Baila Conmigo^h¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Eoin Walsh| T: Ciaran Murphy

8/1

Fair 3-time winner over middle distances on the all-weather. Offered something to work on despite racing much too freely when 5¼ lengths fourth of 13 to Puppet Master in C&D maiden on hurdling debut. Open to improvement if settling better.

Whats New⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr A P Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 110| BF

3/1

Not straightforward but going through a good spell at present, placed on all 5 completed starts this season, 7¾ lengths third of 14 to Thesilverbridle in maiden at Bellewstown on latest.

Form: R22U23

First Ascent^p,t¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Danny Gilligan| T: G Elliott| OR: 104

11/2

Has hit the frame in 3 maidens without coming close to replicating his fairly useful Flat form. Getting closer than previously when 2 lengths third of 13 to Puppet Master in C&D event on latest. Capable of being involved if building on that.

Form: P-5423

Geashill Poet^p1

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Kieren Buckley| T: A Murray

100/1

Urban Poet gelding. Dam of little account on Flat. Doesn't look an obvious type on paper.

Man Down¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Niall Moore⁽⁵⁾| T: D Duggan

250/1

Made frame completed start in points and shaped with little short-term encouragement when mid-division in extended 2m maiden at Killarney on hurdling debut.

Form: P-4P0

Scotty Joe⁸⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Shane O'Callaghan⁽³⁾| T: P J Rothwell

150/1

Point winner. Shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when just under 15 lengths sixth of 16 in maiden at Kilbeggan on hurdle debut but always behind at Punchestown since.

Form: 4/P1-60

Tomthescaffolder^p1,t1²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 105| BF

13/2

In frame on all 3 starts in maiden hurdles, posting his best effort when 13½ lengths third of 14 to Newbrook Diamond at Wexford in July. Failed to meet expectations (10/11 favourite) when only fourth in similar event there on latest. Claims on that prior effort but needs to bounce back.

Form: 46-434

Blue Johnl²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: J J Slevin| T: J P Ryan

125/1

Last on completed start in points and well held on both outings in C&D maiden hurdles.

Form: P-R498

Down After Dark^h⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Phillip Enright| T: S Curling

200/1

Wings of Eagles gelding who could hardly have shown any less in maiden hurdle at Wexford 6 days ago. Jumping erratically in a distant last before finally unseating at the second last.

Form: U

Power Of Knowledge³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Mark Walsh| T: W P Mullins| BF

10/11

Bred in the purple but was easy to back and showed plenty of greenness when 6¾ lengths fifth of 13 to Teofil in bumper at Galway on debut. Represents top connections, though, and looks to have been found a very winnable opportunity now starting out over hurdles.

Form: 5

Bayswater Bloom^t³³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Philip Donovan| T: Miss E McCutcheon

66/1

Found her progress coming to a halt when eighth of 18 in bumper at Galway (17f, good to soft) 33 days ago and isn't really bred for this job.

Forecasts

Power Of Knowledge (10/11), Whats New (3/1), First Ascent (11/2), Tomthescaffolder (13/2), Baila Conmigo (8/1), Firebrand (8/1), Midfield Magic (14/1), Bayswater Bloom (66/1), Geashill Poet (100/1), Blue Johnl (125/1), Scotty Joe (150/1), Down After Dark (200/1), Man Down (250/1)

POWER OF KNOWLEDGE is bred to be an above-average prospect and, with his recent bumper debut under his belt, looks to have been found a good opportunity to make a winning start over hurdles. Midfield Magic shaped well on debut for Tom Dreaper and should have more to offer now with Gavin Cromwell, while Tomthescaffolder is also capable of being involved if bouncing back from an odds-on defeat last time.
