Cap Bernat^h,t¹⁹

Age: 13| Weight: 11-12| J: Danny Mullins| T: R McNeilly| OR: 87

66/1

Modest form in bumpers and over hurdles and will surely find at least the odd one too strong.

Form: 642/05-4

I Can Find Em⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr D McGill⁽⁷⁾| T: Gary McGill

50/1

Runner-up in points but well held on Galway hurdle debut (2¾m, good to soft) in July. Can only watch after that.

Form: 422-0

Kalico Leader^h²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Tom Buckley| T: E Buckley

40/1

Made frame both completed starts in points. Shaped as if needing more of a test when fifth of 14 in maiden at Bellewstown (2½m, good) on hurdle debut 24 days ago.

Form: F4-25

Lengaruka³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: John Shinnick| T: L Fowler| OR: 97

16/1

Has made steady progress in his 3 starts (third at Sligo latest) but more will be needed to go close here.

Form: 053

Morale Boost¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Conor Stone-Walsh| T: Gary McGill

150/1

Went the wrong way in points after debut success and no encouragement on Galway hurdle debut.

Form: 1/25-P9

Spill A Drop^p,t⁶⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Sexton⁽⁷⁾| T: R K Watson

66/1

Dead-heated in a point. Tongue strap and cheekpieces on, showed ability when sixth of 12 in maiden at Downpatrick (2¾m, good, 33/1) on debut 67 days ago.

Form: F1-4P6

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Philip Byrnes| T: Paul Traynor

Form: 534-0

Emerald Enigma⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| BF

4/5

Won both bumpers in the spring. Turned over at 4/6 on 17f Cork hurdle debut last month but the experience should bring her on and the longer trip promises to suit.

Form: 1-13

Master Sydney^p³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Danny Gilligan| T: P W Flynn

10/1

Matched fair Flat form at the second time of asking over hurdles when third of 13 at Kilbeggan last month. Well held back on the Flat since but should be thereabouts back hurdling.

Form: 8/321-43

Pacy Macie²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr B J Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: B J Walsh| OR: 85

66/1

Thrice-raced maiden under Rules. Best effort when fifth of 12 in maiden hurdle at Wexford (3m, soft) 22 days ago.

Form: 52P-365

Pamelaisbrass¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Eoghan Finegan⁽⁵⁾| T: J G Carr

50/1

Exposed as modest in bumpers and a watching brief is advised now hurdling.

Form: 6-06636

Prophetess Miriam^h⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Ben Harvey| T: C Collins

80/1

Held every chance when falling at the last on sole outing in points and runner-up first 2 of 3 starts in bumpers last season. However, she's achieved little in 3 hurdle starts this summer.

Form: 224-899

Woodie Wiley⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Mike O'Connor| T: Conor Houlihan

No short-term promise in bumpers and a maiden hurdle. RESERVE.

Forecasts

Emerald Enigma (4/5), Airds Moss (85/40), Mossy Way (9/4), Game Theatre (9/2), C Pas Possible (13/2), Master Sydney (10/1), Who's Going (12/1), Lengaruka (16/1), Kalico Leader (40/1), I Can Find Em (50/1), Pamelaisbrass (50/1), Cap Bernat (66/1), Pacy Macie (66/1), Woodie Wiley (66/1), Spill A Drop (66/1), Prophetess Miriam (80/1), Staton (125/1), Morale Boost (150/1)

Bumper winner MOSSY WAY showed promise in a couple of maiden hurdles last season, particularly at Fairyhouse in a race which has worked out well, and is taken to make it third time lucky over timber. Emerald Enigma is the obvious danger, with today's longer trip likely to suit her. Airds Moss made a fairly encouraging start to his hurdle career at Killarney and completes the shortlist.
