Coolishael^t1³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Danny Gilligan| T: R O'Sullivan| BF

10/3

Point recruit who has made a good start under Rules, placed in a bumper in May and on both outings in maiden hurdles since, 3 lengths third of 15 to Colliers Quay at Ballinrobe on latest. Sets the standard and wears first-time tongue strap but may prove vulnerable to improvers.

Form: 43-323

Of Land And Sea¹⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Danny Mullins| T: P Hennessy| D

9/2

Crystal Ocean gelding who made it third time lucky in bumpers when seeing off 6 rivals at Limerick (heavy) last season. Stiff tasks at Cheltenham and Punchestown on next 2 starts but ought to prove at least as effective over hurdles if ready to go on the back of a 5-month break.

Form: 45100-

Rokanako²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Mark Walsh| T: Edward F Power| D

11/4

Reached a fairly useful level and won once from 4 starts in bumpers. Shaped with some encouragement when 9½ lengths second of 8 to Splendid Fellow in maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan 3 weeks ago and looks open to improvement.

Form: 0-1422

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mike O'Connor| T: E McCarthy

100/1

€9,500 3-y-o: fourth foal: dam (h115), 2½m hurdle winner, sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 21f) Captain Blackpearl. Likely to need time and a bit more distance.

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Donagh Meyler| T: R O'Sullivan

100/1

€16,000 3-y-o: seventh foal: half-brother to 2 winners, including useful hurdler Nayati (2m-2½m winner, by Spirit One): dam, maiden over jumps in France, sister to smart hurdler/chaser (stayed 21f) Theinval. Last of 4 finishers completed start in points (May 9).

Walkineezy⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Daniel King| T: D Hogan

200/1

Walk In The Park gelding who showed some ability when sixth of 8 in Killarney bumper on debut in July. Went with distinctly less encouragement when well beaten at Galway 11 days later, though.

Form: 60

Bethpage Theatre¹⁰³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Sam Ewing| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 79

250/1

Well held on completed starts in maiden hurdles and makes limited appeal.

Form: F96P

Carleys Lilly¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁵⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 92

50/1

Blue Bresil mare bred to stay well and not without promise in bumpers or maiden hurdles, for all she has offered little win threat. Handicaps over longer trips should suit better.

Form: 493547

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead

6/1

Tell The Boys^h⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Kevin Healy⁽⁷⁾| T: D Queally| BF| CD

7/4

Course bumper winner in May. Was in the process of running well and still in front when unseating rider soon after 3 out in fillies maiden hurdle won by Kingside Lady at Wexford last month. Claims if putting in a clear round of jumping this time.

Tell The Boys (7/4), Rokanako (11/4), Coolishael (10/3), Of Land And Sea (9/2), Give It A Crack (6/1), Gold Star Status (28/1), Carleys Lilly (50/1), Kingston Silver (66/1), Misterous Flechois (100/1), Galway Star (100/1), Awordinyourear (100/1), Its A Vibe (200/1), Walkineezy (200/1), Bethpage Theatre (250/1), Deeter (300/1), Le Vent D'ex (400/1)

GIVE IT A CRACK was placed on both starts in points, is in excellent hands and looks to have been found a winnable opportunity on hurdles debut. Course bumper winner Tell The Boys was well fancied when failing to complete on hurdling debut and may prove the main threat, while Coolishael and Rokanako bring the best previous form and are also capable of being involved.
