Buddy Holly²¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Ms E C Costello⁽⁴⁾| T: E McNamara| OR: 110

16/1

Walk In The Park gelding who shaped with promise in a Punchestown bumper (for Philip Fenton) last spring. Didn't come up to scratch in 3 starts over hurdles for Nicky Henderson and left that yard for £16,000 in May. Handicap debut from a stiff-looking mark back in distance.

Form: 7/356-

Lord Ffrench^p,t³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Miss N Lockhead Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: S Curling| OR: 104

6/1

Sole success came in a weak Sligo maiden this time last year. Creditable efforts last 3 starts, drop to 17f looking against him with a tongue tie on at Killarney a month ago.

Form: 76-8674

One And Only^p,t¹¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Miss T Quail⁽⁴⁾| T: O McKiernan| OR: 104

22/1

Bounced back to form reverting to hurdling when successful at Limerick in March. Never really a factor both starts later in the spring from revised mark.

Form: P3P18-7

Tippawan Haa^t1¹⁶⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Elizabeth Gale⁽²⁾| T: T O'Brien| OR: 104

28/1

Much more like it when second of 14 at Cork in August but that something of a standout effort in his 5-race career under Rules. Handicap debut with a tongue tie fitted.

Form: 65240-

Woodstream Lad^p⁶⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Alyse Clarke⁽⁴⁾| T: David O'Sullivan| OR: 102| D

33/1

Won handicap at Downpatrick last summer but hasn't managed to repeat that level of form since, including over fences and on all 4 outings this season.

Form: 3PP-250

Earl Neigh^p⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Erin Bayford⁽⁷⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 100

12/1

Has never stood much racing but following a low-key start to his handicap career, he showed more fitted with a tongue strap when fifth at Downpatrick a week ago. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 36-P005

Palace Boy^b¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Miss L Costello⁽⁷⁾| T: J F Gleeson| OR: 100

66/1

One-time fairly useful hurdler who has shown very little in 4 starts for current connections.

Form: 20/0-050

Costanuci⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: Miss O M Queally⁽⁷⁾| T: J Queally| OR: 99| C

9/2

Fairly useful hurdler/chaser at her peak. Given a chance by the assessor and turned in her best effort of the season when second in 2½m Wexford handicap hurdle in July. Failed to make same impact at Navan.

Form: 5P-8527

Gatehouse Boy⁴³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Miss P Elvin⁽⁴⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 99| D

50/1

Much improved when making a winning handicap debut at Limerick in May 2025. Failed to beat a rival completed start that summer and off the track since.

Form: 000/10P-

Tell Me See²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Ms A M Connolly⁽⁷⁾| T: J M Burke| OR: 99

16/1

Shaping up quite well with a view to handicaps, creditable third of 11 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, good) 22 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut and he rates a likely improver.

Form: 9-853

Freddie Robdal^p1,t⁴⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Ms P R Briselden⁽⁷⁾| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 96

22/1

Ran well on return from 4-month break when 9¾ lengths fourth of 14 in handicap chase at Downpatrick in June, despite going through the race in a laboured fashion. Failed to see it out at Wexford last month but does have a handy mark to work with back hurdling.

Form: 220P-4P

Lakewood Rose³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss N C Hennessy⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss N Hennessy| OR: 96

10/1

Pair of in-frame efforts in May/June and better than bare facts both starts since, left poorly placed as the race unfolded at Kilbeggan a month ago. This mark should be within range.

Form: 64-4377

Who's Da Goose⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Miss J Townend| T: E McCarthy| OR: 97

5/4

Left qualifying runs well behind when making a successful handicap debut at Wexford (2½m) last month. Up 9 lb but he's unexposed and represents last year's winning jockey/trainer combination.

Form: 7581

Cornaroya Rocco³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss G Benson⁽⁴⁾| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 96

10/1

Runner-up at Kilbeggan in July and back to that sort of form when fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (2½m, good) 30 days ago. Looks competitive on form. RESERVE.
