8/1

Off the mark on the Flat this summer. Going the right way over hurdles now, travelled well when pipped in a similar event at Navan (19f) last time. Should go well again off 3 lb higher.

Age: 10| Weight: 11-13| J: Mr D Doyle⁽⁷⁾| T: T Doyle| OR: 99

28/1

Hasn't come close to adding to his sole success in recent starts, finishing down the field in first-time cheekpieces at Roscommon (3m) latest.

Form: P/P00-40

Go To The Moon^t³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: Phillip Enright| T: M M McNiff| OR: 99

22/1

Successful on second of 2 starts in points. Runner-up in pair of maiden hurdles this summer, latterly beaten 17 lengths off a quick turnaround at Kilbeggan (25f). Back down in trip for handicap bow and his opening mark demands a little bit more.

Form: P1/0742

5/1

Off the mark on reappearance at Downpatrick in March before improving to finish second at Limerick (had subsequent winners behind on both occasions). Hasn't fired in 3 starts this season, easy to back at Ballinrobe (2m) latest. Worth noting if market speaks in his favour back up in trip.

Form: 9/12-009

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Jordan Gainford| T: C Collins| OR: 94

11/1

Low-mileage 5-y-o. Hit the frame in a Naas maiden/Gowran handicap last season. In good hands and weighted to go well on his return.

Age: 11| Weight: 11-5| J: Kevin Healy⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 91| C| D

28/1

Trailblazer who was successful over hurdles off only 1 lb higher at Galway (soft) last autumn. Hasn't been in much form over fences of late, though, a spent force by 2 out when well-held seventh of 16 in handicap chase at Ballinrobe (23f).

Form: 067-PP7

Ancient Myth^b³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Ewing| T: N F Glynn| OR: 90

14/1

Ridden more positively in first-time blinkers when beaten 6 lengths at Ballinrobe (2¾m) latest, possibly finding his stamina stretched. Back down in trip for only his third handicap start and still on a potentially handy mark given his Flat form.

Form: 00007

Duce Bigalow¹⁶⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: Colm Ryan| OR: 89

2/1

Knocking firmly at the door over fences for Seamus Neville last winter. Easily made a winning start for current yard in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (3m) in April, doing it in good style from the front. Drop back in trip no issue and may defy a 10-lb rise if ready to roll.

Off over 2 years since his much-improved second on handicap bow at Listowel (2¾m, soft). Entitled to need this.

Trackman Tommy²²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Philip Donovan| T: J P Broderick| OR: 86

33/1

Didn't show much when last seen under Rules for Patrick G. Kelly in December 2024. Won a point in February of this year and market can guide returning to Rules off much-reduced mark for new connections.

Form: U7P/PR1-

Ardgillan^h,t³³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Alex Harvey| T: M M Lynch| OR: 84| D

9/1

Hold-up type. Proved a different proposition in first-time hood/tongue strap when finding plenty to land a 16-runner handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (2½m) latest. Still interesting off 5 lb higher, especially if strong pace materialises.

Form: 7900-01

Bruise Hill^t³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Flanagan| T: W J Burke| OR: 84

6/1

Lightly-raced 5-y-o. Improved back in calmer waters when beaten only by a well-backed favourite at Wexford (2½m) last time. Makes plenty of appeal in a race that should again be run to suit.

Form: 080-682

Move It On Over⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: J J Slevin| T: John F O'Neill| OR: 83

10/1

Found improvement to open his account on return to handicap/longer trip at Sligo last time (21f), all out to hold on. That form has some substance but will need more again to follow up off his revised mark.

Form: 080U41

Stily³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Cian Quirke| T: M J McDonagh| OR: 81

10/1

Maiden who placed off higher marks than this last season. Hasn't fired this season, the first-time hood he wore over fences last time quickly discarded. Not discounted if back on song.

Form: 332-P66

Amron Diamond¹³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Daniel King| T: J Barcoe| OR: 72

28/1

Hit-and-miss maiden who made the frame in 2 handicaps for J. D. Motherway last season. Shaped as if in need of the run on stable debut at Clonmel in May. On a reasonable mark if ready to roll with Daniel King taking over.

Form: 0304P-0

Max Time^t⁴⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Tom Kelly⁽⁷⁾| T: I Madden| OR: 72

22/1

Turned in his best effort for nearly 2 years when 7¼ lengths behind Move It On Over at Sligo (21f), despite taking a strong hold. Will need to build on that to double his tally (1-39 under Rules).

Forecasts

Duce Bigalow (2/1), Let Him B (5/1), Bruise Hill (6/1), Jurality (8/1), Ardgillan (9/1), Move It On Over (10/1), Stily (10/1), Kellys Corner (11/1), Ancient Myth (14/1), Ballyminnion Boy (16/1), Max Time (22/1), Go To The Moon (22/1), Chanceitlucky (25/1), Getaway Charlie (28/1), Amron Diamond (28/1), Kilashee (28/1), Trackman Tommy (33/1), Blackwater Soldier (50/1), Granda George (66/1)

A mightily difficult puzzle with several potentially ahead of their marks. DUCE BIGALOW gets the nod in his bid to make it 2-2 for his present yard. Bruise Hill and Ardgillan are both feared, especially as the pace has the potential to be strong. Ancient Myth completes the shortlist.
