Nastya^p1,t⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 116

12/1

Fortunate to double her tally over fences at Limerick (25f) in May. However, has been let down by her jumping when failing to complete both outings since, pulled up at Tramore 6 weeks ago. Cheekpieces reached for.

Form: 21F-1PP

Jolie Jewel^h³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: James Smith⁽⁵⁾| T: B McMahon| OR: 112

5/2

Fairly useful winning hurdler who has matched that form in 4 starts over fences this season, 1½ lengths third of 7 in maiden at Ballinrobe (23f) 5 weeks ago. Interesting as she makes handicap chase debut.

Form: 06-3263

Beauforts Storm^p1³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr D Doyle⁽⁷⁾| T: T Doyle| OR: 110

22/1

Best effort over fences when runner-up in mares maiden at Tramore (2m) in May. Hasn't kicked on from that effort since, though, well-beaten fourth of 5 in novice at Wexford last time. Cheekpieces applied for handicap chase debut.

Form: 72U744

Bynx⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Sean Flanagan| T: M Hassett| OR: 110

20/1

Versatile performer who won over 2m on the Flat this summer. Creditable fourth of 6 in handicap chase at Wexford (2m) next outing, but added to this season's patchy record back hurdling when well held at Listowel (2¼m) 8 days ago.

Form: 1-68480

Neon Diamond^p¹¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Sam Ewing| T: G Elliott| OR: 110

25/1

Bumper/hurdles winner and ran to a similar level when making the frame in mares maidens on first 2 starts over fences. Form has been mixed in 3 subsequent outings, though, not jumping well when pulled up in handicap at Perth (3m) in June.

Form: 54255-P

Ad Caelum^t¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Alan O'Sullivan⁽⁵⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 102

12/1

Fairly useful hurdler, landing a Kilbeggan handicap (3m) in June. However, she's still looking for a first win over fences, making little impact tried in tongue strap when fifth of 9 in mares maiden at Ballinrobe (23f) 17 days ago.

Form: 315PP5

Chosen Shant^p⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 10-10| J: Phillip Enright| T: Aengus King| OR: 100

5/1

Both hurdles wins at Wexford and has scored in 2 handicap chases there this season, the latest over 19f last month. Back hurdling, again ran well when sixth of 18 in mares handicap at Listowel 8 days ago. Not taken lightly back up in trip.

Form: 712516

Ladies Well^t¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Cian Quirke| T: A Slattery| OR: 98| BF| D

7/2

Has taken well to chasing this season, winning 23f handicaps at Killarney in July and August (runner-up at this course in between). Shaped as if still in top form when fourth of 16 at Ballinrobe last time, left with too much to do. Strong contender.

Form: 2U1214

Shannon Bank^p³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Daniel King| T: A Kinirons| OR: 97

10/1

Off the mark on second run for this stable in mares handicap hurdle at Listowel (2m) in June. However, has gone backwards from that effort in 2 chase starts since, pulled up in handicap at Killarney last time.

Form: 2P-717P

Miss Lia^p⁵⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Shane O'Callaghan⁽³⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 88

9/2

Runner-up 4 times in handicap hurdles in 2025/26. Yet to fire this season, though, including on second chase start when mid-field in handicap at Downpatrick (24f) in June. Fared little better back hurdling at the same venue last month. 2 lb out of the weights here.

Form: 2P2-067

Forecasts

Jolie Jewel (5/2), Ladies Well (7/2), Miss Lia (9/2), Chosen Shant (5/1), Shannon Bank (10/1), Nastya (12/1), Ad Caelum (12/1), Bynx (20/1), Beauforts Storm (22/1), Neon Diamond (25/1)

LADIES WELL has shown improved form sent chasing this season, landing 2 handicaps and continuing in good heart when never-nearer fourth at Ballinrobe 17 days ago. She is taken to resume winning ways, at the expense of the in-form Chosen Shant and handicap-debutant Jolie Jewel.
