Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Keith Donoghue| T: J P Dempsey| OR: 119

33/1

Fairly useful hurdler, won twice in mares handicaps last season. Showed aptitude for chasing when third of 6 to Luker's Tipple in novice chase at Tramore in August but had no chance at the weights last time and returns to hurdling needing further respite from the handicapper. Cheekpieces back on.

No Looking Back^b,t¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Phillip Enright| T: O McKiernan| OR: 117| D

14/1

One-time useful hurdler who ran one of his better recent races despite not being seen to best effect when 8 lengths seventh of 20 to Fiveonefive at Galway in August but then ran no sort of race at Listowel last time. Hard to recommend.

Not In A Hurry³⁷

17/2

Walk In The Park gelding who improved on debut when winning 11-runner maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan last month by 1¼ lengths. The assessor has taken no chances, but he remains totally unexposed and the drop back to 2m shouldn’t inconvenience him now fast-tracked into handicaps.

Dairy Force^h⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Kevin Healy⁽⁷⁾| T: G Elliott| OR: 110| D

9/2

Career-best effort and snapped lengthy losing run when landing 12-runner handicap at Clonmel 9 days ago by ¾ length from Kome Dans Un Reve. A 5 lb rise makes life tougher, though, and his tendency to be let down by his jumping remains an ongoing concern.

Cleopatra's Needle^h⁵⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Flanagan| T: H Rogers| OR: 109| CD

14/1

Fair winning hurdler, including over C&D. Ran well when 7 lengths fourth of 20 to Venusienne in mares handicap at Galway last time. Should again be competitive but others preferred for win purposes.

Form: 022/17-4

Kilt¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Ross Sugrue⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 103| D

7/1

Resumed progress when coming from last-to-first in 13-runner conditionals handicap at Listowel in September, beating a next-time-out winner. Will remain competitive off 5 lb higher but remains to be seen if this return to a more galloping track suits his style as well a sharp, left-handed one.

Annie's Angel^p,t⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Conor Smithers⁽⁷⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 103| CD

11/4

Showed improved form when winning 16-runner C&D mares handicap 5 days ago, beating Victoria Kesia by 5½ lengths. A 7 lb rise doesn't look excessive in the circumstances, and she looks sure to make another bold bid.

Form: 25-4581

Crystabel⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Daniel King| T: J P Ryan| OR: 102

22/1

Won handicap at Sligo in July and ran best race since when 3½ lengths fourth of 10 to Midnight Eagle in similar event there last time.

Form: 361354

Might Be The One^t²²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: A McNamara| OR: 96

9/4

Showed some improvement in first-time tongue strap when finally getting off the mark at Downpatrick last month by 8 lengths. She'll need to improve again if she's to defy an 8 lb rise for that success, but she arrives in good form and, with the tongue tie retained, may have more to offer.

Forecasts

Might Be The One (9/4), Annie's Angel (11/4), Dairy Force (9/2), Firebrand (6/1), Kilt (7/1), Not In A Hurry (17/2), No Looking Back (14/1), Cleopatra's Needle (14/1), Crystabel (22/1), Missus Beeton (33/1)

ANNIE'S ANGEL was much improved when winning over C&D last time and is taken to defy a 7 lb rise faced with a similar scenario. Not In A Hurry has had just 2 starts but was a taking winner last time and should be firmly in the mix if improving for the switch to handicaps, while Might Be The One also arrives on the back of an improved success and may have more to offer.
