Ballynaheer^p,t²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Rian Corcoran⁽⁵⁾| T: David Dennis| OR: 105

8/1

Four wins last season, the latest at Market Rasen (3m) in April. Had a next-time-out winner behind in third when second at Fontwell (3¼m, good to firm) 20 days ago. More solid than most of these.

Form: 1415-52

Billy Boi Blue^p,t²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 105| D

4/1

Capitalised on a much-reduced mark when winning 16-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter in July but not in the same form over fences here a month later and also below par back hurdling since.

Form: 566157

Ridin Solo^p³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 103

13/2

Gained reward for consistency when taking Sedgefield maiden hurdle in February 2025. Placed in first 3 chases but made hard work of it when only fifth at Bangor latest, going in snatches.

Form: 1P/33-25

Sonyourastar^p1,t³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 102| BF

6/4

Low-mileage 6-y-o who is steadily progressing, going close in 23f course handicap hurdle latest. Cheekpieces are added for chase debut (reached frame in a point). Unexposed at staying trips and leading claims.

Form: 4-88432

Balkardy²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Miss Eleanor Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs C Williams| OR: 101| D

22/1

Refitting of headgear back over fences helped him stop the slide when runner-up at Newton Abbot (3¼m) in July. Failed to build on it when 15 lengths last of 4 at Fontwell since.

Form: P-U7P24

Saint Arion^p²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 97

6/1

Improved second on 2½m Warwick chase and handicap debut in first-time cheekpieces (retained) 3 weeks ago. Made hard work of that and now steps back up in trip.

Form: P0-4642

Pawpaw^p,t⁴⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-9| J: Caoilin Quinn| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 86

40/1

Not the easiest to catch right but was on a going day when running out a wide-margin winner of a weak affair at Hereford (25f) in February 2025. However, ran one of his moody races back from 18 months off at Fontwell at the end of August and it's anyone's guess what mood he will turn up in here.

Form: 51751/P

Moonlightinthepark^t²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: Jack Tudor| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 85

11/1

Runner-up sole start in Irish points. Modest form under Rules so far but it is possible this longer trip will suit her.

Form: 796P-43

Valirann Gold^t¹⁵⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-5| J: Ben Godfrey| T: H Brown| OR: 82

16/1

Latest win in chase at Fontwell in March. 9/2, respectable fifth of 11 there (3¼m, good) in May. Off since but he's run well fresh before.

Form: 34142-5

Forecasts

Sonyourastar (6/4), Billy Boi Blue (4/1), Saint Arion (6/1), Ridin Solo (13/2), Ballynaheer (8/1), Moonlightinthepark (11/1), Washington Parks (12/1), Valirann Gold (16/1), Balkardy (22/1), Pawpaw (40/1)

A point background suggests SONYOURASTAR should take to fences and he's selected to gain compensation for his near miss over hurdles here last month. Ballynaheer won 4 times last season and his latest Fontwell second shows he's resumed in good form. Moonlightinthepark may benefit from this longer trip and is next on the list.
