9/2

Improved on just second start for this yard when winning 3m handicap hurdle at Galway in August. Backed it up with an excellent third of 14 at Listowel (3m) in September but possibly caught out by the shorter trip and sharp track on his recent chasing debut at Wexford. Better to come.

Form: 9P/4135

40/1

Standout effort over hurdles to date when winning 16-runner maiden at Kilbeggan (2¼m, good) on debut in May. Attentions now switched to the larger obstacles with a tongue tie also reached for.

Form: 14P

22/1

Bumper winner on final start for P. M. J. Doyle who showed the benefit of his hurdling debut effort when third of 25 in maiden at Fairyhouse (2m) in April. Proved a let-down on return at Gowran last month and connections now turn their attentions to chasing. Up in trip.

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Daniel King| T: R O'Sullivan

7/1

Much improved for present stable this season, easily winning maiden at Punchestown (2m) in June. Fine third in 21f novice at Galway next time but not in the same form when filling that spot on both subsequent starts. Makes chasing debut with a first-time tongue tie applied.

Form: 6-31333

Some Song²⁸

11/8

Fortunate when winning a maiden hurdle at Down Royal last season and left chasing debut effort behind when fourth of 8 in beginners chase at Galway (2¼m, soft) 4 weeks ago. Step up to 3m looks a good move and open to further improvement with his yard in top form.

Form: 1/1P6-44

Speculateur^t1¹⁷⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| D

9/2

Placed on first 5 starts over hurdles and made the most of an excellent opportunity to get off the mark in 9-runner maiden at Sligo (2½m, good to soft) when last seen 6 months ago. Plenty to like for powerful connections now chasing in a first-time tongue tie (winning pointer).

Form: 23333-1

Jolie Jewel^h³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Phillip Enright| T: B McMahon| OR: 115| BF

5/1

Fairly useful winning hurdler who has matched that form in 5 starts over fences this season, most recently when second of 10 in handicap at Roscommon (2¾m, good to soft) just over 5 weeks ago. That effort just about sets the standard.

Form: 6-32632

Forecasts

Some Song (11/8), Speculateur (9/2), Caher Roes Den (9/2), Jolie Jewel (5/1), Rosie's Wings (7/1), Our Soldier (8/1), Chase The Moon (20/1), Mossy Way (22/1), Look Sport (40/1)

SPECULATEUR belatedly opened his hurdles account at Sligo back in the spring and appealing as one who will excel over the larger obstacles now upped to 3m, Gordon Elliott's 5-y-o gets the verdict on return. Some Song represents the in-form Henry de Bromhead yard, and he could be the one to give the selection most to think about, with Caher Roes Den rounding off the shortlist.
