14/1
Not a lot to shout abut in three starts last season and much more of the same this term beaten a total of 54L in two seasonal starts. Struggling to make a case for the gelding here.

5/1
Distance winner who finished fourth of 16 beaten 4L after being sent of the 6/1f last time out. Had shown plenty of progress over the summer winning a Limerick handicap off a 7lb lower mark. Worth a market check.

50/1
Winner over C&D at this meeting in 2014. Missing from the track for over two and half years before returning in August. Largely disappointing and difficult to see a turnaround in fortunes.

16/1
Course winner who has won over this distance but has largely been disappointing last season and on seasonal debut at Killarney. Vast improvement needed to land a blow here.

Like A Diamond6
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-9| J: K J Brouder(7)| T: Philip O'Connor| OR:  92
16/1
Well beaten and no impression on seasonal debut in a Gowran Park handicap hurdle over 2m which proved a mirror image of his form last season. Others make more appeal.

Age: 6|  Weight: 11-9| J: P T Enright| T: V Halley| OR:  92| D
12/1
Disputing third when falling two out in a Wexford handicap hurdle in June. Could well land a blow here if regaining progressive form shown in the spring. Second of 13 in this race last year.

Horse silk
Courtin Bb25
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-4| J: D J McInerney(7)| T: P J Duffy| OR:  87| C
10/1
Possibly had the heavy ground to blame for a 89L defeat last time out in a Listowel handicap hurdle last month. Had run well in a Killarney handicap hurdle when not beaten far over 2m4f off a 1lb higher mark.

Mullinavat49
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-3| J: S W Flanagan| T: H De Bromhead| OR:  86| CD
9/10
Course winner who has won over this distance including a win here in August on good ground over the larger obstacles. The win confirmed a progressive season for the gelding both hurdling and chasing.

20/1
C&D winner in June 2016 but has been largely disappointing this term putting in five below-par performances. Others arrive in better form.
10
Horse silk
Ballykea Start114
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-2| J: M P Walsh| T: F J Flood| OR:  85
33/1
Well beaten and not impression in two starts last month beaten a total of 100L. Others preferred and difficult to imagine what improvement first-time tongue-tie will bring.

Age: 6|  Weight: 11-2| J: D E Mullins| T: J Fogarty| OR:  85
40/1
Nothing to shout about last season and finished eighth of 15 beaten 12L on seasonal debut in a Gowran Park handicap hurdle in June. Will have to improve a chunk in first-time blinkers to play a role here.

Horse silk
Rock On Bachp28
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-2| J: B J Foley(5)| T: Ms Alice Curran| OR:  85
20/1
Improved to finish third of 13 last time out in a Clonmel handicap hurdle over the extended 2m on good ground. Could play a role if holding that form but has been largely inconsistent this season.

Marino Marvelp38
Age: 4|  Weight: 11-1| J: C D Maxwell| T: D A McLoughlin| OR:  88
22/1
Well beaten and no impression in four seasonal starts over a variety of distances. Looks a tall order on form to hand.

Forecasts

Mullinavat (9/10), Silent Sun (5/1), Courtin Bb (10/1), Tintown Robin (12/1), Mac Cennetig (14/1), Like A Diamond (16/1), Kalanisi King (16/1), Lady Of The Sea (16/1), Sparkalark (20/1), Rock On Bach (20/1), Marino Marvel (22/1), Ballykea Star (33/1), Get It Back (40/1), Daigreen (50/1)

Verdict

Ballykea Star should be the one to take the field along here with Rock On Bach and Like A Diamond in behind. The selection MULLINAVAT should be keeping tabs on the early pace with jockey-Sean Flanagan waiting for the right time to pounce. Silent Sun and Tintown Robin, second in this race last year can battle for the minor honours.
  1. Mullinavat
