Selected odds by:

Banana Three¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 12-0| J: S D Torrens| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 116

20/1

Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Fairly useful winner at 12f on flat. Creditable seventh of 18 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, good to soft, 33/1) 13 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: -3247

Jake Peter¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-13| J: P T Enright| T: M A Cahill| OR: 115| CD

4/1

Back to winning ways in this sphere over C&D last month and followed up in 17-runner handicap hurdle at Cork (16.3f, good to soft, 10/1) 12 days ago, comfortably. 9 lb higher now but looks sure to go well again.

Form: 4-32511

Inchiquin Star^p¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: C M Quirke⁽⁵⁾| T: P Kiely| OR: 113| D

9/2

Aided by first-time cheekpieces when decisively returning to winning ways in 11-runner handicap hurdle (13/2) at Wexford (16.4f, heavy) 18 days ago. Remains feasibly treated and must enter calculations.

Form: 615401

Gwan Tadhg¹⁶⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: M M McDonagh| T: E J O'Grady| OR: 112

13/2

Three-time winner last term who got back on the up when good third of 11 in handicap hurdle (11/1) at Tramore (16f, good to soft) in May. Can go well fresh so merits consideration.

Form: 12115-3

Vischio¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: D E Mullins| T: R Donohoe| OR: 111| D

7/1

Temperamental sort. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 11/2, creditable fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16f, heavy) 19 days ago. Not out of things.

Form: 384P24

12/1

Latest win in hurdle at Clonmel in October. 20/1, creditable third of 20 in handicap hurdle at Cork (20f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Back down in trip. Tongue strap back on. Each-way claims.

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: E Walsh| T: Ciaran Murphy| OR: 104

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Fairly useful winner at 12f on flat. Sixth of 9 in handicap (14/1) at Dundalk (12f) 14 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Poor on last hurdle run.

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: P Byrnes| T: C Byrnes| OR: 101| D

14/1

Tongue strap on for 1st time, well-beaten thirteenth of 17 to Jake Peter in handicap hurdle at Cork (16.3f, good to soft, 18/1) 12 days ago. Work to do.

Form: 00-0010

Sayitfirst¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: D Moloney⁽⁷⁾| T: D Collins| OR: 96| D

12/1

Latest win in hurdle at Roscommon in September. 14/1, creditable 5¾ lengths fourth of 17 to Jake Peter in handicap hurdle at Cork (16.3f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Looks competitive on form.

Form: 761234

Ricky Langford^b¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 10-7| J: T Power Roche⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 95

25/1

Moody sort. Latest win in chase at Downpatrick in August. 28/1, fourth of 7 in handicap chase at Down Royal (16.4f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Makes limited appeal.

Form: U18694

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: G Brouder⁽⁵⁾| T: J Nash| OR: 89

14/1

Sixteenth of 20 in handicap at the Curragh (10f, soft, 25/1) 24 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Respectable on last hurdle outing. Others more appealing.

Form: F933D4

Dream Escape^h⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Sam Ewing| T: T Mullins| OR: 86| BF

7/1

Posted best effort in this sphere when third of 14 in handicap hurdle (4/1) at Gowran (16f, good to soft) 42 days ago. Claims if building on that. Also engaged 4.00 Cheltenham.

Form: 800-903

Forecasts

Jake Peter (4/1), Inchiquin Star (9/2), Luimneach (5/1), Gwan Tadhg (13/2), Vischio (7/1), Dream Escape (7/1), Sayitfirst (12/1), Cozone (12/1), Redcliff Glen (14/1), Arthur's Victory (14/1), Banana Three (20/1), Burren Song (25/1), Ricky Langford (25/1)

JAKE PETER arrives in fine form and ought to have conditions to suit once more. He may be able to complete the hat-trick. Gwan Tadhg and Inchiquin Star head the list of dangers.
