Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: P K Donovan⁽⁵⁾| T: D Queally| OR: 125| D

7/2

Fairly useful hurdler. 13/2, creditable eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (24.1f, good to soft) 41 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Ms Margaret Mullins. Hood on for 1st time and must respected back down in trip.

Form: 42-4138

Casheldale Lad^h⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Sam Ewing| T: G Elliott| D

8/13

Won maiden sole start on Flat for Andrew Kinirons and followed up in straightforward fashion sent hurdling in 17-runner maiden at Gowran (2m) 14 months on. Open to improvement.

Form: 1

Frankendael^h³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: C P McNamara| T: E McNamara| OR: 125| D

4/1

Followed up his Ballinrobe maiden win in good style on his handicap hurdle debut at Listowel in September. Didn't give his running for whatever reason at Fairyhouse last time but big chance if bouncing back.

20/1

Fair hurdler. Fifth of 8 in novice hurdle at Limerick (19f, soft, 16/1) 6 days ago, unsuited by emphasis on speed.

Forecasts

Casheldale Lad (8/13), A Tipp For Gold (7/2), Frankendael (4/1), Attaboyarchie (20/1), Maroto (33/1)

CASHELDALE LAD was by no means foot-perfect when making a successful hurdling debut at Gowran in November, but he still did it easily and is open to plenty of improvement, so is taken to maintain his unbeaten record. A Tipp For Gold and Frankendael are a pair of credible rivals, though.
