SILENT APPROACH has been frustrating, but has a notable black-type placing over C&D in May. She has failed to win in six maiden hurdles but is reliable, bumped into useful types at Listowel recently, and can put her experience to good use. Goodie Two Shoes is probably, by some way, the best of these but her jumping was novicey on her recent jumps debut. Rated 100 on the Flat, she was well held at Down Royal and while capable runner-up Dame Rapide won subsequently, Goodie Two Shoes is possibly a work in progress. Lackaneen Mag and Zoomtime (under a 7lb claimer) finished second and third to Dame Rapide at Ballinrobe and have place claims again, while bumper winner Final Decision was well held on her hurdles debut. Shoot Champagne was beaten a long distance at Listowel.

GOODIE TWO SHOES has made a solid start over hurdles and she should get closer to her useful Flat form as she gains experience, so she's a confident choice to open her account. Lackaneen Mag and Sient Approval appeal as the chief dangers.

A smart Flat sort, GOODIE TWO SHOES ran well back to hurdles at Down Royal last time and can now get off the mark in this sphere.

CAOIMHES PET has been absent since disappointing in February, but was reported to have finished lame on her left fore at Clonmel and might be ready for local connections. Her form at this distance was useful last winter and while her lack of race-fitness certainly isn't ideal, she likes testing ground and contests a winnable race. Kings Halo has been off since winning in March and while he too has obvious form claims and likes testing conditions, he would prefer further. Leroy Leroy has good recent form at this level but would prefer a sound surface, a remark that also applies to Florey Spud. Portarlington's form is generally poor, but he ran reasonably well on easy ground at Bellewstown in July and was well backed when falling at the first on his next start at Cork. Four-year-old He Picked Us might have improved following a mini-break.

A low-grade handicap hurdle that could go to LEROY LEROY who continues in form. The returning Kings Halo and He Picked Us are a couple of other likely players.

A chance is taken on the readiness of CAOIMHES PET whose Punchestown second last season is one of the best formlines on display

SOLITARY MAN bumped into Lucid Dreams over C&D last month and appears suited by this staying distance. A course winner in July, he finished well in August, with the runner-up also scoring next time. He remains open to progression and can better his rating. Gortmillish returned from 609 days off to win twice this summer, with his Downpatrick form being boosted by the runner-up, third and fifth all winning subsequently. He missed two subsequent engagements due to unsuitable going and while clearly able, would prefer a sound surface and has plenty of weight. Lake Winnipesaukee could improve at this distance, but would also prefer good ground. Winning Smut, who is 2lb 'wrong' but partnered by a 5lb claimer, ran notably well here in May, finishing third to Ebor winner Absurde. He also ran well in the Lartigue at Listowel, but might also prefer faster ground. Hartur D'arc has been well held in handicaps, although his rating has fallen.

GORTMILLISH has returned an improved model over hurdles and can make it 3 victories in a row back from a break with his Downpatrick win having worked out. Lake Winnipesaukee could be the danger.

It could be worth taking a chance on SOLITARY MAN whose fourth in a novice hurdle over C&D was a much-improved effort.

Rain-soaked ground won't suit many but WALK OUT has form on soft and could be suited by this distance. A 10-race maiden, she has middle-distance form, ran well at Listowel, and being a five-year-old, could progress further. The forecast rain could scupper the chances of Londonofficecallin, who possibly remains ahead of the handicapper despite being raised 15lb for his Punchestown rout in June. Phils Choice has been withdrawn three times recently due to unsuitable ground and could notch the unfortunate four-timer, as heavy going won't help. Pour The Wine's form is also on good and is long absent, while On My Bike has progressed in summer handicaps but might also prefer a sound surface. Toor Moon ran well on good at Tramore, while Will It Be You showed improvement on yielding at Wexford and runs in first-time cheekpieces.

ROSSIES TARA has yet to get her head in front but is knocking on the door and looks the way to go here on the back of her very good fourth in a big field at Galway last time out. Both Walk Out and Phils Choice arrive on the back of good second-placed efforts and can chase home Mark McNiff's mare in that order. Keeffelee should find this return to a shorter trip in his favour and completes the shortlist.

In fine form on the Flat since his facile victory at Punchestown, LONDONOFFICECALLIN may be able to resume winning ways over hurdles

BYTHESAMETOKEN has won just once in 10 chases, but ran well on his recent return to fences and likes soft ground. A three-time hurdle winner, his recent form is strong and while he has top weight, he drops in grade from a useful Listowel run. Lightly-raced veteran Whatsafellatodo has overcome 271-, 927- and 366-day absences in his career and ran well on soft at the Galway Festival. However, his best form is on good ground, although he is suited by this distance. Jack Holiday's form is also on reasonable ground, but he ran well on soft over C&D in August, with today's rider claiming 5lb. Ricky Langford and stablemate Ardamir both have recent form but would prefer a sound surface. Marvel Fan has a lower chase rating but has been well held recently. Filon D'oudairies blundered at Listowel but had previously shown good form at winter venue Thurles.

WHATSAFELLATODO matched the form of his Ballinrobe chase win when returned to hurdles at Galway last time and he's fancied to continute his good spell back over the larger obstacles. Bythesametoken lurks on an interesting mark and is also respected, with the consistent Ricky Langford preferred to last-time-out runner-up Jack Holiday for third.

With the ground likely to be testing, it could suit BYTHESAMETOKEN most as three of his four wins have been in soft/heavy.

TULLYHOGUE FORT is a three-time winner who continues in form, and is suited by this distance and soft ground. He defeated Likable Chancer at Tipperary in July and while 5lb worse off, has a small edge as Likable Chancer's best form is over slightly shorter and on better ground. Leish Oscars Son finished behind Likable Chancer at Listowel, while Avec Espoir ran well over a similar distance at Listowel, with Definiteadare fourth, but would prefer a sound surface. That can also be said for Glenmalure Lodge, who gained a deserved first success at Ballinrobe. Movie King is rated 7lb higher over fences but heavy ground is also concerning. Black Samurai is a C&D winner whose rating has fallen in recent times, but prefers a sound surface.

LIKABLE CHANCER was unlucky to bump into a handicap blot at Listowel 9 days ago and remains of interest off his current mark. Leish Oscars Son and Tullyhogue Fort head the dangers.

Over this longer trip, the unexposed LEISH OSCARS SON(nap) is taken to turn around Listowel form with Likable Chancer and can score

CEANNDANA, successful over hurdles here in July, can get off the mark on just his second start over fences. The Ross O'Sullivan-trained gelding was a very easy winner at Downpatrick prior to his course triumph and connections wasted little time in switching their attention to chasing back at the Ulster track on his next run. Jumping well and staying on well to finish third over a trip short of his best, the six-year-old has plenty to recommend him now. Point-to-point winner Read To Return makes a quick reappearance having just lost out over hurdles at Roscommon during the week. He has plenty of chasing experience so has to rate a danger. Battle Away, a stablemate of Ceanndana, goes chasing late in life but has a point-to-point success to her name.

READ TO RETURN was a gradual improver over fences last season and proved his stamina for this trip when runner-up in a Roscommon handicap hurdle on return, so narrowly gets the nod over Ceanndana, who wasn't seen to best effect under patient tactics at Downpatrick on his chase bow. Hutchie showed much improved switching to handicaps over hurdles last time and there could be better still to come now quickly sent chasing.

Arriving here at the top of his game, with two hurdle wins and a solid chasing debut lately, CEANNDANA can score.
