16:15 Wexford Maiden Hurdle 16f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (7/1 -56%) Boher Road	7 7/1(-56%)	(1) Boher Road 7/1, Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. Fairly useful winner at 10f on flat. 4/1, Last of 10 in handicap at Down Royal (10.3f, good to soft) 35 days ago, folding. Plenty of promise on completed start in this sphere. One to consider. Latest effort at Down Royal can be safely forgiven; should be thereabouts if at his best.
2	7 2nd (7) (1.38/1 +21%) The Lovely Man	1.38 1.38/1(+21%)	(7) The Lovely Man 1.38/1, Promising type. Second of 23 in juvenile hurdle at Naas (16.3f, soft, 11/8) 155 days ago. Open to improvement and should take the beating. Touched off a short-head in a Naas maiden hurdle in March when last seen; should go close.
3	3 3rd (3) (2.25/1 +36%) Good Heavens	2.25 2.25/1(+36%)	(3) Good Heavens 2.25/1, Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. Useful winner at 8f on Flat. Twenty sixth of 27 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, heavy). Switches from Flat to hurdles. Has needed the experience on both hurdling outings but there could be more to come if the market speaks in his favour. Not easy to assess what is expected here but has the ability to be a significant factor.
4	8 4th (8) (7.5/1 +25%) Yeats Star	7.5 7.5/1(+25%)	(8) Yeats Star 7.5/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 3/1, fourth of 13 in bumper at Down Royal (16.8f, good to soft) on bumper debut 123 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Likely to improve. Capable of winning a maiden hurdle but probably not one of this standard.
5th	6 5th (6) (125/1 -150%) Larkfield Lusive	125 125/1(-150%)	(6) Larkfield Lusive 125/1, Once-raced maiden. Fifth of 12 in novice hurdle (250/1) at Kilbeggan (18f, soft) on NH debut 42 days ago. More required. Creditable fifth of 12 in maiden over 2m2f at Kilbeggan; this is altogether tougher.
6th	2 6th (2) (50/1 -52%) Chutzpal	50 50/1(-52%)	(2) Chutzpal 50/1, Fair Flat winner. Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. 20/1 and blinkers on for 1st time in this code, fifth of 15 in novice hurdle at Tramore (16f, good) 15 days ago. Not a bad effort in a Tramore maiden hurdle last time but this is much tougher.
7th	4 7th (4) (50/1 +0%) Scottish Dancer	50 50/1(+0%)	(4) Scottish Dancer 50/1, Fairly useful Flat winner. Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. 25/1, brought down in novice hurdle at Killarney (16.4f, good to soft) 6 days ago. No show in a Tramore maiden hurdle and brought down early at Killarney; up against it here.
8th	14 8th (14) (100/1 -150%) The Chatty Lad	100 100/1(-150%)	(14) The Chatty Lad 100/1, Once-raced maiden. Tongue strap on, seventh of 10 in bumper at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft, 28/1) on NH debut 20 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. RESERVE. Second reserve; ran better than his finishing position in a Kilbeggan bumper.
10	10 \|U\| (10) (6.5/1 +74%) Dubai Clover	6.5 6.5/1(+74%)	(10) Dubai Clover 6.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 12/1, fourth of 14 in handicap at Ballinrobe (12.6f, good to soft) 39 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Booking of Harvey a plus. Below form on last hurdle run. Respectable effort in a Cork maiden hurdle in January but much more needed.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (150/1 -200%) The Belmont Girls	150 150/1(-200%)	(12) The Belmont Girls 150/1, Doyen filly. Half-sister to modest hurdler Bell of The Ball. Dam (c107/h105) 2m hurdle/chase winner, also 1m winner on Flat. Unlikely to feature. Stable in very good form but this one is best watched on debut.
13	13 \|PU\| (13) (150/1 -127%) Dane Fete	150 150/1(-127%)	(13) Dane Fete 150/1, Fair maiden on the Flat, making GB/IRE jumps debut. First run since leaving Gavin Patrick Cromwell when twelfth of 13 in handicap (66/1) at Gowran (9.4f, good) 16 days ago. RESERVE. First reserve; showed ability on the Flat for Gavin Cromwell; best watched on hurdles bow.

LTO Selection:

THE LOVELY MAN should be good enough to win here for local trainer Colm Murphy. A reproduction of his most recent effort when runner-up in a similar grade at Naas back in March would almost certainly suffice. Prior to that, the Mastercraftsman gelding had shown ability on two earlier runs. Although making his reappearance here after a break, the four-year-old has run well fresh in the past. Boher Road made a promising debut over hurdles when second at Killarney in May before unseating when sent off favourite next time. Provided that he is none the worse for that mishap, the Jarlath Fahey-trained gelding should be a leading contender. Smart flat handicapper Good Heavens shaped well on his initial foray over hurdles before finding the step into graded company too much on his second start. The Joseph O'Brien-trained gelding will find this easier.

THE LOVELY MAN boasts a progressive profile and already has the best form so, provided he's ready to go after 5 months off, he has an excellent chance to open his account. Boher Road looks the main danger and Good Heaven is likely to make his mark if he attracts market support.

16:15 Wexford Maiden Hurdle 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION

16:50 Wexford Handicap Hurdle 16f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	9 1st (9) (14/1 +0%) No Show	14 14/1(+0%)	(9) No Show 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Modest winner at 10f on flat. Good 6¼ lengths fourth of 9 to Prince of Air in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Tramore (16f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Good run at Tramore; that was just his second handicap and no surprise if he got closer.
2	6 2nd (6) (11/1 +21%) Banada Bridge	11 11/1(+21%)	(6) Banada Bridge 11/1, 25/1, respectable seventh of 12 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (17.4f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Merits consideration. Below her best on her last three starts and others look more likely.
3	8 3rd (8) (4/1 +60%) Depeche Mo	4 4/1(+60%)	(8) Depeche Mo 4/1, 14/1, below form eighth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (20.2f, good to soft) 6 days ago. More required. Second in a 2m1f handicap here in May seemed to offer hope but has failed to build on that.
4	3 4th (3) (4.5/1 -13%) Leroy Leroy	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(3) Leroy Leroy 4.5/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2020. 3/1, creditable 2¾ lengths third of 9 to Prince of Air in handicap hurdle at Tramore (16f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Can make presence felt. Close third to Prince Of Air and stablemate Mullins Cross at Tramore last month; contender.
5th	11 5th (11) (7.5/1 -50%) Mullins Cross	7.5 7.5/1(-50%)	(11) Mullins Cross 7.5/1, One win from 27 NH runs. Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. Good 2¼ lengths second of 9 to Prince of Air in handicap hurdle (3/1) at Tramore (16f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Worthy of respect. Is 4lb better off with Prince Of Air from Tramore and has a shot at turning the tables.
6th	1 6th (1) (7/1 -40%) Walk Out	7 7/1(-40%)	(1) Walk Out 7/1, Tenth of 13 in maiden at Tramore (16f, good) on Flat debut 15 days ago. Shaped well when second in handicap hurdle there in May and looks capable of going one better. Should come on for his run in a Flat maiden last month and a player with Blackmore booked.
7th	13 7th (13) (16/1 +20%) Katzoff	16 16/1(+20%)	(13) Katzoff 16/1, 11/1, respectable eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (18f, soft) 42 days ago. Not discounted. Winless from 23 starts and getting no closer to breaking his duck; others much preferred.
8th	5 8th (5) (6/1 -71%) Prince Of Air	6 6/1(-71%)	(5) Prince Of Air 6/1, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap hurdle (4/1) at Tramore (16f, good to soft) 12 days ago by 2¼ lengths from Mullins Cross, driven out. Should continue to give a good account. Stable in cracking form and has a fair chance of following up off 5lb higher mark.
9th	7 9th (7) (50/1 +24%) Prince Quattro	50 50/1(+24%)	(7) Prince Quattro 50/1, Ninth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft, 80/1) 20 days ago. Hard to make a solid case for. Modest maiden form and no show on his handicap debut at Kilbeggan; makes little appeal.
10th	4 10th (4) (16/1 -60%) David's Lad	16 16/1(-60%)	(4) David's Lad 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 9/1, bit below form 18¼ lengths fifth of 9 to Prince of Air in handicap hurdle at Tramore (16f, good to soft) 12 days ago. May come on for the run. Not disgraced but well beaten behind a few of these at Tramore last time; others preferred.
11th	12 11th (12) (33/1 +0%) Cappacurry Croi	33 33/1(+0%)	(12) Cappacurry Croi 33/1, Creditable tenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.6f, good, 33/1) 18 days ago. Others more persuasive. Modest overall form, including on her two efforts in handicaps; makes no real appeal here.
12th	10 12th (10) (28/1 +58%) Windsor Diamond	28 28/1(+58%)	(10) Windsor Diamond 28/1, 40/1, tenth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (17f, soft) 36 days ago. Booking of Quirke a plus. Others make more appeal. Tailed off in a Limerick handicap hurdle in July after 14 months off; hard to fancy.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (9/1 +44%) Baby Chou	9 9/1(+44%)	(2) Baby Chou 9/1, Eleventh of 15 in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Sligo (17.8f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Needs to brush up her jumping but has ability; new headgear tried today.

LTO Selection:

PRINCE OF AIR can follow up his recent Tramore win with his accomplished jockey negating the penalty he picked up for that success. The Philip Rothwell-trained gelding was always to the fore before kicking on and taking control before the final flight. Similar tactics should work just as well around a tight track such as this. Mullins Cross filled the runner-up spot in that aforementioned race but won't find it easy to reverse the placings at these revised weights. Depeche Mo travelled strongly for a long way at Killarney last week before stamina limitations exposed the five-year-old late on. Now back over the trip at which he finished second on his only previous visit to this venue, the Eric Larkin-trained gelding rates a live danger.

WALK OUT looked ahead of her opening mark when second at Tramore in May and, fit from a spin on the Flat, she's worth chancing to open her account under Rachael Blackmore. Leroy Leroy and Prince of Air are the main dangers.

16:50 Wexford Handicap Hurdle 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION

17:20 Wexford Handicap Hurdle 20f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
15	15 (15) (11/1 -10%) Kellie's Dream	11 11/1(-10%)	(15) Kellie's Dream 11/1, Course winner. 1 win from 3 runs this season. 9/2, creditable sixth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (17.8f, good to soft) 22 days ago. RESERVE. Third reserve; won a 2m handicap hurdle here a year ago and over 2m2f at Kilbeggan in July.
1	4 1st (4) (2.75/1 +69%) Brideswell Lad	2.75 2.75/1(+69%)	(4) Brideswell Lad 2.75/1, Latest win in chase at Punchestown in April. Respectable sixth of 17 in handicap chase at Galway (22.5f, good, 22/1) 28 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Expected to be bang there from this much lower mark. Much better chaser than hurdle; has won here over fences but others look more likely.
2	1 2nd (1) (3.5/1 +30%) Our Bobby	3.5 3.5/1(+30%)	(1) Our Bobby 3.5/1, Course winner. Latest win in hurdle at Bellewstown in July. 5/1, fell in handicap hurdle at Killarney (20f, good) 43 days ago. Jumping remains an issue. Bellewstown winner fell at Killarney when close up; respeced if that has not left a mark.
3	11 3rd (11) (11/1 +8%) Sea Road Fill	11 11/1(+8%)	(11) Sea Road Fill 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable second of 7 in novice hurdle (6/1) at Sligo (20.4f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Second in a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Sligo; more needed but lightly raced and could progress.
4	9 4th (9) (6.5/1 +41%) Jakie Mac	6.5 6.5/1(+41%)	(9) Jakie Mac 6.5/1, Respectable fifth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (22f, good to soft, 12/1) 98 days ago. Ran well back up in trip when last seen in a 2m6f handicap hurdle at Limerick in May.
5th	7 5th (7) (12/1 -118%) Rockview Roman	12 12/1(-118%)	(7) Rockview Roman 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. 22/1, good second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (17.8f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Of interest on that run. Easily best display over hurdles so far on handicap debut at Sligo last month; progressing.
6th	8 6th (8) (10/1 -67%) Brianna Lily	10 10/1(-67%)	(8) Brianna Lily 10/1, Excellent third of 17 in novice hurdle (7/1) at Tipperary (20f, good to soft) 57 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Should have more to offer. Bumper winner; promising runs in defeat this term and on a good mark for handicap debut.
7th	6 7th (6) (11/1 +31%) Florey Spud	11 11/1(+31%)	(6) Florey Spud 11/1, Remains a maiden after 20 NH runs. 10/1, seventh of 10 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (20.6f, good to soft) 9 days ago, weakening when blundering last. Recent form is more concerning in the context of this race; others preferred on that score.
8th	5 8th (5) (14/1 +72%) Broken Bond	14 14/1(+72%)	(5) Broken Bond 14/1, Eighth of 16 in novice hurdle (33/1) at Roscommon (20f, good to soft) 53 days ago. Disappointing in both handicap starts; well beaten in a 2m4f maiden at Roscommon last time.
9th	3 9th (3) (10/1 -233%) The Mass Path	10 10/1(-233%)	(3) The Mass Path 10/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second of 15 in novice hurdle at Sligo (16.9f, good, 15/2) 54 days ago. Back up in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Likely to improve for shrewd yard. Stable in the limelight and very much among the winners; looks a leading contender.
10th	10 10th (10) (40/1 -82%) Paula's Prayer	40 40/1(-82%)	(10) Paula's Prayer 40/1, Latest win in hurdle at Fairyhouse in April 2021. Tenth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (16f, good to soft, 12/1). Off 23 months. Up in trip. Returned to hurdles with narrow success at Fairyhouse in April 2021; off for two years.
11th	2 11th (2) (66/1 +0%) Talk Of The Town	66 66/1(+0%)	(2) Talk Of The Town 66/1, First run since leaving Peter John Flood when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Cork (18.7f, good to soft, 50/1) 25 days ago, headed after 4 out. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Ran okay in a Punchestown maiden hurdle in May but precious little to recommend otherwise.
12th	12 12th (12) (11/1 +8%) Woodie Wango	11 11/1(+8%)	(12) Woodie Wango 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fourth of 18 in novice hurdle at Cork (18.7f, good to soft, 14/1) 25 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Recent Cork maiden fourth was a step in the right direction; cheekpieces tried.

LTO Selection:

BRIDESWELL LAD appears to hold strong claims of giving trainer Seamus Neville a winner at his local track. The seven-year-old ran a huge race over fences on his latest start when sixth at the Galway festival. Although arguably not as good a horse over hurdles, the Shirocco gelding is difficult to ignore off a 31lb lower rating here. The Mass Path would have been a stronger fancy had connections decided to retain the headgear he wore when runner-up at Sligo last time. With that aid appearing to have brought about significant improvement, it is somewhat surprising that it is dispensed with here. Rockview Roman made a pleasing handicap debut when second at Sligo earlier this month. With the benefit of that experience, the John McConnell-trained seven-year-old should be right in the mix.

BRIDESWELL LAD is clearly a better chaser than hurdler but his mark reflects that so he's worth siding with. The Mass Path is a sure-fire improver now handicapping, with Rockview Roman another to consider.

17:20 Wexford Handicap Hurdle 20f PREDICTION SIMULATION

17:55 Wexford Maiden Hurdle 24f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (28/1 -100%) Stadium Talk	28 28/1(-100%)	(1) Stadium Talk 28/1, Fairly useful winner at 16f in bumpers. Eleventh of 13 in novice hurdle (5/2) at Down Royal (20.4f, good) on hurdles bow 91 days ago. Point' and bumper winner; broke blood vessels on hurdling debut; chance if back to best.
2	8 2nd (8) (2/1 +11%) Silent Approach	2 2/1(+11%)	(8) Silent Approach 2/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Below form fifth of 18 in novice hurdle (10/11) at Listowel (16f, good) 88 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Sets a solid standard. Third in a mares' Listed hurdle at Killarney; disappointing in a Listowel maiden since.
3	4 3rd (4) (3/1 +14%) Coole Cherry	3 3/1(+14%)	(4) Coole Cherry 3/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 4/7, fifth of 10 in novice hurdle at Sligo (17.8f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 22 days ago. Significantly up in trip and has to be capable of better. Disappointing on maiden hurdle debut; steps up in trip and is bred to stay, so a chance.
4	12 4th (12) (5.5/1 +78%) Juniper Hill	5.5 5.5/1(+78%)	(12) Juniper Hill 5.5/1, Third of 14 in bumper at Tipperary (16f, good to soft, 11/2) 57 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Significantly up in trip. Beaten 15l and 16l in bumpers; will have to find improvement to score on hurdling debut.
5th	11 5th (11) (10/1 +38%) Workforadime	10 10/1(+38%)	(11) Workforadime 10/1, Fair hurdler. Remains a maiden after 7 hurdle runs. 17/2, below form eighth of 18 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (22f, good) 83 days ago. Some decent efforts in seven maiden hurdle starts but needs to find more up in trip.
6th	3 6th (3) (16/1 -129%) Coastguard Lady	16 16/1(-129%)	(3) Coastguard Lady 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 9/4, respectable third of 14 in novice hurdle at Tramore (21f, heavy) 14 days ago. Should be capable of better. Will need to improve stepping up to this trip; one of two runners for top yard.
7th	2 7th (2) (100/1 -150%) Another Nightmare	100 100/1(-150%)	(2) Another Nightmare 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Sixth of 10 in novice hurdle (40/1) at Kilbeggan (25f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Soundly beaten in a bumper and two maiden hurdles; best wait for handicaps.
8th	10 8th (10) (80/1 -60%) Tullamore Lucy	80 80/1(-60%)	(10) Tullamore Lucy 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Below form fifth of 14 in novice hurdle (33/1) at Tramore (21f, heavy) 14 days ago. Soundly beaten in two bumpers and not much better both hurdle starts.
9th	9 9th (9) (50/1 -25%) The Kids Choice	50 50/1(-25%)	(9) The Kids Choice 50/1, Winning pointer. 11/1 and tongue strap on, ninth of 15 in novice hurdle at Cork (24f, good to soft) on NH debut 49 days ago. Beaten 55l in a Cork maiden hurdle over this trip so has to improve plenty.
10th	5 10th (5) (4/1 +33%) Iriskana	4 4/1(+33%)	(5) Iriskana 4/1, Promising type. Second of 14 in novice hurdle (6/1) at Tramore (21f, heavy) on hurdles bow 14 days ago, closing all way to line. Cheekpieces on first time. Open to progress. Narrowly beaten in a 2m5f Tramore maiden hurdle recently; should stay this trip; player.
11th	7 11th (7) (150/1 -50%) Mountain Fame	150 150/1(-50%)	(7) Mountain Fame 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. Tenth of 11 in bumper (100/1) at Limerick (19f, soft) 36 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Up in trip. Soundly beaten in two bumpers and will need to find plenty of improvement.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (22/1 -267%) Lucky Storm	22 22/1(-267%)	(6) Lucky Storm 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 16/1, second of 14 in novice hurdle at Tramore (16f, heavy) 14 days ago, well positioned. Significantly up in trip. Respected. Decent effort at Tramore last time over 2m; a player if staying this trip.

LTO Selection:

SILENT APPROACH has every chance of registering a first career win in a race where on her best form she sets a decent standard. The Con O'Keeffe-trained mare finished third in a well contested Listed hurdle at Killarney in May but failed to back that run up when a beaten favourite at Listowel subsequently. Now stepped up markedly in trip for the first time, the five-year-old looks to hold strong claims. Workforadime was unlucky in running when the subject of a gamble at Kilbeggan in May but has failed to trouble the judge in two runs since then. The Charles Byrnes-trained mare is another that should appreciate the emphasis on stamina here. Lucky Storm would have gone very close at Tramore last time only for veering left and throwing her chance away at the final flight.

SILENT APPROACH sets a good standard on her placed effort in listed company and in the hope she can shrug off a lesser effort last time, she looks the way to go upped in trip. Coole Cherry failed to meet expectations at Sligo but is sure to do better, with Lucky Storm another to note.

17:55 Wexford Maiden Hurdle 24f PREDICTION SIMULATION

18:25 Wexford Maiden Chase 20f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (3.5/1 +22%) Joyeux Machin	3.5 3.5/1(+22%)	(4) Joyeux Machin 3.5/1, Useful hurdler. 1 win from 3 runs this season. Latest win in hurdle here in May. Useful winner at 24f over hurdles. 2/1, fourth of 6 in novice chase at Galway (22.5f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Probably the best horse in the race but not yet as convincing over fences as some others.
2	5 2nd (5) (2.75/1 +31%) Effernock Fizz	2.75 2.75/1(+31%)	(5) Effernock Fizz 2.75/1, Useful chaser. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 15/2, second of 4 in minor event chase at Ballinrobe (17f, good to soft) 4 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Very game runner-up in a conditions chase at Ballinrobe on Monday; should run her race.
3	2 3rd (2) (2.5/1 +9%) Lucky Zebo	2.5 2.5/1(+9%)	(2) Lucky Zebo 2.5/1, Useful chaser. 2 wins from 2 runs this season. Career best when winning 11-runner novice chase at Kilbeggan (19f, soft, 10/11) on debut over fences 49 days ago, soon clear. Should progress. Made a winning debut over fences at Kilbeggan in July; already looks a better chaser.
4	6 4th (6) (22/1 +33%) Time To Rocco	22 22/1(+33%)	(6) Time To Rocco 22/1, Fairly useful chaser. Latest win in chase at Thurles in March. Fifth of 7 in minor event chase (25/1) at Tramore (21.6f, heavy) 14 days ago. Uphill task. Winning debut over fences at Thurles in March; held in better company since.
5th	1 5th (1) (8.5/1 -42%) I A Connect	8.5 8.5/1(-42%)	(1) I A Connect 8.5/1, Useful chaser. 1 win from 3 runs this season. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 6-runner novice chase (4/1) at Tipperary (16.8f, soft) 59 days ago, digging deep. Narrowly landed a 2m1f beginners chase at Tipperary in July; more needed here but capable.
6th	3 6th (3) (3.33/1 -48%) Uncle Phil	3.33 3.33/1(-48%)	(3) Uncle Phil 3.33/1, Useful chaser. 1 win from 2 runs this season. 5/2, didn't need to be at best when winning 7-runner novice chase at Kilbeggan (19.4f, good) 74 days ago, easily. Open to improvement. This is tougher but his jumping was good at Kilbeggan and that will be an important factor.

LTO Selection:

Time To Rocco is likely to struggle, but a case can be made for the remaining five. It's somewhat surprising to see Uncle Phil return to Wexford, with Patrick Mullins commenting after his recent Kilbeggan success: "This track suited him much better, a flatter track. Wexford was a bit too stiff for him, he likes to get on with it." I A Connect finished behind Uncle Phil at the Co Westmeath venue and while since successful at Tipperary, he might find it difficult to reverse the form. The admirable Effernock Fizz ran another fine race when second at Ballinrobe on Monday and with Carl Millar again claiming a valuable 7lb, she should give a good account of herself. Bidding to complete a four-timer, Lucky Zebo faces his toughest task to date, but it'll come as no surprise if he manages to prevail. While disappointing at Galway, JOYEUX MACHIN is given the chance to redeem himself. The locally trained six-year-old clearly acts well around Bettyville and can take this quality affair.

LUCKY ZEBO was progressive over hurdles during the spring and took another step forward when scoring in good style on his chase debut back from a two-month break at at Kilbeggan. He clearly has a bright future in this sphere and is taken to get the better of another promising recruit in Uncle Phil, who also landed a maiden chase at Kilbeggan where he produced an impressive round of jumping. Effernock Fizz is best of the rest.

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (7/1 -75%) Downtown Queen	7 7/1(-75%)	(1) Downtown Queen 7/1, Fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles. Very good second of 11 in handicap chase (11/2) at this course (19.8f, heavy) 21 days ago. Enters calculations. Fine run on C&D handicap debut three weeks ago; 4lb higher but should be a major player.

Needs a couple of these to falter. Maiden after 13 starts between hurdles and fences; has to improve loads on recent form.
3	5 3rd (5) (4.5/1 +36%) Midnight It Is	4.5 4.5/1(+36%)	(5) Midnight It Is 4.5/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 10 in handicap chase at this course (16f, heavy, 5/1) 21 days ago. Back up in trip. Hasn't run badly in two handicap chases lately, including over 2m here last time; squeak.

5th	8 5th (8) (6/1 +0%) Rebel Waltz	6 6/1(+0%)	(8) Rebel Waltz 6/1, Latest win in chase at Clonmel in June. 4/1, respectable third of 12 in handicap chase at Killarney (23f, soft) 7 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Some decent handicap runs lately, including at Killarney last week; be involved.
6th	10 6th (10) (3/1 +57%) Early Arrival	3 3/1(+57%)	(10) Early Arrival 3/1, One win from 25 NH runs. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (25.7f, good, 3/1) 18 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Back down in trip. 13lb lower over fences but needs to improve from his last run in this sphere at Killarney.
7th	12 7th (12) (18/1 +10%) Neptunus Equester	18 18/1(+10%)	(12) Neptunus Equester 18/1, Bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap chase at Roscommon (21.3f, soft, 33/1) 24 days ago. Stable in good form. Is 4lb out of the handicap but yard is in fine form so can't be ruled out.
8th	9 8th (9) (33/1 +0%) Echoes Of Family	33 33/1(+0%)	(9) Echoes Of Family 33/1, One win from 28 NH runs. Pulled up in handicap chase at Roscommon (21.3f, soft, 20/1) 24 days ago. Made a mistake and pulled-up in testing ground on recent return but can be forgiven that.
9th	6 9th (6) (20/1 -100%) Robyndeglory	20 20/1(-100%)	(6) Robyndeglory 20/1, Fair winner at 24f over hurdles. Fourth of 9 in novice chase at Tramore (21.7f, soft, 20/1) 12 days ago. Visor back on. Makes handicap chase debut. Difficult ask. Should have improved from last time after a break and of some interest entering handicaps.
10th	2 10th (2) (40/1 -43%) Black Samurai	40 40/1(-43%)	(2) Black Samurai 40/1, C&D winner. 40/1, eighth of 11 in handicap chase at Kilbeggan (24.4f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Tailed-off on return from a long absence last time and can only be watched.
11th	7 11th (7) (4/1 -14%) Search For A Myth	4 4/1(-14%)	(7) Search For A Myth 4/1, Promising sort. 2 wins from 3 runs this season. Creditable fifth of 18 in handicap hurdle (7/2) at Cork (18.7f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Shortlist material. Not a bad run off a higher mark over hurdles at Cork and should run well again.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (66/1 -65%) Downthecellar	66 66/1(-65%)	(3) Downthecellar 66/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Pulled up in handicap chase (20/1) at this course (19.8f, heavy) 21 days ago, soon beaten. Below form this term and pulled-up over C&D last time.

LTO Selection:

SEARCH FOR A MYTH has turned a corner this season, winning two of her three starts to date. Successful here in May, she followed-up at Tipperary before finishing a close fifth of 18 on her latest outing at Cork. Mixing it between hurdles and fences, the Flemensfirth six-year-old looks well-capable of winning a race of this standard. With Paddy O'Hanlon claiming a valuable 5lb, Early Arrival is given second preference. While she has just one win to her name from 29 career starts, she has been running well of late and can make her presence felt. Beaten by just half-a-length over the course and distance on her most recent start, Downtown Queen is sure to have plenty of supporters and it'll come as no surprise if she manages to prevail. Lake Chad also filled the runner-up spot at Tramore and while that was an excellent effort, he hasn't managed to win a race in well over a year. Robyndeglory warrants respect on her handicap debut over fences, while Rebel Waltz is another for the shortlist.

There should be better to come from SEARCH FOR A MYTH, who opened her chase account at the second attempt at Tipperary in July and there was nothing wrong with effort in a big-field handicap hurdle at Cork next time. Rebel Waltz was placed off this mark at Killarney last week and is second choice now back down in trip, while Downtown Queen and Early Arrival are others with claims.

1	6 1st (6) (8/1 +33%) North Of Nashville	8 8/1(+33%)	(6) North Of Nashville 8/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable tenth of 16 in handicap hurdle (11/1) at Tramore (20.5f, good) 15 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Back up in trip. Makes handicap chase debut. Just a glimpse of ability in two chase runs last year; cheekpieces worn last time left off.
2	1 2nd (1) (8/1 -45%) Room To Roam	8 8/1(-45%)	(1) Room To Roam 8/1, One win from 41 NH runs. Creditable third of 11 in handicap chase (9/1) at Kilbeggan (24.4f, good to soft) 20 days ago, doing too much too soon. Expected to be bang there. Went close in this sphere at Tipperary before a lesser run at Kilbeggan; could be involved.
3	11 3rd (11) (11/1 -47%) Courting Vickie	11 11/1(-47%)	(11) Courting Vickie 11/1, Unreliable type. 10/1, creditable third of 13 in handicap chase at Roscommon (21.3f, soft) 24 days ago. Decent effort when third at Roscommon; probably stays this trip and can go well.
4	2 4th (2) (8.5/1 +15%) Where's Bunny	8.5 8.5/1(+15%)	(2) Where's Bunny 8.5/1, Course winner. Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap chase (14/1) at Tramore (21.7f, soft) 12 days ago, not ideally placed. Others more persuasive. Course winner; not at best this year but some good runs; best form on good ground.
5th	7 5th (7) (14/1 -56%) Ocean Legacy	14 14/1(-56%)	(7) Ocean Legacy 14/1, Creditable third of 13 in handicap hurdle at this course (24f, soft, 11/2) 21 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Course winner and decent hurdles runs last twice; seems to stay this trip; could go well.
6th	4 6th (4) (8.5/1 +6%) William Of Wykeham	8.5 8.5/1(+6%)	(4) William Of Wykeham 8.5/1, Highly promising sort. Ninth of 14 in novice chase at Kilbeggan (19.4f, good to soft, 33/1) 89 days ago, considerately handled. Up in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes handicap chase debut. Well held in three chase starts and needs to show much more on handicap debut.
7th	9 7th (9) (18/1 -50%) Rule Of June	18 18/1(-50%)	(9) Rule Of June 18/1, One win from 23 NH runs. Unseated rider in handicap chase (15/2) at Tramore (21.6f, heavy) 14 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Struggled in testing ground at Tramore last time; not ruled out if ground is decent.
8th	10 8th (10) (3.5/1 +13%) Rudy Catrail	3.5 3.5/1(+13%)	(10) Rudy Catrail 3.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win in chase at Roscommon in August. 4/1, good second of 13 in handicap chase at Kilbeggan (25f, soft) 7 days ago, clear of rest. Can make presence felt.

8	8 \|PU\| (8) (5.5/1 +0%) Tennessee Titan	5.5 5.5/1(+0%)	(8) Tennessee Titan 5.5/1, Bit below form fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (21.1f, good, 7/2) 91 days ago. Makes chase debut. Makes handicap chase debut. Point' winner seemed to stay this trip over hurdles and can't rule out on chasing debut.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (10/1 +29%) Chelseas Friend	10 10/1(+29%)	(5) Chelseas Friend 10/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Modest winner at 25f over hurdles. 18/1, third of 15 in handicap chase at Tramore (21.6f, heavy) 14 days ago. Not bad effort at Tramore last time; better ground today should suit; chance.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (11/1 +56%) Corrigaleen	11 11/1(+56%)	(12) Corrigaleen 11/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle (18/1) at Tramore (20.5f, good) 15 days ago, losing touch before 3 out. Switches from hurdles to chase. Up in trip. Booking of O'Callaghan a plus. Maiden in all spheres makes no appeal.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (20/1 -67%) Full Noise	20 20/1(-67%)	(3) Full Noise 20/1, 1 win from 3 runs this season. 18/1, first run since leaving Ronan M. P. McNally when seventh of 11 in handicap chase at Tramore (15.7f, soft) 12 days ago, inadequate test. Significantly up in trip. Well beaten at Tramore on debut for this yard and has to rebound.

LTO Selection:

RUDY CATRAIL has been in fine form of late and looks the safest option in this low-grade affair. The likeable front-runner claimed this very race four years ago and registered a fifth track success when delivering on his penultimate start at Roscommon. He again bravely attempted to make all at Kilbeggan on Friday of last week and while ultimately failing to hold off Winnie Woodnutt, he was 35-lengths clear of the third. Tennessee Titan is given second preference, racing off his hurdles mark of 91. The locally trained seven-year-old has a point-to-point win to his name and should be able to make an impact in a contest of this quality. North Of Nashville has a similar profile and with Jordan Gainford a positive jockey booking, it'll be interesting to see how she fares. Top-weight Room To Roam, course winner Ocean Legacy and Roscommon third Courting Vickie are other leading hopes.

A first taste of success over fences could be on the cards for ROOM TO ROAM, who went close at Tipperary on his penultimate start before doing too much too soon at Kilbeggan. He remains on a workable mark and has conditions in his favour. William of Wykeham has failed to make an impact in three qualifying runs in this sphere but is likely to be seen in a better light now pitched into a handicap and is second choice ahead of Rudy Catrail and Courting Vickie.
