1st (8) (12/1 0%) Eve's Hope |
12/1(0%) | (8) Eve's Hope 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. Creditable eighth of 14 in novice hurdle at Cork (20f, good to soft, 66/1) 30 days ago. Does not look good enough on the strength of maiden hurdle outings at Tramore and Cork. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (4/6 +39%) Giant Haystacks |
4/6(+39%) | (4) Giant Haystacks 4/6, Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Barry Fitzgerald when excellent fourth of 23 in handicap hurdle at Navan (16f, good to soft, 25/1) 16 days ago, finishing well. Hard to beat. Can be rated a strong contender on the strength of fourth placing in a Naas handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (18/1 +10%) Ballinoe Blaze |
18/1(+10%) | (1) Ballinoe Blaze 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 22/1, eighth of 10 in novice hurdle at this course (16.2f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Looks flattered by an official rating of 102 that gives him a realistic chance in theory. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (14) (5/1 -11%) Polly Poppins |
5/1(-11%) | (14) Polly Poppins 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 5/1, running well fell in novice hurdle at Tramore (16f, good to soft) 54 days ago joined when falling 2 out, looking sure to be placed (at the very least). Merits respect. Leading but facing challenges when falling two out at Tramore, could make presence felt. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (12/1 +40%) Couldntmakeitup |
12/1(+40%) | (3) Couldntmakeitup 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. 8/1, sixth of 13 in novice hurdle at Tipperary (16.5f, soft) on hurdles bow 11 days ago. Jumping lacked fluency at Tipperary, finished 3 1/4l behind fifth-placed Couldntmakeitup. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (25/1 -108%) Marine Ranger |
25/1(-108%) | (5) Marine Ranger 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Tenth of 11 in bumper at Navan (16.2f, good to soft, 25/1) 17 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Fair fifth at Listowel on the first of three bumper runs, has failed to build on that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (22/1 -83%) Finnicky Filly |
22/1(-83%) | (9) Finnicky Filly 22/1, Modest hurdler. 16/1, bit below form fifth of 13 in novice hurdle at Tipperary (16.5f, soft) 11 days ago. Not a bad run when fifth at Tipperary, in front of Couldntmakeitup and Rorkes Drift. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (50/1 -355%) Glenmalure Flyer |
50/1(-355%) | (10) Glenmalure Flyer 50/1, Modest hurdler. Remains a maiden after 9 hurdle runs. First run since leaving Henry De Bromhead when tenth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (16f, soft, 22/1) 14 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Respected. Modest form for Henry de Bromhead, in rear in a handicap hurdle at Limerick two weeks ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (40/1 +20%) Rorkes Drift |
40/1(+20%) | (7) Rorkes Drift 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1, seventh of 13 in novice hurdle at Tipperary (16.5f, soft) 11 days ago. 88-rated gelding will need to show significant improvement to feature, makes no appeal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|C| (13) (150/1 -275%) Only You Norah |
150/1(-275%) | (13) Only You Norah 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. 33/1, last of 8 in novice hurdle at Thurles (16.2f, good) 5 days ago. Has struggled in four outings including maiden hurdles at this venue and Thurles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (6/1 +82%) Battle Roar |
6/1(+82%) | (2) Battle Roar 6/1, Modest hurdler. 66/1, fourteenth of 16 in novice chase at Gowran (20f, good) on debut over fences 24 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Blinkers back on. Tailed off over fences last time, previously ran well in a handicap off a modest rating. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (80/1 -21%) Kathy Choice |
80/1(-21%) | (11) Kathy Choice 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. 125/1, twelfth of 16 in novice hurdle at Killarney (22.2f, good). Off 18 months. Down in trip. Ran four times in the first half of 2023, nothing to suggest she could feature on return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (6) (40/1 -100%) Mellem |
40/1(-100%) | (6) Mellem 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. 14/1, eighth of 14 in novice hurdle at Limerick (18.7f, soft) 14 days ago. Remote fourth at Naas, jumped poorly when down the field at Limerick, safe to rule out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|RO| (12) (80/1 -21%) Mountrivers Lass |
80/1(-21%) | (12) Mountrivers Lass 80/1, Poor hurdler. 66/1, tenth of 16 in novice hurdle at Killarney (22.4f, good to soft). Off 6 months. Back down in trip. Lacks a recent run, needs to improve on the form she showed in the first half of the year. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
GIANT HAYSTACKS has strong claims. Beaten 26 lengths in a Grade 3 contest on career debut last December, he has shown nice ability in recent months and having run well in a good point-to-point in October, finished nicely in a big-field handicap at Navan last month and a reproduction would give him every chance. Polly Poppins was leading but being challenged when falling at Tramore in October but has place claims while Mellem was well beaten in recent maidens hurdles but ran well in a bumper last September.
This is a good opportunity for GIANT HAYSTACKS to get off the mark. Indeed, he shaped well starting out for this yard in a big-field Navan handicap 16 days ago and a reproduction of that would make him hard to beat. Polly Poppins was in the process of running a big race when exiting at the second-last in a Tramore maiden last time and she will likely emerge as the main danger granted a clear round this time. Glenmalure Flyer is best of the rest.
This is a good opportunity for GIANT HAYSTACKS who coped well in handicap company when fourth in a 23-runner contest at Navan

1st (16) (50/1 0%) Kp's Ladyofknock |
50/1(0%) | (16) Kp's Ladyofknock 50/1, 125/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Gowran (19.8f, good to soft) 24 days ago, pulled up before 3 out. First run for yard after leaving Peter Maher. Poor form all handicap starts and needs a transformation for a new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (15) (5/1 +17%) Mayos Vendangeur |
5/1(+17%) | (15) Mayos Vendangeur 5/1, Creditable third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (16f, soft, 13/2) 14 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Should make her presence felt. Maiden hasn't been beaten far at times and a repeat of best efforts can see her involved. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (9/1 +25%) Star Official |
9/1(+25%) | (7) Star Official 9/1, 10/1, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (16.4f, heavy) 36 days ago. Can make presence felt. Dual-purpose winner but is only 2-40; has to improve on recent outings. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (18/1 -13%) Collaborative |
18/1(-13%) | (2) Collaborative 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Bit below form on last hurdle outing. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Soundly beaten in three maiden hurdles and two Flat maidens recently; has to do more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (13/2 +19%) Marlpark |
13/2(+19%) | (5) Marlpark 13/2, C&D winner in October. 10/1, sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.8f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Has good chance on pick of form. C&D maiden winner ran well enough at Thurles but Punchestown run probably came too soon. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (15/2 +0%) San Aer |
15/2(+0%) | (1) San Aer 15/2, Good third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (15.9f, good, 10/1) 12 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Four Flat wins and put up best hurdle run when 3rd at Thurles last time; chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (28/1 -12%) Thegreenthirteen |
28/1(-12%) | (9) Thegreenthirteen 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 28/1, thirteenth of 16 in juvenile hurdle at Limerick (16.9f, heavy). Off 7 months. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Needs a couple of these to falter. Showed some ability on the second of three hurdle starts; has to be revved up for return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (5/1 +17%) Aboy Joey |
5/1(+17%) | (4) Aboy Joey 5/1, Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle (15/2) at Wexford (16.4f, heavy) 36 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Runner-up twice in the spring and solid off this mark at Wexford last time; needs bit more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (6/1 +50%) On Your Way |
6/1(+50%) | (6) On Your Way 6/1, Bit below form seventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (20.4f, soft, 14/1) 11 days ago. Something to find on form. Best maiden form came over 2m; well beaten in a 2m4f h'cap last time but can do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (10/1 -33%) Tyson |
10/1(-33%) | (3) Tyson 10/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 6/1, eighth of 16 in novice hurdle at Cork (16.9f, good) 151 days ago. Booking of Stone-Walsh a plus. Hood back on. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Solid on first two hurdle runs but not as good last time; go well on h'cap bow if ready. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (16/1 -14%) Boston Bongo |
16/1(-14%) | (12) Boston Bongo 16/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (16.5f, soft, 9/1) 11 days ago. Others preferred. A mistake cost him the win at Limerick in April but questions after pulled-up on return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (10) (20/1 -67%) Job Well Done |
20/1(-67%) | (10) Job Well Done 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 14 in novice hurdle at Killarney (16.4f, good to soft, 150/1) 101 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Open to improvement. The best of three hurdle runs came on debut; worth a market check on h'cap bow. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (8) (9/1 +44%) Pana To Milan |
9/1(+44%) | (8) Pana To Milan 9/1, Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap hurdle (25/1) at this course (16.6f, good to soft) 40 days ago, going in snatches. Others more persuasive. Won over hurdles and fences earlier this year; should come on for recent C&D return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (14) (66/1 -100%) Lacken Forest |
66/1(-100%) | (14) Lacken Forest 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, fifth of 7 in novice hurdle (150/1) at Thurles (15.9f, good) 12 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Not much to show for three maiden runs and has to do much more on h'cap bow. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (13) (33/1 -32%) Brogue Man River |
33/1(-32%) | (13) Brogue Man River 33/1, 6/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (20.3f, soft) 64 days ago, struggling early final circuit. First run for yard after leaving Gavin Patrick Cromwell. Became disappointing for Gavin Cromwell and has to stage a revival for new yard. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
MAYOS VENDANGEUR is progressive and ran well in a better handicap last month. Her initial form was ordinary but has shown consistent ability in recent months with the form of her recent Limerick run being nicely boosted by the fifth-placed horse winning subsequently. Four-time Flat winner San Aer has frustrated in his hurdling career todate, with National Hunt distances possibly stretching him, but ran well in a similar race last month. Rated 86 when finishing sixth in the Lincoln in March, he likes testing ground so should be better suited by today's ground than at Thurles. Aboy Joey has shown nice ability in similar handicaps and has place claims.
This looks wide open and a chance is taken on ABOY JOEY, who stepped up on his reappearance effort when fourth of 11 at Wexford and he is appealing off the same mark here. C&D winner Marlpark will be a danger to all if he puts his best foot forward, while Job Well Done is one to note in the betting on her handicap debut and Mayos Vendangeur is an each-way player.
Coming back to 2m might see ON YOUR WAY in a better light, having been well below his best maiden form over 2m4f last time

1st (2) (11/4 +0%) Franciscan Rock |
11/4(+0%) | (2) Franciscan Rock 11/4, Bounced back to best reverting to hurdles/handicap company when taking 15-runner event at Punchestown (24.1f, good to soft) 9 days ago, always holding on. Big chance if turning up in similar form. 6lb promotion for a recent handicap hurdle provides a basis for optimism at these weights. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (7/4 +30%) Sandor Clegane |
7/4(+30%) | (4) Sandor Clegane 7/4, Useful winning hurdler and smart maiden chaser, again running well when fourth of 7 in Grade 1 at Punchestown in April. Player back hurdling. Good form in novice chases last season, smart novice hurdler the season before last. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (5/2 -11%) Three Card Brag |
5/2(-11%) | (5) Three Card Brag 5/2, Useful winning hurdler and smart form when placed all 3 starts over fences, latterly in Grade 1 at Punchestown in April. Capable fresh and merits respect back over hurdles. Good novice chaser last season, closely matched with Sandor Clegane on Punchestown running. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (5/1 -11%) Plains Indian |
5/1(-11%) | (3) Plains Indian 5/1, Useful hurdler who bounced back to best to snap a long losing run in 8-runner C&D handicap (good to soft, 9/1) 26 days ago, hard held. This is tougher but can't be dismissed. Went up 10lb for C&D handicap win last month, needs to find a little extra now. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
SANDOR CLEGANE is closely matched with Three Card Brag on their previous meetings but is slightly less reliant on testing ground conditions than that rival. The selection finished third, and ahead of Three Card Brag, in Cheltenham's 2023 Albert Bartlett and while the score between the pair is 2-2 following four prior meetings, Sandor Clegane might hold a small edge, with each horse reverting from fences on season reappearance. Recent course-and-distance winner Plains Indian faces a tougher task today and would prefer good ground while Franciscan Rock won a recent Punchestown handicap but also steps up in grade. Recent chase winner Drumgill concedes plenty weight.
THREE CARD BRAG is capable fresh and gets the nod to make a successful return back over hurdles. Sandor Clegane is an obvious threat having done well as a novice hurdler in 2022/23, with recent Punchestown scorer Franciscan Rock also feared.
The 2023 Albert Bartlett third SANDOR CLEGANE is slightly preferred to Three Card Brag, old rivals at this stage.

Evens(0%) | (3) C'est Ta Chance Evens, Fourth of 11 in bumper at Ayr (16f, good to soft, 11/10). Off 7 months. Makes hurdles debut. Up in trip and sure to be well prepared for this. Point winner showed decent bumper form without winning; maximum respect on hurdles debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (15) (11/2 +54%) Whatsanotheryear |
11/2(+54%) | (15) Whatsanotheryear 11/2, Fifth of 19 in novice hurdle at Naas (16.5f, soft, 14/1) on NH debut. Off 7 months. Open to progress. Beaten 40l in a Naas maiden hurdle on debut in April; top rider booked on return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (50/1 -317%) Onlymammycanloveme |
50/1(-317%) | (11) Onlymammycanloveme 50/1, €35,000 5-y-o, Vendangeur gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful hurdler Amber Brook and fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Medical Card. Won sole start in points so worth a second look now hurdling. Tongue tie on. Won a maiden point at Tralee on debut back in May and should be capable of a decent run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (17) (25/1 -56%) Je Suis |
25/1(-56%) | (17) Je Suis 25/1, Champs Elysees mare. Half-sister to 4 winners, including bumper winner/useful hurdler Wilde About Oscar, stays 23f. Won once from 4 outings in points. Won a mares' maiden point but well beaten in a winners' race; plenty of improvement needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (10/3 -48%) Jump Allen |
10/3(-48%) | (1) Jump Allen 10/3, 11/10 and tongue strap on, won 8-runner bumper at Killarney (17f, good to soft) on NH debut. Off 6 months. Makes hurdles debut for leading yard and will take some stopping. Bumper winner seems the stable second-string but there might not be much in it; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (18) (125/1 -89%) Park Rules |
125/1(-89%) | (18) Park Rules 125/1, Walk In The Park mare. Dam, placed over hurdles, out of 2m-2¼m French hurdle/chase winner Folie Star Gate. Best of three point runs when beaten 17l and will have to improve hugely. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (28/1 -75%) Hills Of Glory |
28/1(-75%) | (7) Hills Of Glory 28/1, Winning pointer. Sixth of 18 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (15.5f, good to soft, 33/1) on NH debut 18 days ago. Up in trip. Ran respectably on recent hurdles debut after a long absence; should have improved since. |

8th (13) (150/1 +0%) Sheriffhill |
150/1(+0%) | (13) Sheriffhill 150/1, 16/1, eighth of 14 in novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 24 days ago. Up in trip. Pulled-up in a point and well beaten in a maiden hurdle recently so best watched for now. |

9th (6) (8/1 0%) Harry's Dream |
8/1(0%) | (6) Harry's Dream 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 8/1, second of 17 in novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 24 days ago. Up in trip. Was 2nd in a Gowran maiden hurdle last month; that experience a help; can run a solid race. |

|F| (16) (100/1 -100%) Diamond Approach |
100/1(-100%) | (16) Diamond Approach 100/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 20/1, fourth of 11 in bumper at Limerick (16f, soft) on bumper debut 14 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Back up in trip. Soundly beaten in a point, maiden hurdle and bumper when racing keenly; best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (66/1 0%) Bernie's Legacy |
66/1(0%) | (2) Bernie's Legacy 66/1, Twice-raced maiden. 33/1, eleventh of 20 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy). Off 8 months. Up in trip. Soundly beaten in two maiden hurdles and will be of more interest in handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (125/1 +17%) Dunany Point |
125/1(+17%) | (4) Dunany Point 125/1, 50/1, third of 8 in novice hurdle at Naas (18.9f, good to soft) on NH debut 23 days ago. A 38l third in a Naas maiden hurdle on rules debut recently; has to improve significantly. |

|PU| (12) (100/1 +33%) Quietrunsthedon |
100/1(+33%) | (12) Quietrunsthedon 100/1, €85,000 3-y-o, Sholokhov gelding. Dam unraced sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 25f) Ten Ten. Has taken time to get to the track; best watched unless the market suggests otherwise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (150/1 -50%) Honky Tonk |
150/1(-50%) | (8) Honky Tonk 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Blinkered for 1st time, seventh of 10 in bumper at this course (16.2f, good to soft, 200/1) 26 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Promising bumper debut for Willie Mullins in 2022 but no sign of that for this yard. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
C'EST TA CHANCE showed smart ability in his bumper debut last January and has winning point-to-point experience. Narrowly defeated by a subsequently Grade 1-placed winner in that Naas race, he was subsequently well held in the Cheltenham Bumper and disappointed at Ayr in April but contests a winnable maiden today, stepping up in distance. Stablemate Jump Allen defeated a subsequent dual hurdle winner when scoring on debut at Killarney but should struggle to concede 8lb to the selection. Harry's Dream ran well at Gowran while point-to-point winner Onlymammycanloveme wears a tongue-tie on reappearance. Recent withdrawal Whatsanotheryear has been waiting such a long time for suitable ground, which until now wasn't available.
Willie Mullins holds the aces here but separating JUMP ALLEN and C'est Ta Chance isn't easy. The latter achieved slightly more in bumpers but the former had just the one run and was pretty impressive when winning at Killarney, so he shades the vote. Of the rest, point-winner Onlymammycanloveme is of some interest.
It looks significant that Patrick Mullins rides C'EST TA CHANCE in preference to his penalised stablemate Jump Allen.

Fouin when 5¾ lengths fifth of 12 to Kala Conti in Leopardstown Grade 2 Juvenile Hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft) on IRE NH debut. Off 11 months. Up in trip. Form pick.

KARAFON looks the pick of the Willie Mullins runners on jockey bookings and was the subject of a favourable report from the trainer in a stable tour. The fact that this French import started his Irish career off with a fifth place in a Grade 2 juvenile hurdle at Leopardstown last Christmas shows the regard he is held in. Lady Rose Hackett is going the right way in three runs for Henry de Bromhead and a first-time hood is tried on her. Karamoja is another Mullins representative and this Masked Marvel filly ought to make an impact, while Sheer Raz is well worth a market check on track debut for Gavin Cromwell. Mullins' Funiculi Funicula lurks among the reserves and would be a contender if getting a run.
KARAFON was an excellent fifth starting out for this yard when stepped up to Grade 2 level at Leopardstown when last seen on Boxing Day and shades the vote over his new stablemate Karamoja, who showed plenty of ability in France. Lady Rose Hackett should be in the mix again.
KARAFON(nap) can take this if repeating the form of his Leopardstown Grade 2 fifth place when last seen.

There was a lot to like about ARDFERT MARY's runner-up spot over a similar trip in Gowran Park last month. John Ryan's mare came home well after the third-last hurdle and was clear of the remainder. Philip Rothwell and Tiernan Power Roche have been plundering plenty of winners and Duffys Hodey is another leading contender. This seven-year-old gelding ran his best race to date when getting up for second over a shorter trip in Tipperary. Ryan also has Love Like This who posted a runner-up berth in a higher grade at Thurles which reads well in the context of this race. This trip shouldn't inconvenience her.
RESTLESS SON shaped well on his recent Limerick reappearance and is given a chance to build on that promise with this longer trip likely to suit. Ardfert Mary, Duffys Hodey and Love Like all arrive on the back of good runner-up efforts and head the dangers.
Philip Rothwell's run of form may continue courtesy of DUFFYS HODEY who made a fine start to the season when second at Tipperary.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
CHEERFUL CHAP has been off since May, but has gone well fresh before. He was in good form in the first half of the year as he clocked up victories over flights at Naas and Ballinrobe. He was also placed in Cork, and when last seen over fences at Tramore. One Last Tango was decent over hurdles and has been learning his trade in a couple of beginners chases at Galway and in a rated novice chase in Naas. Similar sentiments apply to Lazer Wolf, who won over flights at Limerick in March, as he is very much unexposed over fences. Stablemates Mighty Oak Lad and Danny The Fence will have their backers in addition to Ishan.
LAZER WOLF looks ready to take a step forward now he goes into handicaps so gets the vote in this very open event. Kilashee wasn't seen to best effect when last at Fairyhouse only two days ago and appeals as the sort to bounce back. Both Ishan and Mighty Oak Lad return from absences but have more to offer and warrant plenty of respect.
ONE LAST TANGO and Lazer Wolf are of interest after showing glimpses in beginners' chases, with preference for the former.

BLEU D'ENFER is entitled to come on from his fourth place over a staying trip at Down Royal last month. That was his first outing for more than six months and the form received a hefty boost when the winner followed up in the Porterstown at Fairyhouse on Sunday. Champagne Mahler would welcome plenty of rain, but he does have a notable third in a beginners' chase at Tipperary in the book behind a horse (Pinkerton) that went on to win the Galway Plate. Undeniable Alibi is likely to progress from an opening fourth over fences at Punchestown in November, while Kiltealy Park won twice over the smaller obstacles and has her first crack at racecourse fences.
Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and UNDENIABLE ALIBI is fancied to build on his promising chasing debut fourth at Punchestown and get off the mark in this sphere. Bleu d'Enfer also has the form to play a part, while Starman and Champagne Mahler also enter calculations.
Course maiden hurdle winner UNDENIABLE ALIBI just makes the cut on the stipulated 116 hurdle-rating maximum and can take advantage
