Form & Verdict

Smooth Tom

11st 12lb

J: Cian Quirke

T: Andrew Slattery

Classy hurdler 4-11 in that sphere and rated 140; ground versatile; off since decent Flat run at the Curragh in October; returns with yard in form and his half-brother Royal Hollow has won for this stable over fences; could prove hard to beat if fit.

Smooth Tom

11st 12lb

J: Cian Quirke

T: Andrew Slattery

Good dual-purpose performer; third in the Irish Lincoln this year off 94; won a 2m conditions hurdle at Cork in April; below best when facing a stiff task in a Grade 3 hurdle at Tipperary in July; comfortable winner of a two-runner hurdle at Cork in August; never in contention in a Flat handicap at Listowel; meets Glen Kiln on 13lb worse than handicap terms

Has won a point-to-point, two bumpers and a maiden hurdle on varying ground; highly tried since that maiden win, placing in Listed (16.5f, yld), Grade 2 (2m7f, yld-sft) and Grade 1 (2m6f, soft) company; carries 18lb less than Smooth Tom thanks to useful rider's 7lb claim; rated 132 so obvious chance on the figures.

Mozzies Sister

11st 1lb

J: Alex Harvey

T: Declan Queally

Top-rated at 132; 1-7 over hurdles; highly tried after Galway maiden win last October; failed to win but ran well in defeat in listed, grade 2 and grade 1 company at 2m4f-2m7f; below par on chase debut at Ballinrobe on latest but she's the one to beat on return to this sphere.

Mozzies Sister

11st 7lb

J: Mr Alan O’Sullivan

T: Declan Queally

Has won a point-to-point, two bumpers and a maiden hurdle on varying ground; highly tried since that maiden win, placed several times in Graded company at up to 2m6f; outpaced by sole rival in 2m2f Cork conditions event on returning from a break last month which should have set her up nicely for this chase debut (yard had an impressive chase debut winner at Galway on Monday).
