11st 11lb |
Two wins in 2023 for Gordon Elliott on soft and heavy ground; no joy since but step in the right direction in a handicap chase here on latest (19.5f, good); needs to back that up now back over hurdles. |

11st 10lb |
Dual hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott in 2023; out of form for former yard but there were positives to take from fourth of 12 at Tramore in April (2m6f, yielding); didn't back that up back over hurdles at Kilbeggan; a bit hard to trust now. |

Solid placed maiden form on good ground last season; struggled in testing conditions the last twice, including on handicap debut at Cork in December; returns from a break now with ground to suit, so check the market. |

Won this race in 2024 off this rating and fourth off 5lb higher last year; hinted that he may be returning to form in a handicap chase at Wexford on latest; could go well. |

Got off the mark over fences when taking this race last year but hasn't repeated that form since between hurdles and fences; however, is 1lb lower than a year ago so has to be respected. |

11st 4lb |
All three hurdle wins have come here at 2m4f and 3m2f on decent ground; standout run this year when just failing to get up over 3m2f last month (good); tame Galway effort last week but has to be respected back here with such a good record at the track. |

All three hurdle wins have come at Sligo where he went close 17 days ago (3m1f, good); has something to prove away from that venue but he's not without hope. |

Won over C&D last year but has been hit and miss since (best run in that time was also here); has to be considered due to his record at this venue. |

Scored over 3m2f here last May on good ground; placed again here over 25.5f in October off his revised mark; below best when last seen in January and this trip may be too sharp. |

Maiden hurdle winner at Kilbeggan two seasons ago; second in a Sligo handicap last August off this mark; poor form in three points last October/November; jumped poorly and pulled up on return to hurdling at Kilbeggan in April; back to form in first-time blinkers at Sligo in May, winning narrowly despite an untidy round of jumping; has changed stable. |

Progressive mare has won three of last four completed outings, including last two in 2m6f handicaps at Clonmel and when defying 7lb rise at Limerick last month in ready fashion to win going away; up a further 9lb so more needed but quite possible. |

11yo is 1-27 over hurdles, the win coming at Sligo in August last year off 4lb higher (3m2f, good); okay fifth on seasonal return at Kilbeggan in June (3m1f, good to yielding) but was tailed off at Sligo last time (3m2f, good); others preferred. |

One of two for trainer; sole success in 26 hurdle starts came over C&D in August off 6lb lower when winning by 15l (good); should come on for creditable fifth on return at Kilbeggan. |

Might have appreciated the three month break when returning to some sort of form in a 3m1f handicap hurdle here last month; could run well but others look that bit more likely. |

Little to shout about in maidens but ran better race switched to handicaps at Kilbeggan when a 10.5l seventh over this trip; midfield finish at Ballinrobe last time (2m6f, good); down 2lb more and place chance with 7lb claimer back aboard. |

Betting Forcast
12/1 Ringdufferin, 5/1 Luck Between Us, 10/1 Dorans Law, 7/1 Cornmarket, 8/1 Keep Em Quite, 15/2 Ilbdare, 6/1 Mr Dibbs, 5/1 Sallap, 8/1 Tango Theatre, 10/1 Hey Babbs, 14/1 The Little Yank, 4/1 Strong Contender
Verdict
Still at the right end of the handicap after a 9lb rise for an emphatic breakthrough win at Wexford, STRONG CONTENDER can back that up. Sallap can continue on an upward curve after two wins and a respectable Galway run. Long-priced Killarney winner Luck Between Us also seems progressive. Cornmarket and Ilbdare may prove best of a group of course winners. [Alan Sweetman]
