Winless in his last four starts, he has struggled since returning from a layoff, being well beaten when outpaced at Ballinrobe last time. Blinkers fitted today as connections try a new angle; effective over today's trip and going, but needs to find considerably more.

Carrying top weight of 12-0 with poor form of P/78-8 and a weak Saturday Rating of 66 at 22/1 outsider odds.
A pair of runner-up efforts in his last two outings mark him out as a genuine threat, and he handles today's going well; progressive profile and with more to offer, particularly over a more demanding stamina test. First-time tongue-tie applied; still to get his head in front.

Carrying top weight of 11-12 with a modest Saturday Rating of 93 and inconsistent form of 995-22 limits confidence despite 10/3 odds.
Held on his handicap debut at Wexford, though the going could have been on the quick side that day; handles today's softer conditions better and looks the type to progress further now settling into handicap company. Yet to win, but retains scope for improvement on these terms.

Carrying top weight of 11-10 with poor form of 005-6, a Saturday Rating of 78, and unfancied at 11/1 signals minimal winning prospects.
Off the track for 232 days, she returns to hurdling in a first-time tongue-tie after pulling up in a chase where the ground proved too soft. Has shown ability at today's distance and conditions at her best, but has plenty to prove after such a lengthy absence.

A Saturday Rating of 62, 50/1 odds, and form ending in a pull-up make Stretchemout a very unconvincing contender.
Top-rated in the field, she landed a handicap hurdle at Clonmel last time, drawing away by over three lengths off a lower mark and travelling strongly throughout; typically held up and appears to be developing well as she gains more experience over staying trips. Effective over today's trip and going, and the one to beat.

Carrying top weight of 11-5 with a Saturday Rating of 86 and dismissed at 15/2 by the market limits Sallap's winning prospects.
Returned to hurdling with a down-the-field effort here most recently, and her record across points and hurdles has been patchy; showed some promise when runner-up in her last few outings, and she handles today's trip and going. Hard to rely on, though not without claims if producing her best.

A Saturday Rating of 57, 25/1 odds, and form showing a fall and a zero make She'll Be Kept an extremely weak contender carrying 11-5.
Landed a handicap at Listowel last time, going up in trip to score by over two lengths off a lower mark; consistent profile and may have more in reserve now he has opened his account. Effective on today's going, though the further step up to 22 furlongs may test his stamina.

89SR—RPR90OR—Votes
✦AI verdict
Solid recent win caps 3554-1 form, but 11-4 weight and 89 Saturday Rating limit confidence at 4/1.
Held up as usual, he was well beaten at Downpatrick on his latest start, left with too much ground to cover over a shorter trip; first-time cheekpieces today as he returns from a short break. Handles today's distance with cut in the ground, though his trainer is currently going through a lean spell.

Poor recent form (0F574-) and a mid-range Saturday Rating of 81 make 15/2 odds unappealing at 11-3.
Held in recent outings over shorter trips, she appeared to need a more searching test at Clonmel last time; stepping back up in distance today in a first-time tongue-tie, and she handles today's going and trip. Yet to score in her last five starts, but the return to further looks a positive.

Poor recent form (5070-6) and a high weight of 11-3 at 6/1 make Stumblin In's 81 Saturday Rating unconvincing.
Stepped up in trip and dropped in class at Tramore last time, finishing second off a lower mark; an encouraging run, and he handles today's distance and going. In cheekpieces today; yet to score in recent starts, but the form is heading in the right direction.

Carrying top weight of 11-1 at 9/1 with a Saturday Rating of 78 and patchy form of 080-02 limits confidence.
Well held in his last five outings, including well beaten at Sligo most recently; yet to demonstrate anything at this level and struggling throughout. First-time cheekpieces fitted today, but with his trainer going through a difficult run of results, he holds little appeal here.

✦AI verdict
A Saturday Rating of 62, 20/1 odds, and form reading 090-U8 make Whatafoolbelieves a rank outsider with no winning case.
Rates highly on our figures despite a patchy recent record; failed to respond to blinkers when pulled up in a handicap chase at Downpatrick last time. Returns to hurdling today in first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces, and may benefit from stepping slightly beyond two and a half miles in time. Capable of better on his day, but inconsistent.

A Saturday Rating of 54, poor form of 3P3-7P, and 22/1 odds signal minimal winning prospects in this competitive handicap.
Her second-place finish on her penultimate start showed what she can do on her day, though she ran well below that level at Wexford last time and can be unreliable. Handles today's going and is effective at this trip; yet to score but a threat if she reproduces her better form.

Long odds of 18/1, a low Saturday Rating of 64, and uninspiring form figures of 008-25 make Ballinaboola Gold an unlikely winner.
Briefly threatened at this course last time before fading when stepped up in trip; returning from a short break and may still need time to fully develop. Acts on heavy ground, but winless in her last five starts and faces strong opposition in a competitive field.

A Saturday Rating of 55, poor form showing 00006-, and 25/1 odds signal minimal winning chance here.
Down the field at Clonmel most recently, though that outing perhaps arrived before she was ready; still to translate that earlier promise into results and remains winless in recent starts. First-time cheekpieces today; best at 2m on today's going, but hard to trust at this level.

Liss Eile's poor Saturday Rating of 52, weak 70P-40 form, and 25/1 outsider odds signal minimal winning prospects.
Green and never travelling at Clonmel most recently, with no wins in his last four starts; has not shown enough over obstacles in terms of stamina or jumping, and needs significant improvement. Blinkers fitted today, but hard to see him troubling more experienced rivals from this form.

Poor form (008-0), a low Saturday Rating of 58, and 28/1 odds signal minimal market confidence in Stone Rulya.
Held at Listowel last time back in a handicap, and her form has been patchy with two recent pull-ups in her record; best suited to a sound surface and shorter trips than today. Has been inconsistent, and there are questions over how reliable her earlier form was at this level.

A Saturday Rating of 61, 16/1 odds, and poor recent form of 6PP-56 mark Mollys Dolly as a rank outsider.
Last seen pulled up in a maiden at Ballingarry, and switching back to hurdling as a well-exposed maiden after pointing, he faces a stiff task; two pull-ups in his last five starts are a concern. Wears a first-time tongue-tie and handles 3m, but needs substantial improvement to figure.

A Saturday Rating of 51, 25/1 odds, and a form string showing P020-P make Tennesse Boy an unconvincing contender carrying 10-0.
Back over hurdles and well beaten at Sligo last time, not quite matching his form over fences; does arrive on a fair mark based on his chase performances, and handles today's trip and going. First-time tongue-tie fitted; yet to score over hurdles in recent starts but is versatile across conditions.

Even weighting across form, market confidence and race-day volatility.
Illtakehimmyself (SR 93, 10/3) is the clear class-leader in this 0-100 hurdle and carries a weight of 11-12 that is entirely manageable given his SR advantage over rivals. His form string 995-22 shows back-to-back runner-up finishes most recently, indicating he is in consistent form and knocking on the door — a win looks overdue. At 10/3 he is the market leader, and that confidence appears justified given he is rated 4 points clear of the next-best Le Fanu (SR 89) while holding a significant SR gap over the rest of the field. Good ground at 2m6f120y suits a horse showing stamina-oriented form.
Each-way alternative: Sallap.
Main danger: Le Fanu — Le Fanu (SR 89, 4/1) arrives on the back of a recent win (form 3554-1), is only 4 points below the selection on SR, and carries a lighter weight of 11-4 — that 8lb weight advantage over Illtakehimmyself could be decisive at this trip on good ground.
