Former point-to-pointer FRONT DOOR FAMOUS has shown up well in two racecourse starts for Gavin Cromwell. He was beaten 10 lengths into third over C&D last month, but the form received a boost when the runner-up landed a maiden hurdle at Roscommon. He then rallied for second in Wexford after a collision with the rail and could go one better. Lady Maxios showed improvement on her second start over hurdles when fourth in Wexford and not much more would be needed to be a major player here. The 100-rated October Hill has put together three placed efforts in a row in maiden hurdles, albeit beaten a fair way. She is in the hunt for another cheque.
Front Door Famous is likely to prove popular given he backed up his placed run here behind a classy rival with a game effort last time. However he may struggle to give the weight away to the steadily progressive OCTOBER HILL. She also ran well behind a useful type last time and will appreciate this slight step up in trip. Ex flat performer Lightning Legs has looked green on both of her hurdles starts to date but could gain a place if building on those efforts.
Yard won this last year; outpaced and below form when unsuited by how the race developed, beaten 6l in a handicap hurdle here last time. Generally out of form but remains a threat.
Placed in six hurdle races from 20 NH starts. Finished 6l behind Wing Back when fifth of 10 at 8-1 on his latest outing in a hurdle race over this course and distance (good) earlier this month.

WING BACK landed a gamble over C&D just over a fortnight ago and has prospects of following up off 8lb higher. He jumped notably well and won by almost five lengths, so merits the hike. Crucially, he races in the same grade. The Truant arrives in form courtesy of a victory in a staying handicap on the Flat in Tramore and has plenty of experience over flights to call upon. A 10lb rise for winning in Wexford appeared to catch out Menas Miracle on her next visit to that track when she finished fourth. She is one of the more likely contenders here, though. Paddy Hanlon takes 7lb off Pahlavi's back, which gives him a chance.
WING BACK was a cosy winner here last time and is fancied to defy an 8lb rise in the weights. She has shaped as if she would get further in time so will appreciate the likely strong pace set by Silent Dawn. That rival went too fast last time but is a danger if allowed an easy time here. Pahlavi was unsuited by the way the race developed last time behind the selection and can get closer if getting a stiffer test.
Returned to form when third, beaten 5 1/2l, in a maiden hurdle over 2m2f at Cork last time; effective at 2m2f, just about stays 2m5f, good ground suits; inconsistent maiden over hurdles who goes well at Downpatrick.
A winner of a NH flat race at 2m 3f on yielding ground, but that win was over four years ago. Third of 14 behind William Tell beaten 6l at 7-1 on his latest outing in a maiden hurdle race at Cork over 2m 2f (good) earlier this month.

Plenty of these like to get on with things, so this could shape up well for a closer. MAVETHERAVE stayed on for third in Ballinrobe and was a fair fourth over C&D in June, so Stuart Crawford's charge has a shot of making the breakthrough in a tricky race. Eco Pete has been placed in two of his last three appearances, which makes him a contender. Minella Supreme enjoyed himself in winning a bumper at this track and could show up well on his first crack at hurdling. The Crawford-trained Southey won a point-to-point at Toomebridge in May and has enough hurdles form to advertise his chance, while Fool Me Once cannot be ruled out.
A strong maiden where the experienced FOOL ME ONCE gets the narrow verdict. He has some good course form to his name and shaped as if in need of this step back up in trip last time. Bumper winner Minella Supreme is feared most on his hurdles debut for the in form John McConnell yard while strong stayer Mavetherave looks the pick of the Crawford pair and can fight for a place.

Successful in two hurdle races at 2m and 2m 1f on good - yielding and soft - heavy ground, but last win was over three years ago. Well beaten at 12-1 when 11th of 13 on his latest outing in a chase at Kilbeggan over 2m 4f (good - yielding) last month.

WARRIORS WOOD comes with risks, but is undoubtedly on an appealing mark for this assignment. Eoin Staples claims 7lb, so he races off 103, and it is notable that the horse he beat by a neck in Ballinrobe won a valuable handicap hurdle off 113 - minus his rider's 5lb claim - in Killarney last week. Our Zebo has form figures of '212' in Downpatrick and just failed by a head over fences here last month, so is a solid option. Kilmore Coral took a mares' maiden hurdle in Tramore and represents a shrewd and in-form yard that had a double at the most recent Downpatrick fixture.
Top weight WARRIORS WOOD has a 50% strike rate in his short career and is fancied to improve on that here. The form of his latest win has been boosted this week so he looks well treated for his handicap debut. If his stamina holds up he can get the better of Eternal Angel who caught the eye under a negative ride last time. He's dangerously well treated on his UK form and will pose a big challenge if ridden more positively. The generally consistent but frustrating Ar Nos Na Gaoithe can complete the places.
Made too much use of and was well beaten in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Perth last time; has a lot to find.
He has won two hurdle races and a NH flat race from 2m to 2m 6f on good and good - yielding ground. Beaten 14l behind Moonbow at 11-1 when eighth of 11 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Perth over 2m 4f (good) earlier this month.

SPECULATRIX finished third on her chasing debut at Wexford but she was badly hampered before the penultimate fence, which ruined her chance. She was good enough to finish fourth in a Listed mares' novices' hurdle at Cheltenham in April. Kalanisi Flash hasn't been seen since winning a maiden hurdle at this racecourse in May 2024. The market should be informative as to his chance. Invictus World has two hurdle victories and a bumper triumph in the book, and is a chasing newcomer to note. Mount Sinai has switched to Shark Hanlon after winning a claiming hurdle at Sligo for Willie Mullins and she has her chance.
This looks between Mount Sinai and SPECULATRIX. The former returned to form down in grade with a cosy hurdles win last time so is respected on her stable debut back over fences but it is the latter who is preferred. She was the best of these over hurdles and looked in need of the run on her recent chase debut. She wasn't knocked about after being hampered by a faller and is fancied to improve significantly.

It is interesting that connections have opted to go chasing at this point with recent Wexford winner MY GOOD PAL. Making the breakthrough over hurdles on that occasion, Gavin Cromwell now switches the son of Mount Nelson to the larger obstacles. Still relatively lightly raced for the Gold Cup-winning trainer, the six-year-old has scope for further improvement. Point-to-point winner Doyen Magic made an immediate impact on her chasing debut when scoring at Kilbeggan last month. Despite a 6lb rise, the mare remains fairly handicapped on her best form. Sea Of Doubt, who has been placed here over flights, is another chasing debutant worthy of consideration.
DOYEN MAGIC left her hurdles form behind when an impressive winner from the front on her chase debut and is taken to defy a 6lb rise in the weights. She could get an easy time up front and if doing so can defeat top weight Person Of Interest who shaped with promise on his chase debut. He found the race coming too soon last time but has been freshened up since and can bounce back. Sea Of Doubt is well treated on her best hurdle form so isn't dismissed either on her chase debut.

Raced keenly and did too much too soon when down the field in a 2m1f Galway handicap hurdle last time; usually consistent and well treated on old juvenile form.

The Philip Rothwell-trained WOODSTREAM LAD catches the eye at the foot of the weights. A winner at this track over hurdles last month, the eight-year-old has been unable to exploit a comparatively lenient chase mark in recent outings but the return to this venue could spark the necessary improvement. Given that the Soldier Of Fortune gelding has only had four starts over fences, he should be open to progression. Lakefield Flyer has to be of obvious interest given that both of his previous career wins have come here. Portarlington is another lightly-raced chaser who should be competitive off his current rating.
METAMORPHEUS has proven frustrating in both codes over the last couple of years but he has dropped to an attractive mark on his juvenile hurdle form so could be up to making a winning chase debut. Top weight Macinamillion is another who has proven frustrating of late but he has proven himself competitive off this mark and should remain so. Woodstream Lad has been running well of late and remains well treated on his hurdle form so would also be a danger if allowed to dictate.
