URGENT WHISPER has ordinary Flat form but showed promise on her hurdles debut, which tips the scales in her favour. The form of that third-placing here is nothing special, but she met significant trouble in-running from the second-last and was an unlucky loser. Henry de Bromhead's juvenile should progress and seems to stay quite well. Cumberland River was well held in a useful Curragh maiden last October and although he lacks a recent run, he is likely to have been kept for hurdling and will be well schooled. Georg Zhukov was well held on his NH debut but has more to offer.
Georg Zhukov sets the standard on hurdling form after his midfield effort on debut where he made numerous errors. He should improve for that experience as should Urgent Whisper who was a slightly unlucky loser first time out after having her run blocked. That pair hold strong claims but may be vulnerable to a talented newcomer such as WONDERFULWONDERFUL. The selection has proven a touch frustrating on the flat but she has shown a consistent level of form placing on 4 of her last 5 outings. She has shaped as if this trip would be within her capabilities and is fancied to make a winning debut.

Winner of five hurdle races from 2m to 2m 4f on ground varying from good to good - yielding. Third of 4 behind Carrigeen Kampala beaten 14l at 13-8 on his latest NH outing in a hurdle race at Stratford over 2m (good) in June.

COME ON THE LADS won at the Galway Festival recently and, being just a five-year-old, can progress some more. A three-time Flat winner, he has improved over hurdles and having won a similar race under today's jockey at Ballybrit, should again compete, despite being 5lb higher. Bowensonfire is badly treated with the selection on their meeting at Punchestown back in January, but has shown useful recent handicap form and won at Bellewstown last month. Red Glory finished just behind Bowensonfire at Wexford recently, while the quirky Miss Fourie won last year's renewal of this race so must be respected.
PRAIRIE DANCER has the potential for a very easy lead here and will be tough to peg back if doing so. She failed to stay 3m last time but was a flat winner previously and is well treated on her penultimate effort in this discipline. Consistent dual purpose performer Zoffman remains relatively unexposed in this sphere so he is feared most ahead of Spy. That rival is on a good mark on his recent novice form but has had plenty of chances in this sphere he has wasted already.
The yard has won 2 of the last 10 runnings of this race. Ran to form when up in grade under a big weight, finishing a 2l third in a novice hurdle over 2m5f at Galway on latest start. Steadily progressive.
Successful in two hurdle races at 2m 5f and 2m 6f on good ground. Third of 9 behind Strong Link beaten 1 3/4l at 14-1 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Galway over 2m 5f (good) last month.

KAMIKAZ DU PLESSIS has been running consistently well this summer and should be suited by stepping up in distance. Beaten in two point-to-points, his recent form has been useful and after showing a tendency to hang left in the closing stages at both Downpatrick and Galway recently, he will be better suited by racing left-handed and is Jack Kennedy's pick over stablemate Emily Love. Keep Up has over three lengths to find with the selection on Ballybrit form and with Paul Townend riding now, she is effectively worse off at the weights. Emily Love is very dependable and steps up in distance having been placed at Listed level at Galway.
Kamikaz Du Plessis finished ahead of KEEP UP at Galway last time but the latter got racing far too early that day so is fancied to reverse form if ridden slightly more conservatively. The pair look to have it between them on form though the experienced Emily Love is also respected. She arguably travelled best at Listed level last time but the jockey bookings suggest she is the stable second string here.
Ran to form when stepped up in trip, just outbattled late by a strong stayer and beaten 1 1/2l in a handicap chase at Galway last time. Steadily progressive, with top jockey back on board; could figure.
Successful in two hurdle races at 2m 4f and 3m on yielding and yielding - soft ground. Beaten 1 1/2l by Turnpike Trip when second of 20 at 11-2 on his latest outing in a chase at Galway over 2m 6f (good) earlier this month.

A chance is taken with chasing debutant TIMMY TUESDAY, who is his trainer's apparent second-string. A quirky, strong stayer, his latest three runs were disappointing but his last race over a left-handed circuit saw him finish a good second in an Aintree handicap hurdle back in April. Jack Kennedy picks What's Up Darling, whose latest win came in a Grade 3 novice hurdle over two miles in November 2023. He has plenty of chase experience and while stepping up in distance seemed to suit at Galway recently, his form can be hit-and-miss. Antrim Coast finished second in the Galway Blazers earlier this month but is vulnerable to more capable types.
Though he appears the stable second string on jockey bookings TIMMY TUESDAY is fancied to make a winning chase debut here. He brings some of the strongest hurdle form into the race from last season and 3m on good ground will suit ideally. Stablemate What's Up Darling has proven frustrating over fences but he ran well in a hot contest at Galway last time so looks a big danger if his stamina holds up. Antrim Coast also holds strong claims as he's proven progressive in this sphere and was just out-battled in the Galway Blazers last time. That run did however bring his finishing efforts into question again and he has wasted some good opportunities already in this discipline.
Yard won this last year; travelled well but was given a weak ride, out-battled late by a strong stayer and beaten a short-head off 94 over 2m6f at Roscommon last time. On a good mark from chase form and consistent in that sphere.

A NOD TO GETAWAY has finished second in two previous course handicap chases and has good recent form. A dual hurdles winner and rated 14lb higher in that sphere, he is a six-race maiden over fences but has shown useful ability. He is suited by summer ground and stays well. Carlas Big Jim is rated 4lb higher over hurdles but although also somewhat unexposed over fences, would ideally prefer soft ground. Gaelic Des Chastys was an unlucky loser at Roscommon, with his rider subsequently suspended for dropping his hands. He holds obvious claims and is another contender with a lightly-raced chasing profile, but is 4lb higher and has won just once from 26 career starts.
WOODIE WANGO remains a maiden but he is well treated on his best form over hurdles and fences. Last time out he placed behind a pair of unexposed rivals and he is expected to come on again for the outing. His jockey booking suggests a big run is expected and he can defeat A Nod To Getaway who is well treated on his hurdles form if able to brush up on his jumping. Zolpharine went too fast over hurdles last time but brings in some good C&D form from earlier in the summer and will be a threat if back to that level.
Hampered by a faller, then improved when dropped in grade to win a beginners' chase over 2m4f at Wexford by a length last time; has a chance with more to come now handicapping.

PRIDE OF PLACE would prefer a longer distance but is progressive and likes summer ground. His completed handicap chase form reads well and although dropping in trip isn't ideal, he is just 1lb higher than when touched off at Kilbeggan recently and his rider again claims 5lb. Garde La Peche had excuses when disappointing behind the selection at Tipperary in July. She made a few mistakes when well beaten on a subsequent start, but her earlier form in April and May was more encouraging. Smallcraftwarning has been running consistently well, while Warm In Gorey is rated higher over hurdles but is a 12-race maiden in this sphere.
An open race where most of the field can be given a chance. The consistent Warm In Gorey looks the most solid option on favourable good ground as he's well treated on his hurdle form but it is bottom weight HEES DYNAMITE who appeals most. He was held on his sole chase start to date but was twice a winner over hurdles last season off higher marks than this. His good run came to an end last time but he was outstayed over 3m and can bounce back off this generous rating dropped in trip. Top weight Ashdale Flyer overcame trouble when a winner last time and also rates a danger now tackling handicaps off a lenient mark.
Travelled well and improved again back down in trip, scoring by a head off 125 over 2m at Punchestown in June. Below form when sixth, beaten 21l off 129 up in grade last time. Top jockey back on board and may contend.

WONLEG has plenty on his plate being 7lb higher than when winning under a 4lb claimer at Wexford last month, but he remains unexposed as a lightly-raced five-year-old. A Roscommon maiden hurdle winner last September, he is well suited to good ground and although he faces hardened handicappers here, he can continue to improve. The consistent Prince Of Air and Be Fierce finished third and fourth respectively in that recent Wexford race and have place claims. Aeros Luck was in contention when falling here last month and drops down in grade having contested a smart handicap at the Galway Festival subsequently.
Things haven't gone to plan for BE FIERCE since he won at the start of the year but he is dangerously well treated on that victory and his last run is worth marking up as he was short of room late. He is likely to get a strong pace to aim at here set by the likes of Jack Holiday who was unable to dominate over hurdles last time but was a C&D winner from the front last autumn. He looks the biggest danger from the frontrunners but top weight Aeros Luck is also respected. He was going well when departing here on his penultimate start and is forgiven his latest run on softer ground.
Made a promising bumper debut when 2 1/2l fourth in a 4yo bumper over 2m at Listowel on first start; returns from a long layoff and wears a tongue-tie for the first time; a potential threat.

PARNELL STREET has run two useful races in his career to date and performed well at the recent Galway Festival. A half-brother to four capable winners, he finished second in a useful Fairyhouse bumper in January and although reasonably well held at Ballybrit last month, that was another strong contest and today's race looks more manageable. Hopeful Hero slipped up on his latest run but had previously shown nice ability and finished fifth in a useful course bumper in July. Rebel Cry is out of a well-bred bumper winner so is worth a look.
PARNELL STREET has shown enough to win a bumper in both starts so far and will find this easier than his latest assignment. He is a strong selection here and can defeat Max Goodwin who was outpaced last time before finishing strongly suggesting this longer trip will suit. The experienced Hopeful Hero can complete the places.
