Verdict

BALLYGLASS BEAUTY shaped well when a respectable fourth over a shorter trip at Galway earlier this month and may be able to resume winning ways back up in trip. Milanaway remains on a handy mark and could be dangerous if the market vibes are positive after a break, she'll appreciate any rainfall along with in-form Its Not Over Yet who won this race on soft ground last year.

Verdict
Improved to make it 2 wins from 3 when successful a 16-runner handicap C&D handicap last month, stamina looking his strong suit. Ran no sort of race when 8th of 12 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (11/2) 37 days ago and remains to be seen if he can get back on track returned to this C&D.

Solid form when second of 11 in maiden hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f) back in March before winning at Kilbeggan (first of 6 at 8/13) on return 38 days ago, setting slow pace and quickening clear under a hands-and-heels ride. Could improve in first-time cheekpieces on handicap debut.

Useful chaser at best. Strong form when fifth of 20 at Galway before finishing 8th of 18 in handicap hurdle there (12/1) 57 days ago, shaped better than beaten distance. Respected in first-time blinkers off a career-low hurdles mark.

Verdict
Won this race on soft ground last year but struggled afterwards. Back to form when second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (7/1) 17 days ago, travelled smoothly and briefly led before keeping on well. Makes appeal, especially if the ground is on the softer side.

Verdict
Not ideally placed when third at Sligo in August and shaped well to finish fourth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Galway (22.4f) 21 days ago, outpaced before plugging on. Interesting off his current mark and should appreciate return to this longer trip.

Runner-up at Sligo (finishing ahead of Ballyglass Beauty) in August before finishing sixth of 16 in a female riders' handicap hurdle at Navan (12/1) 9 days ago when running respectably. Could be more competitive stepping back up in trip.

Ran right up to her best off this mark when 2nd of 14 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan in June but again below form having been supported when 7th of 11 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (13/2) 31 days ago, not knocked about once held. Has eased back down the weights for all this is a deeper contest.

Verdict
Maiden came agonisingly close when second in mares handicap hurdle at Tipperary (soft) in November. Again below form when 10th of 15 in handicap hurdle in first-time cheekpieces (removed) at Thurles in March. On a handy mark for her return (can go well fresh) and would benefit from any rainfall.

Verdict
Won a chase at Wexford in July. Not in same form next 2 starts but better display when second of 12 in handicap chase at Listowel (23.8f) on Saturday. Will need to pull out a little more if he's to come out on top back over hurdles, though.
