Verdict

ONEFORTHEDITCH made the frame in her last 2 starts over fences and her prominent style of racing should be suited to this track. She gets the nod. Dunany Point and Dearg Mor are also of interest.

4	Consistent mare who got back to winning ways at Limerick in December and ran creditably in defeat thereafter, including when sixth of 24 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown when last seen in April. Returns to chasing off much lower mark and is one for the shortlist. 1st Pick 4 Onefortheditch (Ire) Jockey: D. J. O'keeffe Trainer: Eamonn Francis Gallagher, Ireland J: D. J.

7	Just sole success from 21 starts but returned to form when good second of 15 in handicap chase over longer trip at Sligo 6 days ago. Remains feasibly treated and enters calculations. 2nd Pick 7 Dunany Point (Ire) Jockey: Jordan Colin Gainford Trainer: Conor David Maxwell, Ireland J: Jordan Colin Gainford T: Conor David Maxwell, Ireland	99	-	-	-	23%

5	Improved form over hurdles when making the frame in handicaps at around 3m on first 2 outings this season. Strong in the betting but stumbled soon after the start when below-par fourth of 16 at Kilbeggan in July. Interesting to see if the support returns as he goes chasing. 3rd Pick 5 Dearg Mor (Ire) Jockey: S. D. Torrens Trainer: Aidan Anthony Howard, Ireland J: S. D.
