In The Minus (IRE)
Limited Flat rating (59) but won a Limerick handicap over 7f (good) in the summer. Showed place claims when third in a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle (soft), but was subsequently ineffective at Sedgefield.
Whats New (IRE)
Rated 66 on the Flat after a 1m4f Roscommon handicap win (soft). Hurdling attempts have been eventful, including falling at Killarney and running out at Gowran. He finished second at Listowel but tended to jump left. He is considered, but needs significant improvement in his jumping.
Spotlight Verdict
The suggestion is KIBRIS (nap), who showed enough on his novicey hurdling debut at Cork to suggest he’ll be hard to beat given that experience. Crooked Path has plenty of experience and looks a danger, along with Whats New and In The Minus.

In The Minus
Showed ability to handle soft ground over hurdles (3rd at Ballinrobe).
Flat rating (59) suggests limited ability; subsequent run at Sedgefield was poor. Primarily viewed as a place contender.
Whats New
Won a handicap on soft ground on the Flat (rated 66).
Repeated issues with jumping (fell, ran out, jumped left); must jump better to contend.

Form & Comments
L Evangeliste (FR)
Won a point-to-point and a Limerick bumper in March (yielding). Struggled at Punchestown afterwards. On his recent hurdling debut, he finished a good second in a Listowel auction maiden (good-to-yielding). He is rated a major player.
Mullaghgloss (IRE)
Nicely improved on his third bumper outing to win at this course 18 days ago (yielding), asserting in the closing stages by maintaining an inside route. He is quickly switched to hurdles and is expected to go well.
Spotlight Verdict
Despite a long absence, FATAL FLAW could take plenty of beating on his return to action, having smart form in bumpers and a good second on hurdling debut when last seen. Recent bumper winner here Mullaghgloss could emerge the main danger, along with Listowel second L’Evangeliste.

L Evangeliste
Proven winner in both point-to-point and bumper spheres; encouraging hurdling debut.
Struggled in a previous outing after a bumper win.
Mullaghgloss
Recent course bumper winner on yielding ground; switched to hurdles quickly, suggesting high regard.
Lack of experience over hurdles, making immediate debut in this sphere.

Shuttle Diplomacy (FR)
Dual-bumper winner (including listed) and finished a superb third in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham in March. His last run was considered “too bad to be true”. He remains a horse with considerable potential now tackling hurdles.
Eachtotheirown (IRE)
Was runner-up in soft ground bumpers at Navan and Fairyhouse earlier this year. In the latter race, he was beaten by Willie Mullins’ Kaiser Ball. He makes his hurdling debut and could go well if fit after his absence.
Spotlight Verdict
The Champion Bumper third SHUTTLE DIPLOMACY was bitterly disappointing when last seen but he is better than that and he could be hard to beat if at his best here. King’s Bucks looks the biggest danger.
Fate of Favourites: The fate of favourites is listed as 11221131.
Trainer Records (w-pl-r): Gavin Cromwell (1-2-7), Henry De Bromhead (1-0-1), Thomas Cooper (1-0-1).

High-class bumper form (Champion Bumper third). Retains considerable potential over hurdles.
Last run was extremely poor.

Showed useful soft ground bumper form, beaten only by a smart rival.
Hurdling debut; fitness must be confirmed after a 245-day layoff.

Waterford Whispers (IRE)
A 135-rated hurdler with a course win. Last seen finishing a staying on fourth in a 2m2f Listowel novice chase (hampered). His first season chasing was limited, including a tame drop out in a Grade 1 at Limerick. He is expected to improve for his recent run and is a major player.
Prends Garde A Toi (FR)
Decent placed form in bumpers and won a Downpatrick maiden hurdle (2m6f, good to yielding). Ran credibly in a 2m4f Fairyhouse handicap (off 125) in February before being absent (245 days). He could potentially make a better chaser.
Spotlight Verdict
Entitled to look a bit rusty on his first run for a while at Listowel, WATERFORD WHISPERS is expected to come on for that and can account for recent C&D second Will The Wise. Prends Garde A Toi and Pure Steel look the most interesting of the chasing debutants.
Seeking a hat-trick (three hurdle wins). Won a 2m4f Listowel handicap last month and followed up on the Flat at Thurles.
Sportinthepark (IRE)
2m4f maiden hurdle winner. Easily won a beginners’ chase at this meeting last year. Absent since being well held in a Grade 2 novice at Punchestown. Is potentially interesting back hurdling off a 15lb lower mark.
Spotlight Verdict
Plenty with chances, perhaps MAKE GOOD can transfer his good recent Flat form to hurdles here, having been a Grade 2 Cheltenham winner in earlier days. Hgranca De Thaix was a beaten favourite in this race last year so warrants respect, along with the hat-trick seeking Grann’s Boy, recent C&D winner Paul Collins and the reappearing Sportinthepark.
Fate of Favourites: The fate of favourites is listed as 41214.
Trainer Records (w-pl-r): Barry Connell (0-1-2), Declan Queally (0-1-4), Paul Nolan (0-2-6).

Grann’s Boy
In strong recent form, winning hurdles and Flat races; contender status relies on him staying the distance.
Unproven over 2m6f.
Sportinthepark
Proven winner at this meeting (over fences); returns to hurdles on a significantly lower mark (15lb lower).
Has been absent for almost a year since a disappointing Grade 2 run.

Form & Comments
County Champs (IRE)
A maiden who is consistently knocking on the door, finishing runner-up in two of his last three starts. Latest defeat was by 1.75l at Tipperary (23.5f, gd-yld). He is nudged up 1lb but has a good chance unless the ground is too soft.
Gerrys Wish (IRE)
Ran well recently on two of his last three starts, notably beaten only a neck over 3m at Perth (good).
Spotlight Verdict
Brian McMahon runs three and County Champs looks the most obvious one for him but THE EGGLER shaped like this trip would suit here on his penultimate start so a chance is taken on him bouncing back from a poor run at Tipperary. A drying track would boost the chances of Gerrys Wish.
Fate of Favourites: The fate of favourites is listed as 15321.
Trainer Records (w-pl-r): P J Rothwell (1-0-2), Patrick G Kelly (1-0-1), Brian M McMahon (0-1-5), David Harry Kelly (0-1-1), Edward Cawley (0-1-2), Mrs Grainne M O’Connor (0-1-2).

Strengths
Weaknesses/Suitability Concerns
County Champs
Highly consistent recent form over similar distances on good/yielding ground.
Needs conditions not to be too soft; still seeking a breakthrough win.
Gerrys Wish
Showed 3m stamina when narrowly beaten at Perth recently.
Poor record on softer than good ground, making suitability for yielding/soft ground questionable.

Burning Ability (IRE)
Finished fifth in a maiden hurdle at Listowel recently despite being a 40-1 outsider. Pedigree suggests bumper winners in the family, offering potential in this sphere.
Premier Rogue (IRE)
Was midfield on debut at Navan, but improved to finish third (beaten 3.25l) at Punchestown 10 days ago (gd-yld). Represents a yard with a strong record in this race (winners in 2019 and last year) and has an eye-catching rider booking.
Spotlight Verdict
Noel Meade has a good record in this race and PREMIER ROGUE is taken to confirm Punchestown form with Shabra Diya and get his head in front with Harry Swan up for the first time. Zeus Power and Jet Renegade should both be thereabouts again following their C&D run.
