Verdict

Takeachancejimmy won this last year and has spent most of this season racing over further, scoring over an extended 1m1f at Ballinrobe. Jamie Powell is a strong booking and he's not out of this. PRETTY REBEL has an excellent course record having won here twice over shorter. She was returning from a break when runner-up at Musselburgh and Dean Curran, who brought her with a late run to score over 7f here in May, is on board again. Loingseoir rarely runs over a trip this short but led a furlong out when tackling 1m1f at Tipperary and was only headed close home. Winning hurdler Very Excellent could find this on the short side but the very lightly-raced Athlumney Hall goes well fresh as he demonstrated on his only start at Leopardstown last year.
