Race Tip

SURF CLUB (5) appeared to improve for the switch to fences winning at Tramore on Monday. Earlier hurdling form also gives him chances. Consider. JACENRY (8) opened his account at Down Royal last month. Proved it was no fluke when second at the same track recently and only 2.2lb higher rates a big player. SOLLY ATTWELL (6) went close on handicap debut. Fared reasonably well at Naas since. Clearly on a workable mark. STOCKDALE (11) finished 21L behind the second mentioned two outings back. Closed the gap on that rival since. Each-way chance.

Was not beaten far when third two starts back before a disappointing 15th in a hurdle (2m4f) at Down Royal last time. Makes appeal on best form.

Seven-year-old gelding who is back from a break. Finished off last campaign when 14th in a hurdle (2m4f) at Fairyhouse. Looks safely held this tougher line-up fresh.

Back from a break of six months. Wound up last campaign with a seventh in a hurdle (3m1/4f) at Down Royal, beaten 11 lengths. Should be thereabouts.

Did a reasonable job when he finished third in a hurdle (2mf) at Limerick two runs back. Improved sharply to score by 2.25 lengths in a chase (2m6f) at Tramore at the latest outing. Tough to stop again.

Well beaten when seventh last time in a hurdle (2m3f) at Naas after a good second over 4123 at Fairyhouse two starts back. Better than latest. Can bounce back.

Started favourite last start following a win in a hurdle (2m4f) at Down Royal but found one better in a hurdle (2m4f) at Down Royal. Finds a nice assignment.

Has not appeared since she failed to finish the race in a chase (2m5 1/2f) at Tramore seven months ago. Must be given another chance.

Unplaced two starts ago in a bumper (2m3f) at Limerick then produced a better result last start when she wound up in seventh in a maiden hurdle (2m1/2f) at Tramore, beaten 9 lengths. Cannot be left out in this more suitable contest.

11

Is experiencing a win-drought of more than three years. Finished fourth, beaten 15 lengths, at her latest appearance in a hurdle (2m4f) at Down Royal. Rates highly in this field and is expected to be in the finish.

Couldn't find the top three in a in a hurdle (2m4f) at Down Royal then again missed out in a hurdle (2m6f) at Down Royal last time. Looking to others.

Yet to strike a blow in two runs this campaign, both on the flat. Returned with a 14th over 1m4f then finished 13 lengths adrift over 2mf at Dundalk All Weather 31 days ago. Big task ahead.

Has not raced since finishing eighth in a 2m4 1/2f chase at Down Royal three months ago. Not at this stage.
