11st 3lb |
Looks more potent now over hurdles than on Flat, winning a maiden at Roscommon in September and beaten a head on handicap hurdle debut at Cork (again 2m on soft) 12 days ago; both were under claimer Eamonn Fitzgerald; better still looks on its way and he is one to note. |

2m4f winner on good ground at Bellewstown in July; bounced back from a fall with two placed efforts since and can give another good account. |

29th Nov 2023 Standard 2m 0f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Won a mares' maiden hurdle at Hereford last winter; not a bad effort in Grade 3 mares' handicap at Cheltenham in April; three moderate runs over hurdles in recent months; 100-rated hurdler; Flat credentials look weak; may improve with cheekpieces. |
10/1 |

Hereford winner last winter; not a bad effort in Grade 3 mares' handicap at Cheltenham in April; needs to step up on the form of two handicap runs since her return from a summer break. |

Course winner over 2m in 2021 but stays this trip; ran well back here over 2m on return after a long absence; tongue-tie on now and a chance with improvement highly likely. |

Winner at Sligo two seasons ago; beaten favourite at Galway seven weeks ago; perhaps that came too soon after a luckless second at Gowran a few days previously; also shaped quite well when second at Tramore in August; each-way chance, though 1-26 hurdles record is concerning. |

Both wins gained at Wexford, the most recent in 2019; was returning from two-year absence when never sighted at Gowran last month, entitled to come on for that but still a watching brief advised. |

Verdict
A case can be made for several but COSMIC ROCK, who ran well after two years off at Limerick and handles heavy ground, is the selection. [Mark Nunan]
