3:55 Listowel: M.J. Carroll ARRO Handicap Hurdle

Tullyhill Mr S J Butler(7) · Mary Ellen Doyle

Rated top of 16 by our assessment, Tullyhill's second three starts back shows he retains the ability to mix it at a high level, and his experience on today's going is another plus; however, he returns after 255 days off the track and has been winless in recent starts, which makes him hard to trust on comeback.

Stede Bonnet Kevin Healy(7) · Gordon Elliott

Winless in his last five starts, Stede Bonnet nonetheless shows consistent placing ability — third two starts back and second three starts back — though that unplaced effort last time and 56 days off the track are questions to answer; he has run over today's trip and going, and 153 lb is a stern test.

Londonofficecallin Mark Walsh · Gavin Cromwell

Londonofficecallin won last time out and has run over today's trip and going, but he shoulders 152 lb and his trainer has drawn a blank in 40 runners over the past fortnight, making those positives harder to lean on.

Sageborough Sean Flanagan · Paul Nolan

Sageborough landed a win two starts back and has experience of today's going, arriving here 58 days fresh and carrying 152 lb off a mark of 126 with our rating suggesting he holds strong claims — the concern is that pull-up last time out demands explanation.

Feud Darragh O'Keeffe · G. O'Leary

Feud brings distance and going experience to a competitive field and our rating of 133 suggests he holds leading claims under 151 lb, yet a winless recent run of five — including a fall — makes him something of a trust issue.

Ifiwerearichman Alan O'Sullivan(5) · Paul Nolan

Ifiwerearichman shaped with promise when third three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going, but he arrives fresh after 56 days off and must bounce back from disappointing efforts in his last two outings — yet to win in recent starts, a rating of 137 makes him our pick of the field.

Matt Connor Jordan Gainford · J P Dempsey

Dual winner in his last five starts, with a victory three starts back keeping him in the mix, though his latest two runs have been below par; has run over today's trip and going, but 56 days off and a hefty 150 lb burden leave questions to answer.

Livio Paul Townend · W. P. Mullins

Ranked well down the field on our figures and carrying 148 lb is a stiff ask, yet Livio does arrive a winner last time out and has experience of today's distance and going, giving him at least some familiar conditions to work with.

Avalo Sam Ewing · Peter Fahey

Avalo has won in his last five starts but two unplaced efforts in between undermine confidence, and ranked 12 of 16 on our figures he faces a stiff task under 147 lb, though he does arrive with distance and going experience in his favour.

Sequoiaspirit Liam Quinlan · Ray Hackett

Sequoiaspirit landed a win two starts back but has since flopped and returns unplaced last time out, giving his form a stop-start look; he has run over today's trip and going, and 147 lb is no gimme, though a rating of 125 keeps him in contention among 16 runners.

Watch The Weather Danny Gilligan · R P Cody

Consistent without quite threading the needle, Watch The Weather has finished third in three of his last four completed starts yet remains yet to win in his last six, and while he has run over today's trip and going, 147 lb is a stern ask for a gelding whose finishing effort repeatedly flatters to deceive.

Elusive Ogie Daniel King · Eoin Christopher McCarthy

Elusive Ogie is ranked a lowly 13th of 16 on our figures and the inconsistency in his recent starts — including a fall and an unplaced run — makes him hard to fancy, though he did score last time out and has run over today's distance and going before.

Luck Between Us Niall Moore(5) · Donncha Duggan

Ranked bottom of the field on our figures, Luck Between Us is hard to fancy against this company, though he arrives with two wins in his last five starts, including a victory last time out, and has experience of both today's trip and going.

Give Him A Chance Shane O'Callaghan(3) · P J Rothwell

Slipped up three starts back and well beaten last time out, Give Him A Chance does at least bring a win four starts back and experience over today's trip and going; 128 days off is a significant query at 142 lb.

Serienmond Philip Donovan · Gary McGill

Serienmond showed a glimpse of form with a third last time out after struggling in his two previous starts, and he has experience of today's trip and conditions in his favour, but carrying 141 lb and yet to win in his last five starts makes this a tough ask.

Young Churchill Michael Kenneally(5) · Richard John O'Brien

Only sixth last time out after a win two starts back, Young Churchill ranks 14th of 16 on our figures and a 140 lb burden makes reversal tough to fancy, though he has run over today's going before.
