4:30 Listowel: Kathleen Walsh Memorial Handicap Hurdle

Liberated Light Mr J L Gleeson · John E & Thomas Kiely

Liberated Light won on his most recent start and rates 98 on our figures, making him a clear second-ranked threat in an 18-runner field; the main risk is the gruelling 166 lb burden after just five days' rest.

Opposite Ends Philip Byrnes · C Byrnes

Opposite Ends showed he can win at this level when scoring two starts back, but that brought-down run three starts back clouds his form picture, and 159 days off the track is a concern heading into today carrying 165 lb over a trip and ground he has experience of.

Lecale's Diamond Keith Donoghue · Gavin Cromwell

Lecale's Diamond tops our ratings here, and his win three starts back shows he's capable on this distance and going; the concern is a trainer who has drawn a blank in 40 recent attempts, plus consecutive disappointing efforts since that victory.

Torque De Lune Darragh O'Keeffe · John Joseph Hanlon

Winless in her last six starts and ranked tenth of eighteen on our ratings, Torque De Lune at least has going experience to call on, though a heavy 162 lb burden and a recent run of unplaced efforts and jumping errors make her prospects hard to assess with confidence.

Ladiam Conor Smithers(7) · Norman Lee

Ladiam shaped with plenty of promise when second last time out, and she has experience over today's trip and going to call on; yet to score in recent starts, but our figures rate her notably above her official mark of 91, making her a compelling each-way proposition at this level.

Tropical Image Thomas O'Connor(7) · Eoin Christopher McCarthy

Placed third last time out and second three starts back, Tropical Image shows she can get competitive, though she remains winless in her last five starts and a hefty 161 lb is a stiff ask for a mare ranked eighth of eighteen here.

Oogum Boogum Michael Kenneally(5) · David Kenneth Budds

Oogum Boogum has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 94 gives him a squeak at value in a competitive field, but he's winless in his last six starts and three consecutive finishes out of the frame make it hard to fancy him strongly.

Scathach Donagh Meyler · Ross O'Sullivan

Winless in her last five starts, Scathach does at least bring going experience to the table and was third three starts back, though a subsequent 6th and unplaced effort since temper expectations, and 158 lb is a stiff weight to shoulder.

Rubi Tuesday Daniel King · Eoin Christopher McCarthy

Winless in her last five starts and off the track for 133 days, Rubi Tuesday faces a stiff ask under 157 lb, though she has experience of today's going and a rating of 91 suggests she holds a little more ability than her recent modest finishes imply.

Roll It Roisin Cian Quirke · David Harry Kelly

Winless in her last five starts and ranked 17 of 18 on our figures, Roll It Roisin faces a stiff ask here carrying 155 lb, though she has run over today's going before and returns on a manageable 23-day break.

Annie Button Danny Gilligan · Peter John Flood

Annie Button has won in her last five starts but that sole success is sandwiched between an unplaced effort most recently and a sixth immediately beforehand, and 122 days off the track does her few favours; she carries 154 lb and ranks well down on our figures.

Laligurash Sean Cleary-Farrell(7) · Michael C Griffin

Winless in his last five starts, Laligurash showed up well with a runner-up finish last time out and has experience of today's going in his favour, though carrying 153 lb and ranking 11th of 18 on ratings suggests he faces a stiff task here.

Silin Alainn Kevin Sexton · Gavin Cromwell

Winless in her last five starts and ranked 14th of 18 on our figures, Silin Alainn faces a stiff task here, with a trainer in the depths of a 0-from-40 run and a hefty 151 lb to shoulder; experience over today's trip and going offers some small comfort.

Doesthatmakesense Conor Clarke(7) · E Seymour

Unexposed and open to improvement, Doesthatmakesense has been lightly raced but has yet to win in her last four starts, pulling up two outings back; carrying 150 lb on a 33-day absence, there is still scope to find better.

Keep The Head Harry Sexton(7) · John Joseph Hanlon

Winless in her last five starts, with two pulled ups among them, Keep The Head is hard to recommend at her current level — ranked 16 of 18 on our figures — though she has run over today's going before and returns on a fresh 44-day break.

Windy Grey Kevin A Murphy(7) · Paul O'Flynn

Unexposed and open to improvement, Windy Grey has shown little in her last four starts — yet to score, and including a pull-up — but returns after 35 days carrying 147 lb and could have more to offer as her profile fills out.

Lake Okeechobee Alan O'Sullivan(5) · Eugene M O'Sullivan

Winless in her last five starts, Lake Okeechobee sits at the foot of our rankings for this race, and her recent form — sixth last time out and seventh two starts back — makes her hard to fancy; experience over today's going and a fourth three starts back offer thin crumbs of comfort.

Drumadeise Tom Kelly(7) · P Corkery

Winless in her last six starts and ranked last on our figures, Drumadeise faces a stiff task at 145 lb, and an unseating in recent form adds further concern; her experience on today's going is the one small crumb of comfort.

Tudorista Edward F Power

Winless in her last five starts, including a pull-up, Tudorista arrives 23 days fresh with going experience on her side, but a burden of 154 lb and a ranking of seventh of 18 make this a tough ask.

Katie's Casper Dermot A McLoughlin

Winless in her last six starts, Katie's Casper arrives here 19 days fresh, carrying 149 lb off an official mark of 79, and has run over today's trip and going before; a second four starts back offers some encouragement, though recent efforts have tailed off.

Barryroe Madam Terence O'Brien

Barryroe Madam arrives here 19 days fresh, has experience of today's trip and conditions, and a rating of 97 puts her well clear of her official mark — the main concern is a recent sequence that leaves her yet to win in her last five starts.
