Westport Cove

Jockey: P Townend Trainer: W P Mullins Age/Wt: 7/11-1 F: 4224-1 OR: 140

85/40

Comment: Decent hurdler is a higher-rated chaser despite just one win from six attempts, unchallenged in beating Itsalladream at Ballinrobe in May (good) on latest; posted higher RPR's in defeat earlier under similar forcing tactics, notably fourth in valuable 2m1f Plumpton handicap; Townend's pick but possibly vulnerable at this level.

5/1

Comment: Talented hurdler and 3-3 chasing with runaway wins in small-runner contests, at Down Royal, Killarney and last month in 3-runner 2m6f Roscommon novice (odds-on favourite well below best); much different calibre of opposition here and conceding weight all-round looks a big ask.

5/1

Comment: Won 2m1f Listed novice hurdle at this meeting last year (good) and has taken well to chasing this summer, notably latest two in Uttoxeter handicaps (good), making all over 2m and rallied well after bad blunder three out when second over 2m4f; should go well off this light weight, providing she avoids serious error.

Comment: Rated 140 over hurdles and off the mark at fourth attempt chasing when making all in 2m5f Killarney mares beginners in May (yielding); following month unseated early when favourite in Roscommon novice won by Itsalladream; probably needs to improve to play a major role.

Comment: Won three hurdle races in a row in Britain last summer on good ground; back from winter break for winning chasing debut in 2m4f Wexford beginners early this month, fresh but jumping well to beat two race-fit market principals on favoured good ground; looks like making a better chaser than hurdler and not one to dismiss despite jump in class.

Comment: Both wins over shorter, including on seasonal return at the Currgah (7f) in May; contested premier handicaps afterwards when safely held and didn't feature here on Tuesday (not clear run); remains unproven over this far.

Comment: Juvenile career ended on a high when fourth in Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf at Del Mar (1m, firm); has not matched that form but has continued to run well in defeat; a four-time runner-up (three Group 3s and a Listed); high draw is a concern, but otherwise has plenty going for her.

Comment: Made an encouraging debut when fifth of 15 at Roscommon in May, beaten 2 1/4l after being forced wide; may not have been suited by soft ground when sixth of 17 in a stronger contest at Leopardstown; Roscommon third a month ago gives him an edge over Elora Prince.

Comment: Much improved to win a Grade 3 handicap hurdle at Cheltenham in April and duly followed that with her best run yet on the Flat when only outstayed late over 2m at Chester; not as effective on soft ground in similar contest fortnight later; back in trip here but progressive and could go well.
