Listowel 13:57 - Price Boost

oddschecker Verdict

A dual bumper winner, AL ARRIVEE should prove hard to beat on her second start over hurdles. Making much of the running on her jumping debut at Galway in July, the Willie Mullins-trained mare weakened late on to finish third. Dropping back to the minimum trip should suit the lightly-raced daughter of Tunis and a prominent racing style tends to be favourable around this tight track. A Grade 2 bumper runner-up at Aintree in April, Lennon Grove rates a serious threat on her hurdling debut. The Besty Woman, who showed promise in a couple of maiden hurdles earlier in her career before reverting to bumper company to score at Wexford last time, also merits respect.

Prediction: 1st Al Arrivee, 2nd Lennon Grove, 3rd The Besty Woman
