Listowel Races Supporters Club Lartigue Hurdle (Handicap) In Memory Of John Molyneaux (Listed)

Beauvallon won two of his last five starts, and was a runner-up two starts back, mixing in some useful efforts; he has experience of today's trip and going, and after 56 days off there is fitness to prove, though the profile is strong enough to make him our pick here.

Kai Lung rates as the pick of the field on our figures and has experience of today's trip and conditions, so he arrives here with clear claims; yet winless in his last five starts, including an unplaced run just 11 days ago, he must prove he can convert when it matters.

Adrienne won last time out and has experience of both today's trip and going, but she carries a hefty 158 lb and ranks fifth of fourteen on our rating, making her a tough nut to crack rather than an automatic standout.

Hopes Are High arrives in good heart after a placed effort last time out, and he was a winner three starts back, giving him solid recent claims; the question is whether 158 lb proves too stiff a burden.

Ben Hur advertises strong claims on the back of a win two starts back and a runner-up effort three starts back, and he has experience over today's trip and conditions; the chief concern is a trainer who has drawn a blank in 24 attempts over the last 14 days.
