Verdict

Given normal progress from her stable debut at Bellewstown, WHISKEY SERENADE has good prospects of a breakthrough win. Likely dangers are Pourquoi Pas and Granlahan, who have a similar profile in respect of recent form that includes placings and a failure to complete the course. The veteran Smackwater Jack retains plenty of ability. [Alan Sweetman]

Won a Punchestown handicap hurdle (2m4f, good) last October off 87; decent third on handicap chase debut at Punchestown in June; brought down in a hurdle race at Bellewstown early this month; holds a definite chance after a recent third placing at Sligo; cheekpieces may help.

Promoted to third at Limerick in May after the winner's disqualification; followed that with a fair third at Sligo; hampered and unseated at the sixth at Bellewstown; back in the money when third at Kilbeggan last time; one of the more appealing runners.

Veteran was a long way out of the handicap when achieving a Punchestown win last month, the third success of a 34-race career; solid display when third at Kilbeggan off his revised mark; stays well.

Point winner for Colin Bowe; placed in a modest maiden hurdle for Gavin Cromwell last summer; shaped promisingly when second to a fellow outsider at Bellewstown on first run for this stable; could provide the solution.
