Sunday 11 October · IRE · Hurdle

2:12 Cork

Kendellen Construction Handicap Hurdle

2m2½f · Going: Good · 16 runners · €6,000

Verdict — our pick: Duke Otto

Duke Otto looks the one to side with at Cork, a progressive sort whose fitness edge and more solid book of form give him the advantage over Centreofattention, who is only two pounds better on our ratings at 104 against his 102. The gap between them is slim, so the nod comes down to Duke Otto's sounder profile and the way he arrives in better shape. Centreofattention is the chief danger as the top-rated runner, while Teagarden Jazz (96) and Phoenix Cowboy (94) sit a little further back but can't be ignored in a field of 16 on good ground over 18 furlongs. Duke Otto is the selection.

1. Centreofattention(0)Form: 0-8P23

J: Harry Cobden · T: E Bolger · 7yo · 12st 0lb · OR 99 · trainer 50% (14d)

By Choeur Du Nord out of Martika (Martillo) · Owner: John P Mcmanus

11/1Bet365

Third last time out and a second two starts back show Centreofattention is in solid form, and he has run on today's going before, while our rating of 104 ranks him top of the 16. The risk is a 64-day layoff, with 168 lb to carry.

2. Boola Times(0)Form: 7P-351

J: Darragh O'Keeffe · T: David Kenneth Budds · 5yo · 11st 12lb · OR 97 · trainer 0% (14d)

By Awtaad out of Miss Topsy Turvy (Mr Greeley) · Owner: Alan Gray David Keohane

10/3Bet365

Boola Times won last time out and has a third three starts back in his recent form, though a fifth two runs ago and a pulled up before that show some inconsistency. He has run on today's going, but 44 days off and 166 lb are hurdles, and our rating of 90 has him eighth of 16.

3. Duke Otto(0)Form: P40-P0

J: Conor Smithers(7) · T: Patrick J Flynn · 8yo · 11st 12lb · OR 97 · trainer 0% (14d)

By Sir Prancealot out of Dubai Flower (Manduro) · Owner: Duke Of Saxony Syndicate

28/1Bet365

Fit again after just nine days, Duke Otto has run over today's trip and on this going, and his only top-four finish in recent starts was a fourth four runs back. Our rating of 102 puts him second of 16, and that backs a pick who is yet to win off 166 lb.

4. Let Him B(0)Form: 2-0092

J: Philip Byrnes · T: C Byrnes · 6yo · 11st 12lb · OR 97 · trainer 11% (14d)

By Casamento out of Mary B (Vinnie Roe) · Owner: C Byrnes

Runner-up last time out and just 13 days ago, so he arrives fit, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Yet to win in his last five starts, though, and carrying 166 lb off 97 looks a stiff ask, with our rating of 94 leaving him fifth of 16.

5. Our Girl Ellie(0)Form: 636-00

J: J J Slevin · T: S Ryan · 6yo · 11st 6lb · OR 91 · trainer 0% (14d)

By Doyen out of Our Girl Lucy (Flemensfirth) · Owner: David G Osullivan

Unplaced in her last two, though she was third four starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going before. Back quickly after 13 days and carrying 160 lb, she looks a midfield type, with our rating of 91 ranking her sixth of 16.

6. Synchronize(0)Form: 900-00

J: John Shinnick · T: J Morrison · 5yo · 11st 5lb · OR 90 · trainer 0% (14d)

By Frankel out of Qaws (Dubawi) · Owner: J Morrison

Synchronize is winless in his last five, unplaced in each of his last four and a ninth five starts back, so form is the concern after 34 days off. He has run on today's going and our rating of 91 sits a point above his official 90, but 159 lb is a hefty burden.

7. Phoenix Cowboy(0)Form: /360-8

J: Mike O'Connor · T: M Winters · 9yo · 11st 4lb · OR 89 · trainer 0% (14d)

By Gleneagles out of Unbelievable (Fastnet Rock) · Owner: Paul M Mullins

14/1Bet365

Phoenix Cowboy has run over today's trip and on this going, and our rating of 94 ranks him fourth of 16, while he's rated 89 officially, making him a live threat after 34 days off. The main risk is form that has tailed off, with an eighth last time out and a third four starts back his best recent finish.

8. Teagarden Jazz(0)Form: P-0367

J: Eoghan Finegan(5) · T: Charlie Keegan · 7yo · 11st 3lb · OR 88 · trainer 0% (14d)

By Golden Horn out of Zamoura (Azamour) · Owner: He Said She Said Syndicate

Quickly turned out just six days after a seventh, Teagarden Jazz has a third three starts back and has run on today's going, while our rating of 96 ranks her third of 16; the risk is a winless recent run and 157 lb on her back.

9. Boomerang Breeze(0)Form: 0970

J: Mr D Doyle(5) · T: Timothy Doyle · 8yo · 11st 2lb · OR 87 · trainer 10% (14d)

By Alkaadhem out of Morning Breeze (Bigstone) · Owner: Mrs Claire Doyle

Boomerang Breeze is winless in his last four, finishing seventh and ninth in two of those and unplaced on the others, so he is hard to fancy under 156 lb off an official mark of 87. Back out after just ten days, he has run on today's going before, but our figures rank him 14th of 16.

10. Good Bye Milan(0)Form: 19/30-

J: Danny Mullins · T: Gillian Scott · 9yo · 10st 11lb · OR 82 · trainer 17% (14d)

By Milan out of Knocknabrogue (Afzal) · Owner: Mrs M J Neville

Good Bye Milan won four starts back and was a third two starts back, but she was unplaced last time and returns after 464 days off, so fitness is the question. She has run over today's trip and going and our rating of 88 sits ninth of 16, while 151 lb is a stiff burden.

11. Ben Lomond(0)Form: U3380-

J: Aidan Kelly · T: Gerard Kyne · 6yo · 10st 9lb · OR 80 · trainer 0% (14d)

By Gleneagles out of Coquette Rouge (Croco Rouge) · Owner: Thomas Kieran O'Toole

Back out just three days after an unplaced run, Ben Lomond has been winless in his last five, though a third three starts back and another third four starts back show some ability, and he has run on today's going; 149 lb and a quick turnaround hold him back.

12. C'Mere Girleen(0)Form: 07-8

J: Phillip Enright · T: Alexander Ott · 6yo · 10st 9lb · OR 80 · trainer 0% (14d)

By Rosier out of Simple Milan (Milan) · Owner: One In The Barrell Syndicate

Lightly raced and still unexposed, C'Mere Girleen is yet to win in her last three starts, finishing eighth last time out and seventh the run before. She's back quickly after ten days off and carries 149 lb, so there could be more to come.

13. Gortmore Lady(0)Form: 937542

J: Eoin Walsh · T: Ciaran Murphy · 6yo · 10st 8lb · OR 79 · trainer 11% (14d)

By Elusive Pimpernel out of Maughami (Manduro) · Owner: Zoom Buddies Syndicate

Winless in her last six, Gortmore Lady is hard to fancy, though a second last time out, 17 days ago, and previous experience of today's trip and going help, while 148 lb is a stiff burden and our figures rank her 12th of 16.

14. Stily(0)Form: 2-P666

J: Cian Quirke · T: Michael J McDonagh · 6yo · 10st 7lb · OR 78 · trainer 25% (14d)

By Clovis Du Berlais out of Kauto Etoilee (Saint Cyrien) · Owner: Michael J Mcdonagh

Stily is winless in his last five, with three sixths on the bounce and a pulled up four starts back, so he is hard to fancy; a second five starts back and experience of today's trip and going are the positives, along with a quick 13-day turnaround, though 147 lb is a hefty burden.

15. John Dixen(0)Form: 0-6032

J: Shane O'Callaghan(3) · T: P J Rothwell · 4yo · 10st 3lb · OR 75 · trainer 3% (14d)

By Highland Reel out of Open Book (Mark Of Esteem) · Owner: T Moran

Winless in his last five, though John Dixen was second last time out and third two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Still, 143 lb, a cold yard (1/32 in the last 14 days) and our 71 rating, 15th of 16, make him hard to fancy.

16. Finnicky Filly(0)Form: 565050

J: Michael Kenneally(5) · T: John Patrick Ryan · 8yo · 10st 1lb · OR 72 · trainer 17% (14d)

By Sageburg out of Mexican Sky (Yeats) · Owner: John Patrick Ryan

18/1Bet365

Finnicky Filly is winless in her last six, with a fifth two starts back her best recent effort and nothing better than that in the picture, which makes her hard to fancy. She has run over today's trip and going and is back quickly after ten days, but 141 lb is a hefty burden.
