Selected odds by:
Likely to make his play from the front and will hope to get a softish lead here, may be capable of seeing the job out if left alone.
Was the pick of these over hurdles and given too much to do with front-running winner on chase bow earlier this month, likely wiser now and the one to beat.
Decent sort over hurdles and has posted solid form on two starts over fences so far since joining current trainer, type to do better at this game.
Trainer in fine form but this lightly raced nine-year-old has failed to complete in three of five starts over fences, including last month at Down Royal, leaving him with plenty to ponder.
Didn't land a blow on chase bow over two-miles at Fairyhouse recently, goes up in trip here.
Useful over hurdles but has struggled in three outings over these obstacles and others clearly ahead of him right now.
Modest type over hurdles in comparison to some of these, make chase debut here and may do well in time, best watched for now however.
Mare made an uninspiring start to chase career on first outing for this trainer at Naas earlier this month, goes up in trip now.
Mid-division when making chase bow at Limerick late last month and not easy to build a case for here.
Forecasts
Arbre De Vie (10/11), Acapella Bourgeois (2/1), Burgas (6/1), Moonshine Lad (7/1), Dont Kick Nor Bite (20/1), Steamboat Bill (28/1), Twiss's Hill (66/1), Dorkas (66/1), Robin De Roost (66/1)
Acapella Bourgeois is likely to set the pace in this once more. He wasn't given an easy time of it in front latest and eventually succumbed under pressure. ARBRE DE VIE was undone by a front runner first time out over fences and so he'll surely keep closer tabs this time and can get off the mark for the champion trainer as a result. Few of the remainder can lay solid claims and it is Burgas that can grab the minor money on his third start for this yard.
1. Arbre De Vie
