Selected odds by:

Archie Meade^b1,t¹⁸

Age: 12| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr R James⁽⁷⁾| T: D Howard| OR: 121

20/1

Record over fences isn't the most inspiring and has been struggling over hurdles of late, though would be on a decent mark if it at his best.

Form: 132-P00

Clarcam^p,t¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 153

6/5

Has been running in some excruciatingly tough big-field handicaps of late, this should prove a welcome relief for what is essentially a smart performer.

Form: 252052

Upazo¹⁰⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Ruby Walsh| T: W P Mullins| OR: 132

6/1

Has plenty of ability but cannot be relied on to show it regularly, pulled up when last seen and rating suggests even a career-best effort might not get him home in front.

Form: 3F123-P

Val De Ferbet^t³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: S G McDermott| T: A McNamara| OR: 151

5/4

Game scorer over hurdles at Limerick's Christmas festival, has a decent record over these obstacles too but might just find Clarcam too good.

Form: 22-2442

Forecasts

Clarcam (6/5), Val De Ferbet (5/4), Upazo (6/1), Archie Meade (20/1)

CLARCAM is the classiest of these on paper and he'll surely relish this small-field event where conditions are in his favour having run with credit in some hot handicaps last month. Val De Ferbet has enough ability to ensure the selection won't get away with a below-par effort if he is going to prevail. Upazo has talent but often forgets to bring it to the racecourse while Archie Meade hasn't put his best foot forward in quite a while. 1. Clarcam 2. Val De Ferbet 3. Upazo
