Age: 5|  Weight: 11-12| J: Rachael Blackmore(3)| T: P Nolan| OR:  116
6/1
One success from three runs when in the hands of Luca Cumani in 2015 and one from five when trained by Roger Varian last year. Always in front rank, but no impression on winner when 4½L 2nd in a maiden hurdle over 2m here latest.

Horse silk
Miss Eyecatcher44
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-5| J: B J Foley(7)| T: R J McGrath| OR:  116
3/1
Solid efforts to be placed in two outings before well beaten over 2m6f at Punchestown latest. Could be more effective at this trip.
3
Horse silk
Finnegan's Hollow21
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-4| J: B Hayes| T: G M Doyle| OR:  100
20/1
Two-time winning point-to-pointer who disappointed on all starts under rules till chasing home Crossed My Mind and Monotype over 2m here on latest outing. Further improvement would see him in the shake up.
4
Horse silk
Getaway Kid57
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-4| J: G N Fox| T: N Meade
8/1
Tailed off on all four starts and while he was a little better last time and the yard are worthy of respect, he will need to improve markedly if he's to get near the business end.
6
Horse silk
16/1
Placed in a bumper but only poor form over timber and well beaten in maiden hurdle at Leopardstown in December.
7
Horse silk
11/2
Three runs over timber to date. Best effort when fourth behind Justmemyselfandi at Leopardstown in January but that came on good ground and rain softened conditions have to be a worry again today.
Second in a novice hurdle at Wetherby when trained by Ian Williams in 2014. Not seen again till January when well beaten at Down Royal and made no show when well beaten latest.
9
Horse silk
100/1
Emphatically well-beaten on only two starts, very tough to fancy.
10
Horse silk
Blazes Peg82
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-11| J: A McCurtin(5)| T: M Winters| OR:  102
14/1
Point-to-point winner but yet to score under rules. Drop back in trip not sure to suit and may be better on faster ground.
11
Horse silk
Famous Day44
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-11| J: B Browne(7)| T: O McKiernan

Has produced a couple of good efforts, most recently when leading from halfway but finding little when headed to finish third to Nicat's Benefit at Clonmel in March.
13
Horse silk
4/1
Point-to-point winner in April 2016. Showed some promise when 2nd of 18 at Clonmel on hurdles debut and not disgraced when 4th at Thurles a month ago.

16:35 Wexford - 7 April 2017 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

The top three on the card appear to have the best claims here and I take MONOTYPE to come out best. He has tasted success on the Flat at Doncaster and Ffos Las and posted his best effort to date when going down by 4½L to Crossed My Mind here most recently. Finnegan's Hollow was 3½L back in third that day and should again run well but I think the pair will be split by Miss Eyecatcher, who may have found the trip too far last time after posting two good efforts over a shorter trip.
  1. Monotype
  2. Miss Eyecatcher
  3. Finnegan's Hollow
