Selected odds by:

Coolmeen Hill^t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: D N Russell| T: Miss Ellmarie Holden

9/4

Drops in trip having travelled nicely over 2m4f on hurdles bow at Fairyhouse recently before fading. That was a promising start and there should be more to come, while booking of Russell is another positive.

Form: 5F/317-

Jacobs Well⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: D Meyler⁽³⁾| T: A McNamara

10/1

Wasn't given a hard time of it on stable/hurdles bow at Clonmel 42 days ago, should have learned from that outing and could be capable of taking closer order now.

Form: 6-

Timi Roli¹⁰³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Ruby Walsh| T: W P Mullins

4/7

Promising debut at Cork in December when third of 24 over 2m, though bit disappointing to see him fill the same berth at Thurles in January as an odds-on favourite. Champion trainer brings him back now and no surprise if he makes it third time lucky.

Form: 33-

All's Quiet^t²⁰⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: D E Splaine| T: A McGuinness

50/1

One of three bumpers outings offered some promise at Tramore in October, has plenty to find now jumping hurdles after six months off.

Form: P6745-5

Banquet Hill^t1⁵⁷²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: D E Mullins| T: J P Ryan

66/1

Tame effort in hurdles bow at Tramore in October 2015, lines-up here on the back of 572-day absence and will surely benefit from the run.

Form: 07/4

Calipso Collonges²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: P T Enright| T: T Cooper

50/1

French import faded tamely on Irish debut in 2m maiden hurdle at Tramore last month having been off for 393 days previously. May be more to offer having had a run.

Form: 24P6/7-7

Harden²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: B J Cooper| T: G Elliott| OR: 100

12/1

Shown only limited promise in four maiden hurdles to date, represents in-form Elliott team but has some improvement to find to land the spoils.

Form: 4/8038-

Majestic Warrior¹²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: B T O'Connell| T: C Byrnes

50/1

Well beaten off in heavy ground bumper at Limerick in December and off the track since, may have more to offer now jumping a hurdle and meeting better ground.

Form: 8-

Oskar High⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: A Ring⁽³⁾| T: N Lee

66/1

Been sent off 100/1 in both maiden hurdles to date and has not threatened to defy those odds at any stage, faces stiff task again in this.

Form: 00-8

Pump Road^h⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: B R Dalton| T: J G Lonergan

50/1

Trainer has yet to see a runner placed from 41 attempts under rules, judged on debut effort at Thurles on March this one has plenty to find to change that.

Form: 7-0

Rebelion Boy⁶⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: R M Power| T: Mrs J Harrington

20/1

Thirteenth of 18 in novice hurdle at Punchestown over 2m4f on heavy ground 69 days ago, drops in trip here and market position will be noted with trainer and jockey in fantastic form.

Form: FPP0-6

Sonny Quaid³⁵⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: S W Flanagan| T: Kevin McDonagh

100/1

Pulled up in 2m maiden hurdle at Limerick 11 months ago having gone off 100/1 chance, off the track since and likely to have limited hopes in this return.

Form: 0000/P-

Tidjani¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: D G Hogan| T: D Hogan

66/1

Was backed for Punchestown bumper on debut in October but never looked a likely winner, subsequently ran very poor race at Kilbeggan in the same sphere last month. Hard to fancy chances now jumping hurdles for the first time.

Form: 48-

Massi Rose¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: R Loughran| T: J Monroe

66/1

Disappointing in two outings last year, showed no improvement on reappearance at Cork last month having gone off a 100/1 chance, faces a formidable task to land a blow here on form.

Form: P00-

Silver Planeur⁸⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: R P Treacy⁽⁵⁾| T: E McNamara

66/1

Much work to be done based on three maiden hurdle runs thus far if he is going to be involved at the business end in this.

Forecasts

Timi Roli (4/7), Coolmeen Hill (9/4), Up For Discussion (10/3), Jacobs Well (10/1), Harden (12/1), Rebelion Boy (20/1), All's Quiet (50/1), Calipso Collonges (50/1), Pump Road (50/1), Majestic Warrior (50/1), Paddytheirishman (50/1), Banquet Hill (66/1), Oskar High (66/1), Silver Planeur (66/1), Massi Rose (66/1), Tidjani (66/1), Sonny Quaid (100/1)

Despite a disappointing effort last time at Thurles, TIMI ROLI sets a fair standard in this contest. A winner on the Flat in his native France, he's been given plenty time by the champion trainer to sharpen his game and can make it third time lucky on these shores. Coolmeen Hill showed some promise over a longer journey at Fairyhouse on jumping bow and could offer more now dropped in trip while Harden, Jacobs Well and Calipso Collonges are considered for place terms in what looks a weak opener.
