Selected odds by:

Billy De Kid¹¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: M A Enright| T: T Cooper

33/1

Nine starts over hurdles failed to yield a win, so fences need to prompt an improvement.

Form: 42475P-

Crosshue Boy¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Flanagan| T: S Doyle

16/1

Won three times over hurdles and, as a point-to-point winner, he should have no trouble with the fences. Each-way claims.

Form: 792190-

Gwencily Berbas^t¹³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: D F O'Regan| T: A Fleming| OR: 138

11/4

Three-times hurdle winner who has shown only fair form in three outings over the bigger obstacles. Can do better.

Form: 136/426-

King Muro^h,t²⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Alain Cawley| T: F O'Brien| OR: 117

33/1

English raider whose last run saw him finish a respectable third to Frodon at Newton Abbot, but he needs to defy a long lay-off.

Form: 17/3403-

Lion In His Heart¹³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: B J Cooper| T: H De Bromhead

12/1

Raced in good company as a novice hurdler and makes his chasing debut for leading connections. Obvious contender.

Form: 6/21FR7-

Master Appeal¹²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: G N Fox| T: J E Kiely

14/1

Fair hurdler who has failed to shine in two chase outings. Needs to show more.

Form: 015770-

Modem¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: R M Power| T: Mrs J Harrington

3/1

Useful hurdler at his best, but has struggled recently and in-form yard will hope fences can spark a revival.

Form: 43/0449-

Our Dougal¹⁹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: D J Mullins| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 128

8/1

Runner-up three times in four chases, he has strong claims against rivals with less experience over the bigger obstacles.

Form: 2/122F2-

Roconga¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Mark Walsh| T: E J O'Grady

6/1

Has been mixing hurdles races with Flat contests and now goes chasing. Talented and sure to go well if taking to this new sphere.

Form: 172/010-

Sea Light¹³⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: D N Russell| T: C Byrnes| OR: 117

8/1

Has been running over further over hurdles and is likely to find this a little sharp on his chasing debut.

Form: F10310-

Voices Of Spring^h⁹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Donagh Meyler⁽³⁾| T: A J Martin

20/1

Only success came in a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle in 2015. Has struggled since then and perhaps fences will be more suitable.

Form: 1/05406-

Ask Nile⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Brian Hayes| T: S Neville

10/1

Point-to-point winner who achieved a fair level over form over hurdles. Promises to be a better chaser.

Form: 244145-

Nancys Icon^b1,t1⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: R P Treacy⁽⁵⁾| T: P Neville

100/1

Unplaced in six hurdles starts, she goes chasing with blinkers and a tongue tie fitted for the first time.

Form: P0900-P

Forecasts

Gwencily Berbas (11/4), Modem (3/1), Roconga (6/1), Our Dougal (8/1), Sea Light (8/1), Ask Nile (10/1), Lion In His Heart (12/1), Master Appeal (14/1), Crosshue Boy (16/1), Voices Of Spring (20/1), Billy De Kid (33/1), King Muro (33/1), Nancys Icon (100/1)

Connections of LION IN HIS HEART have wasted no time in going chasing and he has the scope to be a useful performer at this game. Ask Nile and Crosshue Boy are former point-to-pointers who should go well, Modem could be revitalised by this new discipline, and Roconga and English hope King Muro are also respected.
