Selected odds by:

Cant Wait^t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: R Loughran| T: T Hogan| OR: 95

8/1

Still a maiden after 14 starts but shaped a little better at Punchestown last time. Any rain would be in her favour and not dismissed despite the patchy profile.

Form: 4546-86

Davids Charm^p1³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: A McCurtin⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Walsh| OR: 95

9/1

Well beaten on the Flat last time and only minor promise in previous hurdles starts. Could do better now tackling handicaps but hard to recommend on all known form.

Form: 3007-

Finish In Style³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: M P Walsh| T: E Bolger| OR: 94| D

6/1

Works off a lower chase mark than he does hurdles but that would appear to be justified and not shown much form over timber. Trainer likely to get the best out of him sooner or later and this looks a weak contest but he looks vulnerable with regards to win purposes.

Form: 3P0093-

Seaboard^b1¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Rachael Blackmore⁽³⁾| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 94

6/1

Decent effort in 2m1f handicap hurdle at Punchestown on Monday when 5L fourth of 24 runner, runs off the same mark here in first-time blinkers and not dismissed.

Form: 24660-4

Chase The Clouds³¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: D F O'Regan| T: Miss M L Hallahan| OR: 90

16/1

Point-to-point winner finished tailed off on three starts under rules. May be out of his depth here.

Form: 71480-7

Granny Biddy^p1¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Brian Hayes| T: M Winters| OR: 89| BF

8/1

Placed in a couple of hurdles runs either side of a winter break but doesn't look particularly well handicapped in any fashion.

Form: U473-30

Aimin For Anna^b²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: K J Brouder⁽⁷⁾| T: T P O'Connor| OR: 87

33/1

Sixteen runs without a win and this looks a deeper contest than some she has contested. Up against it once again.

Form: 9PD0P-9

Grey Mountain Mist^b,t³¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: A W Short⁽⁷⁾| T: E Sheehy| OR: 87| D

10/1

Has hit some form for this yard. Followed up his win at Ballinrobe with a fair effort last time at Downpatrick when he was in the money once again. Back down in trip will suit and no surprise to see him in the mix once again.

Form: 6733-13

Tough But Honest³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Paul Townend| T: E McNamara| OR: 85

13/2

Only lightly raced but yet to place in six starts. Minor signs of improvement on comeback run last time but needs to take a big step forward to land a blow here.

Form: 56690-7

Ballygill Countess¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Phillip Enright| T: V T O'Brien| OR: 84

25/1

Tailed off on the majority of her seven starts and best effort probably came in a Listowel bumper in September on debut. Needs to show more before she becomes of interest.

Form: 69970-9

Emilyogue^t1²²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: D E Mullins| T: J P Ryan| OR: 92

16/1

Only minor promise in five starts to date, and finished tailed off when last seen. Doesn't always look a natural jumper and first-time tongue-tie unlikely to make enough of a difference for her to have a say.

Form: 053-87

Nineteensixteen^h,t¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: M J Bolger| T: M J Tynan| OR: 83

25/1

Signs of promise on point-to-point debut at Dungarvan in January but thoroughly beaten on four starts under rules. Hard to fancy.

Form: F70-09

Queen Khaleesi^t1²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: D E Splaine| T: P Neville| OR: 83

33/1

Beaten out of sight on each of her four starts to date and step up in trip didn't make any difference last time. First-time tongue-tie applied.

Form: 70-00

Ted Bach^t1¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: D J Mullins| T: D Budds| OR: 83

7/1

Went close under this jockey at Tipperary in April and finished third of 24 at Punchestown last time. Tongue-tie tried for the first time today and would appear to have a fair chance of losing his maiden tag.

Form: 4592-83

Jimmyjames⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: A Ring⁽³⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 80

33/1

Has a string of poor efforts to his name already since the turn of the year and pulled up last time at Wexford. Given time to recover but still hard to fancy.

Form: 99605P-

Lash It On²⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 10-11| J: D N Russell| T: C Byrnes| OR: 80

8/1

Winner of a 2m6f handicap chase by ¾L at Tramore last year but not won over hurdles since 2013. On a very fair mark so not discounted but all his wins have been over further than this.

Form: 10P10-9

Mary's The Boss¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 10-11| J: I J McCarthy| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 80

25/1

Only two starts under rules since September 2013, with one of those coming in a hunter chase. Looks too high in the handicap on the basis of her last run at Punchestown last month.

Form: 401P/6-0

Fraser^t¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Sean Flanagan| T: D H Kelly| OR: 86

33/1

Tailed off on all eight starts across Flat and NH racing and clearly limited from an ability perspective.

Form: 900-0

Forecasts

Finish In Style (6/1), Seaboard (6/1), Tough But Honest (13/2), Ted Bach (7/1), Lash It On (8/1), Granny Biddy (8/1), Cant Wait (8/1), Davids Charm (9/1), Grey Mountain Mist (10/1), Calipso Collonges (11/1), Chase The Clouds (16/1), Emilyogue (16/1), Mary's The Boss (25/1), Ballygill Countess (25/1), Nineteensixteen (25/1), Queen Khaleesi (33/1), Jimmyjames (33/1), Aimin For Anna (33/1), Fraser (33/1)

TED BACH has a good chance to get his first win on the board and the first time tongue tie could eek out a little improvement. Grey Mountain Mist has been in excellent form since joining his current yard and Lash It On is on a fair looking hurdles mark after some good wins of fences last year.
