Selected odds by:
One from 17, under rules, sixth of 23 on baptism of fire national hunt debut in Cork maiden hurdle, when sent off at 50/1. Will come on for that run.
Oscar filly cost €8,000 as a three-year-old 12 months ago, ran green on debut at Tramore early last month but the penny was dropping in the latter stages and she stayed on strongly to grab second. Finished runner-up twice subsequently, before winning a 12-runner bumper at Wexford. Yard has had six winners at this meeting in the last four years.
Still a maiden after five attempts, but shaped better last time out in Wexford bumper. A lot to prove on hurdling debut.
Beaten a total of 164L on first two national hunt starts, including a 63L defeat on hurdling debut at Cork.
Completely tailed off on rules debut, beaten 114L in Killarney maiden hurdle. Difficult to see how first-time cheekpieces will bring about any improvement.
Well beaten and no impression in three bumper starts and two hurdle runs, including 42L behind the winner of a Cork maiden. One of the leading jockey's at this meeting in the last four years is unlikely to bring about any improvement.
Not seen for 335 days when seventh of 23 in Cork maiden hurdle over 2m on yielding ground earlier this month.
Has produced a similar level of form in four NH Flat events between 2m and 2m4f, beaten between 7L and 21L each time. Fifth of 11, in mistake-filled maiden on hurdling debut at Wexford.
No encouragement in three PTP starts, pulled up on her last two starts and eighth of 18, beaten 28L in Limerick, before seventh of 12, beaten 36L in ork maiden hurdle.
72-rated handicapper on the Flat for trainer Jane Chappel-Hyam. By Champs Elysees who has his fair share of national hunt winners. Debut for top trainer/jockey combo.
Disappointing on debut at Limerick and quick return paid no dividends five days later when well beaten, before 11th of 23 when sent off at 100/1 last time out, earlier this month.
First Reserve: Eighth of nine beaten 89L on hurdling debut in Naas maiden on soft/heavy ground over 2m3f, before 17th of 23, beaten 58L at 66/1 in Cork maiden.

Forecasts
Contingency (8/13), Osco Mosco (9/4), Kilbarry Marien (9/2), Mother's Best (8/1), Miss Sassie (12/1), Its Only Me (16/1), Around The Pound (20/1), Jessamine (20/1), Pegsappleandcarrot (20/1), Jazz Mine (25/1), Empors Sword (33/1), Mallwood (50/1), Sweet Destination (50/1), Geni Johnson (50/1), Cloneen Lady (66/1), Illchanceit (66/1), Destination Debbie (66/1), Betty's Lane Star (100/1)
Expect to see CONTINGENCY, taken to the front in the early stages and possibly making all here under Ruby Walsh. In a race where quite a few can be easily dismissed, Osco Mosco, yard has had six winners at this meeting in the last four years and Kilbarry Marien, second of 11, beaten just over 2L in Killarney maiden hurdle, can follow the favourite home.
