10/1

Finished 8L behind Wishmoor last month when finishing third of seven before finishing another 9½L behind the same horse earlier this month here. May appreciate step up in trip.

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: B J Foley⁽⁵⁾| T: S Spillane| OR: 120| D

25/1

One from 10 over the larger obstacles but even her best form would probably leave her short of what is required here.

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: D J McInerney⁽⁵⁾| T: K Thornton| OR: 120| D

10/1

Well beaten and no impression in four gloomy hurdling displays since December and difficult to make a case for him back chasing.

Form:

Swingbridge^b,t¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott| OR: 118| BF| D

5/1

Placed on his last two starts over the larger obstacles though beaten over 10L on both occasions. Solid effort last time out over hurdles puts him in the picture here back chasing.

Form:

20/1

Well beaten on comeback run following a year off the track when finishing 86L behind the winner in December. Hard to fancy in first-time tongue-tie.

Form:

Clontarf^t,v1⁴³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: D J Hand⁽⁷⁾| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 113| D

12/1

Has been left toiling in a number of recent starts including a 16L defeat last time out in a Punchestown handicap chase. Looks opposable.

Form:

Oscar Lantern²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: M A Enright| T: C Byrnes| OR: 113

4/1

Improved for the step up in trip when winning a Punchestown handicap chase on heavy ground last month. Raised 6lb for that effort and capable of another big run.

Form:

Cappacurry Zak^p¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: S W Flanagan| T: L Young| OR: 112| D

14/1

Beaten favourite at Thurles on his penultimate start before weakening in the Punchestown Grand National trial earlier this month. Plenty to find on last two starts.

7/2

Built on a promising run at Thurles in December when landing a Fairyhouse handicap chase last month. Raised 5lb for a 6L win and another bold show looks likely.

Form:

Take The Cash^b1¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-5| J: B J Cooper| T: A McNamara| OR: 102

8/1

Third of seven at Fairyhouse last month before a solid third of 18 at Thurles earlier in the month. May appreciate first-time blinkers.

Form:

Do Be Doin'^p,t¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 9-10| J: A E Lynch| T: M Hassett| OR: 93

14/1

Has failed to finish two of his last three chase starts and has been generally out of form since November. Looks up against it here.

Forecasts

Dinnie's Vinnie (7/2), Oscar Lantern (4/1), Swingbridge (5/1), Take The Cash (8/1), Paper Lantern (10/1), Bilko (10/1), Clontarf (12/1), Do Be Doin' (14/1), Skellig Rocks (14/1), Cappacurry Zak (14/1), On The Shannon (20/1), Goulane Davina (25/1)

Dinnie's Vinnie, On The Shannon and Cappacurry Zak are likely to be up with the pace in the early stages here. SWINGBRIDGE has put in some solid efforts since the turn of the year and seems to be running well for jockey Davy Russell and can land this contest with Oscar Lantern and Bilko hitting the frame.
