9/2

Distance winner who has been out of form recently over the larger obstacles and others hold stronger profiles here.

Form: 29/1-5F9

Drummullagh Rocky²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: C D Maxwell| T: S McParlan| D

50/1

Lightly raced gelding who finished 11th of 14 beaten 68L on last start in a Fairyhouse beginners chase. Hard to see him making any significant impact in this contest.

Form: 157P/P-0

Justmemyselfandi^t⁵⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: D Meyler| T: Miss E Doyle| OR: 113

6/1

Nothing in four chase starts to date and based on his modest seventh of 11 in March, unlikely to be troubling the judge here.

Form: 60/FF3-7

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: A E Lynch| T: D McDonogh| OR: 96| D

20/1

Nothing of any note in three chase starts between September and November last year and luck unlikely to change here.

Peace News⁹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: D N Russell| T: H De Bromhead

11/8

Better than his 73L defeat last time out in a Leopardstown handicap hurdle in February. Yard usually go well at this meeting and worth a market check on chasing debut.

Form: F544/2-0

Stowaway Forever¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: L P Dempsey| T: J P Dempsey

11/4

Improving hurdler who is an interesting recruit to the chasing ranks. Yard in acceptable form currently but best watched on chasing debut here.

Form: 49-2240

Whatsinthecorner²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 101

16/1

Well beaten and never a factor in two handicap hurdle starts including a 92L defeat at Navan in December. No extra after three out on chasing debut at Fairyhouse last month.

Forecasts

Peace News (11/8), Stowaway Forever (11/4), Art Of Synergy (9/2), Justmemyselfandi (6/1), Whatsinthecorner (16/1), Maighnealta (20/1), Drummullagh Rocky (50/1)

141-rated novice hurdler PEACE NEWS was taking his chances in Grade 1 and Grade 2 company last year and looks to be well ahead of the opposition here on chasing debut. The Liz Doyle-trained Justmemyselfandi is without a win in four chase starts but could be the one to take advantage of any shortcomings from the selection. Art Of Synergy looks to be struggling over the larger obstacles while Stowaway Forever is an interesting chasing recruit.
