6/1

Beaten favourite last time out in a Punchestown hunter chase over 2m4f beaten 31L in to third. The mare is better than that run and one for the shortlist here.

Form:

Bold Sky^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: J W Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 94

10/1

Trainer Henry De Bromhead had 10 attempts with current yard going for the ninth start here with the 18-race maiden. Certainly shortlisted but may find one or two quicker and better weighted here.

Form:

Erkindale Lady^p⁴²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: D J McInerney⁽³⁾| T: Miss M M Gannon| OR: 94

14/1

One from 10 over the larger obstacles and still races here on unsuitable ground and 8lb higher than last winning mark so could find life difficult.

Form:

Island Master¹⁶⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: J J Slevin| T: W J Burke| OR: 94

14/1

Wins have come in a point-to-point and a hunter chase but has basically struggled off his initial handicap mark of 100. More struggles look to be on the cards here.

Form:

Just Wait And See⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr W J Gleeson⁽⁷⁾| T: J F Gleeson| OR: 93

9/1

Last seen in a handicap chase in August last year when well beaten. Hunter chase winner in April but has modest cross-country and point-to-point start to his name recently. Others hold stronger profiles.

Form:

Quarry Rua^p1,t¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: B J Foley⁽⁵⁾| T: P O'Flynn| OR: 92

33/1

First-time cheekpieces are unlikely to bring the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here for this eight-race maiden under rules.

Form:

October Revolution¹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: Mr D T McGrath⁽⁷⁾| T: D J McGrath| OR: 91

12/1

Modest hurdler but has place claims following a third place here over C&D in August finishing third of 16 beaten 2½L behind Toncoole off a 1lb higher mark. Entitled to make the shortlist here.

Form:

Old Supporter³²

Age: 13| Weight: 11-7| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: Ms H P Markham| OR: 90| CD

8/1

C&D winner in this contest last year off a similar mark who could well be in the mix again with 2018 winning jockey riding for the first time since victory on the gelding.

Form:

Black Jewel⁴¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: A E Lynch| T: P W Flynn| OR: 88

16/1

Unable to halt alarming slide in form with a number of inept efforts over the larger obstacles including a 117L at Southwell in a mistake-filled chase start in November.

Form:

Double Windsor¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: L P Dempsey| T: D M O'Brien| OR: 87

9/1

Will have disappointed connections in a series of dismal displays over the larger obstacles including two heavy defeats at Wexford and Downpatrick last month. Hard to construct a case for the gelding here.

Form:

Do Be Doin'^t¹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-3| J: R Loughran| T: M Hassett| OR: 86| D

14/1

One from 24 over fences with his sole win coming in February 2015. Never nearer or ever on terms in two handicap chase starts last month and unlikely to play a part in the finish here.

Form:

Naughty Molly¹⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 11-3| J: S W Flanagan| T: J R Barry| OR: 86

10/1

Distance winner and an encouraging second of 16 beaten a neck behind Torncoole Lad here in August. Disappointed over hurdles last month beaten 42L and market likely to be the best guide to chances.

Form:

Country Capers^h¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: T Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: S Ryan| OR: 85

25/1

Early mistake put paid to any chance the gelding had on chasing debut at Limerick last month. Plenty to prove on second start in this contest.

Form:

Model Cloud¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: B Hayes| T: M Winters| OR: 81

7/1

Well beaten and never nearer in two handicap chase starts last month. Unlikely to be troubling the judge here.

Form:

Shanklys Dawn^p,t¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-4| J: A W Short⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 73

11/1

Won a Downpatrick handicap chase over 2m3½f on soft ground in March before struggle on a couple of occasions off a 4lb higher mark. Lower rating a positive but still plenty to prove here.

Form:

Paudi The Punter³¹

Age: 12| Weight: 9-10| J: R C Colgan| T: G T Lynch| OR: 65

25/1

Well beaten a total of 57L on his last two handicap chase starts including a 36L defeat last time out at Fairyhouse in November. Disappointing over hurdles recently and improvement unlikely here.

Das Mooser (6/1), Model Cloud (7/1), Old Supporter (8/1), Just Wait And See (9/1), Double Windsor (9/1), Naughty Molly (10/1), Bold Sky (10/1), Shanklys Dawn (11/1), October Revolution (12/1), Island Master (14/1), Do Be Doin' (14/1), Erkindale Lady (14/1), Black Jewel (16/1), Paudi The Punter (25/1), Country Capers (25/1), Just A Normal Day (25/1), Quarry Rua (33/1), Jamesmicheal (150/1), Better B Quick (150/1)

The good ground was very much to the liking of BOLD SKY who can land the spoils here in her fifth handicap appearance for trainer-Gordon Elliott. Naughty Molly who is a distance winner and an encouraging second of 16 beaten a neck behind Torncoole Lad here in August can hit the frame along with last years victor the popular veteran Old Supporter.
