Selected odds by:
Beaten favourite on his last couple of starts over the larger obstacles at Down Royal and Tramore. Sure to be popular in the betting once again but comes here with a warning.
Gallant and popular veteran who last saw the winners enclosure over five years ago. Others hold stronger profiles.
Modest hurdler, now 0-3 over fences having being overwhelmed in a number of contests recently. Others look open to more improvement.
Improved performance earlier this month when running Kilderry Prince to 2¼L in a Tramore handicap chase. One for the shortlist.
Poor handicapper under both codes and appears to be out of love with the game currently. Unlikely to play a part in the finish.
Tailed off in a couple of chase starts at Roscommon and Galway following a break of four years away from the track.
Not disgraced in a number of starts over the larger obstacles but looks up against it here in this company.
17-race maiden including nine defeats over fences. Needs to bounce back in a big way to have a say here.
Forecasts
Ticket To Ride (6/4), Gotaway (3/1), Glacial Shadow (8/1), Tara Mia (8/1), Golanbrook (10/1), Caoimhe Diva (12/1), Bard Of Armagh (14/1), Where's Me Jumper (28/1)
TICKET TO RIDE has bumped in to a couple of smart types since St Stephens day but the Al Namix gelding can get off the mark at the seventh time of asking over the larger obstacles in an easier looking contest. The Robert Tyner-trained Gotaway and Glacial Shadow, on second start for tainer Thomas Coyle look the best of the rest who look a little out of form.
