Selected odds by:
Decent sort who hasn't been in the best of form of late over the larger obstacles. Will need to raise overall profile to play a role.
Found an ideal opportunity to get off the mark at Fairyhouse earlier this month and could well improve further in first-time blinkers.
Course winner that has won over the trip. Two from 20 over fences the eight-year-old may continue to struggle still racing 5lb higher than last winning mark in October 2017.
Winner of a Limerick handicap chase last month off a 6lb lower mark. The veteran has his own views on the game and refused to race at Cork a couple of weeks ago.
Yard in good form but the seven-year-olds last win over fences came over 12-months ago. Well held since and first time cheekpieces doubtful to bring about the required amount of progress needed to play a role here.
One from six over the larger obstacles, more recently seen on the Flat and over hurdles before finishing second of 10 beaten 3L in a Limerick handicap chase over Christmas. Hard to fancy and plenty to prove.
Well down the field in four dismal chase efforts before being pulled up at three out in a Fairyhouse beginners contest last month. Out of sorts recently and this looks a tough ask.
Fourth of 14 beaten 5L here over 3m½f last month but has generally been seen to struggle over fences since winning at Ballinrobe off a 3lb lower mark. Plenty to prove.
Forecasts
Roaring Bull (13/8), Laid Back Luke (4/1), Teacher's Pet (11/2), Surf Instructor (6/1), Lilshane (8/1), Killaro Boy (10/1), Double Portrait (14/1), Sanibel Island (20/1)
The Gordon Elliott-trained, ROARING BULL can get a decent pull in to the race from Double Portrait before making his decisive move to follow-up on his win over Great Khan in a Fairyhouse beginners contest earlier this month, winning readily in the process. The six-year-old, in first-time blinkers can see off the attentions of the J P McManus-owned Teachers Pet and the enigmatic Lilshane given the 12-year-olds participation.
- Roaring Bull
