Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: S A Shortall| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 108| D

8/1

Distance winner of a Kilbeggan maiden hurdle two years ago. Useful 113-rated handicapper over timber the Galileo gelding has been floundering in four career chase starts to date. Unlikely to be playing a part in the finish.

Perfect Leader¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: D E Mullins| T: Ms M Mullins| OR: 102| D

4/1

Winner over a similar trip when landing his second chase win of his career in a Wexford handicap last month off a 7lb lower mark. Likely to improve again and worthy of consideration.

Form: F413-81

Das Mooser^t²⁷²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: M J Bolger| T: M Fahey| OR: 100| BF| D

9/2

Won over this trip at Limerick 11 months ago when scoring off a 5lb lower mark. Generally well held in a number of starts since but not ruled out in this company.

Form: 3/71536-

Comehere Hi¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: Ricky Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: J Nash| OR: 95| D

11/2

Modest 99-rated handicap hurdler who ran a career best over the larger obstacles when finishing third of 10 beaten 7½L in a beginners contest at Downpatrick last month. Leading player in this heat.

Form: 2456-63

Allied Victory^t¹⁶⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-6| J: L Quinlan⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 88

8/1

One from 22 over fences doesn't trigger any enthusiasm for the Old Vic gelding and losing run goes back to 2014. Unlikely to be troubling the judge.

Form: 5926/R9-

Disco Musik¹¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Darragh O'Keeffe⁽⁷⁾| T: M J McDonagh| OR: 83

9/2

Well held and never nearer in eight career starts to date including in four desolate efforts over fences. Will need to raise overall profile to play a role here.

Form: 0PU975-

Captain Cobajay^p,t¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: Sean O'Keeffe⁽⁷⁾| T: E Sheehy| OR: 81

12/1

132-race maiden includes a number of gloomy performances over the larger obstacles since chasing debut in February. Tough to see where improvement is coming from to win this.

Form: P090-P5

Hard Bought⁸

Age: 12| Weight: 9-10| J: C D Maxwell| T: Mrs D A Love| OR: 78| CD

6/1

Course winner that has also won over this trip. Not getting any younger and form has a regressive look of late but the veteran still holds the ability to hit the frame in this company.

Form: 4P9-P34

Forecasts

Perfect Leader (4/1), Das Mooser (9/2), Disco Musik (9/2), Comehere Hi (11/2), Hard Bought (6/1), Treasure Chest (8/1), Allied Victory (8/1), Captain Cobajay (12/1)

Distance winner, DAS MOOSER can collect the third win of her career over the larger obstacles on return to action here. The eight-year-old, who has gone well fresh on a number of occasions in the past, can see off the attentions of Downpatrick third and potential improver, Comehere Hi and the veteran, Hard Bought. Last time out winner, Perfect Leader is not easily dismissed but may have to settle for a minor role shouldering a 7lb penalty.
