Holding his form well in three starts since winning a Wexford maiden hurdle in March. Second of eight on debut over the larger obstacles last month and likely to give another good account of himself.
Vast amount of improvement needed in this contest following a couple of dismal efforts over fences at Wexford and Fairyhouse since seasonal debut in October. May need a few to falter.
Not disgraced in a number of starts over timber, only making his debut early last month. Bit more needed on first start over fences.
122-rated handicap hurdler has been well beaten and never a factor on a couple of starts over the larger obstacles at Galway in October and a 38L reversal at Fairyhouse last month. Needs to show more sparkle before any faith is placed in him.
Five-race maiden over fences with a career best effort coming in a 2m4f Gowran Park beginners chase in March. Not seen since April when running over hurdles and faces a tough ask in this company.
124-rated hurdler. Well beaten and no impression in a couple of starts in Grade company in the spring. Fourth of eight on chasing debut last month when jumping carefully following a bad mistake at the first. One for the shortlist.
Likely to build on an encouraging third of 10 beaten 1L on chasing debut at Fairyhouse last month. Yard have a 75% win and place strike rate in this contest since 2013 from four runners including a win for Killer Crow in 2015.
128-rated hurdler. No impression on leaders before a mistake at the last put paid to any chance on chasing introduction at this track last month over 2m1f. Improvement on the cards stepping up in trip.
Forecasts
La Tektor (15/8), An Fraoch Mor (3/1), Diamond Turf (4/1), At The Acorn (7/1), Cool Saint (8/1), Connard (14/1), Bentham (16/1), Brosna George (50/1)
Trainer Gordon Elliott has saddled Killer Crow to win this event in 2015 with Crest, 12 months later and Sir Carno last year filling the runner up spots. The Diamond Bay gelding, DIAMOND TURF can build on an encouraging third of 10 beaten 1L on chasing debut at Fairyhouse last month over 2m5f. An Fraoch Mor can emerge as the biggest danger following a pleasing second of eight beaten 4L on chasing debut last month under jockey Robbie Power. The Tony Martin-trained La Tektor, encouraging third of 14 on first start over fences last month and the returning Connard can compete for remaining prize money.
