Selected odds by:

Celtic Dancer¹⁰⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: R P Treacy⁽³⁾| T: E McNamara

33/1

106-rated hurdler, jumped a bit tentatively in two chase starts at Leopardstown (2m5½f, yielding) and Clonmel (2m½f, soft to heavy) in March and needs more to be competitive when it matters.

Form: 114P08-

Cloudybackwest¹⁹²

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Gary Noonan⁽⁷⁾| T: P Neville

125/1

Has shown bits and pieces of form in maiden hurdles; completely tailed off when last seen out over Christmas and best watched unless market speaks in his favour.

Form: 203099-

Convara²³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: C A Landers⁽⁵⁾| T: A Slattery

6/1

Down Royal maiden hurdle winner in June last year over extended two-miles; didn't exactly progress afterwards but that run came after a layoff so merits a look in the betting on chase bow.

Form: 693/147-

Da Vinci Rock^b1¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Phillip Enright| T: E M O'Sullivan

50/1

Promising effort last August in Cork maiden hurdle (2m3f, yielding) something of a beacon amidst poor form either side; hard to recommend on seasonal return going chasing for the first time.

Form: 0P/3P5-P

Daybreak Boy²³

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: R M Power| T: H De Bromhead

11/5

Holds ratings of 93 on the Flat and 133 over hurdles. Market likely to reveal connections expectations as the gelding makes his chasing debut and certainly no surprise if he's primed. Trainer also runs Havingagoodtime.

Form: 0/23020-

Jack Holiday²¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Keith Donoghue| T: J F Gleeson

66/1

Nothing special over hurdles and beaten fair and square in pair of chase outings last season; much to be worked on at the moment.

Form: 340870-

Knock On Steel¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Sean O'Keeffe⁽⁵⁾| T: B Jordan| OR: 120| D

10/3

Consistent so far over fences but remains 0-7 (placed five times); likely to run a sound race again whilst finding one or two stronger.

Form: 89223-3

Lord Boru^t¹¹

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: A McCurtin⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Walsh

125/1

10-years-old; maiden, came in for some market support on return at Tipperary recently but faded in the home straight and beaten 37L in the end. Chase debut, others preferred.

Form: 236/36-0

Peaches And Cream⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: J M Moore| T: G P Cromwell

12/1

Useful hurdler (three wins, rated 126); down the field on chase bow at Tipperary six days ago having started a 28-1 chance; should carry on the education here.

Form: 8415P-0

Shannon Tide¹⁷⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: E Bolger

14/1

Tailed off twice over fences so far; one over banks course at Punchestown. Best days probably further down the road given connections.

Form: F/00907-

Havingagoodtime²⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead| D

11/5

Winner of a Grade 3 handicap hurdle at Cheltenham in April 2019; 3-10 all told in that sphere and kept some good company. Very much one to note for this trainer/jockey team on chase debut.

Forecasts

Daybreak Boy (11/5), Havingagoodtime (11/5), Global Jackpot (11/4), Knock On Steel (10/3), Jerandme (5/1), Convara (6/1), Bere Haven (8/1), Peaches And Cream (12/1), Shannon Tide (14/1), Ringo Kid (25/1), Celtic Dancer (33/1), Da Vinci Rock (50/1), Jack Holiday (66/1), Lord Boru (125/1), Cloudybackwest (125/1)

Global Jackpot sets the standard and threatens to be well suited returning from a break on a decent surface, while there's a strong chance that Jerandme can go well on chase bow being race-fit from a near miss on the Flat recently. Knock On Steel is reliable but vulnerable. Henry De Bromhead has a strong hand with Daybreak Boy and HAVINGAGOODTIME. The former had a spin on the Flat recently and is considered but Rachel Blackmore's mare was a Grade 3 handicap winner over timber and remains open to plenty progress, she gets the vote in a very competitive finale.
