Selected odds by:

Donacheady Gale⁶¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: R M Power| T: J P Ryan| BF

8/1

Fairly useful winner at 16f in bumpers. Third of 9 in bumper at Listowel (2m) when last seen in September 2019. Subsequent absence is a worry ahead of hurdles bow and market likely best guide.

Form: 13/

Gamin Original⁴⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Brian Hayes| T: W P Mullins

6/4

French bumper winner who shaped as if in need of run when 33 lengths ninth of 10 to Burning Victory in Winning Fair Juvenile Hurdle at Fairyhouse (2m) in February. Very much the type to do better.

Form: 219/

Irish Poseidon¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Keith Donoghue| T: M J Smith

11/8

Fairly useful Flat winner who stepped up on his hurdles debut effort when third of 17 in novice hurdle at Killarney (17f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Big player with prospect of more to come.

Form: 4-3

Pythion²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: M Winters

18/1

Once-raced maiden over hurdles. 16/1, first run since leaving G. M. Lyons when seventh of 12 in novice hurdle at this course (17.1f, soft) on NH debut 20 days ago. Should improve.

Form: 7

Didn'tsleepawink³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: M P Walsh| T: E M O'Sullivan

10/1

Twice-raced maiden. 50/1, sixth of 14 in novice hurdle at this course (17.6f, good to soft) 38 days ago. Feasible to think he can do better again, particularly in handicaps.

Form: 46-

Dothislikethis¹⁷⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: S D Torrens⁽³⁾| T: J C McConnell

80/1

Once-raced maiden. Tongue strap on, shaped as if better for run when seventh of 10 in bumper at Navan (2m) on debut in December. Makes hurdles debut up in trip.

Form: 7-

Gali Flight³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: J J Slevin| T: P Fenton

8/1

Spider Flight gelding showed promise at long odds when fourth of 15 in novice hurdle at Limerick (19.2f, soft) on NH debut 35 days ago. Fancied to do better, particularly longer term.

Form: 4-

Mac Suibhne^t²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: Richard Daniels

125/1

Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Tenth of 12 in novice hurdle (80/1) at this course (17.1f, soft) 20 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Forecasts

Irish Poseidon (11/8), Gamin Original (6/4), Karla Martina (7/2), Donacheady Gale (8/1), Gali Flight (8/1), Didn'tsleepawink (10/1), Sevenna Star (14/1), Svenman (14/1), Pythion (18/1), Baltic Moon (50/1), Summer Wine (50/1), Dothislikethis (80/1), Mac Suibhne (125/1), Moakland (125/1), The Royal Pump (125/1), Not So Bad Lad (250/1), Another Struggle (250/1), Molly Millar (300/1)

A fairly useful operator on the Flat, IRISH POSEIDON matched that level at the second attempt over hurdles when third in a Killarney novice 15 days ago. There's more to come as he brushes up his jumping and he can come out on top. Gamin Original looks a likely improver for Willie Mullins and is feared, ahead of Gali Flight and Didn'tsleepawink.
