Selected odds by:

Bacardys^t³¹

Age: 11| Weight: 12-0| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| OR: 142

5/2

Smart hurdler. Good second in 2m4f Gowran maiden chase in November but failed to repeat that effort in Grade 1 at Leopardstown last time. Returned to calmer waters now.

Form: P579-25

Bold Assassin^t1³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: M P O'Connor⁽⁵⁾| T: H De Bromhead

100/1

Fairly useful chaser. Third of 15 in maiden chase (14/1) at Down Royal (20f, heavy) 34 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. More needed.

Form: 427P-F3

Boston Hill^p⁴⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: I J Power| T: K P Egan

200/1

Temperamental sort. Remains a maiden after 16 NH runs and well held in maiden chase at Naas (19f, soft) 44 days ago.

Form: 00-0P08

Egality Mans²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: D E Mullins| T: W P Mullins| BF

9/4

Showed plenty in just 3 starts over hurdles and was still going well when falling 2 out on Punchestown chasing debut 29 days ago. Sure to win races in this sphere.

Form: 122/1F-F

Everglow^p1,t²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Sean Flanagan| T: N Meade| OR: 132

5/1

Useful chaser who wasn't disgraced when second of 11 in maiden chase at Punchestown (23.2f, heavy) 29 days ago, though no impression on winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.

Form: 94-5642

Floueur^t³²

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: J C Gainford⁽³⁾| T: G Elliott| OR: 136

7/1

Useful hurdler who failed to repeat his Fairyhouse form when a well-held third of 8 in maiden chase at Leopardstown (21f, soft) 32 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 663P-33

Frontal Assault^p⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: B J Cooper| T: G Elliott

8/1

Promising sort. 5/1, creditable fourth of 8 in minor event chase at Navan (20f, good to soft) 42 days ago, inadequate test. Remains open to improvement.

Form: 1018-34

Gabbys Cross^h⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: D Robinson| T: H De Bromhead

40/1

Fairly useful hurdler. 20/1, fell fifth in maiden chase at Naas (19f, soft) 44 days ago. May yet do better as a chaser.

Form: 1658-4F

Grand Paradis^t²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| C| D

11/2

Useful hurdler who got back on track returned to calmer waters when creditable third of 10 in maiden chase at this course (21.5f, soft) 28 days ago, finishing tired.

Form: 411-FP3

Kilcasey Gold^b1¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: A M King⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Gilligan

250/1

Pulled up in novice/maiden hurdles so easily opposed on chase debut. Blinkered for 1st time.

Form: 0P-PPPP

Longacre Square¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Shane Fenelon⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Hanlon

200/1

Fair hurdler who hasn't taken to chasing. Significantly back up in trip.

Form: 0000F0

Minella Escape²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead| D

25/1

Fairly useful winner at 21f over hurdles. Not disgraced when fourth of 10 in maiden chase (10/1) at this course (21.5f, soft) 28 days ago, but his jumping remains a concern.

Form: F21F-94

Sean Hogan^t1⁷²

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: M F Morris

66/1

Fair winning hurdler for Henry De Bromhead who shaped as if better for the run sent chasing when sixth of 8 in 22f maiden at Thurles in November. Should improve.

Form: 6/5F1-6

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: P J Carberry| T: B McMahon

Forecasts

Egality Mans (9/4), Bacardys (5/2), Everglow (5/1), Grand Paradis (11/2), Floueur (7/1), Frontal Assault (8/1), Minella Escape (25/1), Gabbys Cross (40/1), Sean Hogan (66/1), Bold Assassin (100/1), Soloman Lane (100/1), Longacre Square (200/1), The Last Throw (200/1), Boston Hill (200/1), Tullyhogue Fort (250/1), Kilcasey Gold (250/1), The Eye Of Tulla (250/1)

EGALITY MANS, a lightly-raced winner over hurdles, was still going well when falling 2 out on his chasing debut at Punchestown last month, so he's well worth another chance with improvement on the cards. Frontal Assault and Bacardys head the dangers in that order.
