Er Dancer^b²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr A Harney⁽⁷⁾| T: S Doyle| OR: 116| BF

11/4

Fairly useful chaser who having finished runner-up in a point 2 weeks earlier, wasted what had looked a good opportunity when third of 5 in hunter chase at Down Royal (19.6f, heavy, 4/6) 25 days ago. Blinkers back on.

Good Bye Sam³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins| BF

5/6

Wasted what had looked a good opportunity when 4¾ lengths third of 11 to Along Long Story in hunter chase (2/11) at Thurles (25f, good to soft) 32 days ago. 7 lb better off with that rival here, he's worth another chance to confirm yard debut promise.

Form: 223-223

How's Trix^t⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr R W Barron⁽⁷⁾| T: J F Gleeson

100/1

0-7 in the pointing field, runner-up last time (Apr 3). Well-beaten ninth of 11 to Along Long Story in hunter chase at Thurles (25f, good to soft, 125/1) on NH debut 32 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: M J M O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: E Mullins

8/1

Presenting gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including Welsh National winner Monbeg Dude and ungenuine but fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Major Hindrance. Made frame second of 2 starts in points (Feb 20).

Loggan Lady²⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr B J Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Walsh

40/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Never-dangerous eleventh of 15 in minor event chase at Punchestown (24f, good to soft, 200/1) 148 days ago. First run for yard after leaving P. J. Rothwell.

O Mio Babbino¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss M O'Sullivan⁽⁵⁾| T: Patrick Cronin

16/1

A dual point winner around the turn of the year and left previous efforts under Rules well behind tried chasing when 8¼ lengths fourth of 11 to Along Long Story in hunter (10/1) at Thurles (25f, good to soft) 32 days ago. More needed here though.

Forecasts

Good Bye Sam (5/6), Er Dancer (11/4), Ask D'Man (9/2), Lord Schnitzel (6/1), Its On The Line (8/1), O Mio Babbino (16/1), Along Long Story (25/1), Loggan Lady (40/1), How's Trix (100/1)

Several of these finished behind Along Long Story at Thurles last month including 2/11 favourite GOOD BYE SAM. Willie Mullins' charge is 7 lb better off with that rival here and having finished runner-up to Cheltenham Festival winner Billaway on his penultimate start, he can prove that his latest effort was just a minor blip. Five-time point-to-point winner Er Dancer looks the main danger to the selection, ahead of Lord Schnitzel.
