Grand Soir^p⁵⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: S D Torrens| T: J C McConnell| OR: 134| D

Heliko Conti²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: P Nolan| C

17/2

Fairly useful hurdler. Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Respectable eighth of 19 in handicap hurdle (10/1) at Naas (23.1f, heavy) 22 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase.

Form: 060728

Iceberg Theory^p⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Flanagan| T: P Nolan

9/2

Fairly useful hurdler. Pulled up in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Leopardstown (24.1f, good to soft) 44 days ago, pulled up before ninth. Makes chase debut.

Form: 31-636P

Jeriko De Baune²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Brian Hayes| T: P Fenton| C

18/1

Fair hurdler. Creditable sixth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Naas (23.1f, heavy, 14/1) 22 days ago. Makes chase debut. Much respected.

Zefiro Dodville⁴⁹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: J C Gainford| T: G Elliott

15/2

Fairly useful winner at 22f over hurdles. Won 15-runner novice hurdle at Down Royal (22.5f, soft, 12/1) on hurdles bow, pushed out. Off 16 months but still one to consider on his chase debut.

Form: 1/51-

Cuta Des As²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| OR: 111

13/2

Fairly useful winner at 22f over hurdles. Only fifth of 8 in novice chase at Punchestown (22.7f, soft, 22/1) 25 days ago so needs to get back on track

Form: 1P-7495

Majestic Force⁷¹

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

10/11

Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Failed to build on chasing debut promise when sixth of 8 in novice chase at Naas (20.1f, heavy, 9/4) 71 days ago. Up in trip. Yard in good form. Still the one to beat.

Form: 115-26

Forecasts

Majestic Force (10/11), Iceberg Theory (9/2), Cuta Des As (13/2), Zefiro Dodville (15/2), Heliko Conti (17/2), Jeriko De Baune (18/1), Jerk (20/1), Grand Soir (28/1), Bob The Builder (80/1)

MAJESTIC FORCE fluffed her lines when sixth at Naas last time but holds the clear edge on form so is taken to bounce back in style here. Chasing newcomers Zefiro Dodville and Jeriko De Baune could emerge as the main threats to Henry de Bromhead's mare.
