A Rated³²

Age: 14| Weight: 11-12| J: J J Burke| T: L Kenny

20/1

No match for front pair in novice hurdle here last month but well clear of the remainder, could have more to offer.

Form:

Art Of Synergy

Age: 14| Weight: 11-12| J: G N Fox| T: N Meade

10/1

Best effort to date over hurdles when runner-up in Fairyhouse maiden over two-miles in March, hasn't raced since but remains capable of improvement.

Form:

Bilbo Bagins²⁸

Age: 16| Weight: 11-12| J: B M Cash| T: A Murray

100/1

Beaten out of sight in all three bumper runs, suggesting he has limited claims for this first attempt over hurdles.

Form:

Catch A Lucky Star³⁴

Age: 16| Weight: 11-12| J: P D Kennedy⁽³⁾| T: M M McNiff

100/1

Some promise in bumpers but took a solid beating on debut at this game last month at Down Royal.

Form:

Gettysburg Address¹⁰

Age: 14| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Flanagan| T: N Meade

5/2

Improved from debut over timber when just over seven-lengths runner-up at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day at this trip.

Form:

Glenabo Bridge⁸

Age: 14| Weight: 11-12| J: I J McCarthy| T: O McKiernan

100/1

Point-to-point scorer last February but hasn't done much in two runs over hurdles, unseating his rider at the last on January 1st when well beaten at Fairyhouse.

Form:

Irish Mustard³³

Age: 15| Weight: 11-12| J: M P Fogarty| T: P J Colville

100/1

Hasn't shown great potential in two starts over timber, including at Naas 13 days ago when beaten some 80-lengths.

Form:

River Run¹⁰³

Age: 15| Weight: 11-12| J: Brian Hayes| T: D Cullen

100/1

Bitterly disappointing in three starts for champion trainer over hurdles, has since switched yards and had a pipe-opener on the Flat at Dundalk before Christmas.

Form:

Select Opportunity¹⁵

Age: 14| Weight: 11-12| J: B T O'Connell| T: E Cawley

100/1

Has struggled in three of these to date, including at this venue in September, faces stiff task again.

Form:

Winsome Bucks²¹

Age: 15| Weight: 11-12| J: R Loughran| T: T Hogan

33/1

More expected on hurdles bow at Bellewstown in August but didn't jump with much fluency. Bumper form was encouraging and may have learned from his last run.

Form:

Black Key²²

Age: 13| Weight: 11-9| J: D J Mullins| T: H De Bromhead

3/1

Hurdles debut fourth here last month looks good form and has since run credible third at Leopardstown, trainer in fine form and he's going the right way.

Form:

C'Est Jersey⁵⁵

Age: 13| Weight: 11-9| J: Ruby Walsh| T: W P Mullins

15/8

Debut second here has worked out very well (Black Key fourth) but disappointing run at Fairyhouse since (behind Gettysburg Address) makes him tough to assess. Cheekpieces go back on.

Form:

Changing Fast¹³

Age: 13| Weight: 11-9| J: B Browne⁽⁷⁾| T: O McKiernan

100/1

Thumped in similar company at Naas 13 days ago, hard to make a case for chances here.

Form:

Getaway Kid¹⁹

Age: 13| Weight: 11-9| J: J M Moore| T: N Meade

66/1

Just modest form in two bumper runs ahead of this jumping test, goes up in trip for trainer in good form.

Form:

Highland Fling⁴⁸

Age: 13| Weight: 11-9| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G P Cromwell

66/1

Struggled all three starts over timber to date, no reason that will change now going up in trip.

Form:

Judge Not¹³

Age: 13| Weight: 11-9| J: A McCurtin⁽⁵⁾| T: H Smyth

100/1

Hasn't displayed a great level of ability in two prior runs over hurdles to suggest he'll have more than bit-part role in this.

Form:

Monkshood²⁶

Age: 13| Weight: 11-9| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott

10/1

Pleasing effort on first appearance to be fourth of 13 at Limerick last month, gives him claims to have a say in the shake-up here.

Form:

Sizing At Midnight

Age: 13| Weight: 11-9| J: M A Enright| T: M F Morris

40/1

Well held in Cork event a fortnight ago over three-miles, drops in trip here and capable of better but might need some time to show it.

Form:

Spring Watch

Age: 13| Weight: 11-9| J: Mark Walsh| T: M F Morris

66/1

25/1 and ran according for Punchestown debut over two-miles in May. Off the track since and goes up in trip for this.

Form:

William Tyndale²⁹

Age: 13| Weight: 11-9| J: Donagh Meyler⁽³⁾| T: K Thornton

100/1

Makes racecourse debut here, will need fair ability to make it count first time out but trainer has near 20-per-cent strike record over hurdles during the last 12 months.

Form:

Hide The Biscuit¹²

Age: 15| Weight: 11-5| J: Danny Mullins| T: M Torrens

33/1

Got off the mark in a point-to-point in October, pulled up only previous run under rules a year ago.

C'Est Jersey (15/8), Gettysburg Address (5/2), Black Key (3/1), Monkshood (10/1), Art Of Synergy (10/1), A Rated (20/1), Winsome Bucks (33/1), Hide The Biscuit (33/1), Sizing At Midnight (40/1), Spring Watch (66/1), Getaway Kid (66/1), Highland Fling (66/1), Bilbo Bagins (100/1), Irish Mustard (100/1), Catch A Lucky Star (100/1), Glenabo Bridge (100/1), Select Opportunity (100/1), William Tyndale (100/1), Judge Not (100/1), Changing Fast (100/1), River Run (100/1)

C'est Jersey has two reverses on his record already at short odds. The first behind Any Second Now has worked strongly but his most recent effort was a worry. On the form of that run at Fairyhouse, he's got something to find with Gettysburg Address here. Preference in this is for BLACK KEY who was behind C'est Jersey on debut but has since run a fine race to be third at Leopardstown. Monkshood made a good impression on his Limerick debut last month and is greatly respected in this field while Art Of Synergy could easily have a say if ready for this on first start since March. Newcomer William Tyndale is worth a check in the market for a trainer with a strong record in this sphere. 1. Black Key 2. Gettysburg Address 3. C'est Jersey
