Age: 16|  Weight: 11-12| J: R Loughran| T: M S Sandra Hughes
2/1
Likely to make his play from the front and will hope to get a softish lead here, may be capable of seeing the job out if left alone.

Horse silk
Arbre De Vie52
Age: 16|  Weight: 11-12| J: Ruby Walsh| T: W P Mullins
10/11
Was the pick of these over hurdles and given too much to do with front-running winner on chase bow earlier this month, likely wiser now and the one to beat.

Horse silk
Burgas233
Age: 15|  Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Flanagan| T: N Meade
6/1
Decent sort over hurdles and has posted solid form on two starts over fences so far since joining current trainer, type to do better at this game.
4
Horse silk
Moonshine Lad42
Age: 18|  Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott
7/1
Trainer in fine form but this lightly raced nine-year-old has failed to complete in three of five starts over fences, including last month at Down Royal, leaving him with plenty to ponder.

Robin De Roost182
Age: 16|  Weight: 11-12| J: J M Moore| T: T Gibney
66/1
Didn't land a blow on chase bow over two-miles at Fairyhouse recently, goes up in trip here.

Horse silk
Steamboat Bill10
Age: 15|  Weight: 11-12| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G Elliott
28/1
Useful over hurdles but has struggled in three outings over these obstacles and others clearly ahead of him right now.

Horse silk
Dont Kick Nor Bite17
Age: 15|  Weight: 11-5| J: Mark Walsh| T: R Tyner
20/1
Modest type over hurdles in comparison to some of these, make chase debut here and may do well in time, best watched for now however.

Dorkas11
Age: 17|  Weight: 11-5| J: B T O'Connell| T: J R Finn
66/1
Mare made an uninspiring start to chase career on first outing for this trainer at Naas earlier this month, goes up in trip now.
9
Horse silk
Twiss's Hill19
Age: 17|  Weight: 11-5| J: P E Corbett(3)| T: D H Kelly
66/1
Mid-division when making chase bow at Limerick late last month and not easy to build a case for here.

Forecasts

Arbre De Vie (10/11), Acapella Bourgeois (2/1), Burgas (6/1), Moonshine Lad (7/1), Dont Kick Nor Bite (20/1), Steamboat Bill (28/1), Twiss's Hill (66/1), Dorkas (66/1), Robin De Roost (66/1)

Verdict

Acapella Bourgeois is likely to set the pace in this once more. He wasn't given an easy time of it in front latest and eventually succumbed under pressure. ARBRE DE VIE was undone by a front runner first time out over fences and so he'll surely keep closer tabs this time and can get off the mark for the champion trainer as a result. Few of the remainder can lay solid claims and it is Burgas that can grab the minor money on his third start for this yard. 1. Arbre De Vie 2. Acapella Bourgeois 3. Burgas
