11/10
Has some good form in the book, not only with an easy win at Thurles last time out but also when beaten just 5¼ by the classy Alpha Des Obeaux at the same course in October. There could be more to come.

4/1
Course winner who has been racing over much further than this recently, step down in trip is a doubt as he's never won over such a short trip, but brings some of the best recent form into the race.

13/2
Hasn't placed since finishing third in a maiden hurdle at Galway in July 2015. Has been running incredibly poorly recently and would need a massive revival in order to be competitive here.

10/3
0/16 including both rules and point to point races. Has been improving recently, including when a 5L third at Limerick in December, and makes handicap chase debut off not an unreasonable mark.

Age: 7|  Weight: 9-12| J: S J Gray(3)| T: G M Doyle| OR:  95
14/1
Makes handicap debut after a series of poor showings over fences under rules and in point to points. Plenty to find even as bottom weight here and looks an unlikely winner.

Forecasts

Goulane Chosen (11/10), Dr Waluigi (10/3), Capture The Drama (4/1), Patsio (13/2), Killare Castle (14/1)

Verdict

This can go to GOULANE CHOSEN, who has by far the stand-out form in the book having won easily at Thurles last time and finishing behind the likes of Alpha Des Obeaux earlier in the season. He'll have to give it his all to make it back-to-back wins but there should be more to come. Capture The Drama is a doubt at this trip but could prove the next best, ahead of Dr Waluigi, making his handicap debut.
