Expensive purchase, won latest point-to-point at third attempt in October and third of seven in bumper over this C&D last month. Should progress.
Beat around 8L in a Gowran Park bumper a year ago, won point-to-point at Nenagh in January by similar margin on sole outing since and has joined Grand National-winning trainer subsequently.
Former point-to-point winner posted an improved effort at Down Royal on third bumper outing to be 5L third of nine in January over this trip.
€65,000 3-y-o out of King's Theatre represents powerful connections on racecourse debut here and will be no surprise should he go close.
Solid fourth in first start at Naas last month in 2m3f maiden hurdle, first bumper run here for Friday's Gold Cup-winning trainer.
Black Sam Bellamy gelding makes first appearance on the track for yard that doesn't have many runners and no surprise should he need the run before seen to best effect.
Winner of a point-to-point at Lingstown by 8L on debut in December. Very much one for the shortlist here representing a team in red-hot form this week.
€46,000 3-y-o, Milan gelding is pitched in against some promising rivals here and best watched unless market vibes are strong.
Better effort at Naas last month in 2m bumper, needs another good step forward to have a leading role in this.
Mare didn't display anything in previous bumper outings at Naas and Limerick to suggest she'll play a forward role now.
Beaten 57L when eighth of nine over C&D early this month, hard to see how she will turn that around against some smart opposition.
In trouble not long after halfway on debut at Thurles over this trip in December on soft ground, beat over 100L, limited expectations in this as a result.

Minellafordollars (6/4), Jetz (11/4), Four Alfie (5/1), Beyond The Law (8/1), Ballyhome (12/1), Castle Clyde (14/1), Riverdene (20/1), Two In One (25/1), Kiwi King (25/1), Our Little Gem (50/1), The Lady Of Brega (66/1), Whats The Forecast (66/1)
At the end of a week where they effectively duelled for the top trainer award at Cheltenham, the Elliott and Mullins teams lock horns much closer to home in the finale. It is the former who may come out best again with MINELLAFORDOLLARS, an impressive point-to-point winner previously under today's rider who should be up to the challenge on his first racecourse foray. Four Alfie represents the champion trainer and is of course greatly respected given the Closutton strike rate in these contests. The well-related Jetz ran well enough over timber at Naas last month to merit consideration for the in-form Harrington team now tackling a bumper, while Castle Clyde and Ballyhome are capable of improving on decent showings in this sphere already.
