Three Wise Men123
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-9| J: Danny Mullins| T: H De Bromhead| OR:  135
5/1
Winner of a maiden hurdle on heavy ground at Fairyhouse on his rules debut in March 2016 and run well in three decent beginners chases this season. Latest second behind Min was a decent effort and makes his handicap debut off top weight here.

Horse silk
Westerners Sonb19
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-8| J: C D Maxwell| T: D A McLoughlin| OR:  134
20/1
Winner at Naas off a 7lb lower mark in February. Well beaten twice in valuable events since including when pulled up at Gowran Park earlier this month but every chance of him returning to form here.

Horse silk
Pumbaa183
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-4| J: B T O'Connell| T: D Commins| OR:  130
20/1
Finished runner-up on penultimate outing in a conditions chase at Listowel in September but pulled up in a handicap at Sligo subsequently. Makes his debut for this yard on first outing for six months here.

Horse silk
Prickly134
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-0| J: S J Gray(3)| T: E J O'Grady| OR:  126
12/1
Winner of a novice chase over 2m at Fairyhouse in November. Had previously finished third to the useful Ball D'Arc at Wexford and he appears to have a decent chance if fit for this handicap debut on his first outing in over four months.
5
Horse silk
Ludo Et Emergo13
Age: 10|  Weight: 10-13| J: Robbie Colgan| T: A Lee| OR:  125
20/1
Well beaten on each start this season including at Wexford last time out. Handicap mark is falling as a result but more is needed if he's to repeat his 2015 victory in this event despite racing off a 5lb lower mark here.
6
Horse silk
Leap Dearg47
Age: 9|  Weight: 10-11| J: Paul Townend| T: J Nash| OR:  123
16/1
Well beaten in a first time tongue tie at Naas over 2m last month and no signs of form since finishing fifth at Cork in October. More needed in this.
7
Horse silk
Double Island28
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-8| J: D Robinson(5)| T: H De Bromhead| OR:  120
6/1
In front when unseating rider two from home at Clonmel on his penultimate outing and fell at the same track subsequently. Makes his handicap debut here as he seeks a first win under rules.

Horse silk
Capture The Drama13
Age: 9|  Weight: 10-4| J: A Ring(3)| T: Aengus King| OR:  116
7/1
Winner of two of his last three outings including at Wexford in a five runner event over 2m earlier this month. Flexible in terms of distance having also won over an extended 3m1f this season and interesting to see if he can follow up off this 7lb higher mark here.
9
Horse silk
The Moochb25
Age: 9|  Weight: 10-4| J: J M Moore| T: P Nolan| OR:  116
11/1
Finished fourth at Leopardstown earlier this month but recent form has been poor in the main. Last win came off a 7lb lower mark and looks likely to struggle in this.
10
Horse silk
Black Zerob19
Age: 9|  Weight: 10-1| J: M A Enright| T: M J McDonagh| OR:  113
6/1
Finished runner-up the last twice including in a valuable event at Gowran Park last time out. Raised 3lb for that success and looks likely to run well again with his regular jockey again taking the ride here.
11
Horse silk
Boher Callt21
Age: 10|  Weight: 9-13| J: Rachael Blackmore(3)| T: P W Flynn| OR:  111
13/2
Consistent sort and a winner at Thurles earlier this month on his latest outing. Steps up in grade here but has every chance of running well again with a useful claiming rider in the saddle.
12
Horse silk
Dont Kick Nor Bite42
Age: 6|  Weight: 9-11| J: Phillip Enright| T: R Tyner| OR:  109
4/1
Beaten 10L when third in a beginners chase at Clonmel last month. Previous outings over fences resulted in heavy defeats but showed a fair level of ability without winning over hurdles and interesting receiving weight from all her rivals here.

Forecasts

Dont Kick Nor Bite (4/1), Three Wise Men (5/1), Black Zero (6/1), Double Island (6/1), Boher Call (13/2), Capture The Drama (7/1), The Mooch (11/1), Prickly (12/1), Leap Dearg (16/1), Ludo Et Emergo (20/1), Westerners Son (20/1), Pumbaa (20/1)

Verdict

Top weight THREE WISE MEN can make a winning handicap debut here having finished runner-up behind the useful Min last time out. The selection returns from a break here but has shown enough over fences to suggest he can take a competitive handicap like this. Capture The Drama is taken to finish second as he bids to register a third win in his last four starts while Prickly can claim third on his first appearance in handicaps.
  1. Three Wise Men
  2. Capture The Drama
  3. Prickly
