Polish Partisan^t¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Robbie Colgan| T: D Broad| OR: 95

33/1

Fair maiden hurdler for Edward O'Grady, but limited impact for current yard over fences, and well held on AW at Dundalk last month. Best days probably behind him and needs to refind some form.

Form: 6406-38

Goodthynemilan⁵³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: D N Russell| T: D Ahern| OR: 91

6/1

Point winner who has shown a bit more over hurdles in two handicap tries at 2m, and can do better now stepping up in trip. One to watch in the market and not discounted.

Form: F162-08

Waste Of Time^b1¹⁸⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: R Loughran| T: P Meany| OR: 91

33/1

Well held in two runs after a lengthy absence last year, and has another 6-month break to contend with. Blinkers tried now, but too much to prove at present to be considered.

Form: 874/090-

Whoyakodding²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Brian Hayes| T: G Ahern| OR: 90

8/1

Well held first two starts under rules, but better signs when staying on fifth at Limerick last month. Makes handicap debut, and step back up in trip here will suit. One of the more likely ones.

Form: PP050-4

Cadawill^b¹³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: C Brassil⁽⁵⁾| T: R Sweeney| OR: 89

9/1

No win in 32 starts hardly inspires confidence, and was running poorly when last seen, but on the plus side has been placed all four starts in handicaps over C&D, so could bounce back after a break.

Form: 934PP0-

Milestone Prince³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: J J Slevin⁽⁵⁾| T: M McCullagh| OR: 88

16/1

Has shown a modicum of ability in maiden hurdles, but poor effort last time, and plenty more needed on handicap debut. Looks an unlikely candidate for top honours.

Form: 07003-9

Black Kettle⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Sean Flanagan| T: Christian Delcros| OR: 87

13/2

Much his best effort when third in Down Royal handicap hurdle last month, but failed by some way to repeat that effort at Fairyhouse recently. Bit to prove after that, and needs to bounce back.

Form: 65/7399-

Freedom Square¹⁷²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: B T O'Connell| T: J R Barry| OR: 87

14/1

Not seen since poor run at Thurles in October, but running creditably prior to that and chances if ready after a six month absence (has run to form once after a break). Not totally discounted.

Form: 604P5-8

Paleos Du Charmil^p1,t⁷⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: J M Moore| T: P Nolan| OR: 86

10/1

Not disgraced on handicap bow at Limerick when tongue-tied, but ran badly at Fairyhouse in January, and the first time cheekpieces he's wearing today need to help him regain that earlier promise. Plenty to prove at present.

Form: 006P2-P

Fire On¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: D J McInerney⁽⁷⁾| T: M McCullagh| OR: 85

6/1

Soundly beaten in maiden hurdles/handicap debut, but much improved when runner-up at Thurles (2m7f) last month, and should be able to build on that. Slight drop back in trip not necessarily a positive move, though.

Form: 00/0020-

Johns Choice^p1⁷⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: E O'Connell⁽⁷⁾| T: S J Kenny| OR: 81

10/1

Best effort when midfield on handicap bow at Limerick, but regressed since, and cheekpieces now reached for. Others have more persuasive profiles.

Form: 987508-

Ardkilly Acclaim^b1⁷¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-11| J: C D Maxwell| T: R J Tierney| OR: 80

66/1

Big prices and largely well held over hurdles, and fell in a point on return from lengthy absence in January. Blinkers reached for now but still looks to have little hope of victory.

Form: 080P/FP-

Hannah's Lane¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-11| J: Katie O'Farrell⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss M L Hallahan| OR: 80

8/1

Several good efforts in low-grade handicaps in 2015/16. Behind Fire On at Thurles last month, but that was her first run for almost three months and she can be expected to come on for it. One for the shortlist.

Form: P647-05

Prince Garyantle^p1,t²⁶³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: A E Lynch| T: M J Smith| OR: 80

10/1

Not beaten far in big-field handicap hurdle at Down Royal last May, but lesser efforts subsequently, and cheekpieces replace a hood now back from a break for new yard. Plenty to prove.

Form: 60811-2

Steak And Spuds²³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: A W Short⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Mangan| OR: 80

14/1

Bit more impact when midfield at Limerick (3m) on latest outing, but more required to be competitive here. Slight drop back in trip may help, but still others hold more solid claims.

Form: 940970-

Jessicor^p1¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: B J Foley⁽⁷⁾| T: M Butler| OR: 84

33/1

No impact in maiden hurdles, and tailed off on handicap debut at Cork last month. Cheekpieces reached for, but still hard to give a solid chance to.

Form: 60000-0

Forecasts

Goodthynemilan (6/1), Fire On (6/1), Black Kettle (13/2), Hannah's Lane (8/1), Whoyakodding (8/1), Cadawill (9/1), Prince Garyantle (10/1), Paleos Du Charmil (10/1), Johns Choice (10/1), Bobbythegangster (11/1), Freedom Square (14/1), Steak And Spuds (14/1), Milestone Prince (16/1), Caniwillyegiveme (16/1), Queen Oscar (16/1), Polish Partisan (33/1), Jessicor (33/1), Waste Of Time (33/1), Ardkilly Acclaim (66/1)

HANNAH'S LANE was only fifth when Fire On was second at Thurles last month, but that came after a 12-week break, and as she's likely to strip fitter for that, ought to do much better here. Cadawill is not easy to win with, but has a good record over this course and distance and may once again get in the money.
