Stayed on well over 2m4f at Wexford last time and now tackles this longer trip for the first time. One for the shortlist judged on that effort.

Winner of a couple of strongly run races on good ground earlier in the season. Was not at his best on testing ground last time and handicap mark looks fair.

Has gone 18 races since his last success but has posted some good efforts in the interim. Trip and ground are perfect.

Winner on good ground on debut for Henry De Bromhead. Yet to race over this far and style of running in recent races has not suggested he needs a longer trip. Amateur rider now replaced by a more experienced jockey.

Age: 8|  Weight: 11-5| J: Brian Hayes| T: G Murphy| OR:  109
7/1
C&D winner in January on testing ground and ran well over this trip at Wexford last time. Has won a point-to-point on good ground so seems versatile as to conditions. Lightly raced under rules and remains open to improvement.

Record of 3-23 and has shown a preference for much softer ground than is forecast here. On a good mark at present and cheekpieces are on for the first time.

Form has been a mixed bag. Pulled up on his last two starts and hard to recommend. Good ground is the only positive.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-1| J: Danny Mullins| T: J P Ryan| OR:  105

Has claims on his C&D win in July on similar ground. Has first run for new yard following a break and has gone well when fresh previously.

Age: 9|  Weight: 11-0| J: Robbie Colgan| T: Miss M L Hallahan| OR:  104
16/1
Has been running mainly over fences for the past year but looks better treated over hurdles. Finished second to the useful Oscar Sam 17 months ago and, although flattered by that form, he is not without a chance if adapting to faster conditions for the first time.

Nicole's Milan14
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-13| J: Phillip Enright| T: S Aherne| OR:  103

Stays this trip well and has improved throughout the winter. Has a willing attitude and holds solid claims from a mark which looks well within her capabilities.

3/1
Chased home Camlann, who has improved significantly since, and was well clear of the third at Down Royal. Disappointing favourite last time when he was a bit too free in a slowly run race.

Age: 8|  Weight: 10-13| J: B T O'Connell| T: Miss E Doyle| OR:  103

Has proven stamina and a preference for faster ground. On a reasonable mark at present but is likely to need this first run in 18 months.

Emma Beag15
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-12| J: Rachael Blackmore(3)| T: Miss E Doyle| OR:  102

Trip and ground look ok. Has now dropped to a mark from which she produced some good efforts at Fairyhouse. Generally attracts support and is due to win one soon.

Leader's Choice29
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-8| J: Adrian Heskin| T: D G Murphy| OR:  98
16/1
Point-to-point win came on heavy ground and best performances under rules have been with cut underfoot. Will be better suited to this trip having disappointed last time.

Nobody Home15
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-7| J: C D Timmons(5)| T: E Cawley| OR:  97
14/1
0/17 in his career across both hurdles and chases, having been seemingly outclassed on almost all his starts. Should be brushed aside by most of these once again despite a 3lb drop in the weights.

Optimised15
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-7| J: C Brassil(5)| T: G Elliott| OR:  98
10/1
Looks held by a few of these judged on his latest effort. Still lightly raced and represents powerful connections. Good claimer booked and one to check in the market.

Age: 8|  Weight: 10-5| J: I J McCarthy| T: S Fahey| OR:  95
40/1
Won sole start in a point-to-point, but limited impression in maiden hurdles. May improve now handicapping, so market check essential.

Age: 7|  Weight: 10-4| J: R P Treacy(5)| T: Don Cashman| OR:  94

Won handicap hurdle at Clonmel (2m4f) in December, and not disgraced over 2m at Wexford. Should cope with this longer trip and cannot be discounted.

Pahaskap10
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-4| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR:  106
10/1
Appeared to have little in reserve when clinging on at Limerick 10 days ago. Remains to be seen if that race has left it's mark and a 4lb rise in the weights makes this even tougher.

Age: 10|  Weight: 10-4| J: P F Mangan| T: P O'Flynn| OR:  94
20/1
Has shown a preference for top of the ground conditions and stays well. Chase form makes her competitive from this mark if fit following a nine month break.

Verdict

THERE YOU GO was a disappointing favourite last time in a race where the finish was dominated by those held up off the pace. He still fared best of those ridden prominently and if settling better he can be another winner for Jessica Harrington. His second to Camlann suggests he is far better than that run suggests. Emma Beag is well treated on her best form and can go well. Nicoles Milan is improving at such a rate she could add this to her two wins this season whilst Admiral Brian, Icantsay and Boru Boy cannot be dismissed with conditions in their favour.
