5/4
Prolific point-to-point winner, has won one of three chase starts on the racecourse proper and was laying down a challenge in this race 12 months ago when falling two from home.

11/10
Runner-up at his venue on St Patrick's Day, a run that has been flanked by point-to-point wins. Holds strong claims of going one better in a race without much depth.

14/1
Fairly limited ability over hurdles, showed good attitude to be second on first outing in the point-to-point sphere at Stradbally last month and may build on that in this contest.

8/1
Yet to score under rules in 20 attempts, finished second in a point-to-point at Loughanmore recently. Can't be ruled out of this weak race.

Very modest ability in point-to-points, was beaten a long way behind Quiet Account in similar contest here in March and no reason to suspect that form will be reversed now.

Verdict

CHOSEN DREAM has been a prolific winner in point-to-points and boasts some sold recent form in that sphere recently. He was in the process of challenging in this same contest a year ago when coming down and holds a fair chance of improving on that effort now. Quiet Account was second here in March either side of point-to-point wins and looks the next best option while rules debutant See What is by no means overlooked.
  1. Chosen Dream
  2. Quiet Account
  3. See What
