Thrived for switch to current yard last November, winning twice, but his form has tailed off badly in recent starts, and hard to fancy after failing to complete at Roscommon on Monday. Tongue tie replaces blinkers here.

10/1
Largely consistent, if hard to win with, for Alan King, but not so reliable in recent times, and no impact over hurdles or fences for new yard. May do better for a break, however, so needs a market check on first start since January.

Gained first chase win off 10lb lower mark at Sligo in September, and nosed out at Cork next time. Ran poorly at latter track in January, but no surprise to see him bounce back on better ground.

9/2
Runner-up over fences at Limerick in December, but held back by jumping since, and below form on handicap debut at same course in March. Capable of better, but needs to iron out the kinks.

14/1
Not the most consistent, but only 3lb higher than when winning over fences at Downpatrick in August, and while his last two starts in this discipline have been disappointing, is another who may benefit from a break.

3/1
Just one win in his career to date, and form is patchy, but did take a small step in the right direction when sixth over C&D last time. Needs to show he can build on that effort.

5/2
Ran well when placed in handicap chases at Leopardstown in December and January, and softer ground a viable excuse for latest defeat at that venue. Capable of bouncing back with a hood refitted, and still figures on a workable handicap mark.

Forecasts

Dallas Cowboy (5/2), Rock On Fruity (3/1), Double Island (9/2), Riviera Sun (5/1), Smadynium (8/1), Turn Over Sivola (10/1), Mitebeall Forluck (14/1), Pumbaa (20/1)

Verdict

DALLAS COWBOY is the safest option in a race where most arrive out of form. He had been running well until flopping on soft ground last time, and is likely to bounce back. Riviera Sun is another who can be forgiven a blip in the mud last time, while Turn Over Sivola is disappointing, but well treated on old form and in very good hands if he's ever to revive.
  1. Dallas Cowboy
  2. Riviera Sun
  3. Turn Over Sivola
