Moderate on the Flat and little better over hurdles. Hard to see why the switch to fences will produce any better.

One of the better ones of these over hurdles, and this trip suits as well. Not a bad effort when last seen, finishing within shouting distance of the improving Fridaynightlights and if translating his ability to fences, looks a player here.

20/1
Does have a couple of placed efforts over fences to his name, and seems to reserve his best efforts for this track, but is an infrequent winner and isn't in any great form at present.

7/2
Winner over hurdles at Fairyhouse in October, and has looked the type to do better over fences. Would have needed recent run at Cork after six months off and may well take a hand here.

12/1
Got no further than the first only only chase start at Clonmel when brought down, so excused that. Only moderate over hurdles and yet to prove he wants this trip, so others preferred.

Age: 10|  Weight: 11-12| J: C D Timmons(5)| T: E Cawley
10/1
Related to a winning chaser, which offers hope he might take to fences, but no win in 19 starts and another starting off in this sphere plenty late enough.

8/1
Would hold chances on the best of his hurdle form, and although still a maiden in that sphere wasn't in bad form when last seen and does seem to stay this trip. Gets cheekpieces to help and may go well if jumping proficiently.

Age: 5|  Weight: 11-10| J: Mark Walsh| T: C Roche| OR:  97| D
7/1
Absent since last October when showing some promise in a couple of novice chases, but plenty to prove here, not least the suitability of this trip. Too much to prove at present, and best watched on return tonight.

Optimisedp133
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-10| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G Elliott
8/1
Related to winning chasers and connections wasting little time with him over hurdles. Close fourth in a handicap hurdle at Down Royal in March showed he stays this trip, and looks one of the more likely ones.

Horse silk
Native Lassp17
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-5| J: Brian Hayes| T: M Winters
7/1
Has chase experience when third at Wexford in April, an early mistake not helping her cause but she should have learnt plenty from that and looks a little more progressive than a few here. Not discounted.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-5| J: Donagh Meyler(3)| T: A L T Moore| C
14/1
Placed in a couple of handicap hurdles last October but she lost her form not long after, and no better on chase debut at Wexford recently, although she may have needed the run. Plenty to prove now.

Twilight Shadow184
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-5| J: Mr D G Lavery(3)| T: B R Hamilton| C
10/1
Looked useful when winning a maiden hurdle here last May and may well have won again but for falling two starts later. Not seen since November and may need this, but one of the higher rated hurdlers and should have a future over fences.

Vintage Salont14
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-5| J: J S McGarvey| T: J Nash
25/1
Bred to be smart but remains to be seen whether chasing will be her game. Sprang a 33/1 surprise in a maiden hurdle last July but recent form has tailed off somewhat. Needs to bounce back.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-12| J: A W Short(7)| T: A Stronge

Only low grade on the Flat and over hurdles and needs the switch to fences to have a major effect.

Forecasts

Jack Slade (7/2), Mossy Island (6/1), Native Lass (7/1), Finding Touch (7/1), Theturnofthesun (8/1), Optimised (8/1), Dontbackme (8/1), Twilight Shadow (10/1), Oscar Buzz (10/1), Tigroney (10/1), Kilcaragh Boy (12/1), Tb Broke Her (14/1), Banker Burke (20/1), House Limit (20/1), Vintage Salon (25/1), Artical Eleven (25/1), Sinour (28/1), Ciankyle (33/1)

Verdict

Solid profiles are thin on the ground, and minimum stakes are advised. TIGRONEY should strip fitter for a recent outing and could go well in a modest contest. She's bred for fences and ought to be up to winning a race or two. Jack Slade has a similar profile and should improve, along with Optimised . They can contest the places.
