16/1
Made a winning debut for this yard over 2m1f at Kelso (good) last month. Races off a 7lb higher mark on this occasion and worth a check in the betting today.

Winner of a four runner novice chase over 2m4f here on yielding ground last September. Returning from over five months off the track when finishing a respectable fifth at the Cheltenham Festival in March and makes his handicap debut over fences here.

8/1
Winner of his first two starts for this yard and narrowly headed when falling two from home at the Cheltenham Fesitval last time out. Has been beaten off much lower marks over hurdles and interesting to see how he fares in this.

Beaten 3L off this mark in a handicap chase at Ballinrobe (good) last month. Amateur ridden on that occasion and likely to appreciate this step up in trip.

12/1
Rattled off four wins on the spin over hurdles in 2015 but yet to score over fences. Beaten 2½L over 2m5f at Leopardstown (good) in a valuable 18 runner contest in January and probably found the going against him at the same course subsequently.

Age: 8|  Weight: 10-6| J: Mark Walsh| T: T J Taaffe| OR:  127
7/1
Ran well when fourth of 14 over 2m4f at Punchestown (good-to-yielding) in April. Races off a mark 5lb higher than for his latest success and worth a check in the market here.

5/1
Successful back over hurdles off a much lower mark at Ballinrobe (good) over 2m4f last week. Returns to fences today but has looked in the grip of the handicapper in recent chase starts.

20/1
Third in a Grade 3 contest over 3m at Cork (good-to-yielding) in April but disappointed at Punchestown back over 2m4f ten days later. Best form has come on a softer surface than is forecast here.

Age: 10|  Weight: 10-3| J: D F O'Regan| T: G Elliott| OR:  124
12/1
Beaten 3L off this mark in a seven runner contest over 2m4f at Kilbeggan (yielding-to-soft) last month. Represents a leading stable here but others make more appeal at present.

25/1
Lightly raced since winning a maiden hurdle on rules debut on heavy ground at Limerick in December 2014. Pulled up on last three starts over fences and likely best watched unless attracting market support.

Age: 6|  Weight: 10-2| J: Phillip Enright| T: J Dullea| OR:  123

Winner of his penultimate start in a beginners chase at Limerick (soft) over an extended 2m3f in April. Ran a decent race when third upped in trip at Killarney last time and making his handicap debut over fences here.

Beaten 13L over 2m1f at Ballinrobe (good) a month ago. Entitled to improve for his first start in over a year and worth a check in the market today.

Age: 10|  Weight: 9-11| J: Ms L O'Neill(5)| T: G Elliott| OR:  118

Better efforts the last twice given he still held chances when falling at Fairyhouse in April and followed that up with a fourth at Down Royal (good-to-firm) over 2m4f last month. Good amateur rider takes the ride here.

Forecasts

Deans Road (4/1), Hurricane Ben (9/2), Ronava (5/1), Polidam (6/1), Peoples Park (7/1), Lucky Pat (8/1), Killiney Court (8/1), Tikkanen Express (9/1), Cecil Corbett (12/1), Turn Over Sivola (12/1), Damut (12/1), Gentleman Duke (16/1), King's Wharf (16/1), Benemeade (16/1), Boher Call (20/1), Winter Magic (20/1), Catalaunian Fields (20/1), My Hometown (25/1)

Verdict

KILLINEY COURT is one of two runners for the powerful Henry De Bromhead yard who have won this race twice in the last three years. The selection fell when contesting a valuable Listed novices handicap chase at Cheltenham last time and can take this at the chief expense of the top weight Hurricane Ben who has been running well of late. King's Wharf made a winning debut for his new yard last time out and can claim third today.
  1. Killiney Court
