10/1
Won a NH Flat race here in April and scored well on his hurdles debut at Punchestown. On a hat-trick mission and is sure to run a big race.

9/1
Lightly raced but has shown consistent form, scoring over timber by an easy 9L last time out. An improving sort, he will not lack support this evening.

9/4
Impressive winner of a Bumper at Roscommon over 2m4f last month and followed that with victory in a 2m hurdle at Limerick. Longer trip should suit and he is one for any shortlist.

13/2
Beaten a long way when sent off at odds of 7/2 for a Stratford Bumper in April and was beaten a long way at Punchestown next time. Step up to 3m at the same venue saw a huge improvement as he scored at 33/1. Will be a lot shorted tonight.

100/1
Failed to complete the course in three Point-to-point races and beat one horse home in a Wexford Bumper on his most recent start. Faces a stiff test, moves up in trip.

Baily Moonp,t33

11/1
Has shown ability in races over hurdles and fences, securing his opening success when landing a beginners' chase last time out under Paul Townend. Open to further improvement back over the smaller obstacles.

Didarro85
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-3| J: P E Corbett(3)| T: P W Flynn
33/1
A winner of three Point-to-points so far in nine attempts, he arrives in good heart following a 6L all-the-way romp over 3m last time. Makes a debut under rules and is one to consider.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-3| J: D N Russell| T: R J McGrath| OR:  109
10/1
Fairly useful in Point-to-points, winning twice and she opened her account over hurdles at Tramore last time, winning by just under 5L over 2m5f. In good heart and entitled to run another good race.

Miss Sapphire22
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-3| J: Danny Mullins| T: W P Mullins| BF
9/4
She has yet to be out of the frame in five starts to date, landing a Limerick Bumper on debut and scoring over hurdles at Wexford in May. Big step up in distance this evening but her supporters will be back after she was beaten on this track last time.

Mozilla17
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-10| J: J J Slevin(5)| T: Miss E Doyle
66/1
Has a couple of third places to her name but has been beaten out of sight on each of her last three starts. Faces a stiff test here moving up to 3m and needs a big improvement in form to score.

Forecasts

Miss Sapphire (9/4), Mr Showtime (9/4), Tourboy (13/2), Foxearth (9/1), Ben Brody (10/1), Kings Dolly (10/1), Baily Moon (11/1), Didarro (33/1), Mozilla (66/1), Artic Quest (100/1)

Verdict

The Willie Mullins-trained Miss Sapphire has already shown plenty of ability and is one with excellent claims, stepping up in trip. Didarro has been in superb form between the flags winning his last three races and could go well on his debut under rules. Mr Showtime and Ben Brody both have outstanding hat-trick claims but the vote goes to FOXEARTH. He has not had a lot of racing but the manner of his latest win at Downpatrick suggests that there is a lot more to come.
