11/2
Lightly raced, she opened her account over hurdles at the fifth attempt when winning over an extended 2m4f at Wexford. Beaten 2L when sent off favourite for a similar event last time, the step up to 3m1f could bring about further improvement.

Maiden appears to have lost his way a little. Was in touch when coming down two out over 3m at Fairyhouse back in January but was soundly beaten dropping back to 2m last time. Extra distance will suit and has decent claims.

Age: 8|  Weight: 11-8| J: S E Butler(5)| T: S Fahey| OR:  91
9/1
He is a winner between the flags but has yet to really impress in races over hurdles, beaten 25L in a race over this distance last time. Has a bit to find but is not without a chance.

Age: 11|  Weight: 11-8| J: R Loughran| T: T Hogan| OR:  91| CD
10/1
A Point-to-point winner, he has a fairly useful record over fences, winning three times between 2m6f and 3m1f. Placed four times in 11 career starts over hurdles, he shaped well last time out following a heavy fall in his previous race and confidence should be restored.

25/1
Was a well-backed favourite in three of his early races on the Flat but he failed to deliver and remains a maiden on the level and over timber. Long odds in his most recent starts, he is sent over much further tonight.

Mileys Dream21
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-7| J: D E Mullins| T: J Long| OR:  90
10/1
Easy winner of a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Listowel back in September but she ended 2016 with two poor runs. Not beaten that for on her seasonal bow at Listowel earlier this month, she is likely to come on for that run.

Age: 5|  Weight: 11-6| J: Brian Hayes| T: J J Hanlon| OR:  89
20/1
Her only win to date in 16 career starts came at Towcester back in November when she captured a 2m novices' handicap chase. Her jumping has let her down on occasions and she dropped away tamely last time after an early error. Needs her best.
8
Horse silk
Courtin Bb24
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-5| J: C D Timmons(3)| T: P J Duffy| OR:  88
5/1
She has taken a while to come to hand but after a promising effort in an extended 2m3f event at Clonmel, she duly opened her account with victory in a 2m5f handicap hurdle at Tramore last time. More to do here but arrives in great heart.

Age: 6|  Weight: 11-5| J: Ricky Doyle(7)| T: R O'Leary| OR:  88| BF
15/2
Opened her account over timber with a cosy success at Thurles in December, in a race just short of 3m. She appeared to be well held when brought down at the last on her most recent run but is not without a chance here.

Select Opportunity39
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-2| J: A W Short(7)| T: E Cawley| OR:  85
33/1
Sent off at odds of 100/1 in his first four starts over hurdles, showing little in the way of ability. Made his debut in handicap company last time and although he was soundly beaten, he was sent off at 14/1. Needs to improve to score here.
11
Horse silk
Milestone Prince8
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-1| J: J J Slevin(5)| T: M McCullagh| OR:  84
5/1
Has shown a degree of promise in his most recent races, most notably last time out when beaten 7L by Station Closed at Downpatrick earlier this month. Certainly has the ability to win races.

Baby Moonp1,t127
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-0| J: B Browne(7)| T: S K Ryder| OR:  83
25/1
Three runs over timber so far have seen little in the way of ability and she has been sent off at long odds in all three races. Difficult to fancy.
13
Horse silk
Clonleneyt9
Age: 11|  Weight: 11-0| J: A E Lynch| T: A Murray| OR:  83
12/1
He has been placed four times in 20 career starts but so far he has failed to fins the winners' circle. Went desperately close to breaking his duck at Downpatrick in March 2016 and caught the eye back there recently following a lengthy absence. Could go well.

Horse silk
Country Capersp1,t39
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-11| J: Phillip Enright| T: S Ryan| OR:  80
25/1
Has failed to reach a place in all 10 career starts so far and although he led for a long way on his penultimate start, he remains a maiden. Steps up in trip here but others appear to have stronger claims.
15
Horse silk
Kilderry Prince24
Age: 9|  Weight: 10-11| J: C Brassil(5)| T: A J McNamara| OR:  80
12/1
Points winner held on well to open his account over hurdles when scoring over 2m6f at Downpatrick in May. Ran well under a penalty last time but looked held when coming to grief two out. Not without a chance and is in good heart.

Take A Chance On Rh,t261
Age: 9|  Weight: 10-11| J: J B Kane(5)| T: G B Caldwell| OR:  80
33/1
She is often available at long odds and has nothing worthwhile in the form book and has yet to reach as much as a place. Has plenty to find here and others have stronger claims.

Forecasts

Milestone Prince (5/1), Courtin Bb (5/1), Kiln Rock (11/2), Chapelier (6/1), Queeny (15/2), Caniwillyegiveme (9/1), Coolnagorna Giggs (10/1), Let's Twist Again (10/1), Mileys Dream (10/1), Court Adjourned (11/1), Clonleney (12/1), Kilderry Prince (12/1), Adarenna (20/1), Alamgiyr (25/1), Country Capers (25/1), Catch A Lucky Star (25/1), Baby Moon (25/1), Select Opportunity (33/1), Take A Chance On R (33/1)

Verdict

The two at the top of the handicap will have plenty of supporters with a slight preference for Kiln Rock over Let's Twist Again, the former having scored well on her penultimate run. CLONLENEY is an interesting runner. Still a maiden under rules, he ran a brilliant race when touched off at Downpatrick back in March 2016 and he caught the eye on his last run following a lengthy break. Looks well worth an interest here and could finally open his account. Kilderry Prince is in good heart and is another worth a second look.
