Age: 7|  Weight: 11-12| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott| C
11/4
Won a bumper here last June but some mixed efforts over hurdles after, best one coming at Sligo in heavy ground. Fourth of 12, beaten 16L here last month in maiden hurdle over 2m5½f

Polish Partisant28
Age: 10|  Weight: 11-12| J: Robbie Colgan| T: D Broad| OR:  93
25/1
No wins in 13 starts over hurdles. Unlikely to be ending that run if taking part.

Horse silk
Scotch Begp25
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-5| J: A E Lynch| T: A Oliver| C
8/1
Signs a bit of ability in five bumper runs so far including in first time cheekpieces (retained) when 45L fifth of 17 at Clonmel, before a ½L win beating four rivals here, in a bumper, over 2m3f on good ground.
4
Horse silk
Polymath26
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-4| J: B J Cooper| T: G Elliott| OR:  105
11/4
Made a good fist of it from the front over this C&D two starts back but dropped away disappointingly quickly when back here later in the month, before third of 12, beaten 11L here in maiden hurdle over 2m5½f on good ground.
5
Horse silk
Rueben James46
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-4| J: Sean Flanagan| T: C Bowe
9/1
Winning Point-to-Pointer over 3m. Closely related to Holywell, Johns Spirit and Sausalito Sunrise.
6
Horse silk
Caerleon Kate26
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-11| J: Paul Townend| T: C A McBratney| OR:  93
3/1
Ran well enough over this C&D in March to think there's a race in her soon enough, and no chance at Perth next time. Beaten a nose, second of 12 last day here in maiden hurdle and up 6lb for her efforts.
7
Horse silk
The Bay Birch22
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-11| J: Ricky Doyle(5)| T: F J Flood| OR:  92
7/1
Maiden over timber and unable to get competitive on recent chase bow at Tramore over 2m on good ground, before disappointing at Wexford when 11th of 13, beaten 39L.

Forecasts

Blue Empyrean (11/4), Polymath (11/4), Caerleon Kate (3/1), The Bay Birch (7/1), Scotch Beg (8/1), Rueben James (9/1), Polish Partisan (25/1)

Verdict

The Gordon Elliot-trained, POLYMATH could try and make all here under jockey- Bryan Cooper. Made a good fist of it from the front over this C&D two starts back and can have a few of these in trouble some way out. Scotch Beg, ½L winner, beating four rivals here, in a bumper, over 2m3f on good ground and Caerleon Kate can fill the places.
  1. Polymath
  2. Scotch Beg
  3. Caerleon Kate
