16/1
Course and distance winner, with some solid performances here in the past, notably when winning here in June. Has ground, track and distance conditions in his favour.

Horse silk
50/1
90 rated hurdler who was beaten over 19L on chasing debut last time out Tramore. The gelding is 0/10 on good ground and may need it softer.

8/15
Veteran of four beginners chases, encouraging second of 14 on his last chase start at Roscommon. 14th of 20 last time out over hurdles at the Galway festival.

12/1
Doesn't mind the going or the small fields but the gelding is on a 14-race losing run currently and is one to avoid today.

4/1
Ex-Willie Mullins charge, unable to last home over 2m4f at Kilbeggan on stable debut and does not seem to be improving, given 18L and 27L defeats in last two starts.

50/1
Not seen since being pulled-up in 20-runner handicap hurdle at Down Royal in December. One that is best passed over.

7/1
Won a maiden hurdle in July here over 2m6f, was subsequently fifth of 15 on next start and is swiftly moved to beginners chases.

Forecasts

Jimmy Two Times (8/15), Master Of Verse (4/1), Rueben James (7/1), Little Haarth (12/1), Atlantic Breaker (16/1), Ballinahow Bill (50/1), Mill Forge (50/1)

Verdict

The outsider Ballinahow Bill will possibly take the field along here in the early stages, but it will be only a matter of time before JIMMY TWO TIMES takes up the mantle and goes to win a race that should be well within his grasp. Master Of Verse and Little Haarth are the best of a poor bunch.
  1. Jimmy Two Times
  2. Master Of Verse
  3. Little Haarth
