Off time: 14:46 | Winning time: 4m 15.30s

Cash In Mind²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Danny Mullins| T: D Donovan

8/1

Won three times on the Flat in France, but has yet to score for his current trainer and attempts hurdling for the first time. Could be a factor if he takes to it.

Form:

Lusis Naturea¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: C D Maxwell| T: Eoin Barry

50/1

Fair AW Flat performer who was well held on his debut for this trainer in a maiden hurdle at Navan. Much more needed.

Form: P55/F-0

Roaring Bull¹⁶¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-8| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott| D

2/7

Looked a horse with a future when winning a Punchestown bumper on his debut. Will have been well schooled for his hurdling debut and looks a major player.

Form: 1-

Charlie's Charm¹⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: G N Fox| T: G P Cromwell

33/1

Not much to shout about in two bumpers and a maiden hurdle when trained in England. Plenty to prove on his debut for this trainer.

Form: 94-4

Cowboy Des Long^p¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Paul Townend| T: J J Mangan

9/1

Winning point-to-pointer who showed some promise when third of nine on his hurdling bow at Listowel. Should improve for the outing and has an each-way shout.

Form: P4210-3

Danse Away¹⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: S J Gray⁽³⁾| T: T J Nagle-Jr

7/1

Won one of his six point-to-points and not without promise in a couple of bumpers. One of the more likely sorts on his hurdling debut.

Form: 23124-4

Mustmeetforapint¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: M A Enright| T: E P Harty

100/1

Has shown little in three maiden hurdles outings and was sent off at 100-1 when down the field at Navan last time. Readily opposed.

Form: 7P0

Seskin Flyer²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: A Ring⁽³⁾| T: P Carey

100/1

Placed three times in point-to-points, but two hurdles outings have not been encouraging. Another with plenty to prove.

Form: 2-R2279

Sheperds Cave¹²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: D G Hogan| T: D Hogan

33/1

Latest of two point-to-point outings saw him finished third of 16 at Ballingarry. That showed he has ability and he now needs to translate that to hurdles.

Form: 63

Tungsten Kid³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: B J Foley⁽⁵⁾| T: J Brassil

100/1

Beaten a long way in two maiden hurdles and a bumper. Cannot be considered until he shows much more.

Form: 000

Wigs On The Green²⁷⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Mark Walsh| T: M F Morris

20/1

Son of Robin Des Champs out of a Beneficial mare, so bred for this job. Sent off at 66-1 when a first-flight faller on debut at Leopardstown in December so best watched on this occasion.

Form: F-

Keep Rocking¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Sean Flanagan| T: James King

100/1

Son of successful sire Westerner who beat only one rival in a Ballinrobe bumper last month. Tries hurdling and needs to show big improvement.

Form: 6

Swipe West

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: B T O'Connell| T: D Leahy

66/1

Son of Westerner whose dam won a point-to-point. Makes some appeal on paper and market will probably be the best guide to his chance on debut.

Forecasts

Roaring Bull (2/7), Danse Away (7/1), Cash In Mind (8/1), Cowboy Des Long (9/1), Wigs On The Green (20/1), Charlie's Charm (33/1), Sheperds Cave (33/1), Lusis Naturea (50/1), Swipe West (66/1), Seskin Flyer (100/1), Tungsten Kid (100/1), Mustmeetforapint (100/1), Keep Rocking (100/1)

Many of these looks to be works in progress and there appears to be a stand-out contender in ROARING BULL, who landed a Punchestown bumper on debut and should be too good for his rivals if taking to hurdles. Fair Flat performer Cash In Mind is interesting on his hurdling debut, while others to consider are Cowboy Des Long, Danse Away and Sheperds Cave.
