Odds
Horse A-Z
1
Horse silk
7/1
Dual bumper winner who has shown clear signs of talent in three races over hurdles. Sure to pick up a race before too long, but faces some tough opposition.
2

Monkshood239
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott
8/13
Promise in a couple of maiden hurdles before winning a bumper at Clonmel by 12L. Reverts to timber and looks a promising sort for his leading stable/owner.
3
Horse silk
5/1
Odds-on favourite when making a winning start in a bumper at Clonmel. Sure to have been well prepared for his hurdling debut by powerful stable and is of serious interest.
4
Horse silk
33/1
Point-to-point winner who has shown a degree of promise in two maiden hurdles. Should do better in time, but this looks a tough assignment.
5
Horse silk
33/1
Not without promise in a point-to-point and three bumpers, he now makes his hurdling debut. Looks the second string behind Monkshood for successful owner.
6

Getaway Kid176
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-4| J: J M Moore| T: N Meade| BF
12/1
Has been tried over a variety of distances in four outings over hurdles and has generally run with credit. Beaten at odds-on last time, however, and may be vulnerable to one or two of promising rivals.

Up For Discussion21
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-4| J: Mark Walsh| T: E Bolger| OR:  106| BF
13/2
Hit the frame for the first time in seven attempts over hurdles at this track last time. Going the right way, but may be bumping into some talented opposition.
8
Horse silk
50/1
Won the second of his two point-to-points, but was well beaten in a bumper at Cork. Makes his debut over hurdes for top stable which looks to have a stronger contender in Monkshood.
9
Horse silk
Whispering Affair42
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-11| J: A E Lynch| T: S R B Crawford| OR:  101
25/1
Placed in a couple of hurdles in Britain, but they were not the strongest of contests. Needs to do more if she is to make an impact.

Forecasts

Monkshood (8/13), Sois Gentil (5/1), Up For Discussion (13/2), Go Another One (7/1), Getaway Kid (12/1), Whispering Affair (25/1), Ceatharlach (33/1), Coeur De Beauchene (33/1), Thisonesforollie (50/1)

Verdict

Several of these have small races in them, but there looks to be two stand-out contenders in Monkshood and SOIS GENTIL. It could be close between the pair who represent powerful stables, but the latter was heavily backed and had been clearly showing plenty before making a winning debut in a bumper and can make a winning debut over timber. Getaway Kid may do best of the rest.
  1. Sois Gentil
  2. Monkshood
  3. Getaway Kid
