20/1

Distance winner who improved 10lb last season making all the right noises in the process, though did disappoint on latest start in March. Has needed first run of the season in the past.

4/1

Tried over a variety of distances but best form generally at under 2m4f. Not disgraced when third at Listowel, before third of 11 at Galway earlier in the month. One for the shortlist.

Form: 30-6033

Rocky Court^t¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: D F O'Regan| T: S J Mahon| OR: 115

20/1

Has been kept on the go during a summer jumping campaign over the last couple of months without troubling the judge. Looks a tall order on form shown.

Canny Tom^t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G Elliott| OR: 112

7/1

Solid and consistent over the summer during a busy campaign that has included two wins at Tramore over hurdles and last time out in a Downpatrick beginners chase. Has been given a fair mark and can go well here.

Dont Kick Nor Bite⁸¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Mark Walsh| T: R Tyner| OR: 110

9/2

One from six over the larger obstacles the win coming in her last start in a Sligo beginners chase beating seven rivals by 2½L. Up 3lb for that effort but can continue improvement here.

Form: 391-141

Crocodile Dundee^h²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Paul Townend| T: T Cooper| OR: 109

9/2

Arrives on a hat-trick following his maiden hurdle win quickly followed by a handicap chase win at Tipperary. The 6lb rise may not be enough to stop him here.

Form: P22311

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: Sean Flanagan| T: Madeleine Tylicki| OR: 107

8/1

Kept stronger company over hurdles in the latter half of last season after progressing early in the campaign. Well beaten on seasonal debut in a Punchestown handicap chase.

Coolbane West²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Danny Mullins| T: W J Burke| OR: 104

11/1

Well beaten and no impression in four chase appearances over the summer. Looks a tall order on recent form shown.

Hard Bought^p1¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-3| J: Phillip Enright| T: J J Walsh| OR: 95| D

9/1

Looked to take a step forward earlier this month when finishing fourth of 16 beaten 3L in a Thurles handicap chase. More needed but possible in first-time cheekpieces.

Forecasts

Show And Go (4/1), Crocodile Dundee (9/2), Dont Kick Nor Bite (9/2), Canny Tom (7/1), First To Boogie (8/1), Hard Bought (9/1), Eiri Na Casca (10/1), Coolbane West (11/1), Rocky Court (20/1), Concordin (20/1)

Rocky Court and Don't Kick Nor Bite could take each other on for the lead here in the early stages of the contest. SHOW AND GO can build on his last two starts finishing third on both occasions in better contests than this at Listowel and Galway. The Gordon Elliott-trained Canny Tom and the hat-trick seeking Crocodile Dundee can grab a place.
