Odds
Horse A-Z
Winning point-to-pointer who has been well held on both starts over fences and took a keen hold last time. Shrewd stable likely to get the best out of him in time, but he looks one to oppose for now.
Seventh of eight, beaten quite a long way, on his only start in a point to point. Showed some promise before weakening, but is best watched on this debut over fences.

7/1
Won his only point-to-point, but has been beaten a long way in both starts over fences. Cannot be recommended until showing more.
Unplaced in six starts over hurdles, he now tries his hand at chasing. Nothing to suggest he is likely to take a big leap forward.

7/1
Good deal of promise on his last two starts over hurdles and returns from a break to go chasing. One of the more likely types in an ordinary contest.
6
Horse silk
66/1
Failed to win in 11 starts over hurdles and was well held when last seen in March. Goes over the bigger obstacles with plenty to prove.

16/1
Bumper winner who has run eight times over hurdles without winning. Not disgraced when last seen at this track in July and may do better now he is switched to chasing.
8
Horse silk
6/1
Winner of one of his three bumpers, but failed to confirm that promise in seven runs over hurdles. Well-held third of five on his fencing debut at Sligo and is respected for his top stable with the prospect of improvement to come.

12/1
Clear signs of ability over fences and hurdles, but is 0-14 and connections reach for cheekpieces in a bid to end that winless sequence. Each-way shout.
Two wins in three bumpers, but 0-5 over hurdles. Makes his debut over fences and could be in the thick of the action if he takes to the bigger obstacles.
Point-to-point winner who has made two starts over fences, finishing second on her latest outing at Thurles. Made mistakes that day and can make her presence felt if producing a cleaner round of jumping.

Forecasts

Without Limites (5/6), Robin Des Mana (6/1), Goose Man (7/1), Fitzhenry (7/1), Youcantcallherthat (10/1), The Church Gate (12/1), Play The Part (16/1), Danboru (50/1), Enduring Love (66/1), Highest Benefit (66/1), Fleetwood Jack (66/1)

Verdict

Not the strongest of beginners' chases and one that can go to fencing debutant GOOSE MAN, who showed promise on his last two starts over hurdles and can collect for a stable which does well with its chasers. Robin Des Mana represents a top team and is respected, while others to consider are Youcantcallherthat, The Church Gate and Without Limites.
