16/1
Distance winner who is one from six over the larger obstacles. Disappointed last time out when fifth of seven at Clonmel over 2m2f. Others make more appeal.

7/1
One from eight over the larger obstacles but has generally struggled on this type of ground. Market likely to reveal expectations.

Mr Boss Man16
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-7| J: A W Short(7)| T: N Slevin| OR:  120
16/1
Winner of a single race from eight chase starts and was last seen in the Galway Blazers handicap chase in August when well beaten 41L. Set to struggle again still 8lb higher than last winning mark.

20/1
Unplaced in five starts for yard (four chases) and not getting any younger. Not won since November 2014 and can't get excited about him here.

6/1
Third of seven beaten 5½L in a Sligo handicap chase in August on yielding to soft ground over 2m1½f. Looks in need of some relief from the handicapper.

Age: 9|  Weight: 10-10| J: Sean Flanagan| T: M McCabe| OR:  109| C
14/1
Eight-race maiden chaser who finished third of 14 beaten 13L last time out in April after leading briefly before being headed two out. Best watched on seasonal debut.

Horse silk
Little Stevie4
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-9| J: D J McInerney(5)| T: E Bolger| OR:  108| BF
5/2
Beaten favourite last time out when finishing third of nine beaten 2L in Cork handicap chase over 2m½f. Expected to return to form here.

Shamiranb,t33
Age: 12|  Weight: 10-2| J: P E Corbett(3)| T: S Nolan| OR:  101
9/1
Career record of 5-82 with all four of his NH victories coming at Punchestown. Yet to win in 20 starts over fences and recent form is not good enough.

Horse silk
Hard Boughtp11
Age: 10|  Weight: 10-0| J: Phillip Enright| T: J J Walsh| OR:  99| C| D
10/3
Has made steady progress in the last month winning a 2m2f handicap chase by 1L at Galway. Up 4lb for that effort and not getting any younger.

Horse silk
Cnoc Na Sioga4
Age: 10|  Weight: 9-11| J: C A Landers(7)| T: J P Ryan| OR:  96
16/1
Veteran that has won in a field of this size but it is over two years since this veteran won and looks a tall order on form shown.

Forecasts

Little Stevie (5/2), Hard Bought (10/3), Eiri Na Casca (6/1), Ronava (7/1), Shamiran (9/1), Asitsohappens (14/1), Goulane Davina (16/1), Mr Boss Man (16/1), Cnoc Na Sioga (16/1), Mister Hotelier (20/1)

Verdict

Asitsohappens will possibly be the lone front runner here in this 2m2f contest with Shamiran and Ronava chasing in second and third. Mr Boss Man will be looking to put his spill last time out behind him and Eiri Na Casca could hit the frame while LITTLE STEVIE is better than his bare figures suggest and can land this contest to win his first chase.
  1. Little Stevie
  2. Mr Boss Man
  3. Eiri Na Casca
