100/1
Pulled-up on chasing debut at Cork on Sunday when always behind and never a factor. Hard to fancy turned out so quickly.

Age: 6|  Weight: 11-7| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins
2/5
Showed plenty of promise in the spring including a win in a Listed mares hurdle at Killarney in May. Likely to be a warm order on chasing bow.

Age: 6|  Weight: 11-7| J: R M Power| T: Mrs J Harrington| BF| C
7/1
Course winner who has struggled in three chase starts including last time out when 44L behind the the impressive Monalee on Saturday. Powerful trainer/jockey trainer combo but really needs to improve to figure.

Horse silk
Blazing West16
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-7| J: Kevin Sexton| T: W J Austin| OR:  105| C
25/1
Well beaten a total of 69L in two chase starts including earlier this month in a Fairyhouse beginners over 2m5f when fifth of 13. Others make more appeal.
5
Horse silk
Conduct Yourself8
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-7| J: Brian Hayes| T: J E Kiely
16/1
Three chase maiden, unseating on debut and beaten a total of 47L on her last two starts both at Fairyhouse over 2m5f. May appreciate drop in trip but needs to improve significantly.
6
Horse silk
Head Turner21
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-7| J: R Loughran| T: P A Fahy
25/1
Weakened before two out on chasing debut at Clonmel earlier in the month beaten 27L when finishing sixth of the seven runners. Vast improvement needed to figure.
7
Horse silk
Leader's Choice49
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-7| J: Sean Flanagan| T: D G Murphy
25/1
Led briefly between the third and second last before fading to finish third of five beaten 5¼L on chasing debut last month at Tramore. Tough ask here and others preferred.
8
Horse silk
Mill Quest14
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-7| J: D E Splaine| T: T O'Brien
33/1
Beaten 66L on chasing debut at Punchestown last month before falling two out when still in touch with the leaders on second start over the larger obstacles earlier this month. Could improve again but tough ask in this company.
9
Horse silk
Oh Me Oh My392
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-7| J: A E Lynch| T: Ms M Flynn
66/1
Not a lot to shout about following a maiden hurdle win on debut in four starts over timber when with Joseph O'Brien. Hard to fancy on stable debut following a long break.
10
Horse silk
Quelle Belle Vie41
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-7| J: P D Kennedy(3)| T: Mrs J Harrington
100/1
Only one win from 16 starts over hurdles and not much encouragement in three runs since joining her leading yard. Best watched on chasing debut.
11
Horse silk
The Green Lady210
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-7| J: R Deegan(7)| T: P A Fahy
13/2
Finished a promising 5L second of nine in a Grade 3 novice hurdle at Limerick in March but lost her way in two subsequent starts. Market likely to reveal expectations.
12
Horse silk
Una's Pleasure14
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-7| J: A McCurtin(5)| T: J J Walsh
66/1
Modest 95-rated hurdler and a well beaten 11th of 16 on chasing debut finishing 30L behind winner Solar Heat. Very little to be positive about.
13
Horse silk
Miss Sassiet14
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-13| J: B J Cooper| T: P Nolan
9/1
Finished third of 15 beaten 7¾L on chasing debut here last month in a race that has produced two winners since. Worth a market check.

Forecasts

Asthuria (2/5), The Green Lady (13/2), Billy's Hope (7/1), Miss Sassie (9/1), Conduct Yourself (16/1), Head Turner (25/1), Blazing West (25/1), Leader's Choice (25/1), Mill Quest (33/1), Una's Pleasure (66/1), Oh Me Oh My (66/1), Quelle Belle Vie (100/1), Absainte (100/1)

Verdict

The mare ASTHURIA will possibly lead in the early stages of this contest having a few of these in trouble some way out. The Willie Mullins-trained six-year-old should be spot on for chasing debut. Miss Sassie on her second chase start is interesting and can grab a place along with the Peter Fahy-trained The Green Lady.
  1. Asthuria
  2. Miss Sassie
  3. The Green Lady
