Well beaten and no impression at Fairyhouse when 54L behind Magic Of Light over 2m5f. Looks a tall order given last run.

Never nearer when third to Champolean on his second hurdles start at Listowel last month before dropped in trip to finish 13th of 22 beaten 46L at Punchestown in October. Others hold stronger profiles.

Getting in to the twilight of his career and his last win came in 2014 when with Thomas James. Well beaten on recent stable debut and may find this tough.

One from 10 over hurdles, the win coming more than two years ago. Well beaten last time out beaten 63L finishing 11th of 12 at Killarney. Will need to improve to figure.

Well beaten 16L on seasonal debut here two weeks ago when finishing ninth of 18 over 2m on yielding ground. Expected to come on for the run.

6/1
Well beaten in three maiden hurdles a total of 67L and makes his handicap debut here off a mark of 105. Market likely to reveal expectations for powerful connections.

The disappointing form of last season continued at Punchestown last month when finishing 20th of 22 beaten 108L before being pulled up at Fairyhouse earlier in the month. Others hold stronger profiles.

20/1
Well beaten on his last two hurdle starts. Course and class winner but still 6lb higher than last winning mark. Worth a market check.

Won over 2m at Cork last month and upped in trip when finishing fourth of 10 beaten 14L behind Granny Biddy. Ask to run over 2m4f again here and may find one or two quicker.

Out of contention when running out in a Clonmel handicap chase last month as beaten favourite before finishing third of 11 last time out at Limerick over a longer trip. Still a lot on his plate here.

Forecasts

Eiri Na Casca (9/2), Turasoir (9/2), Off You Go (6/1), Russian Roulette (6/1), Broder (15/2), Doldido (15/2), Euro So Brave (10/1), Three Kings (10/1), Crazyheart (14/1), Wee Tiger (16/1), Neddyvaughan (20/1), Matin D'anjou (20/1), Take The Cash (20/1), Burning Issues (25/1), Do Be Doin' (25/1), Cappacurry Zak (33/1), Jazz Ranger (33/1)

Verdict

Three Kings and Euro So Brave could possibly take the field along in the early stages of this 2m4f contest. Last time out chase winner EIRI NA CASCA inflicted the only defeat in six over the summer on Granny Biddy and can go close here given that win. Exciting four-year-old Michael Winters-trained Doldido and course winner Turasoir can hit the frame.
  1. Eiri Na Casca
  2. Doldido
  3. Turasoir
