Age: 9|  Weight: 11-8| J: Phillip Enright| T: R Tyner| OR:  114| D
12/1
Distance winner who improved 10lb last season making all the right noises in the process over hurdles. Last of nine in October in a run that the Gold Well gelding may have needed.

Persian Windt14
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-5| J: L P Dempsey| T: J P Dempsey| OR:  111| D
7/2
Hard-to-win-with hurdler who showed a willing attitude to land a minor novice chase at Tramore last month, before unseating on latest chase start when in contention at Naas earlier this month. Not to be discounted.
3
Horse silk
Dont Kick Nor Bite27
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-3| J: Mark Walsh| T: R Tyner| OR:  109| D
4/1
One from seven over the larger obstacles the win coming in a Sligo beginners chase beating seven rivals by 2½L before a second-rate performance last time out at Galway. Needs to improve on last start.

Horse silk
Effernock Lad16
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-3| J: M P Flanagan(5)| T: G Keane| OR:  109| D
9/1
Failed to build on Sligo second with heavy defeats at Galway and Gowran Park before a 17L reversal at Thurles earlier in the month. Others preferred.

Horse silk
Little Stevie16
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-3| J: D J McInerney(5)| T: E Bolger| OR:  109| BF| D
9/2
Beaten favourite when finishing second of 10 at Thurles earlier this month when 11L behind Eiri Na Casca over 2m2f. Improving with every run and worth a market check nere.
6
Horse silk
Shantou Edb14
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-2| J: J S McGarvey| T: P A Fahy| OR:  108| D
10/1
Useful hurdler at best but clearly had his problems, with gaps in his CV, and didn't shown enough in a chase at Sligo in the summer before a heavy defeat last time out at Naas. Looks a tall order.
7
Horse silk
Slemisht120
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-10| J: M A Enright| T: J T R Dreaper| OR:  102
10/3
Not much to shout about in three second-rate chase performances including a 14L defeat on handicap debut earlier this month at Cork. Others hold stronger profiles.
8
Horse silk
Rolling Rocket20
Age: 11|  Weight: 10-8| J: A W Short(7)| T: S Ryan| OR:  100| D
33/1
Now 11-year-old and without a win in almost two years, was out of form over the larger obstacles in March before another below par performance at Cork this month. Looks vulnerable in this company.

Forecasts

Slemish (10/3), Persian Wind (7/2), Dont Kick Nor Bite (4/1), Little Stevie (9/2), Effernock Lad (9/1), Shantou Ed (10/1), Concordin (12/1), Rolling Rocket (33/1)

Verdict

Possible lone speed here from PERSIAN WIND in the early stages of this 2m contest and could have a couple of his opponents in trouble some way out. The seven-year-old was still in contention when unseating last time out when looking to follow up on a win at Tramore last month. Little Stevie and Don't Kick Nor Bite can land the minor honours.
  1. Persian Wind
  2. Little Stevie
  3. Dont Kick Nor Bite
