Off time: 15:41 | Winning time: 4m 0.20s

Bazarov¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr S F O'Keeffe⁽⁷⁾| T: J O Clifford

50/1

Only moderate form in point-to-points (finished fifth at Lingstown two weeks ago most recently), and needs to come one from those performances on debut under rules.

Form: 7P-45

Castiel

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Liam McKenna⁽⁷⁾| T: M Phelan

50/1

Martaline gelding who cost €8,500 as a three-year-old. Half-brother to a couple of bumper winners but pedigree generally unexciting and others preferred.

Form:

Dinons²³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr J J Codd| T: G Elliott

9/4

Not beaten far into second by a nice prospect in Red Jack on debut at Fairyhouse in April. Off since but this is easier and looks a good opportunity for him to get off the mark.

Form: 2-

Downtown Getaway

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Katie Walsh| T: Ms M Mullins

14/1

Getabird half-brother to a three time winner over hurdles, though those all came over longer trips than this and he may appreciate more of a test in time.

Form:

Extrapolate²⁷³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Ms L O'Neill⁽⁵⁾| T: G Elliott

12/1

Pulled-up in two point-to-points, but represents top connections and every chance that he could do better on this debut under rules.

Form: PP-

Forty One Winks

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: J P O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: A Mullins

16/1

Getaway gelding who cost €32,000 as a foal. From the family of Glens Melody and Glens Harmony and perhaps one of the likelier newcomers.

Form:

Fr Gilligansvoyge⁹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: D J Hand⁽⁷⁾| T: J G Carr

33/1

Beaten 22L into fifth of eight on debut at Roscommon in September, and needs to improve from that in order to play a part in this.

Form: 5

Heroesandvillains²³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Ms N Carberry| T: N Meade

6/1

Point-to-point winner who makes his debut under rules here. Should probably be better over further in time but still looks a nice prospect.

Form: 3U1-

Imperial Grey

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins

3/1

€70,000 purchase as a three-year-old who has a nice pedigree. Represents a top trainer and one to watch on this racecourse debut.

Form:

Lone Wolf

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr D O'Connor| T: J P O'Brien

7/1

Gold Well gelding who cost €33,000 as a three-year-old, and is worth a check in the market on debut for top connections.

Form:

Moonshine Bay²¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Miss K Harrington⁽³⁾| T: Mrs J Harrington

7/1

Point-to-point winner who makes his debut under rules here for a top trainer. Cost £120,000 in June and is an interesting newcomer.

Form: 4-1

Nameloc³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: C M Leonard⁽⁷⁾| T: P A Fahy

50/1

Finished fourth at Wexford last time which was a big improvement on his Navan debut, but a similar step up will be required for him to enter contention here.

Form: 0-4

Remastered²⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr F Maguire⁽³⁾| T: Miss E Doyle| BF

10/1

Failed to build on the promise shown on debut when finishing only sixth at Limerick in March (had been even money favourite). Needs to improve on that here.

Form: 26-

Zara's Ranger

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: A W Short⁽⁷⁾| T: E D Delany

33/1

Bushranger Gelding with a fair pedigree, related to lots of winners including of some good races on the Flat, but relations have been less impressive under National Hunt rules.

Form:

Mollys Boxty

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: C A Landers⁽⁷⁾| T: J G Carr

33/1

Kalanisi filly who cost €2,200 as a three-year-old, and comes from a yard not renowned for its winners in these contests.

Form:

Forecasts

Dinons (9/4), Imperial Grey (3/1), Heroesandvillains (6/1), Lone Wolf (7/1), Moonshine Bay (7/1), Remastered (10/1), Extrapolate (12/1), Downtown Getaway (14/1), Forty One Winks (16/1), Fr Gilligansvoyge (33/1), Zara's Ranger (33/1), Mollys Boxty (33/1), Nameloc (50/1), Castiel (50/1), Bazarov (50/1)

The form of the bumper DINONS was runner-up in back in April is working out well, and he looks to be the one to side with on his second start here. Representing a top trainer in Gordon Elliott, he is also ridden by a talented amateur in Jamie Codd and should find this easier than his debut effort. Point-to-point winner Moonshine Bay and Willie Mullins newcomer Imperial Grey are others to consider.
