Inis Meain²²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: D G Hogan| T: D Hogan| OR: 122| C

25/1

Popular veteran who has been in the hands of connections since 2011 and still runs with plenty of gusto in his races but frequently finds a couple a little too quick for him these days.

Form: 27-3396

Jett⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Paul Townend| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 142

10/11

Looked to be back to his novice chase form when destroying 12 rivals at Thurles last time out winning as he liked by 16L and is open to more improvement here.

Form: U424-41

Tombstone²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| BF

1/1

Beaten favourite in a Grade 2 four runner contest last time out when trying to follow up a fine win at Down Royal last month. The one to beat.

Form: 038-212

Cheiliuradh^t³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Sean Flanagan| T: D H Kelly| OR: 102

66/1

Not a lot to shout about in five chase starts this season and requires a chunk of improvement to play a role here.

Form: 4-54647

Forecasts

Jett (10/11), Tombstone (1/1), Inis Meain (25/1), Cheiliuradh (66/1)

The make-up of Tombstone will be put to the test here by the improving JETT who slaughtered his 12 rivals last time out in an impressive performance at Thurles last month. The Gordon Elliott-trained seven-year-old has been beaten in four of his six races in fields of this size and comes here with his backbone very much in question.
