5/6
Leading novice hurdle last time season but proved a disappointment when not jumping well prior to finishing behind Snow Falcon on chase debut at Naas (2m3f, soft-to-heavy) last month. Step up in trip is in his favour today.

20/1
Well beaten in two starts over fences so far including when beaten 37L at Navan (2m4f, soft) last time out. More needed if he's to take this contest.

Handicap hurdle winner here in January last year but disappointing since and probably best watched on his first start over fences.

11/8
Grade 2 winner over hurdles and has run well in two chases so far including when third in a Grade 1 contest at Fairyhouse (2m4f, soft) last time out. Had Bacardys behind him on chase debut last month and he is one for the shortlist today.

Forecasts

Bacardys (5/6), Snow Falcon (11/8), Sutton Place (6/4), Wishmoor (10/1), Chain Gang (20/1), Golan Lodge (33/1)

Verdict

BACARDYS proved a disappointment when finishing third on chase debut but he is sure to have been well schooled since and with that in mind he can get the better of Snow Falcon who finished one place in front of him on that occasion. The selection has won three times at this track already and he can get off the mark over fences in this contest. The useful hurdler Sutton Place can claim third on his first outing since pulling up in a Grade 1 contest in the spring.
  1. Bacardys
  2. Snow Falcon
  3. Sutton Place
