Dare To Endeavour53
Age: 10|  Weight: 11-10| J: R P Treacy(5)| T: E McNamara| OR:  120
12/1
Popular veteran who looks like his best days are firmly behind him failing to finish four of his last six starts over hurdles and the larger obstacles. Others preferred.

Smokey Joe Joet146
Age: 11|  Weight: 11-10| J: R T Dunne| T: S J Mahon| OR:  120| CD
8/1
C&D winner who has also won on heavy and in this class in the past. Well beaten 17th of 19 last time out at the Galway festival but this is more his company and worth a market check.
3
Horse silk
Toushan254
Age: 10|  Weight: 11-10| J: Kevin Sexton| T: Peter Fahey| OR:  120
5/2
Two from 12 chase starts for trainer Tom Foley but looks to have lost his form recently falling in his last two starts. Move to new yard may freshen him up.
4
Horse silk
Kilford227
Age: 11|  Weight: 11-9| J: A W Short(7)| T: L Whitmore| OR:  119
8/1
Veteran who last won a chase came at Navan in March 2016 and has now slipped to 4lb below his last winning mark. Others make more appeal.
5
Horse silk
Some Dramap,t25
Age: 10|  Weight: 11-7| J: Robbie Colgan| T: D A McLoughlin| OR:  117| C
6/1
Winner of a four-runner contest at Sligo in September but has failed to finish in three subsequent starts. Claims if he has tidied up his jumping.
6
Horse silk
Canalyb27
Age: 12|  Weight: 11-4| J: Keith Donoghue| T: Mrs D Foster| OR:  114
16/1
In good form at the start of this year but his performances have dipped markedly and his last three efforts leave an awful lot to be desired. Tough ask on form shown.
7
Horse silk
Lisclogher Lad18
Age: 10|  Weight: 11-2| J: A McCurtin(5)| T: S G Walsh| OR:  112
4/1
Without a win over the larger obstacles from 16 starts and has unseated in his last two starts. Needs to tidy up his jumping to play a role here.
8
Horse silk
Mister First14
Age: 11|  Weight: 11-0| J: A E Lynch| T: R Hennessy| OR:  110
7/1
Has now dropped 15lb lower than his last winning mark and who is without a win in 19 starts at this trip. Tough ask and others preferred.

Horse silk
By The Bankst406
Age: 10|  Weight: 10-9| J: Danny Mullins| T: W J Lanigan| OR:  105
12/1
Winner of just one of his 11 chase starts when with trainer Dennis Cullen which came in September 2015. May appreciate change of scenery on stable debut.

Forecasts

Toushan (5/2), Lisclogher Lad (4/1), Some Drama (6/1), Mister First (7/1), Kilford (8/1), Smokey Joe Joe (8/1), Dare To Endeavour (12/1), Ibetellingyoualie (12/1), By The Banks (12/1), Canaly (16/1)

Verdict

Kilford and Lisclogher Lad both like to get on with things and should ensure a decent pace on for this veterans chase. The front-runners could set the race up for a solid jumper in the shape of BY THE BANKS who could well appreciate his change of scenery on stable debut. C&D winner Smokey Joe Joe and Toushan could be the biggest dangers to the selection.
  1. By The Banks
  2. Smokey Joe Joe
  3. Toushan
