Course winner that has won over this trip and finished last season with a double at Leopardstown and on heavy ground at Limerick. Has produced some dour performances this season and others preferred.

Distance and class winner but struggled following his maiden win at Downpatrick in September. Tough ask on form to hand.

Not much to shout about last season and in three starts this term when in the hands of Gavin Cromwell. Will need to improve significantly on stable debut.

113-rated chaser winning on final appearance for trainer-Matt Shepherd in October over 2m5f. Market likely to reveal expectations on stable debut.

Course and distance winner finished sixth of eight beaten 16½L at Thurles before being pulled-up on St Stephens Day in a Limerick handicap chase. Claims if bringing best hurdling form to the table.

Best hurdle performance came in September here when second of 22 over 2m6f but ran well to finish fourth of 23 last month in a Navan handicap hurdle. Place claims.

5/1
Progressed on two solid starts in November by winning a 23-runner Navan handicap hurdle last month beating Pack Your Bags a neck. 6lb hike in the weight may not stop him.

Won on a raid to Huntingdon in November beating six rivals by 10L. Beaten and pulled-up since and is now 2lb lower than last win. Has placed on heavy ground.

Age: 6|  Weight: 10-7| J: M P Burke(5)| T: T Doyle| OR:  90
8/1
Without a win over this trip but has produced two promising runs this season both at Thurles in handicap hurdles. Could have a say at the business end of the race.

20/1
Beaten 110L and 46L in her last two starts. Out of her depth here and a torrid time looks on the cards.

Age: 5|  Weight: 10-1| J: Sean Flanagan| T: W J Martin| OR:  88
25/1
Pulled-up in a Wexford handicap hurdle in September before a slightly more promising run on soft ground at Navan last month. Will need to improve again to land a blow here.

48-race maiden now in the veteran stage of his career and two runs here and at Thurles in November were dour efforts. Very little to be positive about.

Mystic Embarrb23
Age: 7|  Weight: 9-11| J: Danny Mullins| T: D Broad| OR:  80
14/1
Without a win in 11 starts over hurdles but a fifth of 23 beaten 7¾L on soft ground in a Navan handicap hurdle last time out was possibly his best performance to date.

Beaten a total of 75L on his last two starts including a 23L defeat at Tipperary over this trip. One to avoid.

Forecasts

Patricks Park (7/4), Glenabo Bridge (5/1), Wee Small Hours (13/2), Cher Why Not (8/1), Rare Legend (8/1), Paper Lantern (10/1), Two In One (10/1), Mystic Embarr (14/1), Flemenstorm (14/1), Heather Moth (20/1), Vellutato (25/1), Floramar (25/1), Glasson Lad (33/1), Oh'herewego (33/1)

Verdict

the likes of Rare Legend, Mystic Ember and Two In One could dispute the lead here with Florama chasing behind. The pace could be beneficial to the likes of closing runners Glenabo Bridge, Wee Small Hours and the selection PATRICKS PARK winner on stable debut for Willie Mullins.
  1. Patricks Park
  2. Glenabo Bridge
