Winning for the seventh time over hurdles when victorious at Limerick (2m, soft) last month. Raised 6lb for that success and an interesting runner in this contest.

Placed over 2m at Limerick (soft) in October but disappointing since and pulled up at Cork last time out. More needed today.

9/1
Victorious five times in a 30 race career to date and reverts to hurdles having pulled up on two of his last three starts over fences. Worth a check in the market today.

10/1
Successful over fences at Kilbeggan (2m4f, soft) in September and made a satisfactory return to hurdling when third at Limerick (2m, heavy) last time out. Interesting off the same mark today.

12/1
Disappointing since winning a bumper at Fairyhouse (2m, yielding) in March 2016. Well held on handicap debut at Leopardstown last time out and others look to have a more obvious chance today.

9/2
Point-to-point winner and made a winning hurdling debut over an extended 2m3f at Limerick (heavy) last month. One to note on his first outing in handicap company.

Jefferson Davis26
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-7| J: A Ring(3)| T: E Doyle| OR:  113| D
25/1
Dual winner over hurdles but held the last twice and work to do if he's to take this contest off a mark 3lb higher than when victorious at Clonmel (good) last May.

Age: 5|  Weight: 10-5| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR:  111| D
7/2
Winner of both of his starts since joining this yard including on heavy ground over 2m at Tramore last time out. Races off a 9lb higher mark but remains open to improvement and is a leading contender today.

Get Out Of Jailb,t83
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-3| J: M J Bolger| T: J C McConnell| OR:  107| D
22/1
Successful on the Flat at Galway (soft) in the autumn and made a satisfactory return to hurdling when finishing fourth at Wexford (2m, soft) the following month. Returning from a break today.

Horse silk
Cluan Darab20
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-0| J: C A Landers(7)| T: J P Ryan| OR:  104
10/1
Maiden after 17 starts including in 12 outings over hurdles. Respectable efforts on soft and heavy ground in the main of late but likely to find at least one too good today.

Jazz Ranger45
Age: 6|  Weight: 9-10| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: P A Fahy| OR:  100| D
14/1
Sole success in 25 starts came in a juvenile hurdle on heavy ground in December 2015. Well held at Clonmel last time out and more needed today.

Forecasts

Cubomania (7/2), Shower Cross (9/2), Icario (8/1), Westerners Son (9/1), Knockraha Pylon (10/1), Cluan Dara (10/1), Rosie Alice (10/1), Miracle In Medinah (12/1), Jazz Ranger (14/1), Getoutwhenyoucan (16/1), Get Out Of Jail (22/1), Jefferson Davis (25/1)

Verdict

CUBOMANIA is unbeaten in two starts since joining this stable and switching to handicaps and he can complete his hat-trick in this competitive contest. The selection experiences similar conditions to when recording his two previous victories and he can get the better of Rosie Alice who ran well on her return to hurdling last time while last months Limerick winner Shower Cross can finish third on his handicap bow.
  1. Cubomania
  2. Rosie Alice
  3. Shower Cross
