Kemboy²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins

2/5

Classy novice hurdler last season and finished fifth in a Grade 1 at the Cheltenham Festival in March. Ran well to be second on chase debut earlier this month and is one to note in this contest.

Form: 1257-2

Lacken Bridge⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: J J Slevin| T: C Bowe

40/1

Three times a winner in point-to-points but struggled in two starts over fences so far and likely to prove more competitive once tackling handicaps.

Form: 1F21-04

Screaming Colours^t³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: R Loughran| T: W Durkan

50/1

Point-to-point winner last June but finished well beaten on a bumper when making his rules debut last month and is probably best watched on his first start over fences.

Form: 2-127

Sir Bob²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Mark Walsh| T: R Tyner

50/1

Winner of his sole start in point-to-points but struggled under rules including when beaten 25L in a Tramore novice chase on his debut over the larger obstacles at the start of this month.

Form: 1-76006

Forecasts

Kemboy (2/5), C'Est Jersey (4/1), Cap D'Aubois (7/1), Ballela Boy (10/1), Art Of Synergy (25/1), Lacken Bridge (40/1), Sir Bob (50/1), Screaming Colours (50/1)

KEMBOY boasts some solid form over hurdles and he can get off the mark at the second time of asking in this opening beginners chase. The selection ran well to be second on chase debut recently and can get the better of stablemate C'est Jersey who is another who was a useful novice hurdler last season. Ballella Boy put in a solid effort last time out and he can claim third on this occasion.
