Angus Milanp1,t45
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-12| J: A W Short(7)| T: N C Kelly| OR:  112| C
5/1
Has disappointed connections with a number of desolate handicap chase performances at the back end of the year. First-time cheekpieces but unlikely to play a part in the finish.

Horse silk
Blue Empyreanp24
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-11| J: A Ring(3)| T: R K Watson| OR:  111
11/2
108-rated hurdler has showed plenty of promise in his initial beginners and novice chase starts including second of seven at Tramore before winning on handicap debut at Naas earlier in the month and another bold show looks likely.

Horse silk
Stoughan Crossb,t30
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-9| J: J M Moore| T: T Gibney| OR:  109| D
8/1
Pulled-up in two of his last three starts over the larger obstacles with a 22L coming on his last start when eighth of 12 on New Years Day at Fairyhouse. Others preferred.

Horse silk
Mister Firstp4
Age: 12|  Weight: 11-8| J: D J Hand(7)| T: R Hennessy| OR:  108| D
7/1
Distance winner who has been well beaten in his last three handicap chase starts despite finishing second of nine at Limerick last month. Will need to improve to figure with cheekpieces back on.

Age: 11|  Weight: 11-2| J: R Loughran| T: W J Lanigan| OR:  102| D
16/1
Winner of just one of his 11 chase starts when with trainer Dennis Cullen which came in September 2015. Pulled up on stable debut on an appearance the Alderbrook gelding may have needed but still hard to fancy.
6
Horse silk

Age: 10|  Weight: 10-5| J: A E Lynch| T: S R B Crawford| OR:  91| CD
7/2
C&D winner but that was back on St Stephens Day 2014 when finishing 1L ahead of nine rivals off an 8lb lower mark. May find this a tough assignment.

Horse silk
Shrewdoperatorp,t4(ex 6)
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-5| J: J J Slevin| T: P J Rothwell| OR:  85
2/1
Put a couple of disappointing starts behind him when winning a Fairyhouse handicap chase on Saturday. Carries 6lb extra for his efforts but capable of another big run.

Forecasts

Shrewdoperator (2/1), Ardmillan (7/2), Angus Milan (5/1), Blue Empyrean (11/2), Mister First (7/1), Stoughan Cross (8/1), By The Banks (16/1)

Verdict

Shrewdoperator likes to get on with things from the front and looks the most likely to take the the field along here from the raise of the flag with Stoughan Cross and BLUE EMPYREAN chasing behind. The selection has shown plenty of promise in his initial beginners and novice chase starts and can out-point Angus Milan and Shrewdoperator in this tricky contest.
  1. Blue Empyrean
  2. Angus Milan
  3. Shrewdoperator
