5/1
Bounced back to form last time out winning at Fairyhouse last month following a struggle on soft to heavy at Punchestown in November. Sure to go well but wont want too much of a test on this ground.

10/1
Finished a game third of seven beaten 4¼L behind the impressive Blue Empyrean at Naas last month. Can go well with a 5lb penalty.

11/4
C&D winner on his most recent start last month beating six rivals by 4L on soft to heavy. Up 7lb for his efforts but holds strong claims.

8/1
Finished 8L behind Wishmoor last month when finishing third of seven over C&D. Will look to improve for powerful connections in first-time cheekpieces.

Yet to win in seven starts but put in a decent effort when 35L fifth in a beginners contest at Thurles before a game win last time out in a Thurles handicap chase over 2m5½f. Place claims with 6lb penalty.

10/1
Bagged a deserved win last time out in a Punchestown handicap chase over 2m4f on soft to heavy. Should be able to make his presence felt off an 8lb higher mark.

Kilford44
Age: 12|  Weight: 11-0| J: A W Short(5)| T: L Whitmore| OR:  116| D
16/1
Veteran who last won a chase came at Navan in March 2016 and has now slipped to 7lb below his last winning mark. Others make more appeal.

12/1
Course winner that has won over this trip well beaten last time out here in a contest he won the previous year and looks to be regressing.
9
Horse silk
First To Boogie43
Age: 10|  Weight: 10-13| J: Sean Flanagan| T: Madeleine Tylicki| OR:  115| CD
5/1
C&D winner in November taking a 13-runner handicap chase on soft to heavy. Beaten since but still holds place claims back at this track.

Forecasts

Wishmoor (11/4), Close Shave (5/1), First To Boogie (5/1), Kopookris (11/2), Bilko (8/1), Peoples Park (10/1), Bilbo Bagins (10/1), Black Zero (12/1), Kilford (16/1)

Verdict

The game Kilford could be the one to make the early running here and possibly set the contest up for a finish between potential improver Peoples Park, the Jessica Harrington seven-year-old last time out winner Close Shave and WISHMOOR winner of a competitive C&D event two weeks ago.
  1. Wishmoor
  2. Close Shave
  3. Peoples Park
