Bold Frost^t⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: J J Slevin| T: Bernard Crowley

66/1

Beaten 114L on chasing debut when in rear throughout and never a factor at Thurles earlier this month. Unlikely to play a role in the finish here.

Form: 1/90900

Burgas⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Flanagan| T: N Meade| OR: 134

5/2

Failed to build on a promising run behind Sutton Manor on St Stephens day when finishing well behind Livelovelaugh finishing third of 10 beaten 21L. Place claims though in this company.

Form: 373-323

Hugo 'n Taz^t1¹⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: S A Mulcahy⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan

Won a point-to-point from three starts and pulled-up when last seen at Gowran Park in September last year on chasing debut.

Form: 126-P

Mall Dini³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: D N Russell| T: P G Kelly| OR: 143

11/8

At the head of the market for the four-miler at the Cheltenham festival in March so consequently needs to go well in a race he finished third of 13 in last season.

Form: 235-545

Some Neck³⁹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: D J Mullins| T: W P Mullins

3/1

Well beaten and no impression beaten 70L at Thurles last month when fifth of six over 2m6½f. Excuses are starting to wear thin for this son of Yeats. Hard to fancy on chasing debut.

Form: 22/4215-

Timiyan^t²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G Elliott| C

10/1

Not fluent and tailed off before being pulled-up on chasing debut at Navan over 2m4f on heavy ground last month. Will need to improve to figure in this company.

Form: 11040P

Up For Review⁶⁶⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Danny Mullins| T: W P Mullins| D

6/1

Not seen since winning a Perth novice hurdle over 3m on good ground in April 2016. Difficult to access on chasing debut following a long lay-off.

Forecasts

Mall Dini (11/8), Burgas (5/2), Some Neck (3/1), Up For Review (6/1), Timiyan (10/1), Hugo 'n Taz (50/1), Bold Frost (66/1)

Although not seen for some time Up For Review was known to make the running in the past and could well set the early fractions here with Burgas and Timiyan chasing behind. The race will though revolve around Cheltenham festival four-miler fancy MALL DINI who should really take care of this opposition.
