Age: 8|  Weight: 11-7| J: Mark Walsh| T: T Mullins| OR:  127
4/1
Well beaten a total of 214L in his last four chase starts including a 20L defeat behind Bon Papa on soft ground in November over this trip. Claims in this company though.

5/2
Distance winner last time out in a Thurles handicap hurdle on heavy ground last month. Will need to continue his improvement here to take a hand in the finish now back chasing.

Horse silk
Leap Deargt324
Age: 10|  Weight: 10-11| J: C A Landers(7)| T: J Nash| OR:  117| D
10/1
Has disappointed connections in a number of below-par and dismal displays over the larger obstacles including a 21L defeat over this trip in February last year. Will possibly need the run on return to the track.
4
Horse silk
Positive Approach27
Age: 10|  Weight: 10-10| J: Phillip Enright| T: J J Walsh| OR:  116
6/1
Has failed to finish in both of his seasonal chases in December and again last month when falling at the last when still in contention in a Thurles handicap chase over 2m5½f last month. Will need to tidy up his jumping to play a role here.

Horse silk
Soul Kaliberp,t9
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-4| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR:  110
7/2
Has generally disappointed connections in a number of dismal displays over the last two months including a 35L defeat last time out behind Pylonthepressure in a Thurles chase on soft ground earlier this month. Hard to fancy in this company.
6
Horse silk
Tongie21
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-1| J: Danny Mullins| T: P A Fahy| OR:  107
11/4
Finished a fair third at Tramore in a beginners contest in December but failed to complete twice since before a promising second of nine last time out at Fairyhouse last month. One for the shortlist.

Forecasts

Knockraha Pylon (5/2), Tongie (11/4), Soul Kaliber (7/2), Scoir Mear (4/1), Positive Approach (6/1), Leap Dearg (10/1)

Verdict

The Gordon Elliott-trained Soul Kaliber has been getting on with things in his most recent starts and is likely to lead here with Positive Approach and Tongie chasing behind. The pace on the heavy ground could be to the advantage of the Tom Mullins-trained SCOIR MEAR who can land the spoils on handicap debut.
  1. Scoir Mear
  2. Positive Approach
  3. Tongie
