9/2
Won the last of his three starts in bumpers and made a wining debut over timber, following an 11-month absence, at Punchestown but possibly found the step up to Grade 2 company a step too far at Limerick.

4/1
Winner on the Flat in France and ran some respectable races back in the 2014/15 season. Landed a small shock winning at 12/1 on return to the track in June and has been missing since.

7/2
C&D winner last time out earlier this month when beating 13 rivals comfortably taking a maiden hurdle by 4½L. Capable of repeating that win here.

5/2
Made a promising return from a break when finishing third of 18 beaten 8L behind Alletrix in a Leopardstown handicap hurdle earlier this month. Likely to go well in this company.

14/1
Disappointing when a well-beaten favourite on handicap debut at Leopardstown before finishing 11th of 13 beaten 19L here last month plenty to find on recent offerings.

3/1
Bagged a well-deserved win in a Thurles maiden hurdle last month before beaten favourite here earlier in the month in a novice hurdle. Better than last start.

Forecasts

Contingency (5/2), Pete So High (3/1), Best Behavior (7/2), Uradel (4/1), Minella Fair (9/2), Wigs On The Green (14/1)

Verdict

A 78-rated handicapper on the Flat for trainer-Richard Hannon, PETE SO HIGH has taken well to a four-race hurdling campaign since December and can land this contest following a couple of solid efforts at Thurles and here earlier this month. Contingency and Uradel can give the selection the most to think about.
  1. Pete So High
  2. Contingency
  3. Uradel
