Barna Gallery¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: A Ring⁽³⁾| T: D Hogan

50/1

Has disappointed connections in a number of drab point-to-point displays over the last five months and easily opposed on stable debut.

Form: PU-5355

Caoimhe Diva^h⁸¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Phillip Enright| T: D Howard

33/1

Placed in a point-to-point but no show over hurdles subsequently including a 121L defeat last time out over C&D. May find this a tough assignment.

Form: FP-8077

Fintara^t¹¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: R M Power| T: Mrs J Harrington

4/1

Looks ready for this switch to chasing having won Punchestown bumper last January but become frustrating over hurdles. Represents top team and won't be too far away with a clear round.

Form: 4-42904

Kiera Royale^t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: P E Corbett⁽³⁾| T: D H Kelly| OR: 104

5/1

Third at 50/1 in beginners chase at Clonmel in December but remains a maiden after 21 outings. Unseated rider last time out in a Clonmel handicap chase. Needs to improve jumping to play a role.

Form: 63826U

Swift²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Katie O'Farrell⁽⁷⁾| T: J W Nicholson| OR: 94

10/1

Failed to build on debut hurdle start at Down Royal in January when finishing sixth of 11 beaten 60L at Fairyhouse last month. Very little to be positive about.

Form: 200026

Synopsis³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott

15/8

Has generally disappointed on two occasions when winning a Punchestown novice hurdle over 2m in November. Needs to improve over this trip.

Form: 905-170

The Green Lady²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: R Loughran| T: P A Fahy

5/2

Completed for the first time in five chase starts when finishing 22L behind West Bridge in a Fairyhouse chase over 2m 5f. Others hold stronger profiles.

Form: 9-BF8F4

Forecasts

Synopsis (15/8), The Green Lady (5/2), Fintara (4/1), Kiera Royale (5/1), Swift (10/1), Caoimhe Diva (33/1), Barna Gallery (50/1)

Pace in the early stages of the race is likely to come from Swift with possibly Jessica Harringtons Fintara chasing behind. The speed on the ground of the leader could set the race up for the likes of The Green Lady and the Gordon Elliott-trained SYNOPSIS who, based on his novice handicap hurdle win in November, should be too strong for the opposition off level weights here.
