Cowboy Des Long^b³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Phillip Enright| T: J J Mangan

33/1

Point-to-point winner on testing ground but, despite a couple of placed efforts in maiden hurdles, has struggled since moving to handicaps including a heavy defeat behind Poormans Hill in January.

Fire In His Eyes^p,t¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott| OR: 123| D

7/2

Cheekpieces have certainly helped the Stowaway gelding finishing runner-up on the last two occasions. Another bold show looks likely.

16/1

Beaten a total of 84L on his last two starts over 2m and 2m4f. May find this a tough assignment.

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| BF| D

1/5

Lightly raced and caught the eye when finishing second of six on return to the track finishing 6L behind Some Neck here last month. Likely to be a warm order here.

50/1

Last of nine on rules debut in a Punchestown maiden hurdle before a 37L defeat last time and finishing 15th of 19 last month behind Dis Donc at Navan. Unlikely to play a part in the finish.

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: C A Landers⁽⁷⁾| T: M J McDonagh

50/1

Modest point-to-point runner beaten 13L on his last start at Bandon. Vast improvement needed to figure on stable debut.

The Willie Mullins-trained UP FOR REVIEW could take some pegging back here if fully recovered from his return to the track when finishing second of six behind Some Neck last month and can land this in the colours of Andrea and Graham Wylie. The Gordon Elliott-trained Fire In His Eyes is the best of the rest with Paul Nolans Golan Lodge expected to fill third.
