100/1
Failed to finish in two point-to-point starts before finishing 13th of 16 jumping left most of the time in a Clonmel maiden hurdle last month. Looks up against it in this company.

5/2
Policy Maker gelding out of a Cadoudal mare related to Big Bucks and Long Run along with money-spinning French winner Roll On Has. Likely to be a warm order.

11/8
Solid and consistent in finishing positions with the manner of defeat and losing distances a worry, well beaten over 10L in his last four starts despite grabbing a place on each occasion.

Cluan Dara38

9/1
19-race maiden including being without a win in 14 hurdle starts while the gelding has been beaten 104L and falling in two of three starts since the turn of the year. Others preferred.

Jimmy Rabbitte48
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-8| J: Robbie Colgan| T: D Broad
50/1
Well beaten and never a factor in two career maiden hurdle starts in December and January. Hard to see him making any impact here.

Reach Up38
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-8| J: Mr E P O'Brien(7)| T: J P Ryan
10/1
Not much to shout about in three career starts including a 21L defeat on maiden hurdle debut at Naas last month. Looks up against it here.

Ronald Pumpt151
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-8| J: A E Lynch| T: M J Smith
9/2
Has put in three laboured performances since returning to the track in October in both bumpers and in a Punchestown maiden hurdle when finishing eighth of 22 beaten 26L. Wears first time tongue-tie but unlikely to play a part in the finish.

Famous Day38
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-3| J: B Browne(5)| T: O McKiernan| OR:  99
16/1
Eight-race maiden including seven heavy defeats over timber with her best performance being 22L behind the winner. Needs to improve significantly.

Forecasts

Allardyce (11/8), Poly Rock (5/2), Ronald Pump (9/2), Cluan Dara (9/1), Reach Up (10/1), Famous Day (16/1), Analytical Mindset (25/1), Jimmy Rabbitte (50/1), Pedro (100/1)

Verdict

Hard to see past Allardyce making the running here in the early stages with POLY ROCK allowing the eager front runner to take charge. The selection was a lowly €22,000 as a three-year-old but should have what it takes to get his head in front in this company. Cluan Dara can compete with the early leader for the runner-up position.
