1/1

Useful staying chaser at his best and followed up a point-to-point win by finishing runner-up to Gilgamboa at Down Royal before Christmas. Second of five in a hunter chase at Gowran Park last month and likely to be popular in the betting here.

Six time winner under rules and successful in a heavy ground point-to-point before finishing well behind Gilgamboa at the turn of the year. Beaten 7L in a point-to-point start last month.

7/1

C&D winner and a 120 rated chaser in his pomp who is still holding his own in the point-to-point ranks but may find this return to the track a tall order.

Form: 3-43313

4/1

Course winner as recently as November when winning a 3m hunter chase on soft to heavy. Pulled up on her last two starts which must be a concern.

Forecasts

Venitien De Mai (1/1), Winter Magic (11/10), My Murphy (11/4), Wilcosdiana (4/1), Allannahs Gold (6/1), Bothair Clei (7/1)

VENITIEN DE MAI finished second of five beaten ½L behind the well thought of Fenno's Storm and could land the spoils here if repeating that kind of form under jockey Derek O'Connor. Winter Magic who is finding himself in good heart currently and Allanahs Gold winner of a 2m5f hunters chase at Fairyhouse in February can give the selection the most to think about.
