7/1
Winner of just one of her 12 hurdle starts and looked in need of the run last month at Limerick on stable debut. Not easy to discount.

8/1
Not a lot to shout about in three starts since February including a fall at Thurles over the larger obstacles last month. First time cheekpieces unlikely to bring about required improvement.

7/1
Finished third at Tramore in October but well beaten since including in handicap company in her last three starts. Looks a tall order on form shown.

5/1
Three time point-to-point winner but well beaten in four starts over fences including a disappointing 66L defeat on handicap debut last month.

Ten race maiden and well beaten in a beginners chase at Clonmel (2m4f, heavy) last time out. Probably best watched on today's handicap chase debut.

Finished second of eight beaten ½L behind Luckyinmilan - runner up here yesterday - and will be looking to build on that run in this company.

Age: 7|  Weight: 10-11| J: Phillip Enright| T: D Howard| OR:  80
20/1
Has struggled in two chase starts in December and on return at Thurles last month with an 84L defeat. Difficult to see where improvement will come from with first time tongue-tie.

Glacial Shadowp1,t27
Age: 9|  Weight: 10-6| J: A E Lynch| T: D Broad| OR:  75
9/1
Has disappointed connections in a number of dispiriting displays in four handicap chases since December. Very little to be positive about here and first time cheekpieces unlikely to change anything.

Put a series of below-par displays firmly behind her when landing a Downpatrick handicap chase by a nose from Quickasyoucan last month Up 4lb for the win and can go well if jumping fluently.

13-race maiden as a 12-year-old and has been badly out of form towards the end of the year and very little to be positive about.

Forecasts

Highest Benefit (7/2), Lacken Bridge (5/1), Shanklys Dawn (5/1), Leader's Choice (7/1), Open To The World (7/1), Swift (8/1), Glacial Shadow (9/1), Night Sir (12/1), Ballykea Star (20/1), Caoimhe Diva (20/1)

Verdict

Open To The World and Swift will possibly take the field along here with Leaders Choice and Lacken Bridge racing prominently. SHANKLYS DAWN impressed when staying on strongly to land Downpatrick handicap chase by a nose from Quickasyoucan last month and can continue her run of form here. Highest Benefit and Open To The World can hit the frame.
  1. Shanklys Dawn
  2. Highest Benefit
  3. Open To The World
