10/1
Well beaten and not a lot of promise in two beginners chase starts in October last year. Improved performance on handicap debut earlier in the month but hard to fancy now dropped back to a beginners contest.

6/1
100-rated hurdler winning two of his 20 starts over timber. Yard tow from six with their chasers this term and worth a market check here.

33/1
Not a lot to shout about in ten hurdle starts including a 111L defeat at Ballinrobe earlier in the month. Hard to construct much of a case for her until showing a hint of ability under rules.

2/1
Daughter of Milan out of a Pistolet Bleu mare. 121-rated hurdler and not getting to the winner on chasing debut when not disgraced at Cork earlier this month. Market should be informative.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-7| J: A W Short(5)| T: M A Cahill
25/1
92-rated hurdler who didn't appear to handle the conditions in the later starts towards the end of the year. Beaten 66L and tailed off on chasing debut last month here over 2m1½f. Plenty to prove on second chase start.

9/1
Loves to lead beaten 31L on sole chasing start at Kilbeggan in April 2017. Tough ask for the veteran and others preferred.

Moonlight Escape19
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-4| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G Elliott
6/4
Solid and consistent hurdler winner over this trip last time out in a Cork maiden hurdle earlier this month. Could be plenty of confidence behind this mare on chasing debut.

Forecasts

Moonlight Escape (6/4), Lakemilan (2/1), Gold Smoke (6/1), Zipporah (9/1), Field Exhibition (10/1), Theatre Run (25/1), Harry Smiles (33/1)

Verdict

Tough and game mare over hurdles since the turn of the year MOONLIGHT ESCAPE will be expected to transfer her solid timber form to the larger obstacles on chasing debut here following a win at Cork earlier this month. Lakeinmilan and Gold Smoke are the best of the rest.
  1. Moonlight Escape
  2. Lakemilan
  3. Gold Smoke
