Off time: 20:40 | Winning time: 5m 40.80s

Dawn Light Cave^t¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: J S McGarvey| T: D Cullen

33/1

Modest 84-rated hurdler who is a seven race maiden who has generally disappointed connections and probably best watched on chasing debut.

Form: 90-6620

Drumlosh Sallie¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: I J McCarthy| T: J G Carr

33/1

Remains a maiden at 10-years-old, sent off 50/1 for mares beginners' chase at Sligo in August but ran well to be second before a 47L defeat at Punchestown last month over 3m. Well beaten on soft ground in the past and others preferred.

Form: 572-RR8

Girly Girl⁹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 121| D

5/1

Beaten a total of 46L on his last two chase starts for trainer-Jessica Harrington. Market likely to reveal expectations on debut for new connections.

Form: F30/U-35

Gold Smoke^p¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: C A Landers⁽⁷⁾| T: E M O'Sullivan

12/1

100-rated hurdler winning two of his 20 starts over timber. Mistakes put paid to any chance he may have had on chasing debut at Limerick last month and can improve on that run here.

Form: 677P-63

Heather Moth¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: A Ring⁽³⁾| T: M Phelan

40/1

Well beaten behind Wood Emery at Punchestown in February before being tailed off before three when pulled up on his last two starts in handicap hurdles at Limerick. Market possibly best guide on chasing debut.

Form: 0-P38PP

Mileys Dream²²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: P D Kennedy⁽³⁾| T: D E Fitzgerald

66/1

Sole win from 21 starts came at Listowel around this time last year from a similar mark but she has toiled in the main since. Returns from a lay off and best watched on chasing and stable debut.

Form: 908000-

Robbina^t⁷⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: T Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: W Harney

40/1

Poor 95-rated hurdler and has produced a pair of dismal performances on his first chase starts since the turn of the year. Plenty to find in this contest.

Form: 43PP/P0

Screaming Rose¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: D J Mullins| T: W P Mullins

11/8

Second on both career chases in beginners events last summer. Pulled up when beaten on seasonal debut in a Punchestown handicap hurdle but is likely to be of much attention returning to the larger obstacles.

Form: 483/22-P

The Green Lady⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Danny Mullins| T: P A Fahy| OR: 118

11/2

Poor form in a series of drab performances in three beginners chases since February. Plenty to find on recent offerings.

Form: F8F-436

The Kings Baby¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: J J Slevin| T: M McCabe| D

10/3

119-rated hurdler who was sent off at odds of 66/1 on her last hurdle start in April finishing 54L adrift of the winner. Place claims at best on chasing debut.

Form: 211400-

Forecasts

Screaming Rose (11/8), The Kings Baby (10/3), Girly Girl (5/1), The Green Lady (11/2), Gold Smoke (12/1), Dawn Light Cave (33/1), Drumlosh Sallie (33/1), Robbina (40/1), Heather Moth (40/1), Mileys Dream (66/1)

SCREAMING ROSE can be forgiven a desolate performance last time out when pulled-up before three out at Punchestown last month. The seven-year-old posted two solid beginners chase form last summer and can build on those starts here. Girly Girly now with Ross O'Sullivan following a switch from the Jessica Harrington yard deserves respect on stable debut while the 119-rated hurdler Kings Theatre mare The Kings Baby could grab a place.
