Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: A E Lynch| T: H De Bromhead

16/1

Beaten 13L by Doctor Phoenix at Naas before another poor performance in a Navan Grade 2 contest finishing 20L behind Great Field. May find this tough.

American Tom^t¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: D J Mullins| T: W P Mullins

20/1

Made a promising start to his chasing career but he's only disappointed since. Including a 17L defeat last month in a Punchestown handicap chase over 2m. More disappointment looks on the cards here.

Form: F/32367-

Ballyoisin²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: B J Geraghty| T: E Bolger| BF| C

5/4

Course winner who was beaten favourite last time out when finishing 9L behind the Willie Mullins-trained True Self in a Punchestown handicap hurdle. Can be expected to produce a better effort here.

Goulane Chosen¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: D J McInerney| T: S Spillane

40/1

Has failed to build on a 7L win in a Gowran Park handicap chase over 2m2f in March with two defeats at Cork and a fall last month at Punchestown.

Shaneshill¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Danny Mullins| T: W P Mullins| D

9/4

Has been plying his trade in two Grade 1 contests at Punchestown including a gallant third of 12 last month in the Stayers hurdle. Should have the class to play a major role here.

Jett⁵¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: R M Power| T: Mrs J Harrington| BF

9/2

Improved 6lb over the course of the season putting in some gallant displays over the campaign including a win at Thurles in February. One for the shortlist.

Product Of Love²⁶¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: D F O'Regan| T: A Fleming| C

16/1

Boasts impressive record of having first starts in point-to-point, bumpers, hurdles and - last month at Killarney - over fences. Did it cosily over 2m1f on good ground but needs to step up once again in this company.

Forecasts

Ballyoisin (5/4), Shaneshill (9/4), Jett (9/2), Val De Ferbet (12/1), Alisier D'irlande (16/1), Product Of Love (16/1), American Tom (20/1), Goulane Chosen (40/1)

The Willie Mullins-trained SHANESHILL finished second in the Galway Plate and has been highly-tried since but this is a drop in class for this 156-rated chaser and has been found an ideal opportunity to get back to winning ways. The Jessica Harrington-trained Jett who has improved over 12-months and Grade 3 Imperial Call third Val De Ferbet can battle for the minors.
