9/2
Distance winner at Limerick in March winning a Limerick maiden hurdle when a little fortuitous when left at the last going on to win by 7½L. Disappointed when upped in trip last time out but more suited by 2m½f here.

Not a lot to shout about in the geldings dismal displays in three starts since March following a maiden hurdle win at Fairyhouse in February. Sure to be popular in the betting but not one to totally trust.

9/1
Rewarded for some consistent efforts in bumpers with a victory at Wexford in October over 2m but has disappointed since in four hurdle starts over a variety of trips and place claims at best.

Won a Downpatrick maiden hurdle over 2m3f in March on soft ground winning by 1L in front of Caro Des Flos before disappointing last month when last of seven beaten 30L. Could need further.

7/2
Course winner who was beaten favourite last time out in a Ballinrobe hurdle on handicap debut but sure to make his presence felt in this company.

33/1
Course winner that has also won over this distance. Finished fifth of 11 when well beaten in a Cork novice hurdle earlier this month but was subsequently disqualified when the jockey refused to weigh-in. Will need to improve to figure.
7

Love And Wishes6
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-6| J: R M Power| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR:  109
9/2
Has failed to build on his fourth of 13 at Naas in January consequently well beaten on three occasions and place claims at best here.

Visioman17
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-6| J: D Robinson(5)| T: H De Bromhead| OR:  111
9/2
Rallied to finish second of 10 beaten ½L in a Kilbeggan hurdle on handicap debut and raised 4lb for his effort. Strong claims in current form.

Forecasts

R'evelyn Pleasure (7/2), Visioman (9/2), The Granson (9/2), Love And Wishes (9/2), Force Of Forces (13/2), Percy (13/2), Imperial Way (9/1), Leap Dearg (33/1)

Verdict

The Henry De Bromhead potential improver VISIOMAN is taken to upset the bigger stables here to improve from his ½L defeat last time out at Kilbeggan. The WIllie Mullins-trained Force Of Forces has had plenty of chances in the past while Percy from the Gordon Elliott yard coulds appreciate further.
