Off time: 19:26 | Winning time: 5m 15.4s

Line Out²¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: D J McInerney⁽³⁾| T: J E Kiely| OR: 125| D

11/2

In good form when last seen back in the autumn. Trip, class and ground are fine although there are probably better treated opponents with a fitness advantage.

Form: 541133-

Babbling Stream¹⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: D Robinson⁽⁵⁾| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 124

8/1

Won a bumper and a hurdle for Willie Mullins but off since failing to make his mark in handicaps and over fences in late 2017. Outside claim on best form and likely this will be needed.

Form: 15/4430-

High Expectations⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 124

20/1

Had a good summer on the Flat in 2017 and landed a valuable prize at Leicester over hurdles in November. Conditions would have been too soft last time, but looks a strong contender here if the weather remains dry.

Form: 6P0/U1P-

The Mulcare Rover¹⁴⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: A McCurtin⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Walsh| OR: 119| D

20/1

Lightly raced since a Limerick success two years ago. Conditions have been too soft in his subsequent races and, although more favourable here, he is still too high in the weights.

Form: 618/840-

Odit⁶²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: C A Landers⁽⁷⁾| T: M Butler| OR: 112

33/1

Strong claims on his summer hurdling form of 2016 but an absence since then is a concern. Best watched on debut for new yard.

Form: 463316/

Play The Part^b²⁰⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: R Loughran| T: W M Roper| OR: 112

22/1

Strung together a few consistent efforts in maiden hurdles last summer. Off since October and new mark asks some serious questions.

Form: 33533P-

Shake The Bucket³⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 10-13| J: N Bashford⁽⁷⁾| T: N Madden| OR: 112| D

33/1

3-14 record over hurdles but has not run over these obstacles since October 2016. Not at his best around his beloved Dundalk recently so best avoided for now.

Form: 214/228-

Wait Here^t¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Mark Walsh| T: A Leahy| OR: 112

20/1

Weak in the market before failing to make an impact on handicap debut 19 days ago. Looks well enough treated on his novice form and the market should be informative again.

Form: F1122-0

Tikkanen Express^h³⁵³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Danny Mullins| T: J Dullea| OR: 111| D

10/1

Well enough treated on his old hurdling form, but he has been absent since showing fair form over fences a year ago.

Form: 1601/34-

Golden Jewel^t1⁵²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: C D Timmons⁽³⁾| T: E Cawley| OR: 110| BF

9/2

Has improved since going handicapping this season with wins at Naas and Fairyhouse both over 2m. Ran well enough at latter track when fifth behind Western Ruler and his trainer has always thought he would do better on quicker ground.

Form: 0/01615-

Trump Sixteen^t³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: D F O'Regan| T: S J Mahon| OR: 108

7/1

Scored at Limerick over 2m last time when forced to adopt different tactics. Said to be better at this trip and a 7lb rise does not rule him out.

Form: 965431-

Veneziano Springs¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: A E Lynch| T: T O'Brien| OR: 107| BF

10/1

Has been shaping well over fences lately. Previous hurdling form was not as good and his best efforts have come on slower ground than forecast.

Form: 9232F-4

Bye Bye O Bye^t⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 10-6| J: B J Cooper| T: Michael C Griffin| OR: 105

7/1

Running well despite advancing years and a mark 6lb higher than when last successful. Had a hard race four days ago and this will be his third appearance of the month.

Form: 4208-64

Wade Harper^t⁴¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: J P O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 105| D

16/1

Lost his way towards the end of 2017 and there have been few signs lately that he is on the way back.

Form: 780555-

You Can't Catch Me^t²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-5| J: J J Slevin| T: K Purcell| OR: 104| D

16/1

Enjoys a big pull with Trump Sixteen on Limerick running and he will be appreciate the return to this trip and quicker ground. Last two victories have come during the month of May.

Form: P/87786-

Fleurys Fort^h²⁵¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: T Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: L Young| OR: 101| D

25/1

Completed a hat-trick two years ago and best run since came when dropped closer to his last winning mark than is the case here.

Form: 054930-

Free Code^t³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-1| J: J J Burke| T: E M O'Sullivan| OR: 100

25/1

Winner of five Flat races between 5f-7f. Has shown little so far over hurdles and this longer trip looks beyond him.

Form: 45P5-

Forecasts

Golden Jewel (9/2), Line Out (11/2), Bye Bye O Bye (7/1), Trump Sixteen (7/1), Babbling Stream (8/1), Veneziano Springs (10/1), Tikkanen Express (10/1), Allez Kal (14/1), Wade Harper (16/1), You Can't Catch Me (16/1), High Expectations (20/1), The Mulcare Rover (20/1), Wait Here (20/1), Play The Part (22/1), Free Code (25/1), Fleurys Fort (25/1), Odit (33/1), Shake The Bucket (33/1)

Many of these have been waiting for summer ground and of this group HIGH EXPECTATIONS has the benefit of a recent run and looks competitively weighted. You Can't Catch Me doesn't win too often but has each-way claims now that conditions have turned favourable and from an attractive mark. Trump Sixteen and Golden Jewel have every chance of adding to their recent successes, whilst Wait Here drifted ominously in the market last time despite looking fairly treated. A market move in his favour with the ground riding quicker would be significant.
