Conron¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: R M Power| T: Mrs J Harrington| D

9/4

Of little account on the Flat but got off to a flying start for 1,000gns winning yard in a Punchestown maiden hurdle earlier this month. Looks a progressive type and shortlisted here.

Form: 1

Percy^p1¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 121

6/1

First-time cheekpieces are added following the gelding failing to build on a promising maiden hurdle win at Downpatrick in March. From powerful trainer/jockey combination but has struggled on this ground in the past.

Form: 517-7

Waterville Dancer¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: D J McInerney⁽³⁾| T: C Byrnes| D

7/1

Distance winner in a Killarney maiden hurdle earlier this month under todays jockey. One for the shortlist in this contest.

Form: 50-31

A Dos No Bueno³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Ricky Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: C O'Dwyer

66/1

A half-brother to useful hurdler/smart chaser Runswick Royal, he was picked up for €50,000 by connections. Disappointing in a Punchestown bumper last month and hard to fancy here.

Eoline Jolie³²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: D J Mullins| T: W P Mullins

11/8

Taking his time to come to hand for powerful owner/trainer combination disappointing in two hurdle starts last month. Not written off but needs to bounced back.

Form: 168-

Foxy Lass^p²²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: D G Hogan| T: D Hogan| OR: 110| CD

25/1

C&D winner on his sole hurdle win in September last year. Clearly a progressive type but needs to eek out more here.

Form: 12746-3

Lucky Icon⁵⁰⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Danny Mullins| T: T Mullins

50/1

Nothing of note in three starts on the Flat. Not seen since January 2017 and difficult to make a case for the gelding here.

Form:

April Shadow^t¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Sean Flanagan| T: D H Kelly

100/1

Never a factor and tailed off beaten 76L on maiden hurdle debut at Punchestown earlier this month. Looks up against it here.

Form: 0

Ar Eagla Na Heagla¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: A E Lynch| T: Francis Casey| OR: 105

14/1

Showed herself to be in good form when second in a Sligo maiden hurdle earlier this month. Beaten on the Flat since but has each way claims here.

Form: 746-2

Seangoell⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: M A Enright| T: N Lee

66/1

Daughter of Gold Well out of a Glacial Storm mare related to stoutly bred national hunt sorts Johns Spirit, Holywell and Irish Grand National winner General Principle. Will come on for the experience of Limerick but still a big ask.

Form: 7

Forecasts

Eoline Jolie (11/8), Conron (9/4), Percy (6/1), Waterville Dancer (7/1), Ar Eagla Na Heagla (14/1), Foxy Lass (25/1), Lucky Icon (50/1), Seangoell (66/1), A Dos No Bueno (66/1), April Shadow (100/1)

The Willie Mullins-trained Eoline Jolie is becoming expensive to follow beaten on both starts in April but is well-thought of in the yard and is expected to go well here but may feel stiff opposition from the promising Jessica Harrington-trained CONRON, winner earlier this month at Punchestown. Waterville Dancer can continue his progress in this contest and could grab a place.
