Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Kennedy| T: S Byrne| OR: 105

10/1

Modest 105-rated hurdler looked one pace on seasonal debut in a Down Royal handicap hurdle last month. Worth a market check on chasing debut.

Form: 58815-7

Ned's Island²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: L P Dempsey| T: D M O'Brien| C

40/1

Course winner who has also won over the trip. Will be looking to improve on his fifth of 14 on chasing debut at Kilbeggan last month. Below-par 96-rated hurdler so possibly best watched here.

Form: 6PP04-5

Peacocks Secret²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 109

25/1

Form: 26578-8

Port Rashid^t²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Phillip Enright| T: T Townend| C

14/1

Modest 106-rated hurdler who won here in April over 2m in a maiden hurdle on heavy ground. Market likely to reveal expectations.

Form: 37351-F

Doldido³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: D J McInerney⁽³⁾| T: M Winters

7/1

Hints of promise in two beginners chase starts at Clonmel and Thurles earlier this year when not unbacked running in to third on each occasion. Entitled to make the shortlist here.

Form: 3/10330-

Jefferson Davis¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Donagh Meyler| T: E Doyle| OR: 108

8/1

Tendency to jump right in two career beginners chases at Wexford and Killarney last month well beaten on both occasions despite finishing positions. Unlikely to play a role in the finish.

Form: 7435-55

Ri An Rian¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Sean Flanagan| T: Miss E Doyle| BF

8/1

Looks to have quite a reputation sent off favourite on chasing debut in a Downpatrick contest over 2m3½f eventually finishing second of 14 beaten 1½L behind Whatsinthecorner. Connections could be on a recovery mission.

Form: 46365-2

Vellutato⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: M J Bolger| T: W J Martin

40/1

Below-par 85-rated hurdler held up in touch before finishing one pace fifth of eight on chasing debut in a Wexford beginners last month. Market check advised all the same.

Form: 7250F4-

Dawn Light Cave^t²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: J S McGarvey| T: D Cullen

50/1

Hurdle performances have been well below the required standard and looked one pace on chasing debut in a Roscommon contest last month. Plenty to prove in this company.

Form: 06620-4

Gold Smoke^p⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: B J Foley⁽⁵⁾| T: E M O'Sullivan

25/1

Well beaten in two chase starts recently before finding no luck with a slipping saddle when pulled up at Wexford last month and requires a chunk of improvement to play a role here.

Form: 7P63-3P

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: C A Landers⁽⁷⁾| T: P Neville| BF

33/1

7/4

Headway three out to track leaders in a Kilbeggan beginners chase when on terms on the home turn before dropping to finish fourth of 14 beaten 5¼L. More than likely to improve for the run.

Form: 35/2-4

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Thomas Brett⁽⁷⁾| T: Ms M Mullins

33/1

Second Reserve: Below par hurdler for the Patrick Hogan yard without a win in 10 stars. Unlikely to play a role in the finish here.

Forecasts

Pleasure Dome (7/4), Dawn In The Park (7/1), Doldido (7/1), Jefferson Davis (8/1), Ri An Rian (8/1), Highandmighty (10/1), Cotton Jenny (14/1), Port Rashid (14/1), Wade Harper (16/1), Peacocks Secret (25/1), Gold Smoke (25/1), Queen Khaleesi (33/1), Shine In Dubai (33/1), Vellutato (40/1), Ned's Island (40/1), Dawn Light Cave (50/1), Taggle Og (50/1), Legal Lord (150/1)

A track that can pay to be up with the pace in the early stages of the contest which will bring in likely warm order PLEASURE DOME. The Willie Mullins-trained mare can improve on her fourth of 14 in a Kilbeggan beginners chase last month. The Joseph O'Brien-trained Dawn In The Park, Cotton Jenny and Highandmighty can compete for the minors while possible improver Gold Smoke can go well at a big price.
