Bay Of Freedom¹¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: K C Sexton| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 114| C

6/1

Well beaten at Leopardstown before Christmas and pulled up when last seen at Fairyhouse. A return to hurdles doesn't look the obvious move and others preferred.

Form: P/4330P-

Last Encounter^b²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: D J Mullins| T: Ms M Mullins| OR: 133| C

8/1

Course winner back in 2015 but not managed to get his head in front since. Ran okay at Tipperary last time and a return to hurdles looks like a smart move. Leading contender here.

Form: 8527-F4

Lion In His Heart^b²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 126

7/2

Has failed to finish on four of his last six starts and he's an unreliable type as his one win from 12 starts suggests. Not completely out of it on the best of his form but others preferred here.

Form: R0P3P-U

Timi Roli¹⁸⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Danny Mullins| T: W P Mullins| OR: 125

10/3

A winner at Tipperary in July but that maiden hurdle success is his only win in 11 starts. Inconsistent generally and entitled to need this on return but significant step up in trip could be in his favour here.

Form: 247920-

Toushan³²

Age: 11| Weight: 11-5| J: R Loughran| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 114

7/1

Came from an unpromising position to score in a Limerick handicap chase over Christmas and while not as good over hurdles, he's run well on his most recent couple of starts in this sphere. Place claims.

Form: 18432-2

Freewheelin Dylan^t¹²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: C D Maxwell| T: D A McLoughlin| D

25/1

A winner ond ebut at Listowel but has failed to back that up in any fashion in three subsequent starts and pulled up at Punchestown last time. Risky proposition on hurdles debut.

Form: 2/2150P-

Qui Bono^t1³³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: A E Lynch| T: B W Duke

33/1

Well beaten on al four starts under Rules and returns from a significant absence here. Others preferred.

Form: 78/57-

High Nellie³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Brian Hayes| T: M J Bowe| OR: 114| CD

3/1

Has returned to form over fences in recent times and this C&D winner not without place claims despite that being her only win in 28 starts if she returns in form.

Form: 435115-

Forecasts

High Nellie (3/1), Timi Roli (10/3), Lion In His Heart (7/2), Bay Of Freedom (6/1), Toushan (7/1), Last Encounter (8/1), Freewheelin Dylan (25/1), Qui Bono (33/1)

LAST ENCOUNTER shades the vote with the return to hurdles likely to suit. Timi Roli couldn't be ruled out if the step up in trip sees him to better effect while Toushan and High Nellie can battle it out form minor honours with the latter preferred after some promising runs over fences of late.
