Jetez²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: R M Power| T: Mrs J Harrington

6/1

Winner of a Limerick maiden hurdle over 2m last month beating 16 rivals 1½L. Acts on the ground and step up in trip sure to suit.

Form: 432P4-1

Canardier^h³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: A E Lynch| T: D A McLoughlin

2/1

Landed a Down Royal maiden hurdle in good style last month beating 19 rivals by over 6L. May be suited by step up in tip and another bold show looks likely.

Form: 1/35-1

Causey Arch³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: D J Mullins| T: W P Mullins| OR: 127| D

5/1

Distance winner in a six runner Sligo novice hurdle on good to yielding ground last month. Would not have to improve much on that win to land a blow here.

Form: 10-1

Eamon High²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: D Robinson⁽³⁾| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 123| D

9/2

Winner by the shortest of margins when landing a Killarney maiden hurdle last month over this trip. Capable of another big run here.

Form: 362-1

Scheu Time³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: D F O'Regan| T: J Nash| OR: 123

16/1

Struggled since winning his maiden hurdle in good style in March and will find one or two more progressive types in this challenge.

Form: 4241F-4

Sally Park³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: B Browne⁽⁵⁾| T: P W Flynn| D

10/1

Distance winner of a Sligo maiden hurdle last month beating nine rivals. Will need to improve once again but not easily dismissed.

Form: 116-1

Uisce Beatha^t³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Mark Walsh| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 118| BF

9/2

Winner of his maiden hurdle in April before finishing second of six in a Sligo novice hurdle behind Causey Arch last month. Placing unlikely to be reversed here.

Form: 21-2

Forecasts

Canardier (2/1), Eamon High (9/2), Uisce Beatha (9/2), Causey Arch (5/1), Jetez (6/1), Schmidt (10/1), Sally Park (10/1), Scheu Time (16/1)

The manner of the win of CAUSEY ARCH makes the Jeremy gelding difficult to oppose here as he quickened away nicely from a small but select field to win cosily with Uisce Beatha 1¼L behind in second and it is ambitious not to think he will not improve again. Canardier, facile winner of a Down Royal maiden hurdle last month and the ultra-consistent Jetez can hit the frame in behind.
