10/1
Flickers of improvement on stable debut when finishing third of 14 in a Tipperary maiden hurdle and remains open to progress once again here.

5/4
Winning point-to-pointer who was placed in a Cork maiden over this trip last summer and plenty to like about his second of 14 at Tipperary last month. Another bold show looks likely.
3
Horse silk
100/1
Nothing of note in a Wexford bumper last month when beaten 57L and plenty more needed on maiden hurdle debut here.
4
Horse silk
100/1
Nothing of any note in a series of desolate displays in point-to-point and bumpers contests and easily passed over here.

40/1
Looked solid in a couple of point-to-point efforts since February finishing runner-up on two occasions. First-time tongue tie may assist on hurdling debut.

7/4
Finished second of 14 beaten 6L last month in a Wexford maiden hurdle over 2m4f. Capable of handling the step up in trip in this company.

Qui Bonot14
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-4| J: Sean Flanagan| T: B W Duke
20/1
Lightly raced but generally poor hurdler well held on all five career starts and very little to be positive about in this contest.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-4| J: P D Kennedy(3)| T: S Byrne
50/1
Modest in three point-to-point starts and has plenty to prove on rules debut on first start for new connections.

Age: 12|  Weight: 11-4| J: Mr N Gault(7)| T: S Millar| D
50/1
Eye-catching form in two point-to-point contests recently but will need to eek out quite a bit more on hurdling debut in first-time tongue tie.

66/1
Stowaway gelding out of a Roselier mare. Related to Hidden Cyclone, Champagne Fever and Outlander. Recent form doesn't warrant support here.
11
Horse silk
50/1
Modest form in three career bumpers before a horrid hurdling debut at Tramore earlier this month when well beaten 61L. Unlikely to play a part in the finish here.

Eimear31
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-11| J: Jack Kennedy| T: W Ross
40/1
Court Cave mare where there was plenty to like about her recent point-to-point form and worth a market check on hurdling and stable debut.

Mother's Best27
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-11| J: Phillip Enright| T: N Stokes| OR:  97
6/1
Showed some ability last summer and her fourth of 20 in a Tipperary maiden hurdle last month was plenty encouraging on seasonal debut. Ground concerns here but could have place claims.

Poor individual failing to finish in three of her last five hurdles and beaten a total of 216L in the other two.

Forecasts

Boston Spray (5/4), Pallaskenry (7/4), Mother's Best (6/1), Benruben (10/1), Qui Bono (20/1), Catch My Drift (20/1), Eimear (40/1), Noflashback (40/1), Tajj (50/1), Top Flyer (50/1), Cashlane (50/1), Robbina (50/1), Triangle Rock (66/1), Farrier Fury (100/1), Murder Mile (100/1)

Verdict

The Joseph O'Brien-trained BOSTON SPRAY would not have to improve much on his second of 14 at Tipperary last month to land a blow here from Pallaskenry who showed plenty of promise last time out here on the faster ground and possible progressive maiden Benruben who shaped well on debut for trainer Paul Nolan.
