Coursing Ben¹⁶

Age: 12| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr Turlough O'connor⁽⁷⁾| T: T O'Connor

100/1

Modest in a number of point-to-point starts and needs a chunk of improvement on rules debut here to play a part in the finish.

Form: 1P5P/P4

Gangster^p⁵¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Flanagan| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 141| BF| D

4/1

Distance winner who disappointed as beaten favourite when last seen in April in a Kilbeggan beginners contest finishing well down the field. Plenty to prove at present.

Form: 2232/4-5

Miracle Cure⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: J J Slevin| T: P T Flavin| OR: 107

66/1

Pulled up on sole chase start to date in a Huntingdon novice chase when in the hands of trainer Venetia Williams in April 2017. Nothing of note in a dozen starts for this yard and others preferred.

Form: 79-956U

Mister Butler^t⁸³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: J J Burke| T: D Hogan

50/1

Maiden after 12 starts and failed to complete in two starts over fences earlier this season before finishing well down the field in a Clonmel beginners contest when last seen in March.

Form: 8PF226-

Ornua³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: D Robinson⁽³⁾| T: H De Bromhead| D

13/8

Distance winner over this trip in a Down Royal maiden hurdle in May 2017. Plenty to like about his chasing debut at Killarney last month and looks open to much improvement here.

Form: 11P30-3

Play The Part^p²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: C A Landers⁽⁷⁾| T: W M Roper| CD

40/1

Course winner that has also won over the distance. Always in rear on sole chase start to date at Tipperary last month eventually pulled up before three out. Plenty more needed here.

Form: 3533P-0

Port Rashid¹⁹

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

50/1

Distance winner of a Tramore maiden hurdle on heavy ground in April. Acts on this ground but needs to improve on disappointing chase debut at Tramore recently.

Form: 7351-F9

Robins Spirit⁶⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: D E Mullins| T: J Dullea

66/1

Nothing of any note in two desolate chase performances last month and unlikely to trouble the judge in this contest.

Form: P2P0-

Roconga²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Mark Walsh| T: E J O'Grady| OR: 130| D

3/1

Solid and consistent sort who has generally gone well in a number of chase starts to date and deserves a change of luck here on his ninth start over fences.

Form: 422FP-3

Sharps Choice²⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins

12/1

Proving very consistent and deservedly opened his account at the 11th attempt when winning a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan in September. Beaten since before the end of the season and is expected to be well prepped for chasing debut.

Form: 235150-

Veinard^t⁵⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott| OR: 107

8/1

Plenty to like about his second of nine beaten just over 5L on chasing debut in a Fairyhouse beginners contest in February. Likely to improve on that run for leading trainer/jockey combination.

Form: 889720-

D'bru Na Boinne^b1³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: A McCurtin⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Walsh

50/1

Modest 97-rated hurdler and first time blinkers unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

Form: 0/067P-0

Cotton Jenny¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: A E Lynch| T: B Jordan| D

12/1

Has produced two promising displays over the larger fences recently the latest of which when second of 15 beaten ½L in a Tramore beginners chase earlier this month. Likely to improve here.

Form: 56P/5-32

Forecasts

Ornua (13/8), Roconga (3/1), Gangster (4/1), Veinard (8/1), Cotton Jenny (12/1), Sharps Choice (12/1), Play The Part (40/1), D'bru Na Boinne (50/1), Port Rashid (50/1), Mister Butler (50/1), Miracle Cure (66/1), Robins Spirit (66/1), Coursing Ben (100/1)

The Edward O'Grady-trained ROCONGA has generally gone well in a number of chase starts to date without getting his head in front. But he has conditions very much in his favour here and may just have too much for potential improver Veinard who caught the eye on his only chase start at Fairyhouse in February. Given their most recent starts Cotton Jenny and Henry De Bromhead's Ornua give the impression we may not have seen the best of them yet.
