Conrad Hastings⁵⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: D N Russell| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 140| CD

4/1

C&D winner who won a Killarney novice chase back in July 2017 but has largely struggled since including being pulled-up on his last two starts. Out of sorts recently but could go well at a big price.

Form: 1250PP-

Draycott Place^t¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: Danny Mullins| T: J P Ryan| OR: 129

16/1

Followed up a good second at Ballinrobe with a gutsy win at Listowel over this trip off a 4lb lower mark. Beaten latest over inadequate 2m and should produce better back at this distance.

Form: 266216

Teacher's Pet^t³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: L P Dempsey| T: J P Dempsey| OR: 128| D

11/2

Has won two of his 14 chase starts, the last coming in a Cork novice contest over 2m4f in October 2017 off a 6lb lower mark. Looked happier on the quicker ground last month when second of eight in a Limerick mares chase.

Form: FFP84-2

Cecil Corbett⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 10-8| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 125| C

20/1

Winner of a Downpatrick handicap chase over 3m on good ground earlier this month and enters calculations here off a 4lb higher mark for leading trainer/jockey combination.

Form: 1F78-61

Dromnea^b,t²⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 10-8| J: Katie O'Farrell⁽⁵⁾| T: M F Morris| OR: 125| D

20/1

Well beaten and never nearer in in a couple of handicap chases recently over 2m and 2m7f. Plenty more needed in this group.

Form: 66F0-09

Valco De Touzaine^t¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-7| J: Phillip Enright| T: P M J Doyle| OR: 124| D

16/1

Eventually a disappointment for trainer-Paul Nicholls and well held in a couple of starts for new connections. Hard to place any faith in.

Form: 1/1F6-P4

Eiri Na Casca^p¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: D G Hogan| T: D Hogan| OR: 123| D

8/1

Six from 26 over the larger obstacles and without a win since November. Game sort but is still racing 11lb higher than last winning mark. Others preferred.

Form: 1872-40

Steel Wave¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| OR: 122| CD

4/1

C&D winner here in May when landing a beginners contest on chasing debut last month before finishing fourth of five when stepped up to novice chasing at Wexford earlier this month. Expected to improve on that run.

Form: 2570-14

Timiyan^t⁶⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: Mark Walsh| T: G Elliott| OR: 122

20/1

93-rated handicapper on the Flat for trainer Dermot Weld but is without success for new connections over fences putting in some poor rounds of jumping. Opposable on recent form.

Form: 0P556F-

William Du Berlais^b1²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: E Bolger| OR: 113| C

11/4

Signs of a return to form when second of 12 beaten ½L here earlier this month over 3m1f. Big drop in trip here, first-time blinkers applied and market likely to be the best guide.

Form: 1334-72

Non-Runners

Baily Moon²⁷

Weight: 10-8| Age: 7

T: M F Morris J: J J Slevin

Forecasts

William Du Berlais (11/4), Conrad Hastings (4/1), Steel Wave (4/1), Teacher's Pet (11/2), Eiri Na Casca (8/1), Draycott Place (16/1), Valco De Touzaine (16/1), Cecil Corbett (20/1), Timiyan (20/1), Dromnea (20/1), Baily Moon (20/1)

C&D winner STEEL WAVE won a beginners contest on chasing debut last month before finishing fourth of five when stepped up to novice chasing at Wexford earlier this month and can improve on that run to triumph here on handicap debut. The inconsistent Teachers Pet, course and last time out winner Cecil Corbett can compete for the placings while Conrad Hastings and Draycott Place could go well at double figure prices.
