Form: 6347-10

Listen Dear²³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| OR: 144| BF| CD

4/7

C&D winner back in September 2016 in a beginners chase and the mare showed she was still in good form when finishing runner-up at the Galway festival earlier this month and is sure to improve from that run here.

Form: 1144/1-2

Coolnagorna Giggs^p,t⁸⁵

Age: 12| Weight: 11-2| J: Sarah Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: R P Rath| OR: 99| C

100/1

Consistent form in seven point-to-point starts this year. Not seen under rules for over 12-months and won his last chase in January 2016. Watching brief on return and stable debut.

Form: 21-34P3

Devils Bride^p,t²³

Age: 11| Weight: 11-2| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 140

12/1

Popular veteran but last win came here in 2016 off a 10lb higher mark. Likely to struggle with better handicapped sorts lurking.

Form: 00-9409

Don't Touch It^p²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Mark Walsh| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 145

7/2

Fairly useful on his day, though it has been a while since he's shown that form. Well behind on his last two starts including a heavy defeat at the Galway festival earlier this month. Looks a tall order on form shown.

Form: 6UP-050

Draycott Place^t³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: C Brassil⁽⁵⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 134| D

16/1

Well beaten in a couple of hurdle starts recently but showed decent form over the larger obstacles in the spring and can go close here.

Form: 6146F8

Rock The World^p,t²³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: B J Geraghty| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 143| CD

6/1

C&D winner but that was over three years ago and his last win came at the 2017 Cheltenham festival. Others hold stronger profiles.

Form: 049-70P

Forecasts

Listen Dear (4/7), Don't Touch It (7/2), Rock The World (6/1), Devils Bride (12/1), Draycott Place (16/1), Rocky Court (50/1), Coolnagorna Giggs (100/1)

The Willie Mullins-trained LISTEN DEAR has been found an ideal opportunity to get back to winning ways here following defeat at the Galway festival earlier this month. Don't Touch It, from the Jessica Harrington yard and Devils Bride can prove to be the biggest dangers while Cheltenham festival winner Rock The World should not be easily dismissed.
