Ah Littleluck^t³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: J M Moore| T: T Gibney| D

7/1

Decent hurdler rated 131. Made a promising start over fences when finishing a close second at Wexford but jumping has been questionably since.

Form: 130-20U

Babbling Stream^t²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: H Morgan⁽⁷⁾| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 123| D

2/1

Winner of two of his last four starts over hurdles the latest coming in a Downpatrick 2m3f contest earlier last month. Half-brother to Grand National hero Tiger Roll but a watching brief on jumping introduction.

Form: 301417

Benefit North^t¹²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: A E Lynch| T: C A McBratney

20/1

Nothing of note in a couple of hurdle starts since the turn of the year and possibly best watched taking his first chasing steps here.

Form: 043F4-4

Its All Guesswork^t¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott| BF

4/5

Showed a fair level of form over hurdles and a similar story too over fences so far where it is only a matter of time before the gelding gets off the mark over the larger obstacles.

Form: 334-322

Qui Bono¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: D F O'Regan| T: B W Duke

22/1

Fifth of 12 beaten 30L on return to action in a Listowel maiden hurdle earlier this month. Looks a long term prospect.

Form: 8/57-525

Rueben James⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: B J Cooper| T: C Bowe

20/1

Ran well when 2L second on chasing debut at Downpatrick before finishing down the field at Kilbeggan when last seen over the larger obstacles over a year ago. Best watched here.

Form: 11525-P

The Gordon Elliott-trained, Davy Russell ridden ITS ALL GUESSWORK can make the most of his experience over the larger obstacles and get off the mark at the fourth time of asking following a number of solid efforts since August. Others with chase experience don't exactly jump of the page so it may be better to consider a couple newcomers here in the shape of Gigginstown House Stud representatives Trainwreck and the Noel Meade-trained Dis Donc.
