11/8
Has shown some very solid an consistent form in being placed in all five hurdles so far. That would be strong enough to win other races, but it has to be a bit of a concern that he keeps finding something to beat him. Leading contender, nonetheless.

15/8
Debut bumper winner who ran to a similar level despite being comfortably held on his hurdles debut at Navan last time. Step up in trip looks positive. Could take closer order.

14/1
Well held in bumpers, though showed some promise on his second start. Bred to do better over obstacles, so we may now begin to see improvement. Interesting.

9/2
Pulled up in sole point-to-point outing. Bred for this game and this trip looks a decent starting point, but looks best watched unless market speaks strongly for him.

50/1
Completed in just one of his three point-to-points. Nice enough pedigree and still time on his side, but best watched for the moment.

Well held in both hurdles starts so far. Can only watch.

Stubborn Logic23
Age: 4|  Weight: 11-2| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: J Halley
10/1
Comfortably accounted for in both hurdles starts so far. Needs improvement on those efforts to be winning this, but can't rule him out of the frame.
8
Horse silk
Glenmalure Lodge14
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-9| J: J P O'Sullivan(7)| T: P J Rothwell
40/1
Well held at big prices in both a bumper and then here recently on her hurdles debut, when making mistakes. Needs to much more than that to get competitive.
9
Horse silk
On The Mill23
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-9| J: D J McInerney(3)| T: J Halley
50/1
Well held in all starts so far. Significant improvement needed now back over hurdles, though longer trip a plus.

Forecasts

Room To Roam (11/8), Sole Pretender (15/8), Emir De Rots (9/2), Stubborn Logic (10/1), Dedanann (14/1), Presenting Sun (33/1), Glenmalure Lodge (40/1), On The Mill (50/1), Fuzzbuster (50/1)

Verdict

This race revolves around ROOM TO ROAM, whose profile looks as though he could be a risky proposition. However, he undoubtedly has the strongest form of the field and is taken to finally get off the mark. Dedanann is interesting on his debut over hurdles and it would not surprise if he was thereabouts, while Sole Pretender and Stubborn Logic are others who make some appeal.
