5/6
Once-raced point-to-point winner, had no problems making all to land the odds in Down Royal bumper this month on debut for these connections. Serious player once more.

6/5
Scored with any amount in hand on debut at Ballinrobe in September. That came on testing ground, meets sounder surface here but again likely to be in the thick of it.

100/1
Thrice-raced son of New Approach, has it all to prove on form and major surprise if this is his day.

10/1
Morozov gelding bought for €12,000 as a three-year-old, then resold for £30,000. Closely related to winning pointer Eimears Oscar and needs market check on first start.

16/1
Twice-raced gelding with improvement to find after autumn starts at Listowel and Galway brought midfield finishes.

Fame And Glory filly is a half-sister to multiple winners, including smart hurdler/useful chaser River Liane. Market will reveal more on first start.

Farney Villa
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-7| J: Mr E Dwan(7)| T: J M Burke
50/1
Dubai Destination filly, not an obvious choice on pedigree and probably best watched on first start given calibre of opposition.

Jeremy filly fetched £20,000 as a four-year-old having won her only start in a point-to-point. Interesting debutante and could go well. Wears tongue-tie.

Forecasts

Malone Road (5/6), Mt Leinster (6/5), Mam Trasna (10/1), The Dude Abides (16/1), Highstreet Roller (20/1), Clancypantz (33/1), Felicity's Choice (33/1), Farney Villa (50/1), Castle Valley (100/1)

Verdict

A duel between the Mullins and Elliott camps, seemingly. Mt Leinster was very impressive in scoring at Ballinrobe on debut and should go well here on a sounder surface but the expensively acquired MALONE ROAD also looked good in his recent Down Royal success, where he made his own running. Jamie Codd's mount earns a slender call, with the betting perhaps more likely to separate them. Newcomer Highstreet Roller won her only point-to-point start and could run well.
