Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Sean Flanagan| T: Miss E Doyle| OR: 147| D

11/2

Twice a winner over fences, including over this sort of trip at Leopardstown in February. Well held at Cheltenham Festival and on final start (hurdles) at Punchestown. Capable fresh and should run well.

Form: 57/0100-

Jett¹⁹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: R M Power| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 147| D

11/4

Useful novice last term, including two wins at Thurles (both 2m2f, soft), though well adrift of Last Goodbye at Leopardstown in February (2m5f, soft). Should be more to come this season.

Form: 23912-4

Drumconnor Lad^t⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr L P Gilligan⁽⁷⁾| T: A Keatley| OR: 129| D

9/1

Has a couple of wins over fences though record recently is only patchy and, given variety of trips attempted, seems quite hard to place. Surprising should he be the answer here.

Form: 467P34

Tycoon Prince^t¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott| OR: 142

9/4

Started off chasing career with some promise, winning 2m1f Leopardstown beginners' chase in December. No match for Footpad in Irish Arkle and poor after. Fine second to Saint Calvados in Naas Grade 3 (2m, good to yielding) on return.

Form: 1FP9P-2

Wishmoor^t²⁸⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 132| D

3/1

Decent novice last season for Mouse Morris, winning back-to-back Naas contests over 2m4f in January/February. Off since and relocated, there may be improvement to come still.

Form: 532411-

Oh Me Oh My⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: A E Lynch| T: Ms M Flynn| OR: 112| C

33/1

Winner over 2m2f on good ground here last October in a beginners' contest (left well clear). Finished 15L fourth in 2m4f Clonmel Listed race only start thereafter. Surely needs plenty more on reappearance.

Form: F06-714

Forecasts

Tycoon Prince (9/4), Jett (11/4), Wishmoor (3/1), Last Goodbye (11/2), Drumconnor Lad (9/1), Oh Me Oh My (33/1)

WISHMOOR was progressive last season for Mouse Morris and could have plenty more to offer for his trainer this season. This trip will play to his strengths and that might count for plenty. Tycoon Prince ran an excellent second behind Saint Calvados in graded company at Naas this month and demands maximum respect while the likes of Jett and Oh Me Oh My are potential improvers. Last Goodbye will do well to concede weight all round on the first day back at school.
