66/1
Dual hurdles winner but disappointed in three starts over fences so far and likely to be of more interest once tackling handicaps.

Age: 6|  Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Kennedy| T: A Murray
66/1
Fair seventh over an extended 2m at Clonmel (yielding) on chase debut earlier this month. More needed if he's to take this contest however.

Age: 5|  Weight: 11-12| J: C A Landers(5)| T: M J McDonagh
100/1
Well beaten in a two beginners chases so far most recently over 2m6f at Thurles (soft) in March. Probably best watched on seasonal debut.

Call A Cab9
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-12| J: Mark Walsh| T: P A Fahy
25/1
Maiden hurdle winner on soft-to-heavy ground at Punchestown in February. Placed in that sphere since and interesting if building on his recent sixth on chase debut at the same venue.

66/1
Decent sixth over 2m2f at Galway (yielding) in a beginners chase in July. Failed to complete in two other chase starts including over 2m1f at Listowel (yielding-to-soft) last time out.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-12| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott| CD
9/1
Placed in a Grade 1 hurdle over 2m6f at Leopardstown (soft) in February. Changed yards since finishing 11th at Cheltenham in March and is a leading contender on debut over fences.

Duc Des Genievres235
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-12| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins
1/1
Hurdles winner on very soft going in France in May last year. Contested Graded company since joining this yard and is one to note on debut over fences.

Age: 5|  Weight: 11-12| J: Mr D O'Connor| T: Miss Ellmarie Holden
16/1
Dual winner over hurdles including over 2m4f at Limerick (heavy) last December. Worth a check in the market with a top amateur booked to ride on debut over fences.

10/1
Headed when falling at the last over 2m2f at Thurles (good) three weeks ago. Placed in Graded company over hurdles and remains of interest on just his third start over fences.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Flanagan| T: N Meade
25/1
Placed over 2m4f at Kilbeggan (yielding-to-soft) on chase debut in April. Early casualty on seasonal debut at Navan recently and interesting to see how he fares.

Horse silk
King's Wart10
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-12| J: M F Mooney| T: P Mooney
100/1
20 race maiden and probably best watched having been beaten 118L on chase debut at Navan (2m4f, yielding) last time out.

50/1
Had just two starts since winning a 2m Grade 2 novice hurdle at Naas (soft) in February 2015. Probably best watched in a first time tongue tie on debut over fences.

Midnight Stroll261
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-12| J: Phillip Enright| T: R Tyner
25/1
Dual hurdles winner last season but pulled up at Cork (2m3f, soft-to-heavy) in a first time hood (absent here) in April. Market support would be notable on chase and seasonal debut.

10/1
Handicap hurdle winner at Cork (2m3f, soft-to-heavy) on final start of last season. Fell at the first on chase debut at Punchestown (2m, yielding) last time out however.

On The Mend236
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-12| J: N P Madden| T: N Madden

Age: 5|  Weight: 11-12| J: J S McGarvey| T: P Roche
100/1
Placed in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel (heavy) in March. Struggled on chase debut at Navan (2m4f, yielding) last time out however and others make more appeal.

Maiden hurdle winner over 2m4f on heavy ground at Listowel in September last year. Decent efforts since and market support would be notable on chase debut.

Dual hurdles winner in France and finished a neck second on chase debut at Gowran Park (2m4f, yielding) last month on first start for this yard. One to note in this contest.

Forecasts

Duc Des Genievres (1/1), A Plus Tard (4/1), Carter Mckay (9/1), Ministerforsport (10/1), Impact Factor (10/1), Ex Patriot (16/1), Turbojet (16/1), Midnight Stroll (25/1), Call A Cab (25/1), Kagney (25/1), Lean Araig (50/1), Billy's Angel (66/1), Art Of Security (66/1), Carrig Cathal (66/1), King's War (100/1), Steer Clear (100/1), Brave Light (100/1), On The Mend (100/1)

Verdict

A PLUS TARD can put the experience of last months Gowran Park second to good use to get the better of a couple of chase debutants in this competitive beginners contest. Duc Des Genievres showed good form over hurdles and he can claim second on his debut over fences while third place can go to Grade 1-placed hurdler Carter McKay who is making his first start for this yard and also showed good form over the smaller obstacles.
  1. A Plus Tard
  2. Duc Des Genievres
  3. Carter Mckay
