Aherlow46
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-8| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead| OR:  121
7/2
Fair third on penultimate start prior to a modest handicap chase debut. Open to improvement with his yard in such good form, but overall he faces a stiff task at the weights should any of his rivals run to their best.
2
Horse silk
Exactorist44
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-6| J: Mark Walsh| T: J P O'Brien| OR:  119
13/8
130-rated hurdler in his prime who has made errors on his last two chase starts prior to pulling up. Best run for a while over hurdles last time and would not discount if supported.
3
Horse silk
Great Khant47
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-5| J: Paul Townend| T: E J O'Grady| OR:  118| C
7/1
Sole victory in 17 races came on heavy ground here over hurdles. Has not tackled this trip since his point-to-point career, but worth trying something new as he is becoming frustrating.
4
Horse silk
Tell Me Annie39
Age: 10|  Weight: 11-4| J: Donagh Meyler| T: D Queally
11/4
Unbeaten point-to-pointer and 127-rated hurdler. Highly tried on both starts over fences but will find this a lot easier. Burst a blood vessel last time.
5
Horse silk
Frankly All Talk30
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-0| J: A Ring| T: R K Watson| OR:  109
7/1
No match for a 124-rated rival on first attempt at 3m over fences. That form sets the standard and best to forgive a run over an inadequate trip last time.
6
Horse silk
Pateen62
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-0| J: A W Short(3)| T: P G Kelly
25/1
Rated 118 over hurdles but he has not been at his best since Galway 2017 and was well beaten on his chasing bow.

Forecasts

Exactoris (13/8), Tell Me Annie (11/4), Aherlow (7/2), Frankly All Talk (7/1), Great Khan (7/1), Pateen (25/1)

Verdict

There are doubts about all of these and the market may be informative, particularly in regard to the chances of Exactoris. Aherlow has a stiff task conceding weight to all but, with his yard in good form, he may be more likely to give his running. Great Khan looks a difficult ride and Pateen has been out of form. Tell Me Annie was the best of these over hurdles and drops in class having contested Graded races on her first two chase starts. She burst a blood vessel last time and it may be safer to side with FRANKLY ALL TALK who produced a career best over this trip two runs ago. The allowance he receives makes him the one to beat on that form.
  1. Frankly All Talk
  2. Tell Me Annie
  3. Aherlow
