4/1
Looked a chasing type when landing a Naas maiden hurdle but he has had issues with burst blood vessels since. Will have little difficulty with the longer trip, but hard to trust he will remain sound.

33/1
Longstanding maiden who was second of 19 at Cork last July. Back to a more modest level later that month and this chase debut will be his first run since.

Derby De Thaix11
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-12| J: S A Mulcahy(7)| T: D Hogan
40/1
Bumper winner who has proved inconsistent over hurdles. Looks the stable third string on chase debut going off jockey bookings.

6/4
Winning point-to-pointer was not far off being the best of these over hurdles and he certainly looks one of the more progressive. Has the build of a chaser and it would be disappointing if he did not put up a bold show.

16/1
Winner between the flags and over hurdles. Made a satisfactory debut over fences last June, but an absence since casts a doubt he will be up to the task.
6

Robbies Magic54
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-12| J: D J McInerney(3)| T: R Hackett
66/1
Failed to figure in six starts under Rules including on chase debut. Likely to be of more interest once eligible for handicaps.

Age: 6|  Weight: 11-12| J: Phillip Enright| T: M F Morris
12/1
Moderate 88-rated hurdler outran that mark over fences last time. Hard to use the runner-up as a yardstick, but he still rates a big player if reproducing that sort of effort.
8
Horse silk
The Church Gatet39
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-12| J: Keith Donoghue| T: M J Smith| OR:  107| BF| D
7/2
Rated superior to a lot of these over hurdles and he is one of the more experienced chasers in the lineup. Beaten even-money favourite on return to the larger obstacles last month so questions to answer.
9
Horse silk
The Granson25
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Flanagan| T: D Hogan| C
7/1
Only win came here over hurdles and he would be the highest rated of these over timber. Came down early on chase debut and was never in the hunt next time. Booking of top rider suggests he may be ready to step up.
10
Horse silk
Three Kingsp38
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott
7/1
Landed a fast ground point-to-point in January and has gone well on both starts for this yard. Held every chance before coming down at Leopardstown and he is one for the shortlist.

Whoyakoddingp26
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-12| J: Danny Mullins| T: G Ahern| D
40/1
Wexford hurdle winner has been out of sorts lately. Hard to fancy on chase debut against higher rated rivals.

Forecasts

Eviscerating (6/4), The Church Gate (7/2), At Your Ease (4/1), Three Kings (7/1), The Granson (7/1), Sizing Joshua (12/1), Highandmighty (16/1), Bensachuine (33/1), Derby De Thaix (40/1), Whoyakodding (40/1), Robbies Magic (66/1)

Verdict

Three Kings will surely be placed to advantage before long and today could well be the day, although handicaps should prove a better option. Eviscerating and THE GRANSON are rated superior over hurdles and the former looks a real chasing type. However, the selection was the pick of these over timber and he will be better for a first completion over fences. With Davy Russell taking the reins there is every likelihood of better to come and this will take little winning.
  1. The Granson
  2. Eviscerating
  3. Three Kings
