Monotype^t⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: B J Cooper| T: P Nolan| OR: 130| CD

7/1

Winner here last May has basically been pretty consistent without success in novice chases this season. Fell last time prompting this return to hurdles and has enough ability to go close off such a mark.

Form: 66533F

Three Stars^p⁵⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: J J Slevin| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 130| D

11/2

Four-time winner although not since 2016. Returned to hurdling last time out when second of four at Leopardstown. That effort good enough to put him firmly in the mix here and all ground comes alike.

Form: 0-54702

Sole Pretender^h¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Jack Kennedy| T: N Lee| OR: 127| D

11/8

Already won twice (four starts) over hurdles with his latest run at Ballinrobe very impressive indeed. Upped 11lb by the handicapper today but could well prove to remain ahead of him and rates a leading player here.

Form: 14121

Arcenfete^t¹²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: D P Holden⁽⁷⁾| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 126| CD

10/1

Lightly raced sort won first two over fences despite not looking a natural over them and again made errors next before finally falling four out and once again was sketchy latest when pulled-up. Hurdles should help him but others more persuasive.

Form: 6-911FP

Oscars Den^t⁵⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 11-8| J: M J Stenson⁽⁷⁾| T: T M Walsh| OR: 126| D

12/1

May be in the veteran stage but ran right up to his best when taking a Navan handicap in February. Last of four since saw him behind Three Stars however and would be surprised if he can turn the tables.

Form: 062214

Morga¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: J S McGarvey| T: D McDonogh| OR: 125| C| D

14/1

Has won three times over hurdles although the last one came in 2015 so something of a distant memory. Has bits and pieces of good form since but on balance she is best avoided.

Form: 5-37005

Like An Open Book⁹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: M P Burke⁽⁵⁾| T: J M Burke| OR: 121| D

16/1

Dual scorer over hurdles an absolute model of consistency last winter until falling at Thurles when last seen in January. Handicapper has probably still got her on a tight leash but usually hard to keep her out of the frame.

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: Mark Walsh| T: A Leahy| OR: 120| C| D

25/1

Now 1lb lower than last winning mark (2017) but two efforts this year have shown us absolutely nothing to suggest he will capitalise.

Form: P34-3P0

Killiney Court^t¹⁸¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: H Morgan⁽⁷⁾| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 120

18/1

Five-time winner under rules does most of his racing over fences these days but last win came over hurdles. Freshened up for another summer campaign but may not have ground to his liking here.

Form: 107574

Kingston Girl⁶³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr D T Kelly⁽⁷⁾| T: L Comer| OR: 115

11/1

Very highly tried since maiden success in January but latest run in a Fairyhouse handicap (seventh of 14) more like it. Gets 1lb back but suggest she's still a few lb off competing.

Form: 271567

Forecasts

Sole Pretender (11/8), Three Stars (11/2), Monotype (7/1), Arcenfete (10/1), Kingston Girl (11/1), Oscars Den (12/1), Morga (14/1), Like An Open Book (16/1), Killiney Court (18/1), Getoutwhenyoucan (25/1)

An 11lb rise latest will really test SOLE PRETENDER but such was the manner of the Ballinrobe success he is chanced to follow-up here. Three Stars ran to a good level latest behind the useful Tombstone and rates the best of three Henry de Bromhead runners. Monotype can also play a leading role.
