American Image⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr N Gault⁽⁷⁾| T: S Millar

100/1

Modest 85-rated handicap hurdler who remains an nine race maiden. Form overall has been below par of late and is unlikely to be improving at his age.

Form: 07233-9

Eviscerating^p,t³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: S A Shortall| T: J P O'Brien| BF

9/1

One from three in the point-to-point ranks and a useful 113-rated novice hurdler. Third of 11 beaten 9¾L on chasing debut in a Limerick 2m3½f contest last month. Genuine sort who should go well again.

Form: 037123-

From Eden^p¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott| OR: 124| D

4/1

Couldn't quite build on his taking Ayr victory when finishing down the field in subsequent runs at Perth and at the Punchestown festival earlier this month. Plenty of ability and an interesting recruit to the chasing game.

Form: 12214-0

Licklighter²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: A Ring| T: D Hogan

33/1

Modest 109-rated handicap hurdler who remains a 15-race maiden. Well held in three starts over timber last month and has plenty to prove on chasing introduction.

Form: 22440P-

Lord Schnapps^t²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: B J Cooper| T: M J Smith

8/1

Well held in sole point-to-point run, and disappointing in three subsequent maiden hurdle starts. Improved performance when finishing third of 12 beaten a little over 5L on chasing debut in a Cork beginners contest last month. Leading claims.

Form: 59443-

Megabucks^t1¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: J M Moore| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 112

14/1

Chosen Well gelding is an eight-race maiden under rules. Ran well in defeat on sole start over the larger obstacles finishing second of nine at Ludlow when in the care of trainer Henry Oliver 16 months ago. Worth a market check on debut.

Form: 2532/7-6

One In All In²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G O'Loughlin

20/1

In good form last summer including wins at Down Royal and Limerick for trainer Henry De Bromhead. Well held on first start for new yard last month and best watched on chasing debut here.

Form: 214870-

Reddot Dancer^h⁵²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: D P Holden⁽⁷⁾| T: L Young

100/1

Modest 80 -rated, 12-race maiden over hurdles. Well beaten and no impression on chasing introduction at Clonmel in March behind Littlestickrubarb. Tough ask on second start over fences.

Form: R77008-

The Irregular^p⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: S A Mulcahy⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 115| C

16/1

Experienced eight-race maiden over the larger obstacles but has run well in defeat previously and finished third of eight beaten over 12L in a Tipperary handicap earlier this month. Too early to be writing off just yet.

Form: 0/9600-3

The Mulcare Rover^p1⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: C A Landers⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs D A Love| D

12/1

Modest 115-rated handicap hurdler did not made the greatest start over the larger obstacles pulling up on his first two starts, before improving to run well in defeat in a couple of subsequent starts, jumping with more fluency. Shortlisted.

Form: PP8P4-2

Road Warrior^p1,t1²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Sean Flanagan| T: N Meade

25/1

Fair jumps pedigree and represents top yard but has shown very little in four hurdle starts to date. Likely to be well-prepped for chasing introduction and worthy of a check in the market in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 757040-

Put The Kettle On¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: R M Power| T: H De Bromhead

5/4

Solid and consistent over hurdles gaining a 111-rating in the process. Market likely to reveal expectations on chasing debut.

Form: 52153-3

Forecasts

Put The Kettle On (5/4), From Eden (4/1), Lord Schnapps (8/1), Eviscerating (9/1), The Mulcare Rover (12/1), Megabucks (14/1), The Irregular (16/1), One In All In (20/1), Road Warrior (25/1), Turbo (25/1), Licklighter (33/1), American Image (100/1), Reddot Dancer (100/1)

The Matthew Smith-tarained, LORD SCHNAPPS can build on a promising chasing debut when staying on well from the last to finish third of 12 at Cork last month. The six-year-old can land the spoils ahead of Put The Kettle On, who ran well to finish in the frame at the Punchestown festival earlier this month and looks and interesting chasing recruit. Megabucks for Champion hurdle winning trainer, Gavin Cromwell can claim prize money.
