Deans Road³⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-10| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 135| D

7/1

Has failed to finish in his last three starts, however, he was travelling well on his return to action at Kilbeggan (2m4f) before unseating his rider three fences from home. Remains off the same mark so may be worth giving another chance.

Form: 07/3FP-U

Mrs Lovett⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: D A Jacob| T: G Elliott| OR: 128| D

5/1

Although she has yet to score this season in four starts, she has been running consistently well. Could only finish seventh of 16 at Limerick (2m6f) last time. Down in trip which will suit her. Each-way claims.

Form: 45-3437

Reach Up^t³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Liam Quinlan⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 127

4/1

Has made a good start to his chasing career with two wins from seven starts. Was successful on his seasonal reappearance at Punchestown last month over 2m. Has gone up 6lb for that victory. Up in trip. One to consider.

Form: F1437-1

Killiney Court^t³⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 10-12| J: H Morgan⁽⁷⁾| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 123| CD

9/4

A C&D winner who made a successful winning return over hurdles last time at Downpatrick (2m3f) where he was impressive in scoring by 4¼L. Is rated 5lb lower over fences than his current hurdles mark. Leading contender.

Form: 75747-1

Lucky Pat^t⁷⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 10-12| J: P E Corbett| T: Mrs D A Love| OR: 123| D

16/1

Made a return to action after a long lay-off back in March but has failed to impress in his two starts since his return. Could only finish sixth of eight last time at Down Royal (2m). Going up in trip which should help but others stand out more.

Form: U246/6-6

Trongate⁹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Danny Mullins| T: P M Cloke| OR: 120| D

18/1

Won twice over fences earlier last season, including over this distance at Ayr. His last appearance came in April when he was fifth of nine at Ayr (3m). Back down in distance on first run for new yard. Others make more of an appeal.

Wishmoor^b⁴⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-9| J: Donagh Meyler| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 120| D

10/1

Is now 5lb below his last winning mark but his form this season has to be a major concern. He was 10th of 14 on his previous appearance at Roscommon (3m½f). Taking a big drop in trip here. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 09-PPP0

Venezia^t¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-1| J: B J Cooper| T: E J O'Grady| OR: 112| D

5/1

Was successful on the Flat back in April in a 1m5f contest at Navan. Has come close on a couple of occasions to build upon that success. This is his first chase appearance since October 2018. Jumping may not be sharp so he may just need this run.

Forecasts

Killiney Court (9/4), Reach Up (4/1), Mrs Lovett (5/1), Venezia (5/1), Deans Road (7/1), Barna Venture (8/1), Wishmoor (10/1), Lucky Pat (16/1), Trongate (18/1)

KILLINEY COURT looked fit and sharp on his seasonal reappearance at Downpatrick where he was successful over hurdles. This looks a smart switch back to fences as he is rated 5lb lower as a chaser which he can take advantage of here to follow up his recently success. Reach Up has gone up 6lb for his recent victory at Punchestown but he should remain competitive here over this longer trip, while Deans Road would have been in the frame last time if he had not unseated his rider three fences from home so he can go close off the same mark.
