Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: M J Molloy⁽⁷⁾| T: P Nolan

50/1

Beaten favourite towards the end of the year in a point-to-point start before finishing a well beaten ninth of 19 on rules debut in a Gowran Park bumper when last seen in February. Others preferred.

Form: 49-

Kalanisi Og²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| CD

6/4

Daughter of Kalanisi out of a Accordion mare. Winner on debut at this track 12 months ago and well beaten on return to action at Gowran Park earlier this month. Yard have a 38% strike rate at this meeting in the last four years.

Form: 1-7

Kilcarry View⁸⁰

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

12/1

Unfancied and well beaten on first hurdle appearance at Navan in March before winning a Sligo maiden over 2m1f in August, only to lose the race in the stewards room. Entitled to make the shortlist.

Form: 60-D

Kilshanvey Lady^h1,t1²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: M J Bolger| T: G Hussey

66/1

Failed to figure in two Galway bumpers 12 months ago before pulling up when tailing off on return to action at Gowran Park earlier this month. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 00-P

Mount Ida^t1²⁰⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott| D

6/4

Traveled strongly for a long way on her hurdles debut before finding a more experienced rival too strong at Punchestown in February. Likely to be a leading fancy for yard who are eight from 36 runners in the last four years at this meeting.

Form: 4121-

Porterhorse^t1¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: D J McInerney| T: E McCarthy

50/1

Faied to improve on pleasing debut at Listowel last month before a dismal bumper effort at Carlisle earlier this month. Best watched on hurdling debut.

Form: 60

Tokyo Getaway¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: J M Moore| T: G P Cromwell

14/1

Winning pointer who was just a modest fifth on her debut in this sphere at Roscommon before a similar outcome in a 2m3f Downpatrick maiden earlier this month. Others make more appeal.

Form: 521-354

Forecasts

Mount Ida (6/4), Kalanisi Og (6/4), Fag An Bealach (4/1), Kilcarry View (12/1), Tokyo Getaway (14/1), High Viz (50/1), Porterhorse (50/1), All The Mollies (50/1), Beautiful Betsy (66/1), Kilshanvey Lady (66/1)

The Gordon Elliott yard have a fine record at this meeting in the last four years and their representative here, MOUNT IDA can land the opener under jockey Davy Russell. The daughter of Yeats can build on her good second of 12 on hurdling debut at Punchestown in February and a win in a Wexford bumper when last seen in April. Kalanisi Og for trainer Willie Mullins can emerge as the biggest danger, another yard who have a solid record at this meeting since 2015. Kilcarry View won a Sligo maiden over 2m1f in August, only to be disqualified later, appears capable of hitting the frame while Tokyo Getaway is likely to be better than her initial hurdling starts suggest.
