Off time: 12:30 | Winning time: 5m 5.1s

Bergkamp³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: P J Cawley⁽⁷⁾| T: P G Kelly

12/1

Well beaten in two maiden hurdles at Galway in September and October; difficult to see where the improvement will come from to be a leading contender here.

Form: 778/70

Justice Jim^p1,t¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: H P Cleary⁽⁷⁾| T: Michael G Cleary

100/1

Unfancied and well beaten on latest three hurdle starts on various types of going; unlikely to be good enough.

Form: 980

Moscowsowhat²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: E Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: J Dullea

6/1

Runner up in point-to-point on debut but poor form in three runs over hurdles and plenty to prove at present.

Form: 25-099

Punitive³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: D P Holden⁽⁷⁾| T: H De Bromhead

9/4

Showed little in bumpers last season but two promising runs in hurdle races at Wexford and Punchestown in October suggest he is going the right way and looks one for the shortlist.

Form: R40-54

Rebel Waltz¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: R P Treacy⁽⁵⁾| T: T J Nagle-Jr

100/1

Generally disappointing in bumpers and it was a similar story on hurdles debut at Cork earlier this month; too early to write off but signs don't look good.

Form: 88-0

Cahirdown Boy¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: J B Kane⁽⁵⁾| T: E McNamara

16/1

Has at least finished his last two races but was never a danger in either and needs to improve his jumping to get competitive.

Form: FP70

Henry Sellers⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr L P Gilligan⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Gilligan

33/1

Showed precious little in two bumpers before being sent over hurdles at Gowran Park recently; not disgraced in that contest and would not need to improve too much to get involved in this weak contest.

Form: 574

Key Commander²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: N P Madden| T: E Doyle

4/1

Made steady progress last season and looked all over the winner when falling at the last at Limerick in March; never a danger on reappearance run at Naas recently; should be fitter here and one to consider.

Form: 704F-0

Mazboon^b1¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Liam McKenna⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Lambe

100/1

Blinkered fitted here in the hope of a change of fortune; finished 21 of 22 last time out at Punchestown and had shown negligible ability previously; easily passed over.

Form: U00

One For Joe¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: O R Brown⁽⁷⁾| T: C Byrnes

14/1

Glimpses of ability in bumpers but no real show on his hurdling debut recently at Cork; entitled to improve but there look to be better options in this contest.

Form: 800

Tommy Kiln⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Simon Torrens⁽⁷⁾| T: M J Bowe

20/1

Well beaten on all his racecourse appearances; did finish 4th last time out but was beaten a long way and not really one to consider at present.

Form: 7784

Get Home¹⁹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: S A Shortall| T: Olivia Hegarty

66/1

Looks up against it on all known form but has at least completed both her hurdle starts and while fanciful to believe she is capable of winning, a place finish would not be a total surprise.

Form: 664F8-9

Johanna Yeats³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: A McCurtin⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Walsh| OR: 86

5/1

Fair effort in recent run in a handicap at Galway (2m2f, soft) which is arguably the pick of the form in this contest; would not need to improve too much to be a leading contender.

Form: 009-4

Kilcarry View³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: J P O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Ryan

8/1

Bumper winner (albeit subsequently disqualified) who is still to get to grip with hurdling and tends to be let down by her jumping; fair chance if problems have been ironed out.

Form: 60-D5

Forecasts

Punitive (9/4), Key Commander (4/1), Johanna Yeats (5/1), Moscowsowhat (6/1), Kilcarry View (8/1), Bergkamp (12/1), One For Joe (14/1), Cahirdown Boy (16/1), Tommy Kiln (20/1), Henry Sellers (33/1), Get Home (66/1), Rebel Waltz (100/1), Justice Jim (100/1), Mazboon (100/1)

JOHANNA YEATS drops back in class from handicaps and her trainer might have found a decent opportunity to get a confidence boosting win under her belt. She finished pretty one-paced in that handicap contest but given the paucity of talent on show here, that form might be good enough. Key Commander should be fitter for his recent outing at Naas and returned to the venue which nearly saw him land a similar contest last March. Punitive will be well supported given his connections and is slowly improving but may have to wait for another day to break his maiden tag.
