7/2
Modest 102-rated handicap hurdler. Yet to hit the frame in three starts over the larger obstacles since October. Needs to build on career best effort at Fairyhouse last month and holds leading claims in this company.

9/1
Veteran. Winner of two of his 12 starts over fences including a victory here over 2m2f in November 2018. Last win came a month later with the gelding still racing off a 4lb higher than his last winning mark.

9/1
Off the mark at the fourth time of asking for connections over fences when landing a Killarney 2m5f handicap chase in August off a 7lb lower mark. Beaten since. Holds an entry in the Cross Country Chase at Punchestown at the weekend.

6/1
Lightly raced mare, missed 12 months between November 2018 and October 2019. Nothing of note in a number of below-par efforts since. Very little to be positive about.

Capture The Drama12
Age: 12|  Weight: 10-12| J: Phillip Enright| T: Aengus King| OR:  97| D
16/1
Veteran who has won eight of his 54 starts over fences will his last victory coming in a Clonmel handicap in December 2018 off a 13lb higher mark. Looks to be regressing.

Horse silk
Sea Scorpionb,t27
Age: 9|  Weight: 10-10| J: Sean Flanagan| T: Miss E Doyle| OR:  95
14/1
Miserly career return of one win from 21 starts including a couple of heavy reversals over fences in October/November last year. Well beaten on latest start over hurdles last month and looks opposable once again.
7
Horse silk
Grey Atlantic Wayb14
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-7| J: B J Foley(5)| T: E Linehan| OR:  92
7/1
Very modest hurdler who showed up well until halfway on chase debut at Cork before finishing 45L adrift of the winner of a Gowran Park beginners contest on soft/heavy ground last month.
8
Horse silk
Just Call Me28
Age: 10|  Weight: 10-7| J: B Browne(5)| T: A J McNamara| OR:  92| D
8/1
Lightly raced gelding in the last 12 months. Yet to hit the frame in four starts over fences failing to complete in three of his starts. Profile suggests he is worth taking on again.
9
Horse silk
Cluan Dara33
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-5| J: Liam Quinlan(5)| T: J P Ryan| OR:  90
11/2
103-rated handicap hurdler. Very little signs of ability in a couple of starts over the larger obstacles since his debut at Galway in October. May struggle once again.
10
Horse silk
La Regle52
Age: 7|  Weight: 9-10| J: A W Short(3)| T: P J Rothwell| OR:  81
8/1
Unplaced in 13 now with bumpers, hurdles and chases all providing similar struggles. Unlikely to be troubling the judge in this contest.

Forecasts

Brog Ahaon (7/2), Cluan Dara (11/2), Flamingo's Court (6/1), Grey Atlantic Way (7/1), Just Call Me (8/1), La Regle (8/1), Thatbeatsbanagher (9/1), Barna Venture (9/1), Sea Scorpion (14/1), Capture The Drama (16/1)

Verdict

THATBEATSBANAGHER got off the mark at the fourth time of asking for connections over fences when landing a Killarney 2m5f handicap chase in August off a 7lb lower mark. beaten since, the six-year-old can get back to winning ways at the expense of the Moses McCabe-trained Brog Ahaon. In a tight and tricky contest Flamingo's Court, Grey Atlantic Way and Barna Venture can compete for minor honours.
