Aloneamongmillions³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr D O'Connor| T: S Curling

10/3

Has confidently won his last four starts in point-to-point contests between March 2019 and February this year with his only blip being a fall on debut; excellent chance if progressing again.

Form: F1-111

Call It Magic^b²⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr T Hamilton| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 129

16/1

Was below his best in 2019 being unsuccessful in five starts last seen struggling at Punchestown in November; has reasonable form in the past and definite chance if able to rekindle past efforts buoyed by fair recent point-to-point efforts.

Form: U6-39P2

Danjaman¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr F Maguire⁽³⁾| T: R K Watson

33/1

Has an undistinguished form profile under Rules but this lightly-raced gelding will have been encouraged by a recent win in a point-to-point; remains open to improvement and one to consider.

Form: 2U82P1

Fenno's Storm^b1,t1²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: R Deegan⁽⁵⁾| T: D Queally| OR: 129| CD

10/3

Comfortably won this contest last year (and the year before) on soft ground; has been busy and consistent in point-to-points over the winter; excellent chance if taking to first-time blinkers and tongue-tie.

Form: 143232

Macs Legend¹⁶

Age: 12| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr J C Barry⁽⁵⁾| T: G Kelleher| OR: 113| D

11/2

Fourth in this contest last year behind Fenno's Storm; generally consistent, he won last time out in a similar contest at Thurles when grinding down his rivals; fair chance but may need a few to falter.

Form: 251141

Oscar Contender^p1²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr J W Hannon⁽⁷⁾| T: D H Kelly

9/1

Has scored once in three starts under Rules when winning a maiden hunters chase at Cork (3m); has been busy on the pointing circuit and if able to bring that consistency to this contest he has a reasonable chance in first time cheekpieces.

Form: 4-23331

Screaming Colours^p1,t²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr L J McGuinness⁽⁷⁾| T: W Durkan| OR: 127

7/1

Shock 80/1 winner of a beginners chase contest at Fairyhouse last April; failed to progress but found new lease of life when winning a point-to-point recently; hard to assess but should be full of confidence. in first time cheekpieces.

Form: 761/58-1

7/1

Landed a double on the point-to-point circuit before winning a 14 runner Clonmel hunter chase over 2m4f in January; below par last time but fair chance with better luck in running.

Form: 5/5-1114

Wounded Warrior^p,t1¹⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr P A King⁽⁷⁾| T: S Curling| OR: 129

If FENNO'S STORM faces up to first-time blinkers and tongue-tie then he has a reasonable chance of recording a hat-trick in this contest following successes in 2018 and 2019. The nine-year-old has warmed up for this contest (as he did last year) with a few spins in point-to-point events and is very happy on a testing surface. Aloneamongmillions has been showing very progressive form in point-to-points recently and if able to carry on that form then he has an excellent chance here. The relatively lightly-raced Danjaman is an interesting contender who, although has not shown great form under Rules, has solid form in point contests and is one to consider.
