40/1

103-rated handicap hurdler and a winner over the larger obstacles when last seen in March. Sole start on the level came on the AW at Dundalk finishing down the 14 runner field in October last year. More needed on Flat turf debut.

66/1

Rated a 109 handicap chaser, pulled up when going lame at Punchestown in October when sent off the 11/4f. Looks opposable on Flat turf debut.

Got Trumped¹²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington

4/1

128-rated handicap hurdler. Has hit the frame in tow of his three starts on the level. Solid enough form on the Flat to come in for consideration in this contest.

Form: 29/2-

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Sean Davis| T: T Collins

100/1

Gelding by Elusive Pimpernel out of a Diamond Green mare. Related to Strahan, winner over 6f. Dam was a maiden. Will possibly need the run on debut.

Liquid Luck¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: O J Orr| T: J G Murphy| BF

7/1

Bated Breath gelding out of a Medicean mare. Cost €58,000 as a yearling. Has shaped well on both starts so far on the AW at Dundalk before showing a good attitude on seasonal debut at Gowran Park earlier this month. One for any shortlist.

Form: 2-5

Muyam Spirit¹⁷⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: James J Doyle| T: D Hogan

33/1

Rated a 105 handicapper over the larger obstacles. Last seen finishing fourth of 18 beaten over 15L in a Cork 2m4f beginners contest in January. Worth a market check on Flat debut.

Peregrine Run²²⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 9-9| J: Ben Coen⁽³⁾| T: Peter Fahey| C

18/1

Solid 159-rated son of Kings Theatre over the larger obstacles. Fell in the 2019 Grand National at Aintree. Fourth of seven runners on sole start on the Flat at Killarney two years ago.

Form: 4/

The Abbey¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: L F Roche| T: G Elliott

66/1

Decent 104-rated handicap hurdler, well beaten and never nearer in a couple of career starts on the Flat. Probably best watched on this occasion.

Form: 6-0

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: R P Downey| T: P W Flynn

100/1

Filly by Mukhadram out of a Dalakhani mare. Low-cost 26,000gns as a yearling. Closely related to Subway Dancer, winner over 1m2f. Probably not a good sign with first-time tongue strap on debut.

Mount Jannu³¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Robbie Colgan| T: A J Martin

80/1

Daughter of Cape Cross out of a Galileo mare. Well held but not disgraced in a couple of career starts so far when last seen in August when in the hands of trainer Joseph O'Brien. Appeared to be one that would always improve.

Form: 48-

Penny Out¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: T E Whelan| T: J E Kiely| C

7/1

Useful 116-rated handicap hurdler, finished third of seven in a Grade 3 Mares Novice contest in November. Ran well in defeat on return to the Flat at this venue over a similar trip earlier this month.

Form: 60-5

28/1

Second Reserve: Sold for £1,000 at the Doncaster sales in October after failing to make it to the racecourse for Godolphin. Not disgraced at odds of 66/1 on debut at Gowran Park recently. More needed.

It's difficult to see past the clear and obvious chance of the Donnacha O'Brien-trained GREAT HOUSE in this contest. The colt by Galileo can improve on his second of 14 in a Gowran Park maiden earlier this month, holding off the attention of the Jessica Harrington-trained Got Trumped who can emerge as the biggest danger. Faller in the 2019 Grand National at Aintree, Peregrine Run finished fourth of seven runners on sole start on the Flat at Killarney two years ago and can compete for the minor honours with Rasiym who caught the eye when second of 15 beaten a head on return to action on the Flat at this venue over a similar trip earlier this month.
