Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr D L Queally⁽³⁾| T: D Queally| OR: 102

5/1

Winner of one of his 14 starts over hurdles. Lightly raced since sole win in December 2017 and still racing off a 7lb higher mark. Tough test from top weight.

Form: F3/9P3-6

Bourbon Borderline¹⁷²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: Mr B O'Neill| T: C Bowe| OR: 101

5/1

Off the mark in Irish point-to-points at the second attempt he started favourite for his bumper debut but wasn't seen to best effect finishing third. First run since failing to make the mark for trainer Dan Skelton

Form: F13/58U-

Henry Sellers⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: J G Gilligan⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Gilligan| OR: 101

11/1

Posted a career best effort finishing second of 16 runners at Limerick over 2m6f on return to action last month. Needs to repeat that run here.

Form: 77570-2

Ard Na Carraig^b,t⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: B Browne⁽⁵⁾| T: O McKiernan| OR: 100

20/1

19-race maiden over hurdles. The encouraging signs of the early part of last season appears to have diminished in a number of starts since the turn of the year including on seasonal debut at Limerick last month.

Form: F2079-0

Bennaway⁶¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: P D Kennedy| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 100

33/1

Five-race maiden. Not seen often on the racetrack in the last two years. Market likely to be the best guide on return to action for patient connections.

Form: 239749/

Gambling Mistress¹⁸⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: R M Power| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 99

10/1

In the frame in a couple of maiden hurdles, but was beaten when falling on her handicap debut at Gowran in November before a dismal effort the next month at Leopardstown. Plenty of questions to be answered on comeback.

Form: 6/324F0-

Kilganer Queen^t⁴⁹³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-11| J: C A Landers⁽⁵⁾| T: T Cleary| OR: 99| D

66/1

Dual distance winner over hurdles and in the point-to-point ranks for previous yard. Needs to improve on disappointing run at Naas in February on sole start for trainer Paul Flynn. Best watched.

Form: 1P7176/

Basil's Boy³²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: D F O'Regan| T: L P Cusack| OR: 98

20/1

Continued in reasonable form following a win at the seventh attempt for connections when taking a Downpatrick handicap hurdle over 2m5½f in June off a 12lb lower mark. Place claims.

Form: 0/01532-

Epsilon Indi⁴³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: A J McNamara| OR: 98

20/1

Winner of one of his 15 career starts over hurdles. Not seen since finishing third of 15 runners at Sligo over 2m4f in April 2019. Market likely to be the best guide on return.

Form: 2023P/3-

Midnight Wilde^t1¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: J B Kane⁽⁵⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 98

20/1

Has disappointing in three career starts over hurdles for current connections. Appeared on the Flat last month without success over 1m4f at Fairyhouse. Could be of interest now in handicap company.

Form: 009-

Captain Courageous⁴²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: J M Moore| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 97| BF

20/1

Winner on the Flat for trainer Ed Walker. Eight-race maiden, not seen since an 18L reversal in a Ballinrobe 2m1f contest in May 2019. Will need to raise overall profile to get competitive.

Form: 00052/9-

William of Wykeham^t²⁰⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: J J Slevin| T: M M McNiff| OR: 97

66/1

Seven-race maiden who has produced a mixed bag of efforts in a number of starts over timber between September 2018 and December last year. Hard to place any faith in.

Form: 55P/650-

Bread And Butter¹⁰¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: C P McNamara⁽⁵⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 96

7/2

Without a win in seven starts over hurdles but has shown some signs of ability in a number of starts in February/March before lockdown. Open to significant improvement.

Form: 000625-

Caddy Shack¹⁰⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr J P Berry⁽⁷⁾| T: J A Berry| OR: 95

16/1

Off the mark for connections at the 13th time of asking at Wexford off a 10lb lower mark in October. Mixed couple of efforts since and step back up in trip a concern.

Form: P33143-

Rebel Waltz¹¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: E Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: T J Nagle-Jr| OR: 95

14/1

Better efforts for the six-race maiden have come over the trip of 2m. Well held over similar distances previously and hard to fancy with better handicapped sorts lurking.

Forecasts

Bread And Butter (7/2), Bourbon Borderline (5/1), Global Fert (5/1), Gambling Mistress (10/1), Castlehume (10/1), Henry Sellers (11/1), Rebel Waltz (14/1), Caddy Shack (16/1), Captain Courageous (20/1), Ard Na Carraig (20/1), Epsilon Indi (20/1), Basil's Boy (20/1), Kilmurry (20/1), Midnight Wilde (20/1), Bennaway (33/1), Kilganer Queen (66/1), William of Wykeham (66/1), Pat Coyne (66/1)

A repeat of the run at Limerick last month can see the Paul Gilligan-trained HENRY SELLERS get off the mark for connections at the eighth time of asking. The five-year-old showed plenty of promise on return to action and can hold off the attentions of the Liam Cusack-trained Basil's Boy, who was running well in defeat around this time last year. The 10-year-old Global Fert and Gambling Mistress, placed over C&D previously can compete for remaining prize money.
