Finished in the money in four starts over hurdles but was bereft of any ability on his final two starts for previous handler. Best watched on stable debut.

Pass Hymn^h,t²⁷¹

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: J J Slevin| T: G J Power| OR: 109| CD

10/1

Winner over C&D on his one and only visit to this venue when landing the spoils on good ground in this contest 12 months ago off a 5lb lower mark. Leading player.

Scully's Dream¹²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-13| J: M J Bolger| T: J Fahey| OR: 108

14/1

Yet to hit the frame in five starts over hurdles. Beaten and weakened before the last in a couple of starts this year in the lead up to the break over a similar trip. May struggle in the conditions.

Form: 1/00B76-

Stylish Moment²¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Phillip Enright| T: E Doyle| OR: 107| BF

14/1

Solid and consistent 119-rated handicapper over the larger obstacles but yet to get off the mark over timber in eight starts. Shouldn't be underestimated.

Accidental Rebel⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 106

3/1

Seven-race maiden, ran well on return to action at Tipperary recently and should be up for this. One of two in the line-up for yard who saddled five winners from 33 national hunt runners since racing came back last month.

Form: 57240-4

Stander²⁵⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: A W Short⁽³⁾| T: P Stafford| OR: 105

50/1

One win from 11 starts over hurdles. Ran well in defeat when last seen over timber in a Wexford 2m½f contest in October. Looks a tall order on comeback run.

Form: 74950/4-

Touch Of Gold^p,t¹⁰⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: P D Kennedy| T: M Kennedy| OR: 105| D

20/1

Winner of three of his 27 starts over timber the latest of which came in a Clonmel handicap hurdle over a similar trip in September off a 5lb lower mark. May find one or two better handicapped sorts in the line-up.

Form: 461495-

Benefit North^t¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: D F O'Regan| T: C A McBratney| OR: 104

10/1

Off the mark for connections at the 13th time of asking when landing a 2m3f hurdle off a 7lb lower mark before a set back at Limerick on return to action last month. Better than last run suggests.

Form: 407F1-4

Canadian Steel^t¹⁰⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr O McGill⁽⁷⁾| T: N C Kelly| OR: 104

125/1

Veteran. Run off a similar mark over fences as he does over hurdles. Well beaten in a number of starts in both disciplines between August and March. Difficult to see where improvement is coming from.

Form: 124800-

The Wonky Tonk¹⁹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Sean Flanagan| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 104

11/1

Making handicap debut following three low key efforts last term. Yard have started back well with National hunt runners since racing came back with a 30% win and place strike rate, five winners from 33 runners.

Form: 570-

Whatsinthecorner^t³¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: B J Cooper| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 103

14/1

Yet to score in 20 starts over hurdles. Not seen since pulling up at Downpatrick in August. Stable have saddled two national hunt winners from 18 runners since racing returned last month.

Form: 2255BP-

Presenting Mahler¹¹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: Danny Mullins| T: J P Ryan| OR: 102| D

40/1

Back down to 1lb lower than last winning mark. Possibly best watched with the yard saddling one winner from 12 starts over jumps since racing returned last month.

Form: PU7908-

Brawny^h⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: L P Dempsey| T: G Elliott| OR: 102

25/1

Yet to claim prize money in four starts over timber. Makes handicap debut. Caution with the yard starting slowly since racing resumed saddling one winner over the jumps from 31 starters.

Form: 8P7-6

Shamad²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Kevin Sexton| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 97

2/1

Second Reserve: Ex-Dermot Weld runner suddenly found his mojo on the Flat last summer and won four times in five starts in Ireland/UK. Yet to hit the frame in four starts over hurdles. Worth a market check on handicap debut.

Forecasts

Shamad (2/1), Accidental Rebel (3/1), Go Fox (5/1), Resurrected Duke (6/1), Benefit North (10/1), Pass Hymn (10/1), Fulysse (10/1), The Wonky Tonk (11/1), Whatsinthecorner (14/1), Stylish Moment (14/1), Scully's Dream (14/1), Touch Of Gold (20/1), Brawny (25/1), Ashqar (28/1), Presenting Mahler (40/1), Stander (50/1), Canadian Steel (125/1)

ACCIDENTAL REBEL can continue the good form of the stable to get off the mark for connections at the seventh time of asking. The six-year-old will strip fitter for a run at Tipperary last month ahead of, possibly, stablemate, The Wonky Tonk who could be of interest on handicap debut following three low key efforts last term. Winner over C&D when landing the spoils on good ground in this contest 12 months ago off a 5lb lower mark, Pass Hymn can once again give a good account, along with Whatsinthecorner and the Gordon Elliott-trained Brawny who both could go well at a price.
