0-10 on the Flat but did win over hurdles last year; well held last month in a Limerick maiden and this is stronger on paper.

Nathaniel's Dream¹³²

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Ben Harvey⁽⁷⁾| T: A J Martin

80/1

Unable to win in eight-race bumper/hurdles career thus far but certainly not without ability; could get involved if handling short trip on Flat introduction.

7/4

Good effort when close fourth in Limerick maiden over this sort of trip last month, stronger event since over 2m at Navan when 24L fifth of 18. Could have place claims with improvement here.

Form: 37-45

Dollys Destination¹²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr O McGill⁽⁷⁾| T: Gary McGill

66/1

Couple of wins over hurdles and also took a bumper in 2018; can go well on the Flat but probably lacks the class to win this.

Lighthouse Lady^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr M K Tobin⁽⁷⁾| T: E Kent| OR: 67

25/1

0-13 and exposed now; decent third at 25-1 at Killarney a fortnight ago over slightly shorter; does well to grab place money again.

Form: 3207-03

Marvel Fan²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr D McCabe⁽⁷⁾| T: A J Martin

200/1

Filly imported from France where she had won over fences in January; easily repelled in maidens at Gowran Park and Roscommon on the Flat recently and hard to make case for here.

Form: 08

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Jodie Townend⁽⁷⁾| T: W P Mullins

7/1

Three-time winner in national hunt sphere for champion trainer, latest a 3m Punchestown handicap hurdle in May 2019; fell/brought down in two spring festival starts and makes Flat bow here. Stable also runs Mt Leinster.

Ciel D'afrique²²

Age: 3| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr J J Codd| T: D K Weld

5/2

Sea The Stars colt who is a half-brother to several classy winner; found only one too strong at Fairyhouse on second start and has obvious potential coming to this venue for D K Weld.

Form: 42

Druid's Altar²²

Age: 3| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr T Hamilton| T: J P O'Brien

12/1

Pair of promising runs at Fairyhouse in the book, behind Ciel D'afrique latest; must improve to get on the board in this contest.

Form: 35

Sweet Will^p1⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr J Dunne⁽⁷⁾| T: G P Cromwell

100/1

16L defeat in 1m5f good-ground Ballinrobe maiden a week ago on second start suggests plenty more required with cheekpieces reached for today.

Form: 65

Must Be Dreaming²²

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: N T Prendergast⁽⁷⁾| T: M J Tynan

200/1

Daughter of Canford Cliffs; 150-1 on debut at Fairyhouse this month over similar trip and beaten 34L; this looks a fairly tall order as such.

150/1

It isn't hard to see smart winning hurdler MT LEINSTER having a big say on his belated Flat bow for Willie Mullins. He's likely got the pace to take this. Ciel d'Afrique is going the right way after two runs and rates an obvious dangers in colours seen time and again in the Ballybrit winners' enclosure, while Druid's Altar and Western Victory have place claims.
