Basil's Boy¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: D F O'Regan| T: L P Cusack

9/1

Coral Blue^t⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: J J Slevin| T: S M Duffy| C

33/1

Fair winner at 16f over hurdles. Well held when unseated rider 3 out in novice chase (80/1) at Killarney (17f, good) on debut over fences 7 days ago. Lot more needed now.

Form: 79-856U

Delirious Love⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: C D Maxwell| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 85

33/1

Modest maiden hurdler. Switches to fences now but this is no easy introduction.

Form: 87/5P9-5

Dumhach Thra⁵²

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Brian Hayes| T: Ms M Mullins| OR: 114

8/1

Fairly useful winner at 17f over hurdles but well below that level both runs over fences, sixth of 14 in novice chase at this C&D (soft, 11/1) 52 days ago. Others preferred.

Form: 02158-6

Ego Des Mottes⁷³

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: E Bolger| BF

11/1

Respectable fourth of 14 in 2m handicap hurdle at Galway on final run for Willie Mullins. Below that form both starts over fences so has it to prove for new yard here.

Form: 1/2360-4

Enjoy D'allen^p¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Kevin Sexton| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 118

7/4

Fair chaser. 11/1 and cheekpieces on, creditable second of 10 in novice chase at Punchestown (20.9f, soft) 12 days ago, suited by emphasis on stamina. Not taken lightly.

Form: 4-25532

Ingleby Mackenzie^t⁶⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Donagh Meyler| T: E Doyle| OR: 119

8/1

Fairly useful chaser. 14/1 and blinkered for 1st time, eighth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (16f, good) 60 days ago. Back chasing now with tongue strap on so one to consider.

Form: 743-548

Shantou Sisu²⁰²

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: D J McInerney| T: W J Lanigan

16/1

Fair hurdler. Career best when winning 16-runner handicap hurdle at Clonmel (16f, soft, 9/4) 6 months ago. Makes chase debut now so worth a second look.

Form: 6F3421-

Soldier At War^t²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Sean Flanagan| T: G Elliott| D

4/1

Fairly useful hurdler. Encouraging third of 5 affter 14 months off in novice chase (4/1) at Listowel (17f, good) on debut 21 days ago. Open to progress now so rates a player.

Form: 12234-3

Thegoaheadman^p¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Sean O'Keeffe⁽³⁾| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 113

8/1

Fair hurdler/chaser but arrives below par, fifth of 10 in novice chase at Punchestown (20.9f, soft) 12 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 33P-855

Forecasts

Enjoy D'allen (7/4), Soldier At War (4/1), Cherif De L'Isle (4/1), Fauguernon (9/2), Ingleby Mackenzie (8/1), Dumhach Thra (8/1), Thegoaheadman (8/1), Basil's Boy (9/1), Ego Des Mottes (11/1), Shantou Sisu (16/1), Delirious Love (33/1), Coral Blue (33/1)

Lots with chances here but CHERIF DE L'ISLE, fairly useful and consistent over hurdles, is taken to make a winning start over fences for Gordon Elliott. Ingleby Mackenzie rates a big threat now he reverts to chasing and Enjoy d'Allen is another with the form to have a say.
