Ardhill⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G Elliott

50/1

Fair over hurdles 20/1, tenth of 18 in handicap hurdle at this course (24.5f, heavy) 9 days ago, going in snatches. Switch to chasing needs to perk him up but he does have a background in points.

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Simon Torrens⁽⁵⁾| T: C A McBratney| OR: 101

66/1

Fair hurdler. Eighth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (17f, heavy, 14/1) 26 days ago. Needs to step up on previous chase efforts to feature here.

Brawler^t²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: C J Orr⁽³⁾| T: Ciaran Murphy| C

11/4

Fair winner at 20f over hurdles. 4/1, good third of 13 in novice chase at Down Royal (20f, heavy) 26 days ago. One of the likelier types judged on his recent exploits.

Form: 7158-33

Desire De Joie^b³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott

10/1

Fairly useful hurdler. Winner in hurdle at Sligo in October. 14/1, seventeenth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (24f, heavy) 35 days ago. Makes chase debut. Significantly down in trip.

Downthecellar^t¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Philip Donovan⁽⁷⁾| T: E J O'Grady

100/1

Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Seventh of 12 in minor event chase at Tramore (15.4f, heavy) on debut over fences 11 days ago. That was his first start for 17 months and this will reveal more.

Form: 6P/645-7

Duc D'Allier⁹⁴⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: J J Slevin| T: J P O'Brien| D

9/2

Placed in points and looked a good prospect when landing a Clonmel maiden hurdle (16.5f) when last seen in June 2018 for Henry de Bromhead. Interesting for new yard, particularly if strong in betting.

Fauguernon^t⁵¹

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Sean Flanagan| T: N Meade| D

7/1

Fairly useful winner at 2m over hurdles. Tongue strap on for 1st time, pulled up in minor event chase (8/1) at Cork (21f, heavy) 51 days ago, held when blundered 4 out. Bit to prove here.

20/1

Fairly useful chaser. Possibly amiss when pulled up in novice chase at Gowran (20f, heavy, 80/1) 53 days ago, dropping away quickly early final circuit. Not one to write off.

Form: 5/09B2-P

Sil Ver Klass^t⁷¹

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: D F O'Regan| T: A J Martin| OR: 116

16/1

Fair chaser. Creditable third of 14 in handicap at the Curragh (12f, heavy, 3/1) 71 days ago. Switches from Flat to chase and market may prove a decent guide.

Forecasts

Brawler (11/4), Reine Fee (11/4), Duc D'Allier (9/2), Fauguernon (7/1), Wolfofallstreets (8/1), Desire De Joie (10/1), Sil Ver Klass (16/1), Temptationinmilan (16/1), Montagne D'Argent (20/1), Rocky Shores (20/1), Ardhill (50/1), Benefit North (66/1), Turpin Tale (100/1), Downthecellar (100/1), Fort William (150/1)

REINE FEE reached a fairly useful level over hurdles and has made a bright start over fences, runner-up in a Down Royal maiden over further 26 days ago. She gets the narrow vote, ahead of Brawler and the intriguing Duc d'Allier who requires close market scrutiny on his belated return/chase debut.
