Off time: 14:00 | Winning time: 4m 23.00s

Cilaos Emery^h¹⁰⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| OR: 163| BF| CD

1/2

Top-class chaser. Fourth in Champion Hurdle in March and ran well back chasing when 5½ lengths second of 5 to Bachasson in Clonmel Oil Chase at Clonmel (20.2f) in November. Obvious claims.

Form: 11F14-2

Daly Tiger⁴³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Sean Flanagan| T: N Meade| OR: 157| D

7/4

Very smart chaser. Resumed progress when winning 14-runner handicap chase at Fairyhouse (17f, heavy) 43 days ago. Obviously commands respect in this small field.

Form: 539-191

Kildorrery²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: D F O'Regan| T: T M Walsh| OR: 128| D

28/1

Useful chaser. Nineteen runs since last win in 2018, though did have a hopeless task from his position at Leopardstown (17.3f, soft, 33/1) 22 days ago. Stiff task on these terms.

Form: 7-P3380

Cafe Con Leche¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: S A Mulcahy| T: D Hogan| D

125/1

Fairly useful hurdler but doesn't appeal as the type to make a chaser (Flat bred), falling 4 out out at Punchestown on debut in this sphere 2 weeks ago.

Form: 411-50F

Forecasts

Cilaos Emery (1/2), Daly Tiger (7/4), Kildorrery (28/1), Cafe Con Leche (125/1)

CILAOS EMERY is still not fully exposed as a chaser and there's every chance he'll have too many gears for main market rival Daly Tiger, despite that one resuming his progress back down in trip last time.
