16/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2019. 10/1 and blinkered for 1st time, below form tenth of 18 in handicap chase at Navan (20f, heavy) 151 days ago. Others appeal more.

16/1

One win from 21 NH runs. Only tenth of 12 in novice chase (22/1) at Tramore (21.8f, good to soft) 29 days ago so others are more persuasive.

Forecasts

Goulane Jessie (11/4), West Is Best (6/1), Mister Bells (8/1), Carnet De Stage (8/1), Killisk Ben Rose (9/1), Gold Creek (12/1), Rocconrockall (12/1), Haggard Lad (12/1), Beeper's Ruby (14/1), Casamari Abbey (16/1), Mountain Hawk (16/1), Princely Conn (20/1), October Revolution (28/1), Olive D'Haguenet (50/1), Rightback Atya (66/1), Anseanachai Cliste (66/1)

GOULANE JESSIE arrives on the back of a career-best hurdling win at Cork so looks the way to go here in a race where lots have question marks against them. West Is Best will be suited by this stiffer test of stamina and rates next best ahead of in-form maiden Carnet de Stage.
