11/5
Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Off 8 months ahead of this chase debut and, granted a clean round of jumping, he could have a say.

66/1
Useful hurdler. 20/1, bit below form fifth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Galway (22.6f, soft) 126 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase for new yard and likely to find one or two too good.

5/2
Easy winner of a maiden hurdles at Fairyhouse (2½m, heavy) on hurdles debut/first run for Willie Mullins when last seen in January. Completely unexposed and interesting to see if there's confidence behind him in the betting now switched to fences.

300/1
Poor hurdler. Pulled up in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Wexford (20f, heavy) 22 days ago, pulled up before next. Makes chase debut and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

9/4
Promising type. Smart winner at 17f over hurdles. Third of 12 in novice chase (9/1) at this course (17f, heavy) on debut over fences 21 days ago. Up in trip and a bold show is anticipated.

28/1
Fairly useful hurdler. 20/1, eleventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Galway (21.9f, heavy) 42 days ago. Makes chase debut. Saint Felicien appears to be the stable No 1.

9/2
Lightly-raced winner under Rules. Latest win in hurdle here in January. Off 8 months ahead of this chase debut. Indiana Dream is presumably the stable first-string.

Forecasts

Hiddenvalley Lake (11/5), Saint Felicien (9/4), Indiana Dream (5/2), Shanbally Kid (9/2), Santonito (28/1), Highland Charge (66/1), Mythical Times (300/1)

Verdict

All eyes will be on INDIANA DREAM, who was a winner of a bumper on his sole start in France and he barely came out of second gear when landing a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle on debut for this yard. Provided all is well following an 11-month absence and, of course, his jumping passes the test now tackling fences, the 5-y-o will take plenty of stopping. Saint Felicien get the nod forecast purposes ahead of Hiddenvalley Lake and Indiana Dream's stablemate Shanbally Kid.
