Fairly useful chaser. Winner in hurdle at Ayr in February. 3/1, still in narrow lead when falling 3 out in novice chase at Down Royal (19.6f, soft) 21 days ago, too far out to suggest outcome. Big chance if keeping the mistakes to a minimum.
|
Fairly useful hurdler. Winner at Gowran in January. Proved to be a disappointment at Limerick 14 days ago but appeals as the type to make a chaser.
|
Modest hurdler. 33/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (20.2f, heavy) 46 days ago. Looks up against it on chase debut.
|
Fairly useful winner at 18f over hurdles and easy to excuse last run (scoped dirty post-race). Interesting chase debutant given he's a point winner.
|
Fairly useful hurdler but has shown precious little over fences. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.
|
Fair chaser. Eighteen runs since last win in 2020. 66/1, ninth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Navan (22f, heavy) 56 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase.
|
Fair hurdler. Winner in hurdle at Thurles in January. 7/2, fifth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Navan (15.7f, heavy) 15 days ago. Makes chase debut back up in trip (won sole outing in British points).
|
Winner at Tramore in Augus and shaped a bit better than the distance beaten suggests when ninth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Navan (20f, heavy, 11/2) 141 days ago. Could have a say on chase debut.
|
Fair hurdler. 8/1, typically let down by jumping when sixth of 8 in handicap chase at Leopardstown (21.5f, heavy) 34 days ago.

Forecasts
Bleu D'enfer (9/4), Fathom Two (7/2), Purse Price (5/1), Champagne Mahler (11/2), Soldaro (8/1), Sea Aster (8/1), Marelly (16/1), Welsh Saint (25/1), Falvio (25/1)
FATHOM TWO's latest run is easily excused, and he appeals as the type to make a chaser judged on his physique and pointing background. Bleu d'Enfer is sure to be thereabouts if cutting out the errors, while Champagne Mahler is another interesting chasing debutant.
