Farrokh^p⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Ricky Doyle| T: B Connell

13/2

Winner in hurdle at Tipperary in May. 18/1, shaped well when third of 15 in beginners chase at Tramore (21.8f, good to soft) on debut over fences 7 days ago. Thriving all of a sudden and should improve in this sphere.

Form: 007P-13

Grangeclare Native^b,t⁴⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Carl Millar⁽⁷⁾| T: O McKiernan| OR: 96

16/1

Hard Target^t²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: John Shinnick⁽⁷⁾| T: D H Kelly| OR: 99| C

6/1

Fair chaser. Blinkered for 1st time, ran to a similar level as on his chasing bow when seventh of 14 in beginners chase at Kilbeggan (20.4f, good, 11/1) 3 weeks ago, doing too much too soon. Tongue strap back on.

Form: 23B83-7

Inforapenny⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Aidan Kelly⁽⁵⁾| T: M Fahey| D

5/1

One win from 21 NH runs. Ran close to his hurdles form sent chasing when sixth of 15 in beginners chase at Tramore (21.8f, good to soft, 16/1) 7 days ago.

Form: 353P-26

Kilbrin Rocco^t²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: E Walsh| T: M Winters| BF

20/1

Winner in hurdle at Downpatrick in April. Shaped like a non-stayer upped further in trip with more positive tactics employed when well held in handicap hurdle at same course (21.8f, good, 10/3) 4 weeks ago. Makes chase debut.

Form: 00091-0

New Barn Lane³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: C G O'Dwyer⁽⁵⁾| T: C O'Dwyer| OR: 94

14/1

Modest hurdler. Never better than mid-field on first run since leaving Eoin Christopher McCarthy when tenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.8f, good, 12/1) 31 days ago. Makes chase debut.

Form: 72305-0

The Mass Path⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: S Fitzgerald| T: C Byrnes| BF

13/2

Fair hurdler. Good third of 10 in handicap hurdle (7/2) at Limerick (19f, soft) 8 days ago. Threatening to come good soon, so he's one for the shortlist on chase debut, especially if well supported (has previous experience in points).

Form: 937P-73

Warm In Gorey^t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: P J O'Hanlon⁽³⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 104| BF| D

5/1

Shaped as if still in good form but finished as though a quick turnaround might have caught up with him when third of 11 in beginners chase (10/3) at Downpatrick (19.4f, good to soft) 2 weeks ago. Leading claims.

Form: 0303-53

Angelofthemorning^p⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: N T Prendergast⁽⁷⁾| T: D Deacon

125/1

Poor hurdler. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, eleventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (21.7f, good to soft, 16/1) 7 days ago. Makes chase debut.

Form: 0770-00

Garde La Peche^t²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Mike O'Connor⁽³⁾| T: H De Bromhead

17/2

4/1, probably did too much too soon when fourth of 13 in maiden hurdle at Downpatrick (18.8f, good) 4 weeks ago. Makes chase debut.

Form: 1/93-4

In A Nice Way¹⁵⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Kieren Buckley| T: S Ryan

22/1

Modest hurdler. Tongue strap on for 1st time, tailed off in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.7f, heavy, 14/1) 5 months ago. Makes chase debut.

Form: 08U300-

Pebble Bleu¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Liam Quinlan⁽³⁾| T: C Motherway

12/1

Modest chaser. Faced a stiff task on her first venture out of maiden company when last of 5 in minor event chase (16/1) at Limerick (19.7f, good) 15 days ago. Should make more of a splash here.

Form: 0082-P5

Whotookthebiscuit^t¹⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Richard Condon⁽⁵⁾| T: H De Bromhead| C

14/1

Fair winner at 16f over hurdles. 14/1, clearly wasn't 100% when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (20.3f, soft) 5 months ago, losing place approaching 3 out. Makes chase debut.

Form: 39/661P-

Forecasts

Inforapenny (5/1), Warm In Gorey (5/1), Hard Target (6/1), The Mass Path (13/2), Farrokh (13/2), Garde La Peche (17/2), Pebble Bleu (12/1), New Barn Lane (14/1), Whotookthebiscuit (14/1), Grangeclare Native (16/1), Kilbrin Rocco (20/1), In A Nice Way (22/1), Angelofthemorning (125/1)

In an open-looking beginners chase it could pay to side with THE MASS PATH, who ran in points early in his career and is seemingly threatening to come good judged on his latest effort at Limerick. He can make a winning start over fences at the expense of Farrokh, who shaped well when third on his chase debut at Tramore last week. Warm In Gorey can edge out Garde la Peche for the bronze medal.
