8/1
Fairly useful chaser. 2 wins from 4 runs this season. 7/1, didn't need to improve to win 10-runner handicap chase at Galway (18.2f, soft) 49 days ago, cosily. This is tougher.

25/1
Fairly useful chaser. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 9-runner handicap chase (13/2) at Downpatrick (17.8f, good) 27 days ago, cosily. More needed in this company.

Fairly useful chaser. 1 win from 3 runs this season. 14/1, career best when winning 6-runner novice chase at Roscommon (16.6f, good to soft) on debut over fences 47 days ago, cruising clear. More on his plate here.

3/1
Promising type. Useful winner at 16f over hurdles. Second of 7 in novice chase (15/8) at Killarney (17f, good to soft) on debut over fences 29 days ago. Should progress.

Timeform
Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. First run since leaving W. P. Mullins when third of 16 in novice chase at Tipperary (19.7f, good to soft, 16/1) on debut over fences 82 days ago. Open to improvement, but will find easier opportunities than this.

Useful chaser. 6/1, 29 lengths last of 7 to Impaire Et Passe in Faugheen Novices' Chase at Limerick (19.4f, soft) when last seen in December. Will be the one to beat down in class here, provided he is ready to roll.

Forecasts

Hashtag Pretender (3/1), Waterford Whispers (3/1), Birdie Or Bust (5/1), Blaze The Way (5/1), Aspurofthemoment (8/1), Solsbury Hill (17/2), The Electrical Kid (14/1), Macinamillion (25/1)

Verdict

Useful hurdler HASHTAG PRETENDER made a highly encouraging start over fences when runner-up back from a nine-month break at Killarney and, with improvement on the cards, he is taken to get the better of Waterford Whispers, who achieved more than any of these rivals over hurdles and will be a serious threat if fully tuned-up for this. Birdie Or Bust, one of two stablemates of Waterford Whispers, is third choice.
