Dani Donadoni⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| D

10/11

Bumper winner who shaped encouragingly when second of 19 on hurdling debut at Cork in December after 7 months off. Disappointed when fifth of 11 in maiden hurdle at Leopardstown (3/1) 48 days ago but this is a good chance to bounce back.

Form: 14/25

King Of Westeros^h²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Danny Gilligan| T: G Elliott

50/1

Well held completed start over hurdles.

Form: 20F

Ksar Fatal²⁹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Flanagan| T: B Connell| BF

11/8

Looked something out of the ordinary when winning bumper at Gowran on debut last March but couldn't match that form when eighth of 12 here 2 months later, backing out of things. First run since Willie Mullins but danger to all if back on song now hurdling.

Form: 118/

Live My Dream⁸⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: D Budds

150/1

Achieved more than on his hurdling debut when seventh of 14 in maiden hurdle at Limerick (125/1) 89 days ago, beaten 20¾ lengths. Looks one for the longer term.

Form: P6/07

Only For Our Man²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: R Deegan| T: P Nolan

80/1

Second in bumper at Tipperary in May before leaving Stuart Crawford's yard. Tenth of 20 in maiden hurdle at Down Royal (28/1) 26 days ago, making mistake at 5 out and never involved.

Form: 122/250

Panjandrum⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott

5/1

Bumper winner who chased home a highly-rated rival in listed company at Navan in December. Shaped as though amiss on hurdles debut a fortnight later and this will reveal more.

Form: U1/12P

Pat's Legacy³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Keith Donoghue| T: Ian Donoghue| OR: 111| BF

8/1

Three-time maiden hurdler who finished second of 15 at Fairyhouse (13/8 favourite) 31 days ago, laboured after 3 out but kept on to go second 2 out. Likely to give his running again.

Form: 752

Strange Currency⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Gavin Brouder| T: G O'Loughlin

80/1

Looked limited in point-to-points and ran to a barely modest level on Rules debut when sixth of 9 in maiden hurdle at Limerick (80/1) 48 days ago, weakening in the straight.

Form: 4/U56

Auntie Ida²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr D G Lavery| T: Patrick Turley

150/1

Fourth of 13 on bumper debut here but went with no encouragement when tenth of 16 on hurdles debut 3 weeks ago. Tongue strap removed.

Form: 40

Chisel Hill

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Caragh Monaghan⁽⁷⁾| T: Ian Donoghue

150/1

Vadamos filly. Second foal of a 2m hurdle-winning dam who stayed 19f.

Form:

Courageous Cleo¹²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Kevin Sexton| T: G Elliott

100/1

Mount Nelson mare. Dam unraced sister to high-class hurdler/smart chaser (winner around 2m) Grandouet and winning hurdler/chaser in France (stayed 3¼m) Beuvron. Shaped like a stayer in a course bumper in October.

Form: 6

Mo Chailin Mor¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: James Smith⁽⁵⁾| T: Ian Donoghue

250/1

Never a threat on debut 12 days ago. Steps up in trip and needs to show significant improvement.

Form: 0

Shortt Fuse

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Cian Cullinan⁽⁷⁾| T: Ms H P Markham

250/1

Third foal, half-sister to fair hurdler Reverse Polarity (17f winner, by Mustameet), stayed 19f. Dam unraced.

Form:

The Fly Window¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: P Lawlor

250/1

Has shown little in three starts to date.

Form: 6690

Who's Going

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Jordan Gainford| T: G Elliott

40/1

First foal, dam, unraced, closely related to fair hurdler/useful chaser (stays 3¼m) Stealthy Tom and half-sister to useful hurdler/high-class chaser (stayed 25f) Gilgamboa. Newcomer for leading yard.

Form:

Non-Runners

The Last Minute⁴⁵

Forecasts

Dani Donadoni (10/11), Ksar Fatal (11/8), Panjandrum (5/1), Pat's Legacy (8/1), Who's Going (40/1), King Of Westeros (50/1), Strange Currency (80/1), Only For Our Man (80/1), Courageous Cleo (100/1), Chisel Hill (150/1), Auntie Ida (150/1), The Last Minute (150/1), Live My Dream (150/1), Shortt Fuse (250/1), The Fly Window (250/1), Mo Chailin Mor (250/1)

DANI DONADONI was disappointing at Leopardstown 48 days ago but is in expert hands and is well worth another chance to confirm his Cork form. Ksar Fatal looked smart when winning a bumper for Willie Mullins and it will be interesting to see what he can do now hurdling. Panjandrum also has a bit to prove but was also good enough to win a bumper.
