Le Grand Peinture³⁰⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Keith Donoghue| T: L Fowler| OR: 128| D

33/1

Solid form when winning Navan maiden in March and ran well from stiff opening mark when midfield in listed handicap at Fairyhouse the following month. Lightly-raced for his age but this his first start for 10 months.

Form: 360418/

Fierce Handay³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Mark Walsh| T: N Meade| OR: 123| D

7/1

Had been shaping well in novice handicaps prior to disappointing in 2m novice at Navan last month, finding less than looked likely. Worth another chance back in a big-field handicap.

Form: 4/54124

Joueur Masque^h⁵⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| OR: 123| D

11/2

Has stood little racing but improved to win maiden hurdle at Punchestown in June. Disappointed in handicaps since and Mark Walsh partners Fierce Handay.

Form: 148/160

Collaborative⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Phillip Enright| T: O McKiernan| OR: 121| D

12/1

Runner-up in pair of handicap hurdles on testing ground in December, seeing out 3m well at Limerick last time. Marked drop back in trip but clearly versatile and arrives in fine heart.

Form: 1F3/022

Raydamann⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 117

33/1

Shaped as if still in form over hurdles last summer but below par on pair of subsequent Flat starts. Has been given a break but his best form has come on a sounder surface.

Form: 13/5455

Catch The Beast³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Philip Byrnes| T: E Cawley| OR: 116

28/1

Went backwards from a creditable reappearance here when pulling up at Navan last month. Bit to prove dropping back to 2m.

Form: 50PF/6P

Moudan¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Eoin Walsh| T: Ciaran Murphy| OR: 115| D

12/1

Successful over fences at Limerick in December and was unlucky to bump into a big improver back hurdling over C&D 15 days ago. Should go well again.

Form: 1/UF312

Cut The Rope⁵⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Kieren Buckley| T: E & P Harty| OR: 113| CD

5/1

Hasn't won since debut bumper in 2023 but ran well when fifth of 23 in handicap hurdle (15/2) at Leopardstown (20.7f, good) 56 days ago. Should be competitive.

Form: P57/255

Granville Street^t²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: Ciaran Murphy| OR: 113

50/1

Winning hurdle debut remains standout effort in this sphere and needs to improve markedly on recent form.

Form: 16/P67

I A Connect³⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 10-8| J: Caragh Monaghan⁽⁷⁾| T: Ian Donoghue| OR: 112| D

12/1

Won 15-runner handicap chase at Down Royal (20.6f) on Boxing Day but reverted to finishing tamely when well held on return to hurdles at Navan. Others more appealing.

Form: 793317

Give Him A Chance⁵⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Tiernan Power Roche⁽³⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 110

14/1

Still on the up when fifth in a competitive 2½m Navan handicap in December but below form at Leopardstown later that month. Drops back to 2m now.

Form: 6132-59

Piccolo Player³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁵⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 109| D

9/1

Lightly-raced sort bounced back to form with sights lowered when creditable third of 13 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Thurles (15.8f, good to soft) 35 days ago, better placed than most. More on his plate, even with excellent-value conditional in saddle.

Form: 61693

Rebel Gold^t²⁸

Age: 13| Weight: 10-5| J: Simon Torrens| T: P T Foley| OR: 109| CD

7/1

Veteran chaser who showed plenty of appetite remains when third of 13 in handicap hurdle (9/2) at this course (18.7f, heavy) 28 days ago. Has been dropped a 1 lb and remains one to be interested in off significantly lower hurdles mark.

Form: 14/5533

Peaceinthevalley²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-4| J: J J Slevin| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 108

7/2

Well-related, improving hurdler who finished second of 13 in handicap hurdle at this course (18.7f, heavy) 28 days ago, no match for impressive winner. Fancied to progress again.

Form: 50/7542

Be Fierce^t⁴¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-3| J: Shane O'Callaghan⁽⁵⁾| T: T M Walsh| OR: 107| D

25/1

Capitalised on lower hurdles mark following a break, winning 9-runner handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.2f, heavy) 41 days ago, travelled smoothly. Up 5 lb and in better company here.

Forecasts

Peaceinthevalley (7/2), Cut The Rope (5/1), Joueur Masque (11/2), Rebel Gold (7/1), Fierce Handay (7/1), Piccolo Player (9/1), Whimsy (10/1), Collaborative (12/1), Moudan (12/1), I A Connect (12/1), Give Him A Chance (14/1), Be Fierce (25/1), Catch The Beast (28/1), Le Grand Peinture (33/1), Raydamann (33/1), Granville Street (50/1), Fiveonefive (80/1)

Low-mileage PEACEINTHEVALLEY can progress again to get off the mark. Likeable veteran Rebel Gold is feared off his significantly lower hurdles mark. while Fierce Handay could be worth another chance back in a handicap.
