Off time: 15:16 | Winning time: 5m 32.70s

Timeless Treaty³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Josh Williamson⁽⁵⁾| T: G Elliott| OR: 135

6/1

Coped best with testing conditions when the wide-margin winner of a 6-runner novice at Thurles in February. Good efforts in defeat next 2 starts and back in a handicap now.

Form: 585132

Grann's Boy⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H Rogers| OR: 130| C

11/2

Improved again when winning at Listowel in September and backed that up in between a couple of good runs on the Flat when second at Galway. Remains of interest.

Form: 141-012

Shabby Hill¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Philip Byrnes| T: C Byrnes| OR: 130

7/1

Point winner who confirmed promise of hurdling debut when winning maiden at Punchestown and did well to follow up at Navan 16 days ago. Remains unexposed going into handicaps.

Form: 1/511

Welonlyhavedone⁶⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 130

16/1

Debut hurdles winner at Galway in October and posted an excellent third in 2m novice at Navan in January. Pulled up (in extreme conditions) at Thurles last time but remains with potential for shrewd yard now going handicapping.

Form: 81FP3P

Eagles Reign^b²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Shane Markey⁽⁷⁾| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 129

12/1

Has gone well fresh in the past and bounced back to form after 3 months off when second of 17 in handicap hurdle (66/1) at Naas 4 weeks ago, shaping as if a return to further will suit.

Form: 02-U0P2

Kovanis⁸⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 129

16/1

Bumper/maiden hurdle winner. Highly tried after but worth another chance with sights lowered a bit.

Form: 16-3139

Hgranca De Thaix²⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Flanagan| T: B Connell| OR: 126

11/1

Better for return when just denied at Leopardstown and backed that up when runner-up at Navan. Not quite in same form at Naas last time.

Form: 8P-0226

Eclipse Chaser^t⁶³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Danny Mullins| T: W P Mullins| OR: 124| D

Slane Hill^b²⁴⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-9| J: Mr F Maguire| T: B Connell| OR: 123| BF| D

33/1

Winner at Navan last season and continued in good heart over hurdles. Shaped as if amiss when last seen in August.

Form: 153-345

Blue Mosque²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Donagh Meyler| T: N Meade| OR: 122

6/1

Has been rather expensive to follow since her first 2 wins but took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 17 at Naas 4 weeks ago.

Form: 272-004

Buachaillbocht^p1,t²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Mark Walsh| T: T M Walsh| OR: 122| C| D

18/1

Won a novice chase here on final start last season but hasn't kicked on this season, failing to impress with both his attitude and jumping at Naas last month. Back over hurdles now and headgear changed.

Form: 91-360P

Fierce Handay⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: H Cobden| T: N Meade| OR: 122| C

11/2

Off the mark second start in a handicap here (2m) in December but things haven't gone to plan since. Not taken lightly back up in trip.

Form: 541246

Must Go Now¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Sarah Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: E Cawley| OR: 111| C

20/1

Turned in his best effort of the season in first-time cheekpieces when third of 18 at Cork 18 days ago but has work to do from out of the handicap.

Form: 5-00983

El Champo^p³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Tiernan Power Roche| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 110| D

33/1

Back-to-back winner over fences earlier in the season but saw his sequence of good efforts checked on a rare drop to 2m after 9 weeks off at Gowran last month. Does have a lower mark to exploit back over hurdles.

Forecasts

Fierce Handay (11/2), Grann's Boy (11/2), Blue Mosque (6/1), Timeless Treaty (6/1), Shabby Hill (7/1), Healys Pub (8/1), Hgranca De Thaix (11/1), Eagles Reign (12/1), Eclipse Chaser (14/1), Catch The Beast (14/1), Jony R (14/1), Kovanis (16/1), Arch Empire (16/1), Welonlyhavedone (16/1), Meet And Greet (16/1), Buachaillbocht (18/1), Fad Eadrainn (18/1), Must Go Now (20/1), Fiveonefive (20/1), Slane Hill (33/1), El Champo (33/1)

SHABBY HILL looked a smart prospect when winning a novice at Navan so tops the shortlist on his handicap bow. Healys Pub is another unexposed sort heading into handicaps, with the improving Grann's Boy also considered after a recent spin on the Flat.
