Astley¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Alex Harvey| T: Paul Traynor

25/1

Surpassed his hurdles form when third of 6 in novice chase at Down Royal (2½m, good to soft) on debut over fences 12 days ago, albeit flattered by proximity to first 2 home.

Form: 20-0753

Bobbysingindablues²⁶⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Gilligan⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Gilligan

200/1

Modest hurdler. 100/1, seventh of 9 in novice hurdle at Galway (21f, good to soft). Off 8 months and now makes chase debut.

Form: 7F57-P7

Gatsby Grey^p,t¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Phillip Enright| T: O McKiernan| OR: 110

50/1

Useful hurdler at this best but nowhere near that level over fences these days, pulled up in handicap chase at Down Royal (3¼m, good to soft) 12 days ago.

Form: P/006PP

Give Him A Chance³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Tiernan Power Roche| T: P J Rothwell| BF| C

12/1

Better than ever when notching third hurdles win at Naas in February. 10/3, slipped up early in handicap hurdle at Wexford (2m, heavy) 38 days ago. Makes chase debut trying this trip for the first time.

Form: 32591S

Maxi Mac Gold^b,t³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Eoin Staples⁽⁵⁾| T: P Nolan| OR: 119

16/1

Fairly useful winner at 25f over hurdles. 18/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Navan (3m, soft) 34 days ago, behind from halfway and his record of late has been patchy.

Form: 820-82P

My Trump Card^b⁶⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 121

11/1

Fairly useful hurdler but looks to be going the wrong way over fences, blinkered for first time when sixth of 7 in novice chase at Punchestown (23f, heavy, 50/1) 68 days ago.

Form: 78-7856

Pray Tell¹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: John Shinnick| T: D Kenneally| C

4/1

Useful hurdler and matched that level when runner-up on chase debut at Punchestown in December. Eleventh of 19 in handicap hurdle at Cork (19f, good to soft, 25/1) 19 days ago will have restored confidence after a fall and he's a big player on these terms.

Form: U0-52F0

Supersundae⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Brian Hayes| T: W P Mullins

11/4

Useful winner at 21f over hurdles. Bit below form third of 7 in novice chase at Naas (2½m, soft, 7/2) 47 days ago but he's in top hands and surely has a bigger performance in him over the larger obstacles.

Form: 12PP-53

The Burrow¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Niall Moore⁽⁵⁾| T: P Fenton

150/1

Modest chaser. First run since leaving E. J. O'Grady when sixth of 7 in novice chase (150/1) at Cork (17f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Back up in trip.

Form: 975-956

Billie Frechette^t²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Donagh Meyler| T: N Meade

18/1

Successful twice on the level prior to landing a maiden hurdle at Cork in July. 12/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (1½m) 23 days ago and he's significantly up in trip with attentions turned to chasing.

Form: 443-212

Gaoth Chuil²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Shane O'Callaghan⁽⁵⁾| T: T M Walsh| OR: 121| D

6/4

Useful hurdler. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Very good second of 6 in novice chase at Clonmel (2½m, heavy) 29 days ago. Repeat of that will see her bang there.

Form: 2-3F662

Rue Taylor^p,t¹¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Sean Flanagan| T: P Nolan

16/1

Fairly useful hurdler. Cheekpieces on for first time, fourteenth of 18 in handicap hurdle (25/1) at Leopardstown (23f, good) 117 days ago. Makes chase debut.

Form: 541-070

Forecasts

Gaoth Chuil (6/4), Supersundae (11/4), Pray Tell (4/1), Dameauscottlestown (5/1), My Trump Card (11/1), Give Him A Chance (12/1), Maxi Mac Gold (16/1), Rue Taylor (16/1), Billie Frechette (18/1), Astley (25/1), Gatsby Grey (50/1), The Burrow (150/1), Bobbysingindablues (200/1)

GAOTH CHUIL got back on track over fences when runner-up in a novice at Clonmel a month ago and a repeat of that may well be enough in receipt of weight from most. Pray Tell and Supersundae head the opposition.
