Did I Ask You That^t¹⁰²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins

16/1

Useful bumper performer hasn't gone on from a promising hurdle debut, finishing weakly in a pair of maidens in January, though he's in top hands and could have the makings of a 2-mile chaser if back on song.

Form: 403S30/

Faulty⁶⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Sam Ewing| T: N Meade

40/1

Fairly useful maiden hurdle winner who probably needed the run on chase debut at Naas in early March, following 23 months off the track.

Form: 3S2175/

Glenashling^h³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 119

11/1

Fairly useful type showed improved form when runner-up on handicap chase debut at Cork on his latest start but faces a stiffer task returning to a beginners event.

Form: 342552/

Jerrari¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Flanagan| T: Mrs J Harrington| D

50/1

Won back-to-back handicap hurdles in cheekpieces last July and while it was a step back in the right direction with headgear refitted at Kilbeggan last time, he starts life as a chaser in a competitive event.

Form: 147P05/

Kilgame^t⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Brian Hayes| T: H De Bromhead| D

13/8

Ex-French recruit who showed improved form to get off the mark under more positive tactics in a Navan maiden hurdle in late-March. Looks interesting now sent chasing by his excellent stable.

Form: 253341/

Mercury Mission²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Liam McKenna⁽⁵⁾| T: P Cluskey| CD

16/1

Left behind his winning hurdles form when runner-up on second start over fences at Clonmel (80/1). Looks a natural chaser, however, this is a much deeper race.

Form: 0317U2/

Mick Collins^h,t²²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Donagh Meyler| T: N Meade

20/1

Fairly useful Flat/hurdle winner wasn't beaten far in a fairly useful novice hurdle at Limerick (2½m) in late-September. Has won fresh previously, and the market should guide ahead of his chase debut.

Form: 512246/

Mister Pink³²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Danny Gilligan| T: R O'Sullivan| D

50/1

Useful novice hurdler in 2024/25 for Willie Mullins but made an unpromising start over fences on reappearance/stable debut at Cork.

Form: 212625/

Karoline Banbou⁶⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: H Cobden| T: W P Mullins| OR: 130| BF| D

6/4

Useful mare finished fourth in the 2025 Dawn Run at Cheltenham and chased home above-average types in maiden chases over the winter. Missed a good opportunity at Leopardstown in early-March (tiring in third when fell last) but is well worth another chance to confirm her earlier promise.

Form: 46722F/

Wild Bill Hickok^h²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Eoghan Finegan⁽⁷⁾| T: Ciaran Murphy| D

15/2

Lost his way following a promising start for the George & Zetterholm yard in France, but he took a step back in the right direction when mid-field in a competitive Aintree handicap on stable debut and should make a chaser.

Form: 1777P0/

Forecasts

Karoline Banbou (6/4), Kilgame (13/8), Farfromnowhere (6/1), Wild Bill Hickok (15/2), Glenashling (11/1), Mercury Mission (16/1), Did I Ask You That (16/1), Mick Collins (20/1), Faulty (40/1), Mister Pink (50/1), Jerrari (50/1), Fenian Maxios (66/1)

KAROLINE BANBOU sets a useful standard on her best form and can open her chase account, provided she's none the worse for her Leopardstown fall. Farfromnowhere should have more to offer back over fences and looks the main danger, though Kilgame does look interesting on his first start as a chaser.
