Fairyland Opera^t⁹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Anna McGuinness⁽⁷⁾| T: L Fowler| OR: 109

12/1

Left the impression she should have finished closer when third of 12 in handicap hurdle at Naas (2m, heavy) 3 months ago, staying on run-in having been shuffled back 4 out. Back up in trip. One to keep an eye on.

Bop Wont Stop⁴²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: John Shinnick| T: R Sweeney| OR: 106

33/1

Yet to repeat debut effort but could prove a different proposition now handicapping provided he's ready to roll after 14 months off.

Form: 4P3006/

Galavanting George²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 106| BF

10/1

Failed to find any further improvement when fell last in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (17f, good to soft) just over 3 weeks ago, likely to have finished sixth. Worth another try over this longer trip.

Lady Bluebird^b²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Eoghan Finegan⁽⁷⁾| T: H P Finegan| OR: 105

9/1

Capitalised on a falling mark in first-time blinkers after 8 weeks off winning 16-runner handicap at Tramore (21f, good to soft) just under 3 weeks ago, having benefit of enterprising ride. Handicapper taken a swipe with a 10 lb rise but fancied to feature.

Form: 800751/

Eastmore¹⁸⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Philip Byrnes| T: C Byrnes| OR: 103

8/1

Off the mark at Down Royal in August and has found one too strong on all 3 subsequent starts. Makes return back up in trip and will be a danger to all if picking up from where he left off. Tongue tie discarded.

Form: 001222/

Liceo^p1,t1¹⁸⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: P J O'Hanlon| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 102

33/1

Yet to cut much ice over hurdles and was well beaten when last seen at Dundalk in November. First-time tongue tie on (with reapplied cheekpieces) for return but can only be watched back hurdling.

Silent Selector^t³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Sean Flanagan| T: Gerard O'Leary| OR: 101| D

6/1

Lightly raced for his age and caught the eye after 6 months off sixth of 13 in handicap at Clonmel (2m, soft) just over 5 weeks ago, not knocked about. Back up in trip and interesting to see which way he goes in the market.

Form: PBP156/

Mount Ferns²¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Gary Noonan| T: E McNamara| OR: 100| BF

20/1

Ran well from further back than ideal after 5 months off when third at Listowel in September. In the process of running well when departing 3 out in handicap chase (6/4) at Killarney the following month and not seen since. Fancied to be bang there back hurdling on return (has gone well fresh).

Nothing Hectic²²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Alan O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss H McLoughlin| OR: 100

33/1

Didn't need to improve much to get off the mark at Ballinrobe (2¾m) in August but ran no sort of race switched to a handicap the following month. Off since.

Form: 03431P/

Somersby Roost^t³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Phillip Enright| T: O McKiernan| OR: 98

11/1

Improved further switched to a handicap when third at Navan in March but not in the same form when tailed off in maiden at this course (19f, good to soft) 5 weeks ago. Not dismissed if able to bounce back returned to a handicap.

Bearami Creek²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Ewing| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 97| D

16/1

In good form last autumn but has run poorly in 2 outings back from a break this spring.

Jay Pee M^h⁵²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁵⁾| T: T O'Brien| OR: 97| C

9/4

Arrived in form but failed badly to justify support from his much lower hurdles mark at this course (17f, good to soft) in March. Interesting to see if his supporters return.

Form: 412/360-

Minority Interest^p⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Tiernan Power Roche| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 95

12/1

Successful at Gowran in October and got back on track faced with a barely adequate test when fifth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (2m, heavy) 7 weeks ago. Plenty to like back up in trip.

Form: 041805/

Under Cover⁵⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: James Smith⁽⁵⁾| T: A McCann| OR: 93

7/1

Took a step forward switched to a handicap in first-time cheekpieces after 9 weeks off when fifth of 18 at Down Royal (2½m, good to soft, 20/1) 8 weeks ago. His task is to now build on that.

Well beaten in bumper and all 4 starts over hurdles (handicap debut latest). Can only be watched back from 3 months off. RESERVE.

Forecasts

Jay Pee M (9/4), Silent Selector (6/1), Under Cover (7/1), Eastmore (8/1), Lady Bluebird (9/1), Galavanting George (10/1), Somersby Roost (11/1), Minority Interest (12/1), Fairyland Opera (12/1), Bearami Creek (16/1), Swelltime (20/1), Mount Ferns (20/1), Bop Wont Stop (33/1), Nothing Hectic (33/1), Liceo (33/1), Rubi Tuesday (40/1), Speakasyoufind (100/1), Brave Crogha (100/1)

Cases can be made for a number of these but MOUNT FERNS was in the process of running well when departing over fences at Killarney last autumn. Boasting a good record fresh, he can make a winning return over hurdles at the expense of Eastmore, who may have to settle for a fourth silver medal on the spin on reappearance. Lady Bluebird and Minority Interest and another couple worth mentioning, too.
