Pray Tell^p1²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-11| J: John Shinnick| T: D Kenneally| OR: 125| C| D

14/1

Useful hurdler and matched that level when runner-up on chase debut at Punchestown on New Year's Eve. Has been more miss than hit for a while now and offered little back chasing at this track 3 weeks ago. First-time cheekpieces applied for his handicap bow in this sphere.

Form: 052/F06-

Champagne Mahler³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Mike O'Connor| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 123

50/1

Standout effort last season came when runner-up at Naas in January. No impact on both subsequent starts so percentage call is to look elsewhere.

Form: 977/2P4-

Littlefoot^p³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Donagh Meyler| T: M A Molloy| OR: 122

11/1

Bounced back to form sent chasing when landing 2½m Downpatrick maiden in March, though made quite hard work of things. Failed to match that under a penalty at Clonmel just over a fortnight later and cheekpieces are reapplied for his handicap chase debut.

Form: 289/P15-

A Wave Of The Sea³⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: Charlie O'Dwyer⁽⁵⁾| T: J P Broderick| OR: 120| CD

16/1

3-time C&D winner, including twice last summer. Has finished tailed off the last twice but shouldn't be discounted returned to this track.

Form: 180/400-

Milan Forth^t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Kevin Healy⁽⁷⁾| T: S Cavanagh| OR: 119| D

5/1

Fairly useful 3-time winner over fences who was fortunate when landing a handicap at Cork (2½m) in January. Matched the pick of his chase form without carrying any sort of win threat when fifth of 10 at Punchestown recently and quickly reverts to fences.

Form: 3P/1875-

Tonaghneave Well^p¹⁹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 119| C

16/1

Fairly useful form when winning over hurdles at Downpatrick last June but yet to get close to that level over fences, seeming stretched by 3m trip when ninth of 13 at Down Royal when last seen in November.

Form: 105669/

Torquay Road²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Carl Millar⁽⁵⁾| T: C Collins| OR: 119| BF

10/1

Back-to-back winner over hurdles last season and promising start in this discipline, second of 8 in handicap at Tramore (15f, good to soft) last month. High on the shortlist returned to 2½m.

Form: 1743/62-

Gaelic Arc¹⁶⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Sexton⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 118| CD

28/1

C&D winner but not the most reliable and beaten a long way out back in a handicap at Aintree (2½m, good to soft) when last seen in December.

Form: P04846/

Lisleigh Lad⁴¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Alan O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: Ms E Broderick| OR: 117| D

14/1

Narrowly denied at Leopardstown in March and solid fourth of 17 in 21f handicap chase at Fairyhouse the following month, racing closer to pace than ideal. Has struggled with consistency throughout his career, though.

Form: 683/724-

Nas Na Riogh^p²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 116| D

14/1

On long losing run but fared better than for a while after 5 months off when sixth of 8 in handicap at Tramore (15f, good to soft) last month, beaten less than 3 lengths. Back up in trip and fancied to be in the shake-up once again.

Form: 36640/6-

Park That^h⁵⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Mark Walsh| T: E Bolger| OR: 115| BF| C

15/8

Steadily progressed over hurdles, opening his account in that sphere at this track last spring. Seems to be building up to something over fences, strong in the betting returning from 10 weeks off and shaping as if ahead of his mark when second of 9 at Navan (17f, soft) in March. Big chance.

Form: 4109/32-

Three In A Row³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Ricky Doyle| T: A L T Moore| OR: 110

9/1

Yet to win over fences but produced best effort to date back up in trip, finding only a single rival too good for the third time last season at Wexford (19f, soft) 5 weeks ago. Nudged up 2 lb but every chance he'll be bang there again.

Form: 72/2642-

Whateys Quest¹²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Philip Byrnes| T: C Byrnes| OR: 108

12/1

In good form when last seen in the winter, eighth of 13 in handicap chase at Punchestown (23f, heavy) in January. RESERVE.

Forecasts

Park That (15/8), Milan Forth (5/1), Three In A Row (9/1), Torquay Road (10/1), Littlefoot (11/1), Tell Us This (11/1), Whateys Quest (12/1), Lisleigh Lad (14/1), Pray Tell (14/1), Nas Na Riogh (14/1), A Wave Of The Sea (16/1), Tonaghneave Well (16/1), Marv Michael (18/1), Grange Walk (20/1), Cave Court (25/1), Gaelic Arc (28/1), Champagne Mahler (50/1)

Preference is for PARK THAT, who was well supported and shaped as if ahead of his mark when runner-up at Navan 8 weeks ago. With further progress on the cards, he can get the better of Torquay Road, who has made a promising start to life in this discipline and could fare better returned to 2½m. Three In A Row and A Wave of The Sea can fight out minor honours.
