Off time: 16:40 | Winning time: 4m 54.00s

Carrigane²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Alan O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Duggan

80/1

Ocovango gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Bowling Buddy. Dam unraced sister to fairly useful hurdler (2¼m winner) Oscar Chimes. Maiden in points and likely best watched on chase debut.

Form: U443/2

Coyote Spirit^p⁷¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: James Smith⁽⁵⁾| T: G Elliott

15/2

Fairly useful hurdler who posted a personal best when scoring at Navan in February. Below par at Cork since but can make presence felt on chase debut.

Form: 443410/

Ephesus¹⁶⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Philip Donovan⁽³⁾| T: D Hogan

40/1

Fairly useful hurdler but below form of late and has something to prove on switch to chasing.

Form: U70460/

Finnfaraway⁶⁰⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Calum Hogan⁽⁵⁾| T: Patrick J Hassett| OR: 84

200/1

Little impact in 4 maiden chases and on hurdles debut in 2024. Pulled up in points last 3 starts.

Form: 46P500/

Following Orders³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Dylan Robinson| T: P J Rothwell

66/1

Fair hurdler but finished well beaten on chase debut at this course 31 days ago.

Form: 4225P/0

Impero^p²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Ben Harvey| T: C Collins| D

3/1

Useful hurdler who ran up to best when third of 4 in handicap at Kelso (2m, good) 22 days ago. Goes chasing now and is not taken lightly.

Form: 1013/23-

Le Coq Hardi²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Mike O'Connor| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 135| BF

1/1

Useful form over fences last year without managing to get his head in front, runner-up on handicap debut over C&D in June. May have needed the run, back from 7 months off, when second of 5 in novice chase at Limerick (2½m, good, 5/6) 25 days ago and looks the one to beat here.

Form: 3234P/2

Londonofficecallin^t¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Kieren Buckley| T: G P Cromwell| D

8/1

Multiple winner over hurdles but well below that level in a couple of starts in this sphere, latest when fifth of 10 in novice chase at this course (2½m, good to soft) 15 days ago. May be capable of better yet.

Form: 1831P/5

Orkneys Jack²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Hogan| T: L Young

80/1

No impact in a trio of hurdles starts last year but did win a point recently.

Form: P2825/1

Positive Energy⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Shane Fitzgerald| T: B Cawley

125/1

Went backwards following a winning hurdle debut at Navan last spring and made no impact in a couple of recent chase outings.

Form: 1640/95

Road To The Weir³⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Alan King⁽⁷⁾| T: J Neilan| OR: 81

100/1

Poor over hurdles and fences and makes limited appeal back over the larger obstacles here.

Form: 65060/7

Glen To Glen²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Peter Smithers⁽⁷⁾| T: J P O'Brien

4/1

Useful Flat performer who left his first 2 runs over hurdles behind to land Cork juvenile in December. Disappointing since and let down by his jumping when fifth on chase debut at Ballinrobe 21 days ago. May improve with that experience under his belt, though.

Form: 5710/5

Forecasts

Le Coq Hardi (1/1), Impero (3/1), Glen To Glen (4/1), Coyote Spirit (15/2), Londonofficecallin (8/1), Miss Ireland (33/1), Ephesus (40/1), Following Orders (66/1), Orkneys Jack (80/1), Carrigane (80/1), Road To The Weir (100/1), Positive Energy (125/1), Finnfaraway (200/1)

LE COQ HARDI sets a high standard here and should be straighter for last month's Limerick return. He can open his account in this sphere. Impero and Coyote Spirit may give him most to think about.
