Drop A Threat^h,t³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Brian Hayes| T: W P Mullins| OR: 105

33/1

Fair hurdler who has become disappointing, folding tamely over fences last 2 starts.

Form: 4474-0P

In The Trenches¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 108| D

11/2

In good form and finally got off the mark in 19f Downpatrick novice hurdle a fortnight ago. Has shown enough over fences to think he can win a race like this, too.

Form: 85-5521

Jetovango^p1³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Alan O'Sullivan⁽⁵⁾| T: D W O'Sullivan

150/1

Showed a bit more when third in 19f Kilbeggan maiden hurdle last summer but well beaten in Ballinrobe handicap hurdle next time. Cheekpieces tried now sent chasing on the back of a couple of point runs more recently (pulled up latest).

Form: 00304-P

Juke Hill^b1²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Danny Gilligan| T: G Elliott

33/1

Point runner-up who has shown a bit over hurdles, including in 3m Punchestown handicap 3 weeks ago. Blinkers replace cheekpieces for chase debut.

Form: 5/2557-8

Kashchei^p⁵⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Ben Harvey| T: C Collins

16/1

Left with a simple task as he opened his account in 21f Kelso novice hurdle 8 weeks ago. More will be needed now sent chasing but he's bred for the job.

Form: 66753-1

Malbas⁴⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Tom Buckley| T: E Buckley| OR: 104

125/1

Veteran who was given a considerate introduction to chasing on reappearance but has run poorly in 2 handicap hurdles since. Hard to fancy on these terms.

Form: 02898-0

Ned In The Park²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr D Doyle⁽⁷⁾| T: T Doyle| D

14/1

Fair winning hurdler who ran well again at Clonmel earlier this month and is the type to do better over fences. Could be interesting if getting his own way in front.

Form: 741-493

Paul Collins¹⁶⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: J J Slevin| T: B McMahon| OR: 105

33/1

Won a Galway handicap hurdle in October and presumably has the Festival next month as his immediate target. Well beaten on only previous go over fences.

Form: 401000-

Rockonliam^t³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead| D

1/1

Made a winning return over hurdles at Listowel last month, looking more professional than has sometimes been the case. Could build on that now chasing and one to consider.

Form: 3/1634-1

Silver Salute^p¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Josh Williamson⁽⁵⁾| T: Ian Donoghue

125/1

Modest hurdler well beaten in a maiden back from 4 months off at Kilbeggan and has work to do on chase debut.

Form: 78906-8

Clody Diamond^h1¹⁶¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: P Nolan

16/1

Point winner who has run to a fair level over hurdles, not disgraced when fourth on handicap debut at Down Royal (17f) in January. Could do better now attentions turn to chasing fitted with a hood.

Form: 2172/54-

Rockstown Girl^t¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Ricky Doyle| T: A McCann| OR: 103| BF| D

6/1

Fair hurdler/chaser who continues in good heart and has place claims at least again back over fences.

Form: B712-33

Sophia Rose⁵⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Conor Stone-Walsh| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 106

6/1

Fair chaser who ran well back in a handicap when second at Killarney 7 weeks ago, going down fighting. Can surely open her account in this sphere before long.

Form: 42P65-2

Forecasts

Rockonliam (1/1), In The Trenches (11/2), Rockstown Girl (6/1), Sophia Rose (6/1), Listentillitellyea (11/1), Ned In The Park (14/1), Burru (14/1), Clody Diamond (16/1), Kashchei (16/1), Juke Hill (33/1), Drop A Threat (33/1), Paul Collins (33/1), Ballyearl (40/1), Malbas (125/1), Silver Salute (125/1), Jetovango (150/1)

Gavin Cromwell could hold the key to this maiden chase, with IN THE TRENCHES narrowly preferred to Sophia Rose given he finally got his head in front over hurdles recently. Rockonliam is a dual winner over the smaller obstacles and looks another key player.
