Cinammon Roll^p²⁷²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Josh Williamson⁽⁵⁾| T: G Elliott| D

14/1

Fairly useful bumper/dual hurdle winner last summer. Given time since a below-par run in Gowran handicap hurdle last autumn. A winning pointer so much respected now going over fences.

Form: 111626-

Coyote Spirit^p¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Sam Ewing| T: G Elliott

33/1

Fairly useful 2m winner over hurdles. Made mistakes when a never-dangerous sixth of 12 in novice chase at Kilbeggan (2½m, good) on debut over fences 18 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward.

Form: 43410-6

Donnie Devito^t²¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Danny Gilligan| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 124| D

6/1

Fairly useful 21f winner over hurdles. Yet to score but similar form sent chasing last season, third of 8 in novice chase at Thurles (2¼m) in November. Must enter calculations on his return.

Form: 7/34323-

Duke Silver⁶⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: J J Slevin| T: J P O'Brien| CD

11/4

Useful hurdler who scored at Leopardstown in December. Posted a good third of 24 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (23f) in April. Highly respected now going chasing.

Eclipse Chaser^t⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: W P Mullins

9/2

Won maiden hurdle at Navan last September. Ended last season out of sorts but made a promising chasing debut with third of 6 in novice here (23f) in May, jumping well and not knocked about when fading from last. Capable of a fair bit better, especially at this shorter trip. Big shout.

Form: 140PP-3

Fillyoureye²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Brian Hayes| T: W P Mullins

11/2

Won 23f Punchestown maiden hurdle in February but too free in a pair of good handicaps after. In the process of running well on his first go over fences when stumbling and unseating rider 12th in novice at Punchestown last month. A likely player.

Form: 231P0-U

Jackson Lamb^h³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Alex Harvey| T: J C McConnell| D

40/1

Won a Bellewstown maiden hurdle and novice at Kelso last season. Off 7 months before being pulled up in novice chase at Kilbeggan (2½m) on debut over fences 33 days ago.

Form: 43110-P

Mickie Angel¹⁵⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Daniel King| T: D Hogan| OR: 116| D

28/1

A fairly useful 2m4f winner over hurdles. Similar form in this sphere, posting a solid sixth of 11 in handicap chase at Naas (2½m) in January. Needs to hit the ground running after a layoff.

Form: 5/F3726-

Pinot Gris^p,t⁸⁰

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

5/2

Useful hurdler who wasn't disgraced when sixteenth in County Hurdle at Cheltenham in March. Jumped tentatively both tries over fences though, fourth of 9 in 2m novice at Clonmel in April. More required after a break.

Form: 287/004-

Silent Selector⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Philip Donovan| T: Gerard O'Leary| D

80/1

Fair hurdler. Failed to build on earlier promise when eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Cork (19f) in May. Fencing debutant.

Form: BP156-8

Wing Back^h²⁶⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Phillip Enright| T: S Curling

100/1

Won a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick in August. Never a threat when thirteenth of 18 in similar event at Thurles (2m) when last seen 8 months ago. Returns for his chase debut.

Forecasts

Pinot Gris (5/2), Duke Silver (11/4), Eclipse Chaser (9/2), Fillyoureye (11/2), Donnie Devito (6/1), Cinammon Roll (14/1), Mickie Angel (28/1), Coyote Spirit (33/1), Jackson Lamb (40/1), Silent Selector (80/1), Wing Back (100/1)

Willie Mullins' ECLIPSE CHASER shaped well when third on his chasing debut here and with this drop back in trip also a plus he gets the vote. Useful hurdler Duke Silver brings plenty of potential to this sphere and could emerge as the main danger, although fellow chasing debutant Cinammon Roll and the returning Donnie Devito also need factoring into this intriguing beginners chase.
