4/1

On a lengthy losing run and patchy form of late but ran well when 4¼ lengths second of 11 to Femme Magnifique at this course in May. Poor efforts since but well treated on pick of his efforts and claims if bouncing back now returned to this venue.

Form: 7P-920P

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Sean Flanagan| T: D M O'Brien| OR: 95| BF| D

10/3

Modest hurdler who ran well when runner-up at Wexford in May but was disappointing at same course last time. Bred to make a chaser and on a handy mark if taking to the discipline at the first time of asking.

Form: 7P0-258

Itsalonglongroad^p⁴⁰

Age: 12| Weight: 11-6| J: Shane O'Callaghan⁽³⁾| T: David O'Sullivan| OR: 92| CD

15/2

A 3-time C&D winner, including this race last year from a 7 lb higher mark, who hasn't fired in 2 starts since returning from a winter break. Cheekpieces replace blinkers and could take some pegging back if allowed to get loose out in front.

Form: 165P0-7

Katherine^h1¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: Harry Sexton⁽⁷⁾| T: A Sexton| OR: 87| D

12/1

A 3-time winner over hurdles but fast approaching 2 years without success and little encouragement to be gleaned from latest efforts.

Form: 774960

Kingdom Calling^t³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Gary Noonan| T: E McCarthy| OR: 85| D

15/2

Maiden hurdle winner who is inconsistent and made little impact on his 2 previous efforts over fences.

Form: 7P0-604

Polly Poppins²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Tiernan Power Roche| T: Bernard Crowley| OR: 84

11/2

Hasn't gone on since finishing third in a 7-runner C&D handicap on chasing debut last autumn and needs to take a step forward if she's to feature here.

Form: 693-587

Nobody^h¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Josh Williamson⁽³⁾| T: Brendan Walsh| OR: 77

11/1

Limited maiden who ran one of his better races when 17¾ lengths fifth of 16 to Ina Mina at Cork 13 days ago. Not bred to make a chaser.

Form: 00/008-5

Ballinaboola Gold^p⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Danny Mullins| T: R Donohoe| OR: 75

4/1

Good second at Punchestown in May but below par on all 4 outings since. Well handicapped on the Punchestown form but isn't really bred to be a chaser, so probably best watched on debut in this sphere unless the market suggests otherwise.

Form: 8-25795

Forecasts

Bossing It (10/3), Presenting Lad (4/1), Ballinaboola Gold (4/1), Polly Poppins (11/2), Kingdom Calling (15/2), Itsalonglongroad (15/2), Nobody (11/1), Katherine (12/1), Ray Gun (14/1), Robin Elite (33/1)

BOSSING IT was among the best of these over hurdles and is bred to be even better in this sphere, so she looks worth siding with to make a successful chasing debut. Presenting Lad and last year’s winner Itsalonglongroad are well treated on the pick of their efforts and rate the main dangers.
