Comment: Top rated at 132; off the mark at the fourth attempt over fences in a mares' beginners' chase at Killarney (2m5f, yielding) last month; drops markedly in trip here but has smart form at around this distance over hurdles; well-treated by race conditions; obvious chance.

Comment: Sole win over hurdles in February in a Punchestown maiden on testing ground; not disgraced in Fairyhouse Grade 2 Novice hurdle in April (2m, yielding) but disappointed on latest; dam a half-sister to Sceau Royal so could improve for switch to fences; good ground is an unknown.

The Electrical Kid

Jockey: M P O'Connor Trainer: Henry de Bromhead Age/Wt: 8/11-12 F: 364/

10/3

Comment: Showed ability in heavy ground maiden hurdles in 2023-24 for Willie Mullins without winning; makes chase debut on first start for Henry De Bromhead after long absence; markets should reveal expectations.

7/2

Comment: Maiden has run well in defeat over hurdles (rated 107) and sole start over fences; beaten 2l on chase debut after break at Limerick last month; should improve for that experience and he is a contender.

8/1

Comment: First reserve; two-time winner over hurdles (rated 110); rated 103 over fences after five chase starts; beaten 11.5l in handicap chase at Kilbeggan after a break latest; improve for that and not discounted if getting a run.

Gorgeous Suspect

Jockey: P T Smithers Trainer: Aidan Anthony Howard Age/Wt: 9/11-12 F: 81F/5-

10/1

Comment: Winning hurdler rated 109 in that sphere; minor promise in both chase starts including when catching the attention of the stewards at Ballinrobe when last seen in May 2024 (2m1f, yielding, found to be lame post-race); tongue-tie is added to hood and steps back up in trip; check market.

On Lovers Walk

Jockey: T P Harney Trainer: Ross O'Sullivan Age/Wt: 8/11-12 F: U433- OR: 110

11/1

Comment: Rated 110 after six runs over fences; has hit the frame in his last two starts, off 111 in a Tramore handicap chase (21.5f, good) and a Clonmel beginners' (16.5f, gd-yld); has an experience edge over some of these and should go well.

Presenting Max

Jockey: L Quinlan Trainer: A J Martin Age/Wt: 6/11-12 F: 8773- OR: 105

11/1

Comment: Maiden is rated 105 after three starts over fences; best chase effort at Kilbeggan when beaten 3l off 104 (2m4f, yielding); good second in charity race at Punchestown early last month; still early days and this longer trip will suit on the evidence that last effort; place shout.

12/1

Comment: Winning point-to-pointer and hurdler rated 110 over fences after three starts; runner up in first two chases at Thurles (2m5f) and Clonmel (16.5f) both on gd-yld; jumping lacked fluency at Kilbeggan on latest; needs to bounce back.

Comment: Sole win under Rules came in a mares' maiden hurdle here in 2022; in decent form over timber earlier this year but beaten 17l on chase debut at Tramore (15.5f, gd-yld) nine days ago; this trip more suitable but lots more needed.

18/1

Comment: Won one of 12 starts over hurdles and rated 110; keen and shaped like the run was needed after a 169-day break on chase debut at Kilbeggan last month; will strip fitter for that and he'll like the ground; not discounted.

8/1

Comment: Latest run at Tipperary was too bad to be true having previously finished a close second behind the smart Mirazur West on his second chase start at Cork (2m1f, yielding); that form gives him major claims provided he stays this far, which is by no means guaranteed.

9/4

Comment: Over two years since his sole win over fences but this is only his fifth attempt and he was placed over hurdles last time off 5lb higher (3m, good); prone to mistakes in this discipline but could go well if finding some fluency.

Comment: Hurdle win was off a much lower figure but he won his latest beginners' chase with a bit to spare and this 6yo looks to have better days ahead of him over fences.

11/2

Comment: Won two handicap chases at about 3m during the second half of last year but beaten a distance the last twice, over 3m4f and 2m4f; this trip is a better fit, however, and he's feasibly handicapped.

10/1

Comment: Maiden hurdle winner; 1-12 over fences but might well have doubled his tally but for a late mistake at Limerick (3m, yielding to soft); raised 5lb for that but Patrick O'Brien again takes away 7lb and he'll be fine on this drier surface.

Comment: Off the same mark as for his 3m7f win on soft ground at Punchestown just over a year ago but he needs to rediscover that level of form; bit risky at the minute.

Comment: Staged a revival of sorts when fourth in the Ulster National (3m4f, good) in March on a belated first run beyond 3m but then disappointed in the Killarney version and that made it 0-7 over fences; rated way higher over hurdles.

Comment: Three-time chase winner who is potentially well handicapped; early mistakes had him on the back foot when returning from an absence at Tipperary and 2m was plenty sharp enough for one who has won over 3m; hard to rule out.

Comment: Should be well handicapped given his hurdling exploits but has yet to convince as a natural over fences (0-6); now tackles his first handicap off a 10lb lower mark than hurdling figure, but others are safer.

Comment: Enjoyed the soft ground when off the mark over hurdles at Listowel in September (2m6f, soft) but had dropped to the rear when falling on chase debut 18 days ago, albeit after a lengthy break; that was over 2m4f and perhaps he needs a trip; Derek O'Connor rides.

Oldtown To Emly

Jockey: Mr S Cotter Trainer: K A Heffernan Age/Wt: 7/10-8 F: 6/000- OR: 76

18/1

Comment: Returns to rules on the back of competitive efforts in points but he was a maiden hurdler and this is his first time over regulation fences; others perhaps safer.

Robin Elite

Jockey: Mr Alan O'Sullivan Trainer: Eugene M O'Sullivan Age/Wt: 7/10-7 F: 000-P OR: 75

20/1

Comment: Found a new lease of life in points this year but was pulled up back under Rules in a handicap chase at Tramore (2m5f); unconvincing.

22/1

Comment: Ended last year in modest form and a similar tale in three starts during 2025; too much to prove.

Great Rainbow

25/1

Comment: Maiden hurdler after ten attempts and ended up tailed off in a 2m5f Limerick handicap on his recent switch to fences; not crying out to be backed.

Comment: Modest hurdler who ran no race on last week's chase debut at Tramore (2m6f handicap); tongue-tie now left off.

33/1

Comment: Makes chase debut off a 6lb lower mark than what he defied over hurdles at Galway last September but he's not in the same form right now; tried a hood last week.
