4/5

Comment: Declared for 5.07 on Thursday at Killarney; rating of 112 is the highest in the field; his best run from five maidens was a 0.5l second of 16 at Kilbeggan (2m1f, good); decent effort on handicap debut last time at Cork when third; the booking of Kennedy is notable, leading contender.

9/2

Comment: Rated 104 over hurdles and he is 0-12 over timber but has run some good races in defeat; he was 0.5l behind the winner in a handicap at Listowel in May (2m4f, good); okay run in a maiden here on penultimate start when third of 15; tailed off at Wexford last time (2m4f, good); one of the likelier ones.

5/1

Comment: Placed three times in juvenile hurdles last year; good second on the Flat at Cork in May; more was expected of her at Wexford last time when sent off the 13-8 favourite but finishing a 6l third; perhaps the new headgear combination can get her over the line.

Comment: Flat bred and was a rare bumper runner for Andrew Balding when going down narrowly from the front at Huntingdon (good); didn't build on that in a Stratford bumper next time and was 23l behind the winner on hurdles/stable debut at Sligo last time (2m1f, good); ran keenly on that occasion so can improve if settling better.

Comment: Best of six point starts was a 5l third; tailed off in two maiden hurdles before outrunning his odds of 125-1 to finish a good fourth at Cork last time (2m2f, good); that was a big improvement on all previous form and hard to know if he can repeat it.

Comment: In the form of his life at the moment; off the mark over hurdles at Listowel in May (20.5f, good); unable to follow up at Tipperary but went in again at this track last time (20.5f, yielding to soft); up another 7lb but he is thriving.

Comment: Three-time winner over hurdles with two of those coming over 2m1f at this track; bounced back from some underwhelming Flat runs to win here last time (yielding to soft); on a career high mark now but he has only run ten times over hurdles so there is likely still improvement to come and he clearly likes the course.

Comment: Her best form has come at Clonmel, including her sole hurdles win in May last year off 102 (2m3f, yielding); another career best effort on RPRs at that track on penultimate when a neck second (2m4f, good to yielding); less effective at this track last time when sixth (20.5f, yielding to soft); others preferred.

Comment: Won over 2m6f at Down Royal off 110 in April and backed that up with some good runs in defeat; bounced back from a poor run at Punchestown to finish second of 15 at Bellewstown in July (24.5f, good); needs to again bounce back after being pulled up at Galway earlier this month (24.5f, soft); can't be totally ruled out.

Coming Up Easy

Jockey: J C Gainford Trainer: Henry de Bromhead Age/Wt: 7/11-5 F: 0/0011- OR: 132

6/1

Comment: Hurdles winner has improved for the switch to chasing, winning the last twice; comfortable winner at Limerick in March (2m2f, good to yielding) before gamely winning again at Cork last time (2m1f, yielding); up another 7lb but he is lightly raced and improving rapidly.

13/2

Comment: Back-to-back winner over fences at around 2m4f in June last year; struggled off revised mark in a couple of runs following that; has been running over hurdles recently with the best of those efforts being a 5.25l third at Uttoxeter in June (2m7f, good); another good effort in a valuable Galway handicap hurdle last time; place chance.

Sea Music

Jockey: D Meyler Trainer: Emmet Mullins Age/Wt: 7/11-10 F: U-1U54 OR: 137

7/1

Comment: Is 2-8 over fences with his last win coming in a Punchestown novice handicap chase in May off 129 (2m4f, yielding); he made good headway in the Galway Plate before fading late (22.5f, good); dropped back a few days later at Galway to finish a 5l fourth (2m2f, soft); this trip looks his ideal and he has a chance.

Comment: Is 2-22 chasing; followed up his win at Kilbeggan (2m1f, yielding to soft) with a nose second here behind Dreal Deal in July (2m1f, yielding to soft); tailed off in a higher grade at Galway last time from 3lb higher; others preferred.

12/1

Comment: Finished 2024 in good form, winning handicap chases at Wexford (2m3f, good to yielding) and Punchestown (2m5f, soft); returns to fencing now after being unable to take advantage of an 11lb lower hurdles mark the last twice; not discounted back in this sphere.

Mars Harper

Jockey: J W Kennedy Trainer: Gordon Elliott Age/Wt: 9/11-5 F: 4400-0 OR: 132

Comment: Is 2-29 chasing with his last success coming in 2023; some creditable runs in big handicaps last season, including fourth in the Plate at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft); below that level since and was 10.5l behind the winner at Galway last time (2m6f, good); Kennedy stays loyal.

Dutch Schultz

Jockey: E Staples Trainer: Gavin Cromwell Age/Wt: 8/10-12 F: 2-4346 OR: 125

14/1

Comment: Five wins under rules (2-19 over fences); 11l behind Dreal Deal at this track last time (2m1f, yielding to soft); probably on a tough mark at the moment but has run some decent races in defeat and the claimer aboard helps.

14/1

Comment: Sole win from 20 attempts over fences came in a Clonmel beginners' chase in 2023; however, he has been running well in defeat, with several placed finishes including on seasonal return at Wexford in July (2m3f, good); pulled up at Market Rasen when last seen.

22/1

Comment: Back to form when winning at Fairyhouse in November off 126 (2m1f, yielding); followed that with a short head second at the Leopardstown Christmas festival (2m1f, good to yielding); needs to bounce back again after being tailed off at Aintree in April and pulled up at Punchestown when last seen; O'Keeffe rides Birdie Or Bust.

25/1

Comment: Out of form in five runs this year before springing a surprise on stable debut at this track last time when winning by a nose (2m1f, yielding to soft); he had a few of these behind him that day; up 5lb for his win but he has won off higher.

Visionarian

28/1

Comment: Dropping down the ratings since he won a three-runner Grade 2 contest at Gowran last autumn; no signs of a revival at Wexford last month when finishing well behind; it is hard to fancy him at the moment.

Jockey: D J Gilligan Trainer: Gordon Elliott Age/Wt: 8/11-5 F: 62-UP0 OR: 132

Comment: Won on chase debut in a Wexford beginners' in 2023 (2m4f, yielding); best run in recent times was a 4.5l second at the Punchestown festival off his current mark (2m4f, yielding); he has been poor in three runs following that and Kennedy prefers Mars Harper.

Comment: Some good efforts in bumpers at Thurles and Punchestown before pulling well clear with the winner over C&D in May and being beaten 1.75l into second; well backed returned to here in July when he prevailed by 0.5l; he was entitled to do that but he is progressing, the cheeckpieces can unlock further improvement and top jockey aboard.

Comment: Winner of one of his two bumper runs; well backed to win over C&D in May following some placed efforts over hurdles and in a bumper at Galway; another good run at Cork last time over hurdles when making some errors but finishing third (2m1f, good); should be thereabouts.
