- Mr J W Hendrick / P Kiely
|
|
|
12/1 |
Defeat The Dark
0-5 in point-to-points but has run well in defeat; best efforts have come on good and yielding ground the last twice; not as good when encountering softer ground so conditions are a concern.

Eyes Off Annie
2-5 in point-to-points, the wins coming on testing ground at Punchestown and Durrow (runner up won a handicap chase at Carlisle last month); should strip fitter for latest second at Oldcastle after a 379-day break; claims.

- Mr Turlough O'connor / T O'Connor

Iorens
1-8 in point-to-points, that win coming on debut at Rathcannon in April 2022 for Sean Doyle; failed to win for Dan Skelton and ended up with a chase rating of 88; hard to fancy on recent point-to-point form for Turlough O'Connor.

9/4 |
Justlikejessejames
2-10 in point-to-points, those wins coming on her last two starts at Nenagh (good to yielding) and Durrow (yielding) last month; handles soft and clearly in fine fettle at the moment; chance in first-time tongue tie.

- Mr Barry Thomas Stone / D K Walsh
|
|
|
7/1 |
Lucky Venture
Off the mark at the sixth attempt in point-to-points at Damma House when last seen in November 2023; has a long absence to overcome and the market should reveal expectations on return.

- Mr Alan O'Sullivan / K A Heffernan

|
14/1 |
Nicolas Fortune
0-8 in point-to-points and 0-6 under Rules in bumpers and hurdles; decent second on latest at Castletown-Geoghegan (3m, good) earlier this month; tongue-tie and cheekpieces go on; may need better ground.

- Pallas Athene
- Mr A Burke-Ott / A Ott
|
|
|
16/1 |
Pallas Athene
1-5 in point-to-points, the win coming on debut at Lisronagh in March 2023; ran some decent races under Rules for Gordon Elliott without winning; hasn't shown enough in recent point-to-point starts to be of interest here.

Some Joy
1-10 in point-to-points; won a three-runner race at Ballindenisk in January on soft to heavy; beaten 2l on latest in Mares Final at Ballynoe (3m, soft); fourth in this last year on soft ground and she has place claims.

- Mr D Doyle / S Curling

5/2 |
The Great Unknown
Prolific in point-to-points, winning three from five and three of her last four; was giving lots of weight to the winner when a 1.75l runner up on latest at Daramona House; soft ground fine and she is a leading contender.
