4:15 Punchestown Going Soft / Distance - 3m 0f

Pool Value: £2831.83

This can go to ITS ON THE LINE for the third consecutive year. He has a slight edge over Willitgoahead on Cheltenham running and was probably undercooked when beaten by Big Interest at Down Royal in December. Those two rivals are up-and-coming performers in this category, but the Emmet Mullins-trained gelding can draw on a wealth of experience. Olive Nicholls can challenge for a share of the money on Viroflay who should appreciate the drying ground. [Alan Sweetman]

No.	Selection	Form		Guide	ToteWin	TotePlace
1	Big Interest Mr B O'Neill / D M Christie	6yrs / 12st 0lb -14P31 Spotlight	139	9/2	13.40	3.80
Big Interest Point winner last season; beat a possibly undercooked Its On The Line on his rules' debut at Down Royal in December on good-to-yielding; much less effective on soft at Naas; lost a shoe when pulled up in the Tetratema at Gowran; probably found the trip (below 2m4f) inadequate at Down Royal; got his promising career back on track with Fairyhouse win.
2	Carnfunnock Mr S Connor / S R B Crawford	8yrs / 12st 0lb 252116 Spotlight	128	12/1	125.70	16.30
Carnfunnock Four wins on the track, two in bumpers, two over hurdles; adapted well when switched to points on the northern circuit this season; chased home prolific winner Winged Leader before winning twice; pleasing run at 100-1 when a staying-on sixth (fourth-best of the Irish) in the St James's Place; renews rivalry with the placed horses Its On The Line and Willitgoahead.
3	Ciel De Neige Mr B Dunleavy / Mary Ellen Doyle	10yrs / 12st 0lb 023316 Spotlight	123	50/1	221.60	10.10
Ciel De Neige Five wins under rules; fair form for Ellen Doyle in points but this looks too demanding.
4	Dorking Cock Mr D McGill / S R B Crawford	11yrs / 12st 0lb 3P3230 Spotlight	125	33/1	110.80	5.90
Dorking Cock Useful hurdler; hunters' chase form has been erratic since a Down Royal win in 2021; pulled up at the same venue last December, in race won by Big Interest; in rear in the Aintree Foxhunter.
5	Francois Mr S J Butler / Mary Ellen Doyle	10yrs / 12st 0lb 72P552 Spotlight	68	100/1	207.00	8.20
Francois Flat/hurdles winner; 0-12 in points and has finished out of the money in races won by Carnfunnock and Ciel De Neige in recent months.
6	Go Another One Ms E Fallon / J C McConnell	13yrs / 12st 0lb 432535 Spotlight	104	100/1	107.50	4.10
Go Another One Winner of 14 races under rules; veteran has failed to score in 12 starts in point-to-points since last October; tailed off last of five finishers behind Big Interest at Fairyhouse ten days ago.
7	Hollow Games Mr J H Williamson / G Elliott	9yrs / 12st 0lb -54522 Spotlight	136	14/1	75.20	4.30
Hollow Games Unbeaten in two bumpers, useful hurdler/chaser at his best; well beaten in hunters' chases at Haydock and Gowran and no match for Big Interest at Fairyhouse ten days ago; chased home prolific winner Winged Leader at Portrush on penultimate start.
8	Its On The Line Mr D O'Connor / E Mullins	8yrs / 12st 0lb 11-232 Spotlight	144	EVS	1.10	1.10
Its On The Line Top-class hunter chaser whose frustrating Cheltenham record was amplified by a neck defeat to Wonderwall in March, his third time to finish second in the event; has made amends in previous years by winning here; missed Aintree and may now peak sufficiently to reverse Down Royal form with Big Interest and cope again with Cheltenham third Willitgoahead.
9	Macgiloney Mr J P Sampson / D Hogan	12yrs / 12st 0lb 324P1P Spotlight	124	50/1	158.40	71.20
Macgiloney Winner of 11 races under rules; won a point in March but pulled up on latest; admirable sort but likely to find younger rivals too good at this stage.
10	Ontheropes Mr C Mullins / T Mullins	11yrs / 12st 0lb 0F1280 Spotlight	124	20/1	269.00	6.70
Ontheropes Contested some strong handicaps when with Willie Mullins, winning the 2021 Munster National and not beaten far in last year's Scottish National; remote eighth in the St James's Place and never looked like making an impact in the Aintree Foxhunter.
11	Ramillies Mr R James / D M Christie	10yrs / 12st 0lb 242P03 Spotlight	125	28/1	102.00	12.80
Ramillies Three-time track winner, 6-11 in points; recent form has been unconvincing and has finished behind Big Interest, Its On The Line and Willitgoahead in hunters' chases this season.
12	Sheephaven Flyer Mr E Mahon / E Mullins	7yrs / 12st 0lb 18PP4P Spotlight		100/1	228.30	5.50
Sheephaven Flyer 1-12 in points; poor form in recent months; looks a forlorn hope for trainer of Its On The Line.
13	Viroflay Miss O Nicholls / O Nicholls	8yrs / 12st 0lb 13-121 Spotlight	140	5/1	10.60	1.20
Viroflay Very useful point-to-pointer, winner of six from eight; ran only twice last year; has returned in good shape; wide-margin point winner in February before a satisfactory second at Stratford (2m5f, good to soft; front pair well clear) in March; unchallenged winner from the front at Kempton a month ago; suited by a sound surface.
14	Willitgoahead Mr H C Swan / G Elliott	7yrs / 12st 0lb 112130 Spotlight	138	7/1	28.00	1.80
Willitgoahead Progressive since last October; beat Ramillies at Thurles in January on his final start for Sean Doyle; made a highly encouraging start for Gordon Elliott when staying on for third at Cheltenham, getting within 3 1/2l of runner-up Its On The Line; shorter trip may not have been ideal in the Aintree Foxhunter, but even so his effort was tame.
