6/1 |
Burru
Tailed off in two previous runs over fences, though those were beginners' chases won by smart horses; in good form over hurdles when last seen and potentially on a handy mark in chases; new trainer.

West Clare
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.

Smitty Bacall
This 14yo retains plenty of enthusiasm and after going up 7lb for his win at Down Royal (3m2f, good) he stuck to his guns to make the frame there a month ago; has won here over hurdles and should go well again.

Ballagh Star
Tailed off after a break over hurdles 13 days ago; only had three runs over fences and he won at Sligo in October (3m2f, good); fair shout with a reproduction of that form.

- Il Silenzio
- Mr D Doyle / M Brassil

|
16/1 |
Il Silenzio
An 8yo with only seven runs behind him, all of them over hurdles; penultimate effort respectable but was out the back when falling last time; best watched on this chase debut having been off since November.

Cullenwaine
Stays well and won over 3m1f at Thurles in December when 6lb lower; new mark is looking an issue and was behind Thehairyfella last time at Wexford.

Thehairyfella
Now 0-14 over fences but his boxing-on third at Wexford (3m1f, good) came after quite a break and he might be sharper this time; on the shortlist.

Great Rainbow
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.

- Milan Dollar Lady
- Mr M J Kenneally / T Hogan

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

- Ardfert Mary
- Mr J M Halford / J P Ryan

7/1 |
Ardfert Mary
0-21 under rules; hasn't offered much in her three previous chases but returns to this discipline after some pleasing runs over hurdles and the tongue-tie is new.

- Da Big Fella
- Miss J Townend / Eamon Courtney

|
12/1 |
Da Big Fella
Last win was in July 2021 and he's an 11yo now; however, there's no knocking his recent efforts in handicaps from 2m3f to 2m7f and has each-way claims despite looking handicapped about right.
|
|
|
|
- Oldtown To Emly
- Mr S Cotter / K A Heffernan
|
|
|
18/1 |
Oldtown To Emly
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
- Mr Alan O'Sullivan / E M O'Sullivan
|

|
22/1 |
Robin Elite
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.
|
|
|

- Max Time
- Mr A P Ryan / I Madden
|
|
|
16/1 |
Max Time
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.

The Eye Of Tulla
Ended last year in modest form and a similar tale in three starts during 2025; too much to prove.

Fr Gilligansvoyge
Inconsistent handicapper who was pulled up back in a hunter chase last time; a 12yo now and he's 8lb wrong at the weights.

General Hubble
Reserve; mark took a hit for two wins at about 3m in November and others might be better in, though wasn't beaten too far when fifth at Punchestown on Saturday.
