Selected odds by:
Chased home Total Look and Beyond Your Dreams starting out over hurdles for new yard at Navan before landing 2m Leopardstown maiden over Christmas. Stiff task in Grade 1 next time and this looks more his level now handicapping. Only runner for top stable with a good record in the race.
|
Signed off in with victory in a listed event and much better effort on second start for Willie Mullins when just failing at Naas last month, doing her best work at the death. That race has a good record of producing the winner of this and she's got to be high on the shortlist.
|
Dual winning hurdler in who has run respectably in graded contests at Leopardstown for new yard. Others have more potential now but she has the tongue tie she wore across the Channel back on and anything from this yard can never be discounted.
|
Useful hurdler successful at Compiegne in May and October and ran a cracker on first go on these shores in the Triumph Trial here in January, no match for East India Dock but well clear of Torrent in third and putting in a good round of jumping. This scenario will suit and he can go well.
|
Fairly useful Flat performer who has quickly matched that level over hurdles, successful at Navan and going close behind Quantock Hills and Teriferma here before catching the eye with a fast-finishing third behind Slurricane at Punchestown. Fitted with cheekpieces now and big run likely.
|
Fairly useful Flat winner who is improving nicely over hurdles, seeing off a couple of subsequent winners in big-field maiden at Cork before leaving the impression he had more to offer again at Fairyhouse 5 weeks ago. Bound to be suited by this sort of test for yard that took this in 2024 and 2019.
|
Flat winner who was rewarded for his consistency with a first success over hurdles at Punchestown 6 weeks ago, though his job was made easier by Out For A Stroll pecking badly at the last (Total Look eye-catcher in third). Looks vulnerable in follow-up bid.
|
Fairly useful Flat winner who landed a gamble on handicap debut at Cork in December under this rider. Struggled after a 14 lb rise in listed handicap at Limerick next time and not seen since. May not have reached his limit.
|
Fairly useful winner in and good start for this yard with victories at Fontwell and Cheltenham (dead-heated with Teriferma after mistake at the last). Held behind a few of these in the Triumph Trial back here in January but did look third best for most of the way. Wouldn't dismiss.
|
Has taken well to hurdling, successful twice for Joseph O'Brien last summer and dead-heating with Quantock Hills here on first run for new yard in December. Held behind Stencil and Torrent in Grade 2 back here since though and looks vulnerable in this line-up. Cheekpieces back on.
|
Fairly useful Flat winner in who gave a decent of himself when in the frame on first 2 starts over hurdles. Not so good behind Murcia in the traditionally-informative Naas event last time but could do better now handicapping with cheekpieces tried.
|
Several good runs in competitive races for Joseph O'Brien, including a second to Puturhandstogether at Cork, before he just got the job done for new yard at Catterick. Tongue tie/cheekpieces go on for handicap debut and he'll need to pull out more.
|
Tongue tie went on and another from the yard to thrive in juvenile hurdles, scoring at Market Rasen and Wetherby in the autumn, seeing off Static and Torrent in listed event second occasion. Didn't jump too great when turned over at odds on at Newbury next time but has won well on the level since.
|
Fair Flat winner who took maiden at Ballinrobe in September and followed that up with good efforts from the front at Punchestown and Musselburgh. Will need a further step forward now handicapping.
|
Fair maiden on the Flat who has made an encouraging debut in this sphere, runner-up at Punchestown and Cork and only a length down when falling at the last in listed Musselburgh event 5 weeks ago. Has the scope to progress further now handicapping.
|
Fair Flat winner placed all 3 starts in juvenile hurdles this year, taking a keen hold under this rider. Thrown in at the deep end for handicap debut.
|
Fairly useful juvenile hurdle winner in and back to that sort of level for this yard with sights lowered when second at Ludlow in re-fitted tongue tie. Goes handicapping now and may have a bit more in the locker.
|
Fairly useful Flat winner and has made a bright start over hurdles, chasing home Total Look at Navan second start then opening at Fairyhouse, losing ground at each of the last 2 but picking up well. Will need to jump better here but got to be respected in first-time cheekpieces.
|
Fair Flat winner in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell and started well over hurdles for this yard with victories at Kempton and Taunton. In the process of bouncing back when crashing out at the last in listed juvenile at Musselburgh 5 weeks ago but would be a surprising winner of this.
|
Dual winner in claimers over hurdles in and satisfactory-enough start in Britain in some of the leading juvenile races, albeit starting to feel the pinch and weakening out of the frame by the time he departed at Musselburgh last time. New yard.
|
Chased home subsequent Cheltenham Grade 2 winner and Triumph fancy East India Dock on hurdle debut at Wincanton before making all at Sandown (2m). Stiff task at Chepstow next time and successful on the Flat last month (useful form). Good test at this trip will suit. Player in new headgear.
|
Fairly useful Flat performer who has shown similar form in this sphere, scoring at Warwick in January before a solid third at Haydock. Not so great at Huntingdon recently though and his jumping probably isn't good enough for this. Handicap debut.

Forecasts
Stencil (11/4), Beyond Your Dreams (13/2), Sony Bill (7/1), Puturhandstogether (17/2), Hot Fuss (17/2), Total Look (11/1), Liam Swagger (12/1), Murcia (16/1), Quantock Hills (16/1), Teriferma (28/1), Slurricane (33/1), Wendrock (33/1), Luker's Tipple (33/1), Solar Drive (33/1), Holy See (33/1), Kool One (33/1), Robbies Rock (50/1), Static (50/1), Turn And Finish (50/1), Mister Cessna (66/1), Lavender Hill Mob (80/1), Moutarde (125/1)
PUTURHANDSTOGETHER left the firm impression we've yet to see the best of him when second at Fairyhouse and can give Joseph O'Brien a third win in 7 runnings. Amazingly for a race that has been dominated by Ireland it is one of the few this week to elude Willie Mullins but he has a strong contender in Murcia. Hot Fuss, Total Look, Beyond Your Dreams and Stencil also make the shortlist.
