Going - Good

Verdict

William Hill TV

Willie Mullins is taking out a David Nicholls sprint-handicap approach to this and Quel Esprit, with Ruby Walsh keeping faith, may be the pick if none the worse for his Wednesday tumble. Shinrock Paddy and Tell Massini both have solid form credentials, while The Betchworth Kid is fancied by his trainer to improve plenty for this trip but NAJAF, who had some good form in France, may prove overpriced if he progresses as much as his trainer hopes for the stiffer test.[Paul Johnson]

	Tell Massini	158
	Brennan, P J/ George, T
(97)	Form: P1111 Age: 6 Weight: 11-7
		Spotlight

4/1 7/2

Susp.

Spotlight : Defending unbeaten hurdle record; far too good for dodgepot Kennel Hill over this C&D in December but 8l defeat of Reve De Sivola over 2m5f here the previous month reads even better in light of runner-up's subsequent achievements; easy to make the case for him but slight concern that all wins have been with more give in ground than likely here.

	Quel Esprit	151
	Walsh, R/ Mullins, W
(2)	Form: 4-1112F Age: 6 Weight: 11-7
		Spotlight

11/2 5/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Rated top drawer material by trainer and lost nothing in defeat by subsequent Navan Grade 2 winner back over 2m4f at Leopardstown after looking suited by step up to this trip when landing the odds at Cork; this represents plan B after his early exit when 5-1 for Wednesday's 2m5f novice but serious contender if none the worse for that.

	Restless Harry	156
	Oliver, H/ Dickin, R
(48)	Form: 1-27121 Age: 6 Weight: 11-7
		Spotlight

8/1 17/2

Susp.

Spotlight : Has made phenomenal improvement, routing a couple of well-regarded novices from top stables over 2m4f here in January after only just failing to hold Reve De Sivola over 2m5f at Newbury on previous start; conqueror franked that form when splendid second here on Wednesday and big player if step up to 3m suits and he's as capable on this less demanding going.

	Shinrock Paddy	158
	Cawley, A P/ Nolan, P
(96)	Form: 1/118-11 Age: 6 Weight: 11-7
		Spotlight

17/2

Susp.

Spotlight : Useful bumper peformer, winner here last season and not disgraced behind Dunguib; had subsequent winner The Hurl trailing in his wake when running away with 2m4f Grade 1 hurdle in bad ground at Navan in December and looked as though longer trip would suit that day, so goes down as a leading fancy.

	Enterprise Park	153
	Townend, P/ Mullins, W
(81)	Form: 1-11 Age: 6 Weight: 11-7
		Spotlight

11/1 12/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Unbeaten in bumper and maiden hurdle at Gowran and Grade 3 novice hurdle at Limerick, improving for step up to 2m6f to brush aside a subsequent Clonmel Listed winner in latter event; certainly more to come from him and trainer expecting a bold show.

	Silver Kate	156
	Coleman, A/ Richards, D
(35)	Form: 511231 Age: 7 Weight: 11-0
		Spotlight

20/1 16/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Has improved with every run since she opened her hurdles account at Chepstow in November and has proved she can do it from front or coming from behind; had a perfect confidence-boosting win at Bangor last month and could be right in the thick of things with her invaluable mares' allowance.

	Fionnegas	150
	Casey, D J/ Mullins, W
(40)	Form: 1-11132 Age: 6 Weight: 11-7
		Spotlight

16/1 12/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Pulled well clear of remainder when chasing home Dunguib in 2m2f Grade 1 at Leopardstown last month to post best figures yet and entitled to considerable respect on that, assuming his stamina will stretch out over this far longer trip.

	The Betchworth Kid	139
	Thornton, R/ King, A
(35)	Form: 123 Age: 5 Weight: 11-7
		Spotlight

14/1 10/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Useful Flat stayer for Michael Bell and has proved a good recruit to hurdling, running two honourable races in defeat since low-key odds-on winning debut at Plumpton; improved for step up to 2m5f when third at Kempton last month, only 1l behind Wednesday's Coral Cup fifth Quantitativeeasing, and trainer hoping for more to come at this trip.

	Cappa Bleu	148
	Moloney, P/ Williams, E
(45)	Form: 111-3F2 Age: 8 Weight: 11-7
		Spotlight

18/1 16/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Officially rated 148 over fences after winning last year's Foxhunter at this meeting, so should be bang there in terms of raw ability and stamina; pleasing hurdles effort when clear second to subsequent scorer Voramar Two at Taunton last month and unwise to underestimate with stable in good form.

	Najaf	152
	Murphy, T J/ Nicholls, P
(33)	Form: 431231 Age: 5 Weight: 11-7
		Spotlight

25/1 28/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Proximity to Jumbo Rio when third in Grade 1 at Auteuil in November stamps him as smart and didn't have to show that level of form to land odds over 2m1f at Exeter last month on British debut when not fully wound up; trainer believes he's crying out for this step up in trip and should give a good account.

	The Hurl	149
	McCoy, A P/ Morris, M
(61)	Form: 212131 Age: 7 Weight: 11-7
		Spotlight

Susp.

Spotlight : Steadily progressing over hurdles, showing stamina in abundance when ploughing through mud to win 3m novice hurdle at Fairyhouse in January after being left in wake of Shinrock Paddy at Navan; remains to be seen if he's equally effective on ground likely to be less demanding and needs to improve on bare form to date.

	Arvika Ligeonniere	154
	Condon, D J/ Mullins, W
(38)	Form: 2-412 Age: 5 Weight: 11-7
		Spotlight

28/1 25/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Not the finished article yet and chasing his game long term but good enough to win 2m4f Fairyhouse heavy-ground maiden in January and decent second when dropped back to 2m next time; step up in trip could help him if he settles better.

	Chartreux	124
	Scudamore, T/ Pipe, D
(50)	Form: 1-11 Age: 5 Weight: 11-7
		Spotlight

25/1 33/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Unbeaten in Dromahane point, Warwick bumper and 2m4f Ffos Las maiden hurdle; made short work of rivals in last-named contest that has worked out reasonably well and trainer describes him as a relentless galloper, so this longer trip shouldn't bother him; undoubtedly promising but needs to take big step forward to take a hand in finish.

	Possol	140
	Johnson, R/ Daly, H
(13)	Form: 201-11P Age: 7 Weight: 11-7
		Spotlight

28/1 25/1

Susp.

Spotlight : In the doghouse after shoddy display of jumping when returned to chasing (favourite) at Doncaster this month but had looked in great fettle when winning two novice hurdles late last year (protecting his handicap mark for a proposed National tilt) and wise not to be too dismissive even though up in class here and perhaps flattered by official rating.

	Berties Dream	155
	Lynch, A E/ Gilligan, P J
(33)	Form: 112F34 Age: 7 Weight: 11-7
		Spotlight

40/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Both wins in August were from front in heavy going over shorter but ridden with more restraint when fair fourth to War Of Attrition in 2m5f Navan Grade 2 last month; fair third to Tell Massini over that trip here in November but not sure he can turn that form around despite 7lb pull and longer trip.

	Premier Victory	156
	Cullen, J L/ Hogan, T
(22)	Form: 152112 Age: 6 Weight: 11-0
		Spotlight

25/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Has shown admirable versatility to show useful hurdles form from 2m-3m; not quite at her best in Thurles Grade 2 last month but that was understandable on her first run since November and it should have teed her up nicely for a bold show here.

	Bostons Angel	146
	Power, R M/ Harrington, Mrs J
(49)	Form: 1-71311 Age: 6 Weight: 11-7
		Spotlight

50/1 66/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Won three of last four over hurdles and showed he doesn't need testing ground when defying big penalty in Doncaster 2m3f novice hurdle, sporting blinkers to help him concentrate; trainer thinks there's more to come, particularly when he goes chasing, but not quite such a blatant stayer as some of these and stamina has to be taken on trust.

	Kennel Hill	149
	Maguire, J M/ Goldsworthy, W K
(27)	Form: 2420R3 Age: 8 Weight: 11-7
		Spotlight

100/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Has shown enough ability in top races to be worth his place but unfortunately has even more temperament, chucking away victory at Kempton, refusing to race at Warwick and making unscheduled contact with far rails after hanging when third at Haydock; can't entertain after such a catalogue of villainy but has tongue tie to help.

	Watamu Bay	141
	Jacob, D/ Mann, C
(54)	Form: 431-211 Age: 7 Weight: 11-7
		Spotlight

50/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Well regarded and much to like about the way he's progressing, putting up best performance last time when giving 6lb and a 2l beating to subsequent winner Cannington Brook over 3m in mud at Towcester in January; clearly long on stamina but not sure he'll be so effective on better ground against the real cracks.
