Blazing Duke
Struggled on debut for Gavin Cromwell but much more like it on first start for this yard when a 9.5l fifth of 16 at Gowran (2m, heavy) early last month; that's solid form in the context of this race; player.

Crab Road
Rates an unlikely winner based on two previous maiden hurdle runs at Clonmel (pulled up) and Gowran (beaten 133l).

Empire Walk
Modest form in two point-to-points; similar story in first two maiden hurdles, beaten 31l at Wexford and 20l at Thurles; may do better when tackling handicaps.

Fairlander
Long odds and soundly beaten in a trio of maiden hurdles at 2m-2m4f on varying ground; hard to make a solid case for.

Heavy defeats in a Clonmel bumper in March and a Punchestown maiden hurdle last month when 300-1; hard to fancy.

Kellys Corner
Unplaced in two point-to-points; not beaten that far on hurdles debut at Gowran but soundly beaten at Punchestown latest; minor place chance based on that Gowran run.

Lincall
Tailed off on debut in a valuable Punchestown bumper in April; offered something to work with when a 7l fifth of 18 on hurdles debut at Clonmel 13 days ago; yard in red hot form and leading claims.

Patsy's Pride
Won a point-to-point in January but heavy defeats both starts under Rules; 125-1 and beaten 51l at Navan nine days ago; difficult to fancy.

Take Stock
Promising run on hurdles debut at Punchestown (19.5f, sft-hvy) but didn't build on it dropped back to 2m at Fairyhouse (yld-sft); not discounted stepped back up in trip.

Not easy to make a case for based on heavy defeats at Cork and Clonmel last month; may need more time.

Very modest form so far in two bumpers and a Limerick maiden hurdle; unlikely to be the answer.

Shellrunforbriggs
Struggled in first two starts but a bit better on latest in a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle (20.5f, heavy) when beaten 13.5l into sixth of 16; place chance with a repeat of that.

Hood goes on after three heavy defeats over hurdles at 2m-2m4f on soft and heavy ground; best watched.
