80/1 |
Ambitious Fellow
Bumper and four-time hurdles winner; unraced under Flat rules and comes here on the back of being pulled up in the Connacht National at Roscommon; best watched.

Arch Empire
Recent efforts over hurdles a little underwhelming but earned a mark of 84 after three good runs in Flat maidens last year, including when third in this race; major player if able to run up to that form.

Catalani
Hunter chase winner at Down Royal in May; well beaten on his first try in a Flat maiden last month; much more needed here.

Has ability; not beaten far in a better contest at Leopardstown last month; each-way possibilities.

Chain Of Destiny
A very infrequent visitor the track; third in a Curragh maiden in 2022 but a mark of 51 fairly reflects his chance.

Soundly beaten in a bumper and two maidens; needs to improve a good deal to be a factor here.

Eagle Fang
Very smart performer; acquitted himself extremely well when second in very valuable handicap hurdles at Aintree and Haydock in the spring; just outpointed by the smart Gaoth Chuil in a similar contest at Leopardstown last month for this rider; the one to beat.

Jetoile
Better chaser than hurdler, as he showed when winning a handicap chase off 120 at Ballinrobe in May; no impact in a 1m4f Tramore maiden since but this longer trip and more conventional track is more likely to suit; could go well.

Bits and pieces of form; third in a Wexford maiden hurdle last summer and not disgraced at Leopardstown last month; more needed here though.

Lord Ffrench
Stayed well to land a Sligo maiden hurdle last summer; enjoys good ground but might find a couple of these too quick.

Path D'oroux
Bumper winner and very useful hurdler/chaser on his day; lost his way last season, but could well play a hand here if he can put it together.

2/1 |
Sunny South West
Dual bumper winner and maiden hurdle winner; lightly raced individual and unlikely they have got to the bottom of him yet; back from a five month break, but dangerous if the market gives the right signals.

Ma Belle Etoile
Won a Cork novice hurdle and a Wexford beginners chase last summer; good run when fifth in a 1m4f Fairyhouse maiden before falling over fences at Wexford two weeks ago; respected.
