Comment: Weakened up the hill when seventh in 2m4f Jack Richards at Cheltenham Festival; made it 3-5 over fences with easy win in Ayr premier handicap chase (16.5f, good to soft) off 138 last month; lurking off dangerous mark back hurdling.

Comment: Came up short in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham (wore cheekpieces and tongue-tie) but had previously been second to Fred Winter winner Puturhandstogether in big-field Cork maiden on final start for Joseph O'Brien; big eyecatcher when second at Newcastle on latest when weak in the betting; big showing anticipated for yard that had impressive handicap winner at the meeting on Tuesday.

Comment: Off the mark in Exeter maiden hurdle (2m1f, good to soft) in December; blundered his rider away mid-race on handicap debut at Newbury; didn't stay 2m5f at Warwick in March; stable 6-27 at Punchestown so he commands respect.

Comment: Made all to win bumper/maiden hurdle on decent ground in early autumn, including over C&D; some solid efforts in defeat in handicaps subsequently, fading late on when strong in the betting at Wexford on latest; not out of things.

Comment: Ran out two from home in two consecutive races late last year; ran too freely on handicap debut at Ascot (23.5f) in February; travelled strongly when winning Fontwell maiden hurdle (17.5f, good) on latest but this is a much bigger ask.

12/1

Comment: Still a maiden after six starts; beaten 2l into second off 105 on her handicap debut at Fairyhouse on return from a break in February; disappointing runner-up when long odds-on for Limerick fillies' maiden hurdle three weeks ago; lightly raced; can give a good account.

18/1

Comment: Dual Flat winner at 1m7f-2m1f on good ground; plenty of encouragement from three runs over timber for this yard since leaving Henry de Bromhead, including a runner-up finish over 2m1f at Limerick on latest; might need a stiffer test on handicap bow.

Comment: 0-15 on the Flat but built on encouraging runs in maiden hurdles around here when comfortably winning at Thurles (15.5f, good) in March; conditions will be ideal on his handicap hurdle debut; on the shortlist.

Comment: Four-time winner is a course victor; last win was at Listowel (2m4f, yielding to soft) last September off 118; now 2lb lower but didn't show much in last three outings and he's shoving on in years.

22/1

Comment: Scored on final run for Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero at Huntingdon in late 2023 and continued progress after 14-month absence for current yard, bagging 2m handicaps at Limerick and Clonmel; pulled up at Ayr off 16lb higher; might have preference for soft.

28/1

Comment: Ran well in defeat several times in Flat maidens for Johnny Murtagh; bled on hurdles debut in December but much better since, getting off the mark in Clonmel maiden (2m1f, good to yielding) two weeks ago; his jumping will need to improve on handicap debut but respected.

3/1

Comment: Grade 2-winning hurdler got off the mark over fences at the fourth time of asking when landing standard Cork beginners' (2m1f, yielding) 11 days ago, doing it from the front; won't be allowed to dictate things here but opening mark is fair and is another worthy of respect for the Mullins stable.

Comment: Sent off favourite for last season's Supreme Novices'; second to Majborough at Fairyhouse in December; reeled in late by Mistergif at that venue next time; pulled up in Thurles beginners' when last seen; talented and hails from top yard but comes with risks attached on handicap debut.

Comment: Maiden hurdler who won his first two chases (including over C&D) under positive rides and returned to those tactics when a highly respectable fifth in the Grand Annual at Cheltenham, his first handicap in this discipline; would have been a lot closer without a late mistake; part of a strong hand for Henry de Bromhead.

Comment: Both career victories have come at Gowran on soft or heavy ground, including a dominant 2m handicap chase victory there in March when seeing off a next time out winner; now 11lb higher and deserves to be at the head of the betting but drying ground has to be a concern.

Comment: Already looking a better chaser than hurdler and seeks a hat-trick after back-to-back wins over 2m5f at Thurles, the latest a handicap off 9lb lower; had plenty in hand that day and drying ground is a plus, while he went close over this trip in January; leading contender.

80/1

Comment: Doesn't hang about on the front end; defied an absence to win at Kilbeggan (2m4f, good) last August off 117 but was pulled up at Naas in January and finished tailed off at Limerick in March; difficult to recommend on that evidence.

Comment: Two-time chase winner; last win in this sphere came at Kilbeggan (20.5f, good) last May off 123; went close at Galway off 130 last August; veteran took heavy defeats at Navan and Wexford on last two starts; may need more respite from the handicapper.

3/1

Comment: Second in the 2023 Grand National; has failed to match that form in two subsequent attempts; however, has strong prospects based on his 18l victory over 3m1f at this venue in February, and a fine third at Cheltenham when nearly taking the wrong course early on did not help; finished well for third behind stablemate Stumptown; tailed off in Grand National.

10/1

Comment: Course winner who returns in tip-top shape after excellent efforts at Cheltenham and Aintree, latterly emerging from well off the pace to be a close fourth over 3m (good); firmly enters the reckoning.

11/1

Comment: Career-best to beat Doddiethegreat in a Pertemps Qualifier at Haydock (3m1f, good to soft) and didn't run at all badly in the Final; couldn't dismiss with Sean Bowen taking over for the first time.

Karl Des Tourelles

Jockey: B Hayes Trainer: Philip Fenton Age/Wt: 5/11-7 F: 7/9237- OR: 137

12/1

Comment: May prefer softer ground ideally and was 8l behind Doddiethegreat on good to soft in the Pertemps Final; essentially progressive, though, and still only a 5yo.

Doddiethegreat

Jockey: B S Hughes Trainer: Nicky Henderson Age/Wt: 9/11-8 F: 5PP21- OR: 138

14/1

Comment: Has clicked in a big way with Brian Hughes on his last two starts (cheekpieces applied), following his second to One Big Bang at Haydock with a gutsy win over Jeriko Du Reponet in the Pertemps Final (3m; tongue-tie added for first time); lightly raced for a 9yo and not fully exposed just yet.

Jockey: S D Torrens Trainer: Joseph Patrick O'Brien Age/Wt: 6/11-3 F: 76330- OR: 133

16/1

Comment: Dual Grade 2 winner as a novice, since then his only success has been on the Flat (in October); third of 20 on his return to hurdling at Leopardstown (2m4f) over Christmas and he ran a long way below market expectations in the Coral Cup; even if back on song, there are stamina doubts now sent beyond 2m5f for the first time.

Flicker Of Hope

Jockey: C Stone-Walsh Trainer: Mark Fahey Age/Wt: 6/11-2 F: 8113P- OR: 132

18/1

Comment: Highly progressive handicapper and better than ever when close third in a 3m Listed handicap at Leopardstown in early February (soft; has won on yielding); offered little in the Grade 1 Albert Bartlett last time but this is more his scene; wouldn't be without a squeak.

Jockey: A P Kelly Trainer: Padraig Roche Age/Wt: 6/11-5 F: 1410- OR: 135

20/1

Comment: Barely sighted when only 8-1 for the Pertemps Final but had won four of his previous seven over hurdles including a qualifier for that race at Leopardstown; finds himself 10lb higher but likely that he has more in the locker.

C'est Ta Chance

Jockey: J J Slevin Trainer: W P Mullins Age/Wt: 6/11-1 F: 12444- OR: 131

20/1

Comment: Represents Team Mullins but hasn't built on an encouraging start over hurdles and he didn't get home over 3m at Ayr (novice handicap), which wasn't a total surprise given his pedigree.

Jockey: J C Gainford Trainer: Sean Thomas Doyle Age/Wt: 8/11-2 F: 22314- OR: 132

22/1

Comment: Won a 2m5f Listed handicap chase at Leopardstown in March (yielding) off a 10lb higher mark and never gave his running in a 3m Grade 3 last time; has to be of interest off this figure returned to hurdling and he did beat Spillane's Tower in a novice two years ago.

Jockey: S F O'Keeffe Trainer: S R B Crawford Age/Wt: 7/11-0 F: 13/43- OR: 130

22/1

Comment: Strike-rate of 4-11 and 3-9 as a hurdler; stuck on well for third over 2m5f at Ayr and that was after 305 days away; could be sharper for that but JJ Slevin seemingly prefers C'Est Ta Chance.

Comment: Finished third of 22 in a 3m handicap at Leopardstown's DRF in February 2024 and lightly raced since then; won over fences in September before falling at Cheltenham (beaten); current wellbeing is an issue but has form claims.

Comment: Smart Flat stayer who finished third in last year's Irish Cesarewitch on good ground; her jumping was noticeably slick when switched to hurdles at Fairyhouse in January and again when narrowly failing to justify market confidence in the Grade 2 Dawn Run at Cheltenham (2m1f, good to soft); strong traveller who brings the best form into this and hard to beat.

Karoline Banbou

Jockey: M P Walsh Trainer: W P Mullins Age/Wt: 5/11-4 F: 2146- OR: 132

6/1

Comment: Smart bumper form in France; 4-9 when winning her maiden and then finished about 9l behind Sixandahalf at Cheltenham where she got outpaced on good to soft; may lack the gears for this under today's conditions and she needs to bounce back from a modest run at Fairyhouse (2m4f Grade 1); still has place claims.

Comment: Third in a 2m4f Grade 1 at Fairyhouse last time (soft/heavy), reversing Cheltenham form with stablemate Karoline Banbou when both finished some way behind Sixandahalf; relying on the latter being below-par if she's to win this, but considered each-way.

9/1

Comment: A new visor replaces the tongue-tie after finishing a well-held fourth when made favourite for a Grade 3 at Limerick last time; ran pretty well in her three previous races won by the likes of The Yellow Clay, The Big Westerner and Final Demand; softer ground might be preferred but would have each-way claims if responding positively to the new headgear.

Comment: Useful Flat performer in France and has made light work of inferior opposition in three 2m hurdle starts for Nicky Henderson, last time going off at 1-25 at Chepstow; this represents a huge rise in class but she's likeable (seems uncomplicated) and her Flat ability has to be respected.

Comment: Probably found the ground too soft in a handicap last time and had previously edged out Beauforts Storm in a Listed hurdle at Thurles in December (2m, good); 3lb worse off with that rival and there are plenty of others to worry about.

Comment: Lightly raced 5yo; won Triumph Hurdle (2m1f, heavy) at last year's Festival; despite some novicey jumps, he made it 2-2 over fences when winning Grade 1 Irish Arkle at Leopardstown (2m1f, yielding) by 9l in February; made shuddering errors late on when third in the Arkle at Cheltenham, but rallied in the closing stages and was beaten only 0.75l; had Only By Night just ahead on that occasion but he will win if he cuts out the mistakes.

Comment: Progressive mare whose record of 3-4 since switched to chasing features wins in Cork Grade 2 and Exeter Listed event, both against her own sex; belied her 25-1 odds with excellent second in dramatic Arkle most recently, edging ahead and looking the likely winner on the run-in only to be collared by the fast-finishing winner close home; had Majborough behind on that occasion but she might be reliant on the Mullins runner to falter in the jumping department again.

25/1

Comment: Has a poor strike-rate over hurdles (1-20) but placed on 14 occasions, and has often held his own in demanding company; fifth in the Coral Cup and fourth in a Grade 2 event over 2m4f at Fairyhouse ten days ago; goes beyond 2m5f for the first time now.

25/1

Comment: Veteran who recorded his biggest success in a 2m Grade 3 contest at Tipperary last July before finishing fourth in the Galway Hurdle; his last four races have been in 2m Grade 1 events, profiting from mishaps to take third place in the Champion Hurdle on latest; won over 3m at Cork in July 2023 but would be a shock winner here.

28/1

Comment: Fifth in last year's Coral Cup here; won a C&D handicap in November before following up in a conditions hurdle at Clonmel; respectable third to Rocky's Diamond in Galmoy Hurdle at Gowran; not by any means disgraced as 80-1 chance when sixth in the Stayers, though well held by Teahupoo and Rocky's Diamond.

100/1

Comment: 2-15 over hurdles, capable of smart form, such as when third behind Home By The Lee in a 3m Grade 1 at Leopardstown in December 2022; gained first win for almost three years at Limerick three starts back, up against it in this company.

Jockey: Mr P W Mullins Trainer: W P Mullins Age/Wt: 5/12-0 F: 1-

Comment: Beat the very useful Cardcounter by 5l in a Curraghmore point-to-point last October; hacked up at Gowran, beating another point winner by 9l, with subsequent Limerick runner-up Powerful Paddy beaten 27l in fourth; Patrick Mullins prefers to Limerick winner Dani Donadoni.

Comment: Recruited for E200,000 after winning a point for the influential Sean Doyle last April; won easily at Newbury (good) and held his own in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham, finishing a 5l fifth but unlucky not to be closer (met with late interference); missed an engagement at Aintree; renews Cheltenham rivalry with He Can't Dance.

Comment: Pulled clear with subsequent winner Theflyingking when making a winning debut at Down Royal in December and changed hands for £120,000 the following month; did well to finish sixth at Aintree (not far off third-placed Koktail Brut) after meeting trouble.

Comment: Odds-on winner on debut at Limerick, beating today's rival Powerful Paddy handsomely; raced keenly and has potential for improvement with the experience under her belt; however, no surprise that Patrick Mullins has rejected her in favour of the exciting Ksar Fatal.

Comment: First bumper run in Ireland was better than the second; won at Plumpton on British debut, beating a mare who won her next two races and finished third to the Irish-trained Seo Linn at Aintree; coped well with the step up in class when third to the still-unbeaten Sober Glory in a Listed bumper at Newbury.

Jockey: Mr H C Swan Trainer: Gordon Elliott Age/Wt: 5/12-0 F: 1443-

Comment: Point winner last season; 7l bumper winner at Fairyhouse on stable debut; Leopardstown run at Christmas was a shade disappointing; more like it when fourth at DRF, only a neck behind stablemate He Can't Dance; confirmed a good standard of form with third placing at Aintree, in front of Kilwaughter (sixth) who met trouble.
