4:47 Down Royal Going Good / Distance - 2m 3f

Pool Value: £0.00

Course winner Ballyphilip, Milan Forth and Drumnasoo are pretty closely matched on form and another course winner Big Interest should do better now returned to good ground. However, it might be worth chancing the less exposed BEG TO DIFFER who will have the assistance of Derek O'Connor in the saddle. He has shaped nicely in two point-to-points on easy ground and his pedigree suggests that he could improve plenty for the switch to this sounder surface. [Dave Stephens]

No.	Selection	Form		Guide
1	Ballyphilip Mr N McParlan / Caroline Mccaldin	7yrs / 12st 0lb -11F23 Spotlight	116	2/1
Ballyphilip 5-13 in point-to-points; won a hunters chase at this venue over 2m7f (good) last May; got to within 2l of Carnfunnock at Kirkistown last month and he ran well in the St James's Place at Cheltenham on Friday; this trip may be a shade sharp but he has leading form claims.
2	Big Interest Mr B O'Neill / D M Christie	6yrs / 12st 0lb 41-14P Spotlight	133	13/8
Big Interest Point-to-point winner; won a 3m hunters chase on his Rules' debut here in December on nice ground; not as good on soft the last twice but the return to this venue and good ground offer hope of a revival; lost a shoe in the Tetratema at Gowran nine days ago.
3	Milan Forth Mr K P Healy / A Murray	6yrs / 12st 0lb 211213 Spotlight	126	9/2
Milan Forth Three time point-to-point winner; won a hunters chase at Clonmel (2m4f, yielding to soft) for Paul Flynn; closely matched with Ballyphilip on a line through Carnfunnock; leading chance on first start for Adrian Murray.
4	Beg To Differ Mr D O'Connor / E Bolger	6yrs / 11st 7lb 24 Spotlight		11/1
Beg To Differ Promise in a pair of point-to-points at Cragmore and Lisronagh; from a good family, in good hands, top rider booked and his pedigree suggests that he could improve plenty for this better ground; interesting Rules' debutant.
5	Bold Fury Mr T C Kileff / S R B Crawford	6yrs / 11st 7lb F-3621 Spotlight	119	9/1
Bold Fury 2-10 in point-to-points; both wins came on easy ground but he has run well on good; finished 4.75l behind Ballyphilip in a hunters chase here in May last year; place claims in first-time hood.
6	Dromleigh Miss L Costello / Seamus Murnane	9yrs / 11st 7lb -45027 Spotlight	107	25/1
Dromleigh 1-5 in point-to-points, that win coming in February 2023; went close in a 2m5f hunters chase at Clonmel in January 2024 on heavy; best form has come on testing ground so good ground is a concern; others preferred.
7	Drumnasoo Mr O McGill / R J Tumilty	6yrs / 11st 7lb 3-2P13 Spotlight		11/2
Drumnasoo Got off the mark at the seventh attempt in point-to-points on good to yielding ground at Kirkistown last month; was 2.25l behind Ballyphilip in a 2m7f hunters chase on good ground here last May; this trip may be on the sharp side for him but he should be staying on at the finish.
8	Go Frankie Mr F Maguire / P Griffin	8yrs / 11st 7lb 802F41 Spotlight		33/1
Go Frankie 1-8 in point-to-points for Peter Croke, the win coming on his last start at Boulta (3m, yielding); has since joined Patrick Griffin; others have stronger form claims and he is probably best watched.
9	Long Road Mr B J Walsh / P J Rothwell	6yrs / 11st 7lb -FP42U Spotlight		40/1
Long Road A mixed bag in point-to-points; failed to complete four of his seven starts in that sphere but has also shown ability, such as a 2.5l second at Turtulla on his penultimate start; unseated at Punchestown latest; probably best watched in his first hunters chase.
