Beg To Differ
Promise in a pair of point-to-points at Cragmore and Lisronagh; rules debut at Down Royal was too bad to be true, but not surprising that Derek O'Connor rides Keep On Dreaming instead.

Cause For Comment
Showed promise in a good-ground Galway bumper on debut for Willie Mullins and still owned by his breeder, Jackie Mullins; placed in two point-to-points on testing ground for Sonny Carey; beaten by a longer-priced stablemate at Downpatrick in his first hunters' chase; leading chance.

Keep On Dreaming
Homebred out of the useful Nadiya De La Vega who has produced two winners, including Norwigi for this stable; in the frame in three outings in points since January; just missed cut for last week's Ladies' Cup when Derek O'Connor was lined up for the ride; hooded; stable selected.

Long Road
0-7 in point-to-points; much better form on rules debut last month when strong-finishing second in 2m6f hunters' chase at Tramore; jumped badly and pulled up at Cork a week later.

Made U Look
Came good at fourth attempt when taking Kildorrery maiden in March under a positive ride (second and third have won since); failed to make much impact at Cork in his first hunters' chase; probably capable of better.

Sole win from 11 attempts in points came in a weak Kildorrery contest; unseated on hunters' chase debut at Thurles, carried out at Liscarroll, remote tenth at Cork; held by Made U Look.

12/1 |
Mon Euil
Moderate form over hurdles in the second half of last season; late developer at nine, showed ability when winning a maiden at Ballycahane in March, accounting for Chiefs Kingdom who had useful hurdles form for Paul Nolan early in his career.

Nolans Rocco
Winner at Aghabullogue in January; not a bad effort when 5l third in the Gain Mares' Final at Ballynoe; found 2m inadequate in a Cork bumper; this test should be more suitable.
