Brave Fortune
Winning pointer who won twice over hurdles, including a 3l defeat of Heroes Rise at Thurles in December; matched that RPR when third on recent chase debut; good chance.

Harsh
Latest run at Tipperary was too bad to be true having previously finished a close second behind the smart Mirazur West on his second chase start at Cork (2m1f, yielding); that form gives him major claims provided he stays this far, which is by no means guaranteed.

17/2 |
Heroes Rise
Maiden hurdle winner who made a pleasing chase debut when finding one too good at Downpatrick in March (2m3f, good); a line through the winner gives him similar prospects to Uncle Pat, and this 5yo has the benefit of chasing experience; returning to further should also assist.

Luckinthecity
The winner of a bumper and two minor hurdles; running well when falling in a Grade 3 at Cork and was flying too high next time in a Punchestown Grade 1 (3m); remains relatively unexposed ahead of this chase debut.

Mister Beeton
Surely flattered to some extent when beaten under 7l behind the high-class Croke Park in Fairyhouse beginners' chase in November and hasn't progressed from there; others preferred.

3/1 |
Uncle Pat
Lightly raced 7yo from top yard and posted a useful RPR of 123 in winning a 2m6f maiden hurdle at Listowel when last seen in September (good ground); looks the type to make a better chaser and commands respect.

Amyr
Has won a point since struggling in two chase runs nearly two years ago but makes limited appeal on this return from an absence.

Kingston Coole
Winning pointer; 150-1 when unseating early in a hunter chase in March; very opposable.
