Point-to-point winner Forceonmyown struck in a bumper at Punchestown in January and is respected for the in-form Gordon Elliott team, but NOT NEGOTIABLE gets the vote. The six-year-old mare justified cramped odds at Tipperary in April last year and looks to have found a good opportunity on her first appearance over timber. Galileo Dame placed in a Grade 1 juvenile at Leopardstown in February and has to be of interest back over timber.
As with many maiden and novice hurdles in Ireland, this is nowhere near as competitive as the field size suggests. GALILEO DAME was Grade 1-placed as a juvenile hurdler and also finished sixth in last season's mares' novice hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. Her subsequent disappointments on the Flat are concerning, but if the return to jumping ignites her then she really ought to win. Not Negotiable is the danger, hailing from the Willie Mullins yard. She's not run in 613 days but created a fine impression when winning at Tipperary and Patrick Mullins made no secret of the regard in which he holds her. Forceonmyown is respected also for Gordon Elliott, this point and bumper winner apparently not the biggest and likely to be fit and raring to go for this belated reappearance.
Cashed in on a falling mark when landing a handicap by 4 1/2l off an 11lb lower mark at Cork last time. Effective from 2m2f to 3m and acts on soft and good ground, though others may be better back chasing.
Winner of three hurdle races, a NH flat race, a chase and two point-to-points from 2m to 3m on ground varying from good to yielding - soft. A winner at 18-1 in a hurdle race at Cork over 3m (yielding - soft) on his latest outing last month, beating Midnight Our Fred by 4 1/2l.

West Cork Wildway capitalised on a career-low mark to score over the smaller obstacles at Cork last time and is respected back over fences. However, DECIMATION produced a better performance to make the frame at Fairyhouse on his latest outing and is just 1lb higher. If reproducing that level of form, the 10-year-old could be the one to beat. Of the remainder, Dundaniel makes the most appeal.
Few solid options in this veterans' chase. DUNDANIEL hasn't had much racing for a horse of his age has been running well since joining his current yard even though the ground hasn't been as soft as he likes. That shouldn't be a problem here and he earns a tentative vote over Decimation, who isn't at all consistent but is capable of on his day and now gets blinkers for the first time. Krabat is best of the rest, back chasing off a reduced mark, but it's approaching four years since his last success.
Ran to form on chase debut when second beaten 9 1/2l in a beginners' chase at Cork latest; effective 2m1f-2m5f, acts on yielding to soft, good; likely has more to offer.

Last season's Albert Bartlett runner-up THE BIG WESTERNER shaped with encouragement on her second-placed chase bow behind Coral Cup hero Jimmy Du Seuil at Fairyhouse last month. The six-year-old should appreciate this step up in distance and she holds obvious claims. Farfromnowhere wasn't disgraced on her first attempt over fences when filling the runner-up spot at Cork, but it is too soon to be writing off reopposing third Jade De Grugy, a dual Grade 1 winner over timber, and she's feared most.
A fascinating match between Jade De Grugy and THE BIG WESTERNER. The former was much the best of the pair over hurdles but underwhelmed on her chasing debut at Cork and definitely needs to bounce back, showing herself as good over fences. The selection, however, comes from a point-to-point background and matched her best hurdles effort when runner-up to the very classy Jimmy Du Seuil on her chasing debut at Fairyhouse. The 18l third has won since, giving the form sustance, and with improvement expected, she's taken to outstay her market rival, with almost 2m7f on testing ground at a stiff track very much up her alley. Farfromnowhere may win the race for third but with only seven runners that's not much use for each-way punters.
Made too much use of, probably needed the race when finishing down the field in the Irish Cesarewitch at the Curragh last time. Returns from a long absence; effective around 2m on soft or good to yielding ground; plenty to prove back over hurdles.

Although STORM HEART hasn't been the easiest to train, he clearly possesses plenty of ability. A reproduction of his runner-up effort in a Listed handicap hurdle at Leopardstown in February is likely to prove too strong for these rivals and a second victory over timber may beckon. Riskaway impressed when making a winning start over the smaller obstacles at Thurles and he can keep the selection honest, along with Parnell Street.
Storm Heart was a really smart juvenile hurdler, often performing well at Grade 1 level, including when runner-up in the Spring Juvenile Hurdle at Leopardstown and when fifth behind Majborough in the Triumph. He's been off for almost a year, though, and is far from certain to be suited by 2m4f on a stiff track, especially with the ground forecast to be testing. It is therefore RISKAWAY who is the selection. He won well on his hurdling debut at Thurles and the runner-up has since bolted in, so there's a lot to like about Gordon Elliott's runner, who also receives 3lb from Storm Heart. Expect the selection to have his guaranteed stamina put to use and he can outstay his market rival and ownermate. Parnell Street is progressive and not easily discounted either.

TORPS deserves to get his head in front for the first time after a recent run of placed efforts and, with Emily Costello claiming 4lb from the saddle, the five-year-old has every chance. Midweek Voices won twice last season over fences at Punchestown and Gowran Park and has a handicap mark 10lb lower over the smaller obstacles suggesting he can go well with a recent pipe-opener under his belt. He could get the better of Cork runner-up Rowdy in the race for second.
Midweek Voices was progressive over fences earlier in the year and clearly needed his reappearance run when well beaten over hurdles. He's been left on the same mark, though, and is sticking to smaller obstacles, which maybe isn't ideal, so we'll take him on with handicap newcomer TORPS, who has been shaping as though this longer trip would suit and might prove fairly treated off an opening mark of 110. Whateys Quest is another to take seriously on his first run over hurdles since April 2024, while Rowdy will appeal to many after her recent return to form.
Probably needed the race when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown last time. Returns from a long absence, effective at 2m with cut, and may need this outing.
He has won three hurdle races from 2m 1f to 2m 2f on ground varying from good to soft, but last win was over two years ago. Well beaten at 12-1 when 11th of 12 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Punchestown over 1m 7f (good) in November last year. Having his first run for a new stable today.

GWAN TADHG returns from a lengthy absence but if repeating the level of his Tramore third in May 2024, he has every chance off 1lb lower. Trebizond won twice in 2023 and is one to watch on his first start since August the same year, while Naas fourth King Kali is another to consider. Others to note are Peaceinthevalley and Wardens Whisper.
Peaceinthevalley is from a top yard and surely going to be capable of better at some stage. The stage might be now, as he switches to handicaps and drops in trip, but KING KALI looks a more solid option having returned from more than a year off with a really promising effort over this trip at Naas and should be much sharper now. His win two starts back also reads quite well. Wardens Whisper is considered also, having been running well of late.
Returned to form when suited by a stiff track and decent pace down in trip, landing a handicap by 2 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark at Naas last time. Effective from 2m4f to 3m and acts on any ground; well treated over hurdles on chase form.
He has won a hurdle race, a chase and a point-to-point from 2m to 3m on ground varying from good to soft - heavy. A winner at 13-2 in a hurdle race at Naas over 2m (soft - heavy) on his latest outing earlier this month, beating Club Manager by 2 1/2l.

RIVER VALE won nicely at Naas last time on his return to 2m. He has a 7lb hike to contend with, but there could be more to come over this distance and the underfoot conditions remain in his favour. Harry's Dream is less certain to appreciate the testing going after scoring on better ground at Thurles last month. The latter could still have a say in proceedings, while Clonmel fourth Sheriffhill makes most appeal of the rest.
Harry's Dream won in good style at Thurles and can go well again despite a 7lb rise but the Charles Byrne-trained DIAMOND DOLLAR is expected to prove ideally suited by the drop to a stiff 2m and can finally get off the mark. He travelled well over 2m4f last time before his stamina clearly game way and, off the same mark over this more suitable trip, he has to be going close off such a low weight. Burlington House is another coming off a good run expected to be suited by the return to 2m, while the juvenile Cumberland River can surely do better now handicapping.
