Runner-up at Thurles in November, STILY can get his head in front for the first time. Trained locally by Michael McDonagh, the six-year-old remains a maiden after 14 starts but had been in decent form for much of last season. The gelding should have every chance here if ready following a 182-day absence. A winner over hurdles on her penultimate start, Ellies Rock is interesting on her chasing debut. Donnrua Dream is another that has leading claims in a competitive affair.
PRINCE OF AIR can snap his long losing run here. The return to chasing in first time blinkers is a big positive and he's well treated on his best form from last autumn which came at around 2m on decent ground. Recent hurdles winner Ellies Rock likely has more to offer now handicapping over fences and looks the biggest threat while Patrick Street will also be of interest if getting a run. The dual purpose performer arrives in form and his last hurdles run is worth marking up as he was given too much to do. If taking to chasing he should be bang there.
Improved on chase debut when second beaten 1/2l in a beginners chase chase at Killarney latest; effective 2 1/2-2 3/4m; more to come over fences when stepped up in trip.
Successful in a hurdle race and a point-to-point at 2m 6f and 3m on yielding ground. Beaten 1/2l by Miss Doyenne when second of 10 at 12-1 on her chase debut at Killarney over 2m 5f (good - yielding) earlier this month.

| BF Was beaten favourite last time out | |||||
A faller on her last two starts over fences, LOOK TO THE WEST can win this granted a clear round. Slightly unfortunate when third on her chasing debut at Clonmel in February of last year, the Henry De Bromhead-trained mare opened her account at Kilbeggan next time. The daughter of Westerner faces her easiest assignment so far this season and looks to have an excellent chance. Broomfield Bijou has been highly tried in recent outings. This looks an easier task and, should the selection falter, the James Hannon-trained mare looks best placed to take advantage. Affinity Rock heads the remainder.
LOOK TO THE WEST was running a big race behind a pair of classy performers when coming down last time but can make amends here. Her debut form has been boosted several times at Listed level and she should have too much for this line up. Useful but inconsistent Broomfield Bijou looks the clear danger on form taking a significant drop in class while hurdles winner Affinity Rock isn't ruled out either. She chased home a progressive rival on her chase debut and is entitled to come on for her first run in nearly a year.
Never threatened ridden to see out the trip on chase debut, ran to form well beaten in a beginners chase chase at Kilbeggan latest; effective 2-2 1/2m; progressive hurdler, probably one for handicaps over fences.
He has won three hurdle races from 1m 7f to 2m 4f on good and heavy ground. Well beaten at 12-1 behind Supersundae when seventh of 12 on his chase debut at Kilbeggan over 2m 6f (good - yielding) last month.

The winner of a Listed novice hurdle at this track last October, SHADOW PADDY can deliver on his chasing debut. Trainer Eoin McCarthy did exceptionally well with the son of Shadow Gale, picking up four races over flights last year. Highly tried on his reappearance when pulled up in Grade 1 company at Aintree last month, this is more realistic. While his ability to jump fences has to be taken on trust, the six-year-old looks the pick on his hurdles form. Twice successful over flights, Le Coq Hardi has yet to win over fences but has run to a decent level and boasts an official rating of 136. Ocastle Des Mottes has also shown enough over fences to be of interest.
A good race where LE COQ HARDI can take advantage of a drop in class on his return from a break. He brings in some strong handicap form and his debut effort has been boosted at the top level this spring. The drying conditions are in his favour as they are for progressive hurdler Shadow Paddy who was a winner at Listed level in that discipline. He was outclassed in a Grade 1 last time but is entitled to come on for that first run of the year and he looks a big player on his chase debut. Though he is the stable second string on jockey bookings Soir De Garde showed better form over hurdles than his stablemate Ocastle Des Mottes and could also get involved on his first start over fences.
Pestered up front and made too much use of comfortably held in a handicap chase here last time; effective 2m to 2 3/4m, acts on heavy and good; back from a break and may need race.
He has won a hurdle race and two chases from 2m 2f to 2m 4f on ground varying from good to yielding - soft. Finished 17l behind Crowsatedappletart when sixth of 9 at 13-2 on his latest outing in a chase here over 2m 3f (yielding - soft) in October last year.

Runner-up here when last seen in March, DOYEN MAGIC can go one better. The Philip Rothwell-trained mare won over hurdles at this venue last November and also has a chasing success to her name. The seven-year-old should appreciate the recent rain and looks the one to beat. Off the mark over flights here last month, Springboard has scope for improvement on his chasing debut and holds every chance of registering a second career success. Third at Killarney recently, Toon Town has to be respected. Although yet to fully prove his stamina for this trip, his breeding suggests that he should be suited to it.
GLITZ AND GLAMOUR failed to build on a promising chase debut last time but she was given an overly negative ride and is likely to improve for the switch to longer trips in handicaps. She gets the assistance of Harry Cobden here and looks on a dangerous mark judged on her best hurdle form. Springboard was a winner last time over hurdles and should continue his progression now chasing with the longer trip a positive. He can chase the selection home ahead of Toon Town who has continued his good run of form for his new stable.
May have found ground on the quick side on chase debut comfortably held in a beginners chase chase at Wexford last time; effective 2m5f, acts with cut; can do better judged on hurdle form.
A winner of a hurdle race at 2m 5f on soft ground. Finished 17l behind D Art D Art when fifth of 6 at 16-1 on his chase debut at Wexford over 2m 7f (good - yielding) earlier this month.

GAME ON ran well in two competitive point-to-points and won a good-ground maiden hurdle at Downpatrick just over a year ago. He sustained an overreach when pulled up on his chasing debut at Kilbeggan and his trainer has described him as 'a real fast-ground horse who jumps very well'. Sporting Glance won a point-to-point and progressed well in staying hurdles in the autumn. He holds the highest hurdles rating of any of these and looks a likely contender. Some Song was a lucky winner of a maiden hurdle at Down Royal in October, but he is a point-to-point winner and represents a trainer with a good strike-rate in this type of contest.
The quick ground is a slight concern for AMERICAN JUKEBOX but he should find this a fair bit easier than the race he contested on chase debut last time. He should come on for that outing and with the drop in trip in his favour he is chosen ahead of the unexposed Some Song who looks his stable's first string on jockey bookings. He comes from a yard where horses tend to improve for the switch to fences and he ran well in a hot handicap hurdle last time on his return from a break. The similarly unexposed Clody Diamond looks the pick of the Paul Nolan pair and will appreciate the step back up in trip on chase debut so may fill the places.
Did plenty early well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Down Royal latest; tongue-tie first time; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts with cut; can do better over fences; unexposed, needs drop back in trip.
Placed in a hurdle race and a point-to-point from eight starts. Well beaten at 9-2 behind Only For Our Man when seventh of 10 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Down Royal over 2m 6f (good) last month. He is wearing a tongue-tie for the first time.

Having looked limited over hurdles, ANOTHER CHALLENGE showed much improved form on his second start over fences when second in a Down Royal handicap over Christmas. The third won since and Oliver McKiernan's six-year-old is bred to appreciate the extra two furlongs that he races over here. Since the selection's latest outing, his stable has enjoyed a revival in form and he can add to the recent fruitful spell. Royal Time was a long way behind Another Challenge at Down Royal in December, but ran a much better race when third back there the following month and he is now tried in blinkers. Another Ocana has an acceptable record at this venue and has place claims.
DOYEN WOLF is picked to make a winning chase debut here. He showed he could be competitive off similar ratings when placed over hurdles last time and his point exploits suggest he should improve for the switch to fences on favourable good ground. Another Challenge left his debut form behind when runner up last time and looks the big danger based on that effort. Royal Time isn't one to rely on but will also be a threat if bringing his best in the first time blinkers.

Josh Williamson's 5lb claim is going to be much sought after as the season goes on and it could enable SNOW PUNT to gain a deserved breakthrough victory under Rules. The nine-year-old has made the first three in his last five starts over fences and was touched off over C&D in March. He has crept up a few pounds in the ratings for those placed efforts, but his talented rider's allowance will negate that increase. A Year Older won by six lengths at Fairyhouse in January and was beside the selection, and still going well, when falling four out at Down Royal last month. Oneforgonzo is up 7lb for his win at Killarney and is far from out of it either.
ONEFORGONZO took advantage of a lower chase mark last time and is backed to follow up off 7lb higher. He remains well treated on his hurdle form and isn't fully exposed over trips this far over fences. Love Like This has returned to form over hurdles recently back on a quicker surface and is another on a potentially lenient mark judged on that form. She looks the chief threat while at a bigger price Without Exception is of some interest on his chase debut. The inconsistent hurdler was outstayed on heavy ground last time but should find this surface more suitable and he remains unexposed in this discipline.

SMALLCRAFTWARNING was second three times in a row in handicap chases in October after winning over fences for the first time at Killarney in July. He was tailed off at the latter track on his first run of the year, but probably needed the outing and a more prominent display would not be a surprise now. Leopardstown winner Harbour Highway may not have been suited by dropping back in trip when second at Kilbeggan, and stepping up to 3m may unlock improvement. The locally-trained Battle Of Mirbat is a strong stayer and has been largely consistent since his latest win at Down Royal in November.
A chance is taken on top weight NYTOL here. She is yet to show anything of note over fences but she has been racing over inadequate trips on unsuitable soft ground and now gets her conditions on her handicap debut. She is dangerously treated on her best hurdle form and is chosen ahead of the steadily progressive Nastya who has been freshened up after falling last time when set for a place. Veteran Battle Of Mirbat has returned to form of late and was just outstayed over 3m2f last time. His last victory came over 3m and he could have a say dropped back in distance.
