PRICKLY has won three bumpers, including one at this venue, and is certain to be match fit following a spin on the Flat at Leopardstown two weeks ago. Add to that Barry Geraghty rides for the first time, and he must have a massive chance. Little Haarth has struck the crossbar on both starts so far this year and should be in the shake-up again, while Cork third Tradewinds adds further spice to the race with Ruby Walsh taking the ride on him.

ANTILOPE DU SEUIL has earned herself a rating of 123 with three comfortable victories at Perth since late April and she is difficult to oppose representing a Gordon Elliott stable who continue to fire out the winners. Duckweed didn't appear to get home over 3m at Roscommon and can fare much better now dropping back in trip, while Thanks For Tea and What A Jewel also merit consideration with recent wins to their name.

An Capall Mor backed up his Perth success with a narrow defeat at Downpatrick and he looks sure to be in the thick of things again. However, the form of NO KIDDING's runner-up finish at Gowran looks to have more substance to it (winner and third struck next time) and she shades the verdict in receipt of 5lb. Lake Chapala might interest each-way punters, lining up off a 2lb higher mark than when placed at Cork.

THE GAME CHANGER looks the one to side with as he was the best of these over hurdles and has done very little wrong in three chase appearances, winning twice before finishing second behind the useful Arnaud at Wexford. His biggest danger could prove to be stablemate Shadow Catcher, who backed up his game C&D success with a silver medal finish at Kilbeggan. Upazo is respected but appears held by the favourite based on recent form.

Miss Dinamic has stylishly notched up a hurdles double at Cartmel and Sligo and warrants plenty of respect now making the switch to fences. Preference, however, is for another chasing newcomer in ICY REPLY. Her hurdles form looks the strongest in the book, including that of Gordon Elliott's charge, and Willie Mullins might be able to bring out further improvement in her (formerly trained by Dessie Hughes). Padraig's Joy makes up the shortlist.

A number of these look to have chances, but the one who appeals most is SPRINGFIELD GREY. The 10-year-old ran right up to his best when runner-up at Tipperary on Sunday and is sure to go close if able to reproduce that level of performance. The booking of top amateur Jamie Codd inspires further confidence. Na Trachtalai Abu must enter calculations having just missed out in a 20-runner handicap at Tipperary last time, while Wandering Aengus, Dom Lukka and Ocean Glandore are others to consider.

Simiel and Outwit are both interesting newcomers hailing from stables who can certainly get one ready first time, but it could pay to side ESCAPE FOOTWEAR. Although making her NH debut, the five-year-old daughter of Mahler should know her job having had six runs between the flags (winning one), and she is expected to go very close representing the formidable bumper combination of Willie and Patrick Mullins.
