Jack Kennedy could have ridden an outsider in the Topham at Aintree, but goes instead to Wexford for five rides and DUNLEER CRYSTAL is one of his best chances on the card. Placed in his first two starts over hurdles, the five-year-old steps up in trip and his half-brother was a winner over this distance. Ifallgoeswell has a lot of experience and makes a quick reappearance after a creditable run in a Cork handicap, but has to give 8lb to the less-exposed selection. All Night Revival is closely matched with Ifallgoeswell on their running at Gowran in January, while hurdling debutant The First Turn beat a useful mare when winning a good-ground bumper in October.
Though the quick turnaround is a concern for IFALLGOESWELL if he repeats the form of his latest run in a hot handicap at Cork last week he should be tough to beat. The stiff track is a slight worry if he employs the same tactics but this is much easier and his bumper form suggests this quicker surface will suit. De Jour En Jour looks the biggest danger on form with his debut run franked at Graded level while Dunleer Crystal is also a danger. That rival's penultimate run has been boosted and he should appreciate this longer trip.
Poor effort down the field in a maiden hurdle at Navan most recent; yet to show any sign of ability under rules.
Unplaced in all six starts. Well beaten at 250-1 behind Kilgame when 13th of 23 on his latest outing in a maiden hurdle race at Navan over 2m (soft) last month.

CAPTAINS SPEECH won a point-to-point at this time of year in 2024 and was then absent until last month when a well-supported second on hurdling debut over this trip at Cork. The El Salvador gelding had a 120-rated rival back in third and the fourth won last time. As long as the ground doesn't dry out too much, he can take this for Henry de Bromhead. Le Moulin Rouge was placed here in the autumn and proved himself over this distance when second at Leopardstown over Christmas, where he finished in front of the selection's Cork conqueror. Green Angel has run two solid races over hurdles and may improve for this sounder surface.
This looks a match race between Le Moulin Rouge and CAPTAINS SPEECH. The former sets the standard on his last run which has been franked at Listed level and he holds the latter on a line through a placed horse that day. However the Henry De Bromhead gelding was backed as if he was a useful type first time out and was perhaps just done by inexperience. He is expected to improve significantly for that initial experience and with the form of his point win boosted he is worth keeping the faith in. The Rebel Fox was far from disgraced for a top yard first time out and may do best of the remainder.
Landed a handicap by 13l off a 14lb lower mark at Fairyhouse three starts back; usually held up; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m4f on heavy and good; must bounce back after poor spell chasing.
A winner of a hurdle race at 2m 4f on soft ground. Well beaten at 5-2 behind Toor Khov when fifth of 9 on his latest outing in a chase at Thurles over 2m 5f (heavy) in January.

SEAN MC was below par over further last time but had previously been second twice over this sort of trip when strongly supported. His six-time winning half-brother relished good ground and Paul Nolan's runner is taken to get off the mark at his local track. Teenage Kiss was placed over course and distance last summer and comes here in form, while Accustomed improved for the application of headgear when second in a big field at Down Royal and now has Jack Kennedy's assistance. Cowper Hall has a lot of weight, but was a facile winner of his most recent start in this discipline.
An open race can go to TEENAGE KISS who caught the eye last time rallying gamely having been given too much to do. She remains a maiden but boasts some good course form on decent ground and her last couple of outings have suggested that this step back up in trip is needed. Hitthehayson has enjoyed a productive season and remains on a generous mark judged on his chase form. Back on better ground he will be a big danger if allowed an easy time up front though he could be pestered by Ceroc. That rival has had excuses over fences recently but the handicapper has relented and he will be suited by conditions representing an in form stable.
Unseated in a handicap hurdle at Down Royal latest when beaten having gone off quickly; effective around 2m-2m7f, acts on soft, good; inconsistent of late, but penultimate run does set standard.
Successful in a hurdle race and a point-to-point at 2m 6f and 3m on yielding - soft ground. Unseated rider when 9-1 at Down Royal over 2m 4f (yielding) in a hurdle race won by Pat's Legacy last month on his latest outing.

WALKS THE TALK stays this far and will enjoy getting back on a sound surface. John McConnell's mare won her first two starts over hurdles on decent ground in the autumn and chased home a progressive Paul Nicholls-trained gelding on her penultimate outing at Musselburgh. The youngest in the line-up, Agameoftwohalves won a maiden over 2m3f at Punchestown and it will be a surprise if this trip proves beyond him. Drying ground is a concern for Rocky's Howya who comes into this on a roll, while Long Branch is a dour stayer but may be on a high enough mark now.
None of the field can be ruled out in this tight contest. Long Branch sets the standard on his penultimate run behind a classy looking rival but he was beaten when coming down next time. Instead the selection is ROCKY'S HOWYA who has proven progressive over hurdles and fences recently. This is his toughest task to date but the thorough stayer should have more to offer judged on his point exploits and could dominate from the front. Agameoftwohalves relished the stamina test when off the mark last time and should appreciate this further step up in trip. He should also be bang there at the finish.

Four of these sport the green and gold silks of JP McManus and THREE IN A ROW is chosen in the hope that he'll be suited by drying ground. It's surprising that he hasn't yet got his head in front over fences, but he couldn't have gone much closer at Punchestown on New Year's Eve and he was placed twice on decent ground this time last year. This is his optimum trip. Other McManus-owned runners with chances are Park Of Kings, who is potentially well handicapped in this sphere, and Harty Cup, who has been in good form over hurdles.
Most of the field can be given a chance here but narrow preference is for JAMES THE BRAVE who was going to win when coming down last time but has only been raised 2lb. The way he has been backed on many of his recent starts suggests he is a long way ahead of his mark and he faces little competition for the lead here. Cloonainra returned to form last time just tiring up the Down Royal hill having looked the winner. She is on a dangerous mark based on her Graded hurdles form and will provide a big challenge if her stamina holds up though her finishing efforts are a worry. Harty Cup found 2m too sharp here on his follow up attempt over hurdles so should be suited by this step up in trip on his chase debut. He will provide a big challenge along with Park Of Kings who races in the same colours. That rival is yet to fire over fences but was a very useful handicap hurdler and represents a local yard which rarely leaves here without a winner.
Winner of four G1s; outpaced, didn't stay comfortably held in a handicap chase at Cheltenham last time; effective at around 2 1/2m; former Grade 1 winner isn't the force of old but running ok in Cross Country races and mark could be generous.
Has won two hurdle races and seven chases from 2m to 2m 5f on ground varying from good to soft to soft - heavy, but last win was over three years ago. Well beaten at 18-1 when sixth of 14 on his latest outing in a chase at Cheltenham over 3m 5f (good to soft) last month.

A very good turnout for this veterans' contest and cases can be made for plenty of these stalwarts. Drying underfoot conditions will suit THE BANGER DOYLE, who was in good heart last summer and warmed up for this with a hurdles outing in February. Dont Go Yet and Krabat were placed in last year's renewal and both come here on the back of a win, while Caesar Rock ran well when second to Krabat at Limerick.
The class angle in the race is undoubtedly Fakir D'Oudairies who has been running with credit in Cross Country events but failing to see the trip out. The multiple Grade 1 winner's best efforts throughout his career have all come on decent ground at around 2 1/2m so he holds strong claims here off a much reduced mark. However he hasn't won in 3 years so it may be worth taking a chance with one at a price. BRIDESWELL LAD fits the bill having been well held in the Ulster National last time but he wasn't given a hard race that day having been badly hampered. Prior to that he had been running into form over hurdles following a lay off and he is now 3lb below his last winning mark. With ground conditions to suit he could spring a surprise with his useful claimer up. There wasn't much between Krabat and Caesar Rock last time and the pair are also expected to be thereabouts once again.
Rallied, returned to form up in trip back on better ground landing a handicap hurdle by 3/4l off this mark at Down Royal last time; effective 2 1/2m, wants decent ground; inconsistent but remains well treated on old form.
She has won three hurdle races and a NH flat race from 1m 7f to 2m 4f on ground varying from good to yielding. A winner at 11-1 in a hurdle race at Down Royal over 2m 4f (yielding) on her latest outing last month, beating Coppola by 3/4l.

Dermot McLoughlin had a quiet time over the winter, but Barry Lyndon ran well for him at Fairyhouse last weekend and both of his runners in this have shown a liking for Wexford. FINNIANS ROW won off this mark here last summer and his comeback run on soft ground last month will have served it's purpose. Malton Groove is a long-standing maiden and lacks a recent outing, but he was touched off in last year's renewal and is now 6lb lower. Chase debutant Rajjnatin is noted too.
ROCKSTOWN GIRL is far from reliable but is worth sticking with after a recent hurdles win. She beat an unexposed rival that day and remains well treated on her autumn novice chase form while conditions will be in her favour once more. Last time out winner Connemara Shore looks the obvious danger for an in form stable as the point winner still looks on a generous mark based on her form in that discipline. At a bigger price My Good Pal is also of some interest. He's lost his form over hurdles recently but is unexposed in this sphere and looks on a fair mark judged on his debut effort where he fell when travelling powefully.
