Big Interest (G)
[T]
Fair eighth of 16 in hunter chase at Down Royal (24f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Close up when unseated rider 3 out in a point a week ago. Unreliable individual.

Mr D Doyle | D M Christie | 7 | 76.2 kg |

Solitary Man (G)
Useful hurdler. Creditable third of 13 in handicap chase (11/2) at Killarney (20.8f, good to soft) 148 days ago. Has since bagged a couple of points so he's not taken lightly.

Mr J M Halford | E Bolger | 8 | 76.2 kg |

Bartlemy Boy (G)
[P1]
Landed hunter chase at Killarney in May before a very good second of 15 in hunter chase (15/8) at Listowel (23.7f, good to soft) following month. Successful in point since so enters calculations with cheekpieces added.

Alan O'Sullivan | Michael Barry | 8 | 74.8 kg |

Last Round (G)
[H1]
Lightly-raced sort who easily landed 14-runner hunter chase at Limerick (22.6f, heavy) 20 days ago. One to consider with a hood added.
|
Mr H C Swan | G Elliott | 7 | 74.8 kg |

18/1

| 2nd | 5 | — |
Lifetime Ambition (G)
Very smart chaser at peak who recorded a good third of 29 in Foxhunters' at Aintree (21.1f) in April. Readily landed a point in November and this veteran holds leading claims.
|
Ms E C Costello | P M J Doyle | 11 | 74.8 kg |

The Rebel County (G)
Fair chaser. Winner at Tipperary but unseated rider 3 out in hunter chase at Stratford (27.5f) later in May. Still needs considering after a break though.

Mr J Ahern | G Ahern | 6 | 74.8 kg |

Willitgoahead (G)
FAV
Useful chaser. 15/2, respectable second of 16 in hunter chase at Down Royal (24f, good to soft) 23 days ago. This C&D winner enters calculations.

Bold Fury (G)
[H]
Fairly useful chaser. 28/1, first run since leaving Stuart Crawford when good fifth of 16 in hunter chase at Down Royal (24f, good to soft) 23 days ago. In the picture.

Catalani (G)
Multiple point winner who shaped well when third of 6 in bumper at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy) on NH debut 58 days ago. Much respected on his chase debut.

Fakiera (G)
[BT]
Twenty one runs since last win in 2020. Hooded for 1st time, ninth of 15 in hunter chase (33/1) at Listowel (23.7f, good to soft) in June. Pulled up in a point 8 days ago so others are preferred.

Ms N M Bradley | E Griffin | 11 | 73 kg |

Panda Boy (G)
Useful chaser. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 14/1, below form eighth of 14 in handicap chase at Killarney (26f) 8 months ago. Third in a point in November so he's one to consider.

Mr F Maguire | M Brassil | 10 | 73 kg |

Sampoet (G)
Thrice-raced maiden chaser who posted a good second of 6 in hunter chase at Down Royal (23.2f, good) in May on his final run for Terence Leonard. Pulled up on his last two starts in points however so has a bit to prove here.

Temptationinmilan (G)
[T1]
Fair hurdler/chaser. Only 14th in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (24f) 10 months ago on his final run for Charles Byrnes. Fourth in a point 8 days ago but this demands more.
