Funiculi Funicula (G)
FAV
Useful 17f winner over hurdles who has shaped well on both his runs over fences, forced to switch run-in when a short-head second of 9 in novice chase at Gowran 73 days ago. Can gain compensation.

250/1 and cheekpieces on, unseated rider first in novice chase at Thurles on debut over fences 59 days ago.

Mister Pink (G)
Useful winning hurdler for Willie Mullins but off the track for 14 months. Makes his yard/chase debut with fitness to prove.

Ricky Doyle | R O'Sullivan | 8 | 75.3 kg |

40/1
|
| 4th | 4 | — |
Ocastle Des Mottes (G)
Useful hurdler let down by his jumping when a below-form fifth of 14 in novice chase at Gowran 14 months ago (had chased home Ballyburn at Punchestown prior to that).

Shane Fitzgerald | W P Mullins | 7 | 75.3 kg |

| 3rd | 5 | — |
Scalpnagoon (G)
[T1]
Fairly useful winner over hurdles. 14/1, well-held sixth of 10 in novice chase at Thurles on debut over fences 59 days ago. Tongue strap now goes on.

Jordan Gainford | G Elliott | 6 | 75.3 kg |

| 6th | 6 | — |
The Burrow (G)
20/1, respectable fifth of 11 in 2m novice hurdle at Kilbeggan last May on his final run for Eddie O'Grady. Struggled on chase debut prior to that. Absence to overcome and probably one for handicaps.
|
Niall Moore | P Fenton | 7 | 75.3 kg |

150/1

| 2nd | 7 | — |
Wingmen (G)
Useful chaser placed all 3 starts in maidens but well held in the Golden Miller at Cheltenham 24 days ago. Can go well dropped in trip/class.

Josh Williamson | G Elliott | 8 | 75.3 kg |
