Asphalt Cowboy (G)
[P]
Won 2 hunter chases at Downpatrick last spring, including this corresponding event. Placed twice in points this year but pulled up in a hunter at Fairyhouse over Easter and fared no better tried in blinkers at Punchestown subsequently.

Cause For Comment (G)
FAV
Point winner who made it third time lucky in hunters when landing a 3m maiden in decisive fashion at this venue in March. Found out in much better company at Punchestown earlier in the month but should be hard to beat dropped in grade here.

Fortune Lad (G)
Brother to useful hurdler/fairly useful chaser Fortunedefortunata (2m-27f winner). 3 from 9 in points and very interesting Rules newcomer for yard which has lots of success in this sphere.

Montecam (G)
Ex Nicky Henderson inmate who shaped well in a pair of Bellewstown handicap hurdles for John McConnell last summer. However, hasn't pulled up any trees in points recently and looks best watched on chase/hunter debut.

Our Story (G)
[P1]
Dual point winner who finished a well-held second in maiden hunter at Thurles on Rules debut in January and couldn't even match that form at Cork last month. Twice raced in points since and has a lot on his plate at weights back under Rule…

Ramillies (G)
Out of sorts in points this year, behind when running out on most recent outing, so plenty to prove back under Rules.
