Sandor Clegane (G)
[PT]
Talented but ungenuine sort who took advantage of a good opportunity when opening his account over fences in a weak 6-runner maiden at Down Royal last month. This is tougher on paper, but with question marks hanging over several of his riv…

The Rebel County (G)
Hunter chase winner 12 months ago but has not come close to reproducing that form in handicap chases and was disappointing despite support back over hurdles last time.

Butch Cassidy (G)
FAV
[P]
Bumper and maiden hurdle winner who shaped with fair encouragement in maiden chases prior to breaking a blood vessel on handicap debut at Fairyhouse last month. Clearly has the ability to win this but needs to prove he possesses the requir…

D Art D Art (G)
Developed into a useful staying handicap hurdler during 2024/25 and having been badly out of sorts last season proved revitalised for the switch to fences with a narrow success in 23f beginners chase at Wexford on Thursday.

Da Capo Glory (G)
[P]
Very useful hurdler at his best who took a step back in the right direction when eighth in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham and unseated when still in contention at Punchestown last week. Has not pulled up any trees in 3 previous chase starts…

Fair form at best over fences but none of it solid and pulled up in handicaps on last 2 starts.
