Journey With Me (G)
[T]
Very smart chaser at best for Henry de Bromhead and proved he's still capable of useful form when beating 4 of these in 2½m Cork hunter 5 weeks ago. Big player if lasting out over this longer trip.

Solitary Man (G)
FAV
Won 3 of 4 starts in points and has a good record here. Ran a moody race behind Journey With Me at Cork but return to this longer trip will be in his favour.

Bartlemy Boy (G)
Behind 3 of these at Cork prior to winning small-field point. Took this last year and could be in the shake-up.

Galon De Vauzelle (G)
[B]
Made it 2-3 in points in November but it's been a struggle back in hunters since, well beaten behind Journey With Me and co at Cork 5 weeks ago. Change of headgear.

| 3rd | 5 | — |
Lifetime Ambition (G)
Fit from points and hit the frame in another big hunter at Punchestown 10 days ago. Stands out on form with Derek O'Connor booked although this is a quick turnaround and this track probably doesn't play to his strengths (disappointing favo…

Ebenezer Scrooge (G)
[T]
Fair hurdler at best in 2023 (not seen under Rules for over 2 years). Winning pointer but little promise of late (latest start May 3).

Fakiera (G)
[TB]
Winning hurdler but 0-19 over regulation fences and not the force of old. Maiden pointer, unplaced last 4 starts (behind Tullybeg on latest, Apr 25).

Gin Coco (G)
Fairly useful hurdler. Second to Champion Hunter winner Wonderwall in recent point (Lifetime Ambition third). Interesting hunter debutant.

Headcorn (G)
[T]
Shaped better than the distance beaten suggests on Rules debut in Limerick maiden hunter in December 2024. Dual winning pointer, pulled up last time (Apr 12).

Jetoile (G)
[HT]
Winner of the Old Roan at Aintree in October 2023. Fit from points (runner-up to Lifetime Ambition in November) and ran well behind Journey With Me at Cork 5 weeks ago. Not ruled out in change of headgear.

Tullybeg (G)

Fairly useful chaser at best for Gordon Elliott but became unreliable. Won second of 2 starts in points since last seen under Rules (Apr 25).
