I A Connect (G)
FAV
Has shown improvement with consecutive third-place finishes in recent hurdle races. Third of 20 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (6/1) 27 days ago, confirming the promise of recent stable debut. On a handy mark in this sphere, and should t…

Tell Nobody Nothin (G)
Has shown form in handicap chases, finishing second at Naas over 20f two runs back. Finished sixth of 15 in handicap chase at Thurles (7/1) 36 days ago, shaped similarly to previous run and will benefit from return to longer trip. Cheekpie…

Le Grand Vert (G)
[PT]
Won a chase in March but form has dipped since, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (22/1) in a field of 15 just 15 days ago. Returns to chasing off a higher mark and needs to recapture earlier form.

Malton Groove (G)
[PT]
Remains winless after 28 starts and finished 8th of 9 in a handicap chase at Haydock (50/1) 23 days ago when proving more miss than hit. Cheekpieces back on and a 10lb drop in the weights could help.

Royal Time (G)
[P1T]
No win in 6 runs since sole success, 11th of 17 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (33/1) 36 days ago, ran below form. First-time cheekpieces today.

Eagle Terrace (G)
[PT]
Without a win for 2 years exactly, pulled up in 11-runner hurdle at Punchestown (40/1) 15 days ago when weakening before third. Switch back to chasing might help based on fifth-place finish in that discipline 98 days ago.

Jimli's Cave (G)
[B]
Finished 6th of 7 in a handicap chase at Downpatrick (15/2) 77 days ago, went in snatches and dropped away from 4 out. Going the wrong way over obstacles.

Walk In The Sea (M)
[P1T]
Never won in 9 starts; finished fourth of 8 in a maiden chase at Tramore (6/1) 31 days ago, showing some aptitude but possibly stretched by the longer trip. First-time cheekpieces today could help concentration.

Another Challenge (G)
Struggled in recent runs, finishing eighth of 10 in chase handicap at Naas (5/1) 11 days ago. Step up in trip unlikely to help based on previous form.

Bid Up (G)

Yet to make impression in hurdles, finishing 10th of 13 at Thurles (14/1) 29 days ago when not fluent and weakening approaching two out. First run for new trainer. Making chase debut.

Duce Bigalow (G)

Rose Of Kalanisi (M)

Won a Kelso hurdle in April but never travelled when eighth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (4/1) 164 days ago. Form over fences raises significant doubts.

Younowhatimean (G)

Winless in 22 starts, finished 12th of 14 in a hurdle at Limerick (9/1) 38 days ago, failing to build on promise. Cheekpieces back on for return to chase off higher mark.

Baltinglass Hill (G)

Has shown improved form with two third-places, most recently third of 15 in handicap chase at Thurles (16/1) 36 days ago. Without a win in 16 races but could be competitive based on recent efforts.
