18/1
25/1
Decisive winner of handicap chase at Wexford (25.5f, good) last July off 4lb lower; pulled up both starts since returning from a break, in the Ulster National and over the banks at Punchestown; this more suitable but others arrive in better form.
AI verdict
SR 76 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 28/1.

1-7 over hurdles and rated 117; earned an opening chase mark of 115 and could only manage a 25l fifth of 10 in first handicap in this sphere at Down Royal (3m2f, good); eased 2lb; best hurdles form on yielding to soft and heavy so rain would enhance her prospects.
AI verdict
SR 79 suggests ability but 25/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Won off 7lb lower at Leopardstown (21.5f, yielding) in March for this rider; pulled up at Fairyhouse on penultimate but back on track when a 4l second of 14 at Kilbeggan latest; looked as though further would suit last time and he's interesting upped in trip; rain would be a negative.
AI verdict
SR 108 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

1-8 over fences, the win coming in a beginners' at Tramore in November (21.5f, soft); fine effort over the same C&D latest, beaten a neck by Nettuno Italia and 3lb better off now; ran respectably over 21.5f here in April, shaping like this trip could suit; rain no problem; in the mix.

Off the mark over fences at Tramore (21.5f, yielding) on latest, beating Aclass by a neck; 3lb worse off with that rival now but yard in form and he won't have any issues if the ground turns testing (won over hurdles on heavy); should go well again.
AI verdict
Favourable weight of 11-1 gives a real edge in this handicap.
