Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Sam Ewing| T: G Elliott| OR: 155| CD

11/10

Quick to make into a very smart chaser last term, successful twice prior to an excellent second in the Arkle at Cheltenham. Signed off with a hard fought success in Grade 1 Maghull Novices' Chase at Aintree in April and serious claims on return/back up in trip.

Lucid Dreams³⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: D E Mullins| T: J P Ryan| OR: 142

6/1

Useful chaser. Six wins from 21 NH runs. Creditable third of 17 in Kerry National at Listowel (23.8f, soft, 28/1) 38 days ago, that trip possibly at the very limit of his stamina. May be sharper with that run under his belt but he may have to settle for a minor role again at this level.

The Big Chap^p¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: K M Donoghue| T: P W Flynn| OR: 140

14/1

Useful chaser. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap chase at Limerick (19.2f, good to soft, 11/2) 13 days ago, jumping/travelling well and ultimately doing it comfortably. This understandably much tougher.

Ivar The Boneless^h,t³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: K E Buckley| T: R K Watson| OR: 87

250/1

Modest form at best over fences for present stable. 40/1, ninth of 11 in handicap chase at Sligo (21.1f, good) 31 days ago. Can't be fancied.

Form: 7566-79

Pinkerton^t¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: D Meyler| T: N Meade| OR: 147| C

5/4

Useful winner at 15f over hurdles. Fine start over fences earlier this year, bringing up the hat-trick in Galway Plate (22.5f) in July, holding on gamely. Likely to be sharper for his recent third on the Flat at Navan (14f) and he's one to consider here.

Forecasts

Found A Fifty (11/10), Pinkerton (5/4), Lucid Dreams (6/1), The Big Chap (14/1), Ivar The Boneless (250/1)

FOUND A FIFTY signed off a highly productive novice season in this sphere with success in Grade 1 company at Aintree in April and, despite conceding weight all round, he's fancied to make a bold bid with his yard boasting a fine record in this race. Galway Plate winner Pinkerton rates the chief threat ahead of Lucid Dreams.
