131 Expert View: Ran to form when second beaten 9l in a novice chase at Killarney latest; effective 2 1/2m; probably one for handicaps over fences but not dismissed down in class.
Form Snapshot: He has won three hurdle races and a NH flat race from 2m to 2m 4f on ground varying from good - yielding to soft - heavy, but last win was over two years ago.

133 Expert View: No obvious excuse down the field in Listed Handicap Hurdle here most recent; effective 2-3m, acts on any; bumper form had knocks but hurdles form looks strong, must bounce back on chase debut.
Form Snapshot: Successful in a hurdle race and a NH flat race at 1m 7f and 2m 7f on good - yielding and soft - heavy ground. Well beaten at 9-1 behind Blue Mosque when 21st of 24 on his latest outing in a hurdle race here over 2m 7f (yielding) in April.
119 Expert View: Improved for debut experience, needed run when fourth beaten 20l in a beginners chase chase at Limerick latest; effective 2m5f, acts on good; useful hurdler, more to come over fences.
Form Snapshot: A winner of a hurdle race at 2m 6f on good ground. Finished 20l behind Sporting Glance when fourth of 5 at 7-2 on his latest outing in a chase at Limerick over 2m 7f (good) last month.
135 Expert View: Made too much use of when fourth beaten 73l in the Conditions Hurdle at Fairyhouse latest; effective 2-2 1/2m; progressive until latest over hurdles, threat if fit for chase debut.
Form Snapshot: He has won two hurdle races and a NH flat race from 1m 7f to 2m 4f on good - yielding and soft ground. Well beaten at 9-4 behind Fad Eadrainn when last of 4 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Fairyhouse over 2m 4f (soft - heavy) in November last year.
84 Expert View: Pulled up in a beginners chase chase at Kilbeggan latest where never jumped or travelled; form has tailed off; all to prove.
Form Snapshot: A winner of a point-to-point at 3m on heavy ground. Pulled up at the 6th when 100-1 at Kilbeggan over 2m 4f (good - yielding) in a chase won by Apple's Of Bresil last month on his latest outing.
132 Expert View: Travelled but didn't find much, possibly needed run down the field in William Hill Handicap Hurdle at Aintree most recent; off a short-break; suited by 3m, acts on any, get even further; generally consistent since being upped to staying trips over hurdles; in the mix on chase debut.
Form Snapshot: Successful in two hurdle races at 3m and 3m 1f on good - yielding ground. Well beaten at 18-1 behind Wade Out when 10th of 22 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Aintree over 3m 1f (good to soft) in April.
133 Expert View: Improved down in trip, helped set it up for closer when second beaten 2 1/4l in COLM QUINN BMW Novice Hurdle (Listed) at Galway latest; returning from long layoff; effective 2-2 1/2m; hurdles form franked, much more to come over fences.
Form Snapshot: A winner of a hurdle race at 2m 5f on good ground. Beaten 2 1/4l by Sticktotheplan when second of 7 at 7-2 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Galway over 2m (good) in July last year.
132 Expert View: Never jumped or travelled, looked awkward down the field in a handicap hurdle at Cheltenham most recent; off a short-break; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on decent ground; showed useful form as a juvenile, tricky ride, must bounce back on chase debut.
Form Snapshot: A winner of a hurdle race at 2m on yielding ground. Well beaten at 16-1 behind Air Of Entitlement when 20th of 24 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Cheltenham over 2m 4f (soft) in March.
Ground versatile and a previous course winner, DA CAPO GLORY wasn't disgraced over hurdles at Cheltenham in March and chased home a capable type at Killarney last month. He can put his experience to good use under a 7lb claimer. Chase-debutant Fillyoureye is similarly ridden by a 7lb claimer and stays well, while Kainsbourg was Grade 2 placed over hurdles last October.
This could be dominated by the JP McManus pair Kainsbourg and VICAR STREET. Both lack fitness but showed a high class level of form over hurdles with the former placing at Grade 2 level in the autumn. The latter's runner up effort in a Listed contest has been boosted at a higher level and he quickly goes chasing for a top stable. If his stamina holds out he can defeat strong stayer Quantum Quest who was a useful handicapper over hurdles and represents a yard where horses tend to improve for chasing.
