ROSEY'S HOLLOW's last win was in a Grade 3 novice hurdle in February 2021 but can put her chase experience to good use. She failed to build on early promise but comes here fit and well and can be counted upon to run a solid race, again ridden by her 7lb claimer. Chase debutante Finest Evermore won from a rating of 137 over hurdles when last seen in August and will be ready and well schooled for her reappearance. However, aside from an ordinary 2020 bumper win, her form is over longer distances. Return To Base is fit and well but faces a tough task while Thecornerhouse is a useful handicap hurdler but debuts over fences in a smart maiden.
Prediction : 1st Roseys Hollow 2nd Finest Evermore 3rd Return To Base

CAYD BOY has been beaten in six chases and was pulled up in March but drops in grade. Rated 139 at his peak over hurdles and beaten by Impervious on chase debut, most of his form is on testing ground but has run well on a sound surface, and is suited by this distance. I A Connect was well beaten on Kilbeggan chase debut but has a race-fitness edge and ran well over hurdles at Wexford. However he might struggle to beat an on-song selection. Walnut Beach was rated in the 120s over hurdles but ran well on Wexford chase debut last month and is well suited by this trip and is ground-versatile. Ex-UK Galore Dessences ran well rated 138 over hurdles on Irish debut in April but his form has been hit-and-miss in recent years. He was pulled up and well beaten (at Wexford in May) on his two chase runs to date.
Prediction : 1st Cayd Boy 2nd I A Connect 3rd Walnut Beach

BUTTERFLYVESPIERE could be well handicapped. Placed over hurdles at the 2021 Galway festival before winning at Listowel, she returned from 529 days off this year and while initially well beaten on soft ground, ran well recently at Tramore. That winner was a 134-rated hurdler and the selection has a favourable chase rating, which is 3lb lower than her hurdles' mark. Course winner Good As Hell was most unfortunate at Wexford but is 4lb higher today, without her then rider's 4lb claim and notably steps up in grade. The Dara Man is fit and well but is himself 2lb higher than when finishing second at Kilbeggan, when his rider claimed 5lb. Kildorrery isn't ahead of the handicapper while course winner The Banger Doyle was well held at Wexford and concedes plenty weight. Jack Holiday is a dual course winner while Mica Malpic would prefer further.
Prediction : 1st Butterflyvespiere 2nd Good As Hell 3rd The Dara Man

MIDNIGHT IT IS is interesting on handicap chase debut rated 104, and was rated 121 over hurdles last year. He returned from a 369-days layoff when beaten 76 lengths in May but is sure to improve from that run and drops to a low enough level on handicap chase debut, with good ground and a staying distance in his favour. King Ferdinand won a course May hurdle on his most recent start and is also ideally suited by staying distances and good ground. He has won and finished second from just five runs over fences and is rated 3lb lower in this sphere than over hurdles, but nonetheless meets a lesser-exposed selection. Lake Chad has been running well but isn't ahead of the handicapper while Sean Says, Room To Roam, Rebel Waltz, Where's Bunny and Meehall (running in a first-time tongue-tie) are able types at this level.
Prediction : 1st Midnight It Is 2nd King Ferdinand 3rd Lake Chad

LOOK DONT TOUCH seems much better than his current 19-race-maiden status and beat today's contenders Gali Flight and Some Dove in a similar race in May. The selection ran well but unsuccessfully in nine handicap hurdles (competing near today's ceiling 109 hurdle-rating) and a reproduction of his Limerick run would give him every chance, with Gali Flight having seven lengths to find. Some Dove disappointed in that race and while she improved at Downpatrick, needs to maintain progression to win. Inclusion is suited by this distance and good ground and while she might improve from her recent Wexford reappearance, nonetheless carried a light weight then, raced too keenly and was well held. Cheekpieces are applied to Cregane Ned whose best form is on testing ground.
Prediction : 1st Look Dont Touch 2nd Some Dove 3rd Inclusion

TOO BRIGHT has done alright over fences and is suited by this distance and good ground. Flat-bred, he was no star in that code or over hurdles but has shown more over fences, beating a subsequent winner at Kilbeggan on June 4 and ran well in a useful handicap at that venue recently. Desert Friend won on his second chase run at Clonmel but this is tougher. Another recent Clonmel winner Mr Saxobeat steps up in grade but is suited by conditions while Railway Hurricane was rated 131 over hurdles last year and while receiving 4lb, is a thoroughly frustrating 20-race chase maiden. Sphagnum showed progression when winning at Downpatrick but steps up in grade. Hamundarson returned this year but needs to show more in first time cheekpieces. Chase debutante Dovlator has point-to-pointing experience but was well held at Wexford.
Prediction : 1st Too Bright 2nd Desert Friend 3rd Mr Saxobeat

SEARCH FOR A MYTH won over hurdles in May and reverts, on her second attempt, to fences rated 7lb lower. She finished 17 lengths behind the winner when ridden from off the pace on Killarney chase debut last October and having shown good form at Wexford recently, has obvious claims on suitable good ground. Ask The Leader ran well on chase debut at Downpatrick in May and having since run well over hurdles, should get involved. Good World is an able three-time winning hurdler who should compete on handicap chase debut. Clever Currency was left in second when well held at Wexford recently.
Prediction : 1st Search For A Myth 2nd Ask The Leader 3rd Good World

THE EYE OF TULLA has won just once from 17 attempts but has been running consistently well recently. Ground-versatile but with a probable preference for good ground, a reproduction of either of his last two runs, over varying distances, would see him involved at the business end. Movie King parachuted in to win a recent hurdle over today's distance at Down Royal under today's 7lb claiming amateur. He competes from a rating of just 89 today but was well beaten on his sole previous chase run and lacks experience. Dreamsrmadeofthis was well held at Clonmel last month but had previously run well behind the selection at Limerick. Crowsatedappletart might not have been himself behind the selection in that Limerick race but is rated 10lb lower in this sphere than over hurdles and runs in first-time cheekpieces. Point-to-point winner Lesssaidthebetter is a 30-race maiden.
Prediction : 1st The Eye Of Tulla 2nd Movie King 3rd Dreamsrmadeofthis
