Impressive in Haydock Grade 2 last time, taking hurdles record to 3-3; top on ratings
11	Talk The Talk Chestnut J:J J Slevin T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	J:J J Slevin T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	161	—	2-11F1	150	154	129	37d	—	—	+18	32.9	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Smart; did well to get up in steadily run Grade 1 at the DRF; stronger pace here can help
10	Sober Glory Bay J:Ben Jones T:Philip Hobbs & Johnson White	J:Ben Jones T:Philip Hobbs & Johnson White	161	—	1-1411	148	155	151	31d	—	—	+23	34.8	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Beaten only once; impressive at Newbury last time; should make a bold bid from the front
6	Mighty Park Bay J:Mark Walsh T:W P Mullins	J:Mark Walsh T:W P Mullins	161	—	2-1	-	156	114	54d	—	—	+6	16.6	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Well bred; recorded a 38l success at Fairyhouse; highly regarded and hugely promising
7	Mydaddypaddy Bay J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	161	—	1-112	139	147	144	74d	—	—	+22	32.1	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Favourite for this race prior to a Formby defeat that can be excused; remains of interest
3	El Cairos Chestnut J:Jack Kennedy T:Gordon Elliott	J:Jack Kennedy T:Gordon Elliott	161	—	15-2F1	-	138	71	40d	—	—	-7	2.7	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Clumsy at the final flight in both hurdles attempts but has a big engine; shortlisted
1	Baron Noir Bay J:Tom Bellamy T:Alan King	J:Tom Bellamy T:Alan King	161	—	3-1211	130	138	114	59d	—	—	+20	22.9	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Has a solid record (131211) for current yard and may rate higher still over hurdles
2	Eachtotheirown Bay J:Sean Flanagan T:Barry Connell	J:Sean Flanagan T:Barry Connell	161	—	22-151	138	145	115	51d	—	—	+20	22.9	12.50/1	50/1 2%
2-2 under front-running tactics, latest success in Thurles handicap; this is harder
4	Koktail Brut Bay J:Danny Gilligan T:Gordon Elliott	J:Danny Gilligan T:Gordon Elliott	161	—	-51174	145	149	141	37d	—	—	+30	32.5	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Useful and has Graded from but may lack the class needed for this assignment
12	Too Bossy For Us Bay J:Paul Townend T:W P Mullins	J:Paul Townend T:W P Mullins	161	t	7-51	134	135	107	34d	—	—	+19	21.7	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Quite useful on Flat and still unexposed over hurdles; may build on Punchestown maiden win
9	Sageborough Bay J:Sean O'Keeffe T:Paul Nolan	J:Sean O'Keeffe T:Paul Nolan	161	—	17	-	132	99	100d	—	—	+6	7.2	125.00/1	500/1 0%
Well held in Grade 2 when attempting to follow up his Wexford win; bottom on the figures
NR	Leader d'Allier Bay J:Paul Townend T:W P Mullins	J:Paul Townend T:W P Mullins	161	t	-11121	-	143	111	43d	—	—	—	23.5	—	—
Prolific in French bumpers; won his latest hurdles start emphatically; keeps progressing
