Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
5th	1	—	Astley (G) Modest form at best over hurdles but has run to a fairly useful level in a couple of maidens switched to fences this spring. More will be needed here, though.	07535-5	Eoghan Finegan Paul Traynor	6	75.3kg	7 6/1
—	2	—	Cinammon Roll (G) P Fairly useful hurdle bumper/dual hurdle winner last summer. Given time since a below-par run in Gowran handicap hurdle last autumn. A point background provides hope he'll take to fences but Staffords…	111626-	Paddy Cleary G Elliott	6	75.3kg	7 6/1
1st	3	—	Court Canyon (G) T Fair hurdle winner for Gavin Cromwell. Only mid-field on Fairyhouse handicap debut over Easter on her first outing for current yard. Best watched now chasing.	0/5120-1	P J O'Hanlon Ian Donoghue	6	75.3kg	11 10/1
—	4	—	Impero (G) Useful hurdler, including wins around 2m at Ballinrobe and Kelso last spring. Off since a poor run on the Flat at Galway last August so peak fitness has to be taken on trust ahead of this chase debut.	13-2355	Ben Harvey C Collins	7	75.3kg	6 5/1
4th	5	—	Sampoet (G) P Placed in 3 hunters but struggled in ordinary handicaps on last 2 starts and looks firmly up against it here.	4584U7	Ben Harvey D M Christie	9	75.3kg	51 50/1
2nd	6	—	Scalpnagoon (G) T Fairly useful winner over hurdles and translated that ability to chasing at the second time of asking when third in 17f Cork maiden last month. Should go well with a repeat of that form.	3-22342	Kevin Healy G Elliott	6	75.3kg	4 3/1
6th	7	—	Staffordshire Knot (G) FAV B Runner-up on the first of 2 chase starts at the end of 2024. Improved over hurdles last season, including a win in the Grade 2 Boyne at Navan in February. Should be hard to beat back chasing.	31121P/	James Smith G Elliott	8	75.3kg	1.80 4/5
3rd	8	—	Takenasred (G) H Fair hurdler. 18/1, below form tenth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (2½m, soft) 29 days ago. Makes chase debut. Best to look elsewhere.	884400	John Shinnick S R B Crawford	8	75.3kg	15 14/1

Betting forecast: Staffordshire Knot (4/5), Scalpnagoon (3/1), Impero (5/1), Astley (6/1), Cinammon Roll (6/1), Court Canyon (10/1), Takenasred (14/1), Sampoet (50/1)
