Verdict
Willie Mullins runs three here and last year's runner-up My Great Mate will be popular. Bowensonfire was the best of these over timber and is a player for last year's winning yard if taking to fences, but a chance is taken on another chasing debutant, FRANKIE JOHN. He won a bumper at this meeting in 2025, he'll love this ground and is bred to make a chaser. [Dave Stephens]

One of three for yard; bumper winner; 2-6 over hurdles and rated 135; has come up short in graded hurdles on last four starts; dam a useful chaser so could take to this discipline; tongue tie goes on; not discounted.- 3BowensonfireJ: Jack KennedyT: G Elliott1107-4Weight 11st 12lbsAge 611/45/2

Very useful over hurdles (5-18, rated 147); goes on any ground and should be sharper for his latest run in a Grade 3 hurdle at Limerick after an 87 day break; every chance he'll take to this game on breeding; big player on chase debut.- 5Frankie JohnJ: Daniel KingT: D Hogan15548-Weight 11st 12lbsAge 610/34/17/2

Point-to-point winner; scored in a bumper at this meeting last year; 1-8 over hurdles and rated 137; half-brother to two chase winners and dam a half-sister to high-class chaser Empire Of Dirt; acts on good ground and interesting on chase debut.- 8My Great MateJ: Paul TownendT: W P Mullins14/24-Weight 11st 12lbsAge 710/311/43/1

Novice hurdle winner here in October 2024 (20.5f, soft); lightly raced since; sent off the 6-4 favourite in this last year on return from 234 days off and found just one too good; similar preparation this year and Townend keeps the faith; player.- 9Robbies RockJ: Keith DonoghueT: G P Cromwell58142/Weight 11st 12lbsAge 58/17/115/2

Useful dual-purpose performer; rated 83 on the Flat; 1-6 over hurdles and rated 127; out of form on the Flat this year, however, and not bred for chasing; others appeal more.- 4Eclipse ChaserJ: Danny MullinsT: W P Mullins0PP-38Weight 11st 12lbsAge 612/1

One of three for yard; 1-6 over hurdles and rated 121; promising start over fences when a 2.75l third at Wexford (2m7f,gd-yld); soundly beaten over 19.5f (good) back there on latest, overlooked by Townend and this trip may be on the sharp side.- 1Arch EmpireJ: Danny GilliganT: G Elliott497-68Weight 11st 12lbsAge 625/1

1-13 and rated 117 over hurdles; below best in that sphere in 2026 and moderate run in Flat maiden at Killarney on latest; best watched on chase debut.- 11Jolie JewelJ: Phillip EnrightT: B Mcmahon106-32Weight 11st 6lbsAge 728/1

2-18 over hurdles; rated 114 after two chase starts; rallied well for a close second in Punchestown novice chase on latest (20.5f, gd-yld); more needed dropped in trip.- 10William TellJ: Peter SmithersT: D H Kelly6-972UWeight 11st 12lbsAge 733/128/1

0-3 in point-to-points; 2-6 and rated 117 over hurdles; promising start to chasing career when runner up at Wexford; blotted copybook when unseating at the first back there on latest; probably up against it in this company.- 2BeggerJ: Ben HarveyT: William HarveyU-UWeight 11st 12lbsAge 666/1
