Selected odds by:

Argento Boy^p1²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| T: W P Mullins| OR: 131| C

12/1

Debut bumper winner who showed fairly useful form when opening his over hurdles in a C&D maiden in February. However, has struggled to make an impact in Grade 1s at Cheltenham/Aintree subsequently and work to do if he's to feature. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

Form: -2P107

Cardcounter³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| T: G Elliott| OR: 138| C

11/1

Runner-up sole start in points who quickly dispelled his hurdles debut mishap when landing a big field maiden here (19f) in February. Ran to a useful level when following up at Navan (22.7f) 39 days ago and likely there's more to come now stamina is tested further up in class.

Form: 2F11

Fleur In The Park²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| T: A Slattery| OR: 135

17/2

Useful hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Wexford in October. 7/2, creditable ¾-length second of 8 to Mr Percy in Easter Festival Novices' Hurdle at Fairyhouse (20f, good) 24 days ago, headed close home. Clearly back in good form but this trip may well stretch him.

Form: 132442

Honesty Policy²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| T: G Elliott| OR: 144

5/2

Jukebox Jury gelding who finished runner-up on hurdles debut at Naas in January and unbeaten since, improving for the step up in trip when bringing up the hat-trick in Grade 1 Mersey Novices' Hurdle at Aintree (20f) 25 days ago. This even greater test promises to suit and he's high on the shortlist.

Form: 22111

Jarrive De Mee⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| T: W P Mullins| OR: 137| D

13/2

Authorized gelding who boasts a positive profile over hurdles, making light work of a double penalty to make it 3-3 in 4-runner Haydock novice (15.6f) 6 weeks ago. Remains open to further progress now upped markedly in trip and worth a look for each-way purposes.

Form: 41-111

Jasmin De Vaux⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| T: W P Mullins| OR: 150| D

13/8

2024 Champion Bumper winner and he made a winning hurdling debut in maiden at Navan in December. Progress stalled initially in graded company but well served by stiffer test when running out a good winner of the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham (3m) 7 weeks ago. Big player with a repeat.

Form: 8-1441

Luckinthecity¹⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| T: W P Mullins| OR: 132| D

66/1

Bumper winner who landed first 2 starts in maiden/novice hurdles at up to 3m. Raced keener than ideal before falling 3 out in Cork Grade 3 when last seen in December but he remains with potential as a stayer back from a break.

Form: 7-311F

Familiar Dreams²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| T: G Elliott| OR: 134| C

14/1

Useful in bumpers and whilst yet to scale same heights over hurdles, she again ran to a fairly useful level when landing mares' Grade 3 at Limerick in March. Had every chance when fifth in Grade 1 Sefton at Aintree last month and she needs to pull out more if she's to land this.

Form: 1-3115

Forecasts

Jasmin De Vaux (13/8), Honesty Policy (5/2), Jarrive De Mee (13/2), Fleur In The Park (17/2), Cardcounter (11/1), Argento Boy (12/1), Familiar Dreams (14/1), Luckinthecity (66/1)

JASMIN DE VAUX proved well suited by the much stiffer test when running out a good winner of the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham (3m) 7 weeks ago. Open to further improvement, a repeat should see him firmly in the mix once more. Mersey winner Honesty Policy appeals as the type to be suited by this increase in trip and is next best ahead of Cardcounter.
