    Love this race, but my record is desperate……

    Ling term fancies are A Wave Of The Sea, and Recent Revelations.

    A Wave Of The Sea remains of interest, despite a poor run in The Grimes Hurdle. He holds an entry for The Guiness Hurdle, but the 33’s here is very tempting.

    Recent Revelations has been slightly disappointing, and he’ll struggle to get in, but I’d chance him here if he miraculously snuck in.

    As well as a Wave Of The Sea, JP can count on plenty of others. Both Aramax and Charli Parcs look overpriced at this stage, and they surely won’t start at current odds.

    Felix Desjy looks a proper contender here, and it’s hard to find a negative. He looked top drawer before a setback, and he looked as good as ever last time.

    Willie Mullins has always got a string hand here, and I’m particularly interested in Great White Shark, the frustrating Mt Leinster, and Tiger Tap Tap.

    I can’t possibly try to dissect this too much at this stage, but the early shortlist…..

    Felix Desjy 8’s
    Aramax 12’s
    Charli Parcs 20’s
    A Wave Of The Sea 33’s
    Recent Revelations 33’s

    The early one that catches my eye is Fan De Blues. Ran a cracker at Leopardstown from a front running position, was well punted and only increased a pound.

    Should sneak in here ok Jack, but if missing out, can always fall back on The Guiness Hurdle.

    Good luck, definitely an interesting one, and certainly a nice price.

    Real problem with A Wave Of The Sea running tomorrow.

    I honestly think he could run Monday, and still take this in, but it’s a risky approach, and part of me wants to go for it.

    Still think the 33’s is too big for this, so I’ll decide next 24 hours.

    Decided to bet Recent Revelations for this.

    He’s extremely unlikely to get in, but should he make it, there’s no way he’d be that price.

    Probably just get my money back, but it made sense to me anyway.

    Recent Revelations 33’s EW 5 Places

    Buildmeupbuttercup for me.

    Two good runs in hot handicaps and still improving; course should suit it perfectly

    As expected, Recent Revelations balloted out.

    Final Decs in, and as good a renewal as you could hope for.

    Still no bet for me then, but no major change to the shortlist, but I’ll be looking at this again before money down, as I’m trying to figure out the Mullins runners.

    Shortlist
    Felix Desjy
    Aramax
    Charli Parcs

    What a race this is looking.

    It is one to come back to tomorrow, but I will definitely bet Tudor City just now at 14-1. I think that Buildmeupbuttercup will be another selection, but I will sleep on it.

    Aramax 14/1 e/w 6 places looks a cracking bet to me

    Tudor City and Aramon are my pair here, I’ve taken 14-1 and 8-1. I’ll do the forecasts as well.

    I have to go with Moon Over Germany here, he’s just too big a price to my eye.

    I’ll add to him tomorrow, but it’s some field, and it won’t be easy.

    Shanning is interesting, but I have a slight preference for Mt Leinster right now.

    Mt Leinster for me as well mate.

    I was very very close to sitting this out, but I’ve went with the Mullins runner, and also Felix Desjy.

    Felix Desjy 6’s
    Mt Leinster 14’s

    Had another look and have added hunters call to my aramax bet

    Just think its fascinating they even kept him in training after 900+ days off the track

    And his form giving weight and a 3 length beating to silver streak makes him look potentially very well handicapped off 135

    Have to admit, i find this race very hard to work out.

    Aramon on looks very smart, Felix could do it, Wonder Laish is a worry considering his yard.

    I probably agree Mt Leinster is worth a go. I thought at one stage, hurdles would produce the quality the yard thought he had all along, but it hasn’t happened yet. Small play on Moon over Germany too. Not sure he’ll do it, but well handicapped on chase form, and it could just clickk,,,

    Interesting race. The outsiders are not-awful so that’s where my ew peanuts are going today.

    Paken’s Rock course form
    Tiger Tap Tap one last chance
    Zoffalee trainer is OK
    Play The Game blew the start last year- better luck this year?

    If one of those can come in the first 6, I get all my money back.

    I have to go with three here, but first of all I will stand by Tudor City + Buildmeupbuttercup both to win

    My ew will either be Moon Over Germany or Tiger Tap Tap
