The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

BUA BOY returned from a 639-day absence last December and showed encouragement on his chase debut at Wexford recently. Rated 130 in Ireland at his peak in 2022 and a former Galway festival winner, he is probably no longer the force of old but has been allowed him into this 0-116 event and he is well suited by good ground and this distance. Walnut Beach's two wins have come from 46 career starts but is also suited by this distance and is ground-versatile. He has been beaten in six chases but has run well in smart races. Action Motion ran well in a recent hurdle and while similarly ground-versatile, has won just once from 29 runs and debuts over fences.

WALNUT BEACH has more experience than most in this sphere (runner-up twice last summer), so Patrick Flynn's 7-y-o looks the one to beat arriving fit from a couple of spins on the level. He can get the better of Bua Boy, who showed aptitude for chasing when fifth at Wexford just under 3 weeks ago, with chasing debutantes Faux Fur and Red Ball of Fire taken to fight out third spot.

A chance is taken on chasing debutant ZOLPHARINE whose half-sister was a smart chaser and he could make them all go if finding a rhythm

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

Both of PRINCE OF AIR's previous wins have come at Tramore and can follow up his April success, despite having been raised 7lb. His initial win was gained on soft ground last August but is generally at his best on summer ground and remains open to some further progression on this his sixth start over fences. Golden Sandbanks hasn't run over fences since August but has won twice from six chase runs, although has plenty weight under his 4lb claimer. Frustrating Pont Audemer hasn't won since January 2023 but while he wasn't beaten too far at Tipperary last month, cheekpieces are now applied for the first time.

In a race in which several have lots to prove, PRINCE OF AIR very much rates the percentage play on the back of a career-best victory. Golden Sandbanks can give it another good go returned to the larger obstacles, with Druim Samhraidh another to consider despite coming to chasing very late in the day.

He'll handle the ground and is unexposed compared to most of these so PONT AUDEMER can land this having shaped better at Tipperary

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

FARROKH showed big improvement to win at Tipperary in May and has strong claims having again run well on his Tramore chase debut subsequently. His initial form was poor but being an unexposed five-year-old, is open to plenty further progression and, at Tramore, was beaten by two more experienced horses. Inforapenny finished sixth in that Tramore race and while he is a fairly useful summer type, should struggle to turn form with the selection. Garde La Peche was a 170,000 pounds purchase following her debut point-to-point win and while her subsequent hurdles' form has been underwhelming, drops notably in grade and is further notably assisted by her mares' allowance and her rider's 3lb claim.

In an open-looking beginners chase it could pay to side with THE MASS PATH, who ran in points early in his career and is seemingly threatening to come good judged on his latest effort at Limerick. He can make a winning start over fences at the expense of Farrokh, who shaped well when third on his chase debut at Tramore last week. Warm In Gorey can edge out Garde la Peche for the bronze medal.

Charles Byrnes' yard is rolling along nicely and THE MASS PATH wasn't beaten far over hurdles last week; he can go in on chase debut

TAG MAN was a 2022 Punchestown festival bumper winner and while it took seven attempts to win over hurdles, seems suited by summer surfaces and will be well schooled on chase debut - having also finished second in a point-to-point. Last summer's hurdling form was useful and he is well suited by this distance. Two of Ashdale Bob's three wins have come in Grade 2 hurdles but hasn't run over fences since December 2021. Winless since April 2021, he has contested many high-class races but nonetheless faces a stiff enough task on his chase return. Moonovercloon ran well in a Punchestown Listed hurdle last month and then ran well on chase debut, albeit in a lesser race, at Limerick.

ASHDALE BOB hasn't raced over fences since 2021 but he's established as a smart sort over hurdles and is fancied to outclass these. Moonovercloon's opening chase effort was promising and he's a threat, while Tag Man adds further intrigue to the race.

Having run two fine races since returning from a winter break, MOONOVERCLOON can come on from a promising chase debut at Limerick

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

COSMIC BLIZZARD seemed to improve when racing on fast ground for the first time at Limerick last month, when he finished a close second to the in-form winner. His initial form was just ordinary and today he wears a first-time cheekpieces, but being a five-year-old, might continue to progress in summer chases, with today's experienced 5lb claimer offsetting his recent 4lb ratings' hike. Chainofconsequence finished third in that recent Limerick race but is 6lb worse off and has a more exposed profile than the selection. Barbaha Queen is 4lb out of the handicap but her rider claims 7lb and she has some consistently useful recent form.

A case can be made for lots of these but the vote goes to NOT MAY who is fancied to go one better than when a good recent Downpatrick hurdling second now back in this sphere. Cosmic Blizzard is feared most on the back of his good Limerick second, with Barbaha Queen and Kadys Dirha appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

Having gone close on handicap chase debut at Limerick, COSMIC BLIZZARD can go one better today even though he was raised 4lb.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

SAM MAGEE won nicely over hurdles at Wexford in April and might make a winning chase debut. A point-to-point winner in 2022, his best hurdles' form has been achieved over staying distances and having been beaten by some capable types at Thurles in November, subsequently was well suited by Wexford's drier ground. Sea Aster has a light weight under her 5lb claimer and drops in grade, having run well in a useful Killarney chase last month. She has form over similar distances and is also suited by reasonable ground. Givehimthehonour finished second to the selection at Wexford and while he has wining point-to-point form, should struggle to turn placings today, being 6lb worse off.

The betting should reveal plenty but Henry de Bromhead's point scorer SAM MAGEE arrives in winning form over hurdles at Wexford and is taken to go in at the first time of asking in this sphere. Clifftop has the form to play a big part and is next on the list, while both Sea Aster and Solly Attwell can also have a say in a competitive event.

Though making his chasing debut, recent Wexford hurdle winner SAM MAGEE has won a point-to-point and that can help.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

ONEFORTHEDITCH easily won a Ballindenisk maiden point-to-point on May 5 and should compete from her rating on chase debut. She had run well in some handicap hurdles last summer and while clearly no star, her recent 15 lengths points win was encouraging and is well suited by good ground. Dual handicap chase winner Stormy Master was well held at Limerick last month but that was his first run for 338 days. Last year, he returned from another 363-days layoff before winning at Wexford and is also suited by summer ground. Nine-time winning veteran Father Jed was well held on his most recent chase run at Limerick but just five days later, finished second over hurdles at Ballinrobe.

A chance is taken on CORKBEG, who ran quite well in a maiden at Tramore last week and remains unexposed over fences and over this trip. Father Jed and Definiteadare head the dangers.

A dual hurdle winner, including at this track, CORKBEG gave enough encouragement in a Tramore beginners' last week to get the nod.
