Runners Spotlight

Casual Water
Favorite

Mastercraftsman gelding; 150,000euros yearling; half-brother to dual Champion Chase winner Altior; dam bumper/2m1f hurdle winner; will need to be above-average to win this on debut but he might well be.

Jockey: Paul TownendTrainer: W P Mullins
2
He Can't Dance

Bumper winner; useful form in six hurdling starts, never out of the first three; third of 21 in Listed DRF handicap in February (3m, heavy); runner-up in 2m4f Fairyhouse maiden hurdle 12 days ago; will go well again but is becoming costly to follow.

Jockey: Jack KennedyTrainer: Gordon Elliott
3
King's Bucks

Point winner; only second run over hurdles when third behind No Drama This End (runner-up also a class act) in Cheltenham Grade 2 in November (2m5f, soft); defeated at odds-on in very testing conditions in course maiden; pulled up in the Albert Bartlet; rated 130 and one to beat.

Jockey: Darragh O'KeeffeTrainer: Henry De Bromhead
4
Loyal Praetorian

Hasn't really fired since finishing second in Clonmel maiden hurdle in December; too much to find on ratings.

Jockey: Mr L M Kelleher(7)Trainer: Gerard Kelleher
5
Sam's Favourite

Refused at the second on debut at Leopardstown; triple-figure odds and never a factor in three starts since; look elsewhere.

Jockey: Simon TorrensTrainer: Patrick T Foley
