Trying to crack this one purely on published info. Rogue Angel is the longer priced one I come up with. That said I don't know enough about the Irish racing scene other than the top horses and trainers, and of course from the discussions on here.
Would appreciate any enlightenment as to Rogue Angels chances.

One of the few that appeal after an initial look at the runners. Certainly fewer negs about him that a lot of the field anyway. Good run at the Festival although if Shotgun Paddy had jumped better he'd have destroyed that field.

Is Goonyella as ground dependant as his form suggests? I'd want to be sure at his price.

I'm not getting involved but If I was a place lay of Tammy's Hill would be my play. Never trust hunter chase form in open company. Although saying that in my spead betting days I lost shedloads selling Teeton Mill in his Hennessy and King George wins.

wtf is Pendra doing in this race.
 
Looking forward to my first visit to Fairyhouse tomorrow.

What a disappointment Oscars Well has become,wouldn't put it past Alfie Sherrin to put his best foot forward.
 
Cause of Causes and Home Farm are two solid propositions - not too harshly treated

Heaney down the bottom could run ok at a price
 
Rich Revival – 33/1 1pt e/way
"He hasn't been himself this year at all for whatever reason so we changed his feed and changed a few things since he ran in the Thyestes Chase as he hadn't been in a good vein of form. He seems to be coming out of it, his coat is good at the minute and I'm contemplating putting blinkers on him as well as he had a couple of hard races when he got his head in front in handicaps last year. I'm looking for a good improvement in form and I think he will."
Chef: Ran well in a hurdle race l/t/o and I get the feeling this has been the target all season

SHUTTHEFRONTDOOR – 12/1 3pts e/way
Jockey says: This is a horse with plenty of improvement left in him and he’s trained by a man that excels in getting one ready for a big staying handicap chase - Jonjo O’Neill, who won this in 2007.
The vibes I’m getting from Jackdaws Castle are very good indeed and that’s encouraging because all I know about this lad is what I’ve seen.
 
My own analysis has lead me towards Daring Article. Has enough experience over fences without being exposed, shown some ability over fences..a big race like this is within the horses compass with a little bit of luck.:)
 
I looked at the Ricci horse, Roddy, 9lb worse off with Rogue Angel when beaten 11 lengths. Different ground admittedly and Mullins/Ricci are pretty formidable. Thus my main bet is Rogue Angel and lesser bets Touch the Eden and Alfie Sherrin.
 
Folsom Blue an interesting one for me at a price


Thought this one was hampered by the fall of Mullaghanoe River and did well to recover into 5th. Doubt he'd have caught the winner anyway under the superb ride he got
