Comes here in good heart for handicap bow after a solid effort at Down Royal on Boxing Day when just collared late on.
Just the one success from 18 goes over fences, runs consistently but finds winning tough.
Thurles scorer in November and ran a solid race when third in Navan handicap since.
First run in a handicap chase gives him a better chance of getting involved in the shake-up.
Second here in beginners chase back in March but hasn't done so well in two starts this term and up against it here.
Unable to sustain his effort over 2m4f at Thurles latest but could be bang in contention now dropped to the minimum trip in a race he won 12 months ago.
Won over C&D last January but hasn't been in that sort of form since and pulled up latest.
Hasn't done a lot in four starts over fences, pulled up on two most recent outings.
Three-time winner over fences and recent Limerick run was encouraging, drops in trip here.
Forecasts
Velocity Boy (11/4), Pulled Mussel (11/2), Boher Call (13/2), Black Zero (7/1), Killer Crow (7/1), Eiri Na Casca (8/1), Kick On Boss (9/1), Kilcarry Bridge (10/1), Thecraicisninety (12/1)
Boher Call is respected now dropped in trip for a race he won 12 months ago but this looks a good opportunity for VELOCITY BOY to open his account first time in handicap company after a good run at Down Royal latest. Eiri Na Casca would be a threat on a going day but hasn’t been on terms with himself of late while Kilcarry Bridge is another likely to get involved in the finish.
1. Velocity Boy
2. Boher Call
3. Kilcarry Bridge
