3/1
Ran a solid race to be fourth at Leopardstown off this mark last time, just four days recovery but looks to have big claims if in the same mood.

Run well enough in five starts over fences to suggest he'll have a say in this on handicap debut.

Winless in 13 over fences now, cut no ice at Naas in November when last sighted and has something to prove.

Tramore winner in December and respectable fourth of 14 back there on New Year's Day off this mark, should give his running once again.

Good effort at Navan from an unpromising position off this mark 12 days ago, stayed on well to the line and would rate a danger if taking closer order in this.

Forecasts

Blackwater Bridge (5/2), Samanntom (3/1), Fluspar (3/1), De Benno (5/1), Blazing West (6/1)

Verdict

Samanntom ran well at Leopardstown on Sunday and should get involved in the finish here off the same mark assuming he's none the worse for those exertions. Blazing West is also an interesting handicap debutant and should be monitored for market support. Fluspar did well enough off this mark last time but might just be held by the handicapper for now and so BLACKWATER BRIDGE gets the vote. He was off the pace for a long way at Navan last month before staying on to be a never-nearer third at the line. With a more prominent racing position, he has a good chance off the same mark now. 1. Blackwater Bridge 2. Samanntom 3. Blazing West
