Bumper winner in 2013 for John Jenkins, but well held in face of stiff tasks over fences for new yard. Faces an easier task today, but still has a bit to prove at present and others are preferred.

3/1
Similar form in three chase starts, although more impact when runner-up in handicap company last time. Every chance of a bit more improvement to come, with this step back up in trip likely to suit.

Tale of woe since winning handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (2m4f) last January, and beaten a long way over same C&D earlier this month. Back chasing with plenty to prove.

9/4
Good effort to beat Wildmoor Boy over hurdles at Stratford in the autumn for Liam Lennon, and back on track when third over fences at Downpatrick late last month on debut for Gordon Elliott. Has to be respected.

9/2
Out of a full-sister to same connections' Hidden Cyclone, and second to Petit Mouchoir on sole point start, but disappointing under rules to date. Obvious danger if ever finding that point form again, but hard to see why it should happen here.

4/1
Improved on previous form when third in handicap chase over this trip at Thurles in January, and seemed stretched by longer trip at Clonmel last time. Drops back a couple of furlongs here, which will help, and can go close.

Seemingly much improved when fifth over hurdles here last April, but gone wrong way since, and tailed off on chase bow at Limerick. Simply too much to prove now.

16/1
Just one career win from 43 tries, and form has tailed off recently. Has dropped to a tempting mark, however, and did run well over this C&D at the beginning of the year, so can't be totally ruled out.

Very well treated on pick of hurdles form, but not so good over fences, and just a modest sixth at Naas on latest outing. Plenty on her plate here, and there look to be more solid options.

Forecasts

Presenting Julio (9/4), Dr Waluigi (3/1), Soaring High (4/1), Dangerous Games (9/2), Mount Masada (10/1), Minmore Oscar (10/1), Willow Grange (16/1), Old Time Melody (16/1), Wilde 'n Wide (20/1), Duty Dance (25/1), Dorkas (33/1)

Verdict

SOARING HIGH travelled well until seemingly outstayed at Clonmel last time, and should take the beating back in trip, with Presenting Julio, having just his second start for Gordon Elliott, feared most. Minmore Oscar has been running respectably, and could hit the frame at a price. Willow Grange is another that's worth a second look for the places as well.
