Has yet to win in a dozen career starts and was pulled up on latest outing at Downpatrick 30 days ago. Given who trains him, no surprise if he produces much better in this environment.
Has finished second to Wish Ye Didn't in previous two renewals of this contest, isn't getting any younger and yet to win under rules but ran a commendable race at Down Royal last month to be third and comes here with chance again.
Pulled up in a hunter chase at Downpatrick last month and yet to win in nine starts, seven under rules. Just six-years-old and representing the Bolger yard with positive jockey booking, could offer more over these obstacles.
Regularly hits the frame in point-to-points, though has yet to convince under rules. Hard to be confident in his chances.
Sent off 100/1 and was pulled up at this venue in a hunter chase in February and since cut very little in a pair of point-to-point outings. Looks up against it.
Regular winner in the point-to-point sphere, his only previous run under rules saw him finish eighth of nine in this contest a year ago, beaten 44L. Form in point-to-points this time around is much less inspiring leading in.
Nine-time winner in point-to-points though has failed to complete in more than he's won over the previous 12 months. Without a win in 16 starts under rules but couldn't be dismissed on one of his better days.
Yet to win under rules but wasn't disgraced when finishing fourth in this a year ago. Hasn't been out of the front two in previous four point-to-point runs (two wins) and so arrives back here with clearer credentials than most.
Has been very modest in three starts under rules, most recent of which came at Downpatrick last March in a hunter chase. Form in point-to-points doesn't stack up with some of these rivals and, overall, appears best watched now.
Record stands at 0-9 under rules cannot be described as prolific in point-to-points either, pulled up in that sphere last month and has plenty to prove in here as a result.
Forecasts
Enniskillen (6/4), Need To Know (9/2), Equal Status (9/2), Treo Eile (5/1), Blue Templar (12/1), Oscar Day (20/1), Froggy (20/1), Mia's Milan (20/1), Ballydarsi (50/1), Just Wait And See (66/1)
Two-time runner up Enniskillen ought to give this contest another fair crack and would prove a deserving winner. He warmed up nicely in a hunter chase last month but isn't getting any younger at 12. Treo Eile was fourth a year ago and has been motoring along nicely in the point-to-point sphere as preparation for a second tilt. Need To Know can go close assuming he's in the mood but it might be worth speculating that first-time cheekpieces will bring about some improvement in EQUAL STATUS. His trainer is a master in this sphere and at just six he could have more to come if taking to the challenge under an excellent amateur rider.
- Equal Status
- Treo Eile
- Enniskillen
