Failed to strike a blow at Kilbeggan last time and connections reach for the blinkers.

Ran three times in novice company before competing unsuccessfully in a Ballinrobe handicap last time. Looks weighted to the hilt.

8/1
First outing for seven months when beaten a long way in a Thurles handicap hurdle. Back to fences, he should be a good deal sharper.

In-and-out performer who is capable of a big run if putting his best foot forward. That has to be taken on trust.

Has cut little ice in four chases and others make more appeal.

9/2
Yet to win a chase after 14 attempts, but has been running respectably recently and has an in-form jockey on board.

Disappointing at Downpatrick last time, but ran well on his previous start. Others preferred.

As many letters as numbers next to his name and seems to be regressive.

5/1
Won at Clonmel and Tramore in the autumn and has not been disgraced since. Returns after a break and can make his presence felt.

Pulled up in first-time blinkers last time and cheekpieces are back on. Hard to make a case for.

Soaring High34
Age: 10|  Weight: 10-10| J: Phillip Enright| T: R Tyner| OR:  86
6/1
Dual point-to-point winner who was in with every chance when falling in a Tramore handicap chase last time. Has to be feared if there is no lasting damage.

10/1
This is only his third start over fences and he was not disgraced at Tramore last time. One of the more appealing contenders.

Poor record over fences and would not be a leading fancy.

Forecasts

Not For You (9/2), Dark Outsider (5/1), Dr Waluigi (5/1), Soaring High (6/1), William Du Berlais (8/1), Old Time Melody (8/1), Kemboy (8/1), Patsio (10/1), Finding Touch (10/1), Wilde 'n Wide (10/1), Roevin Star (14/1), Gabrielleamee (16/1), Arthamint (16/1), Wild And Wonderful (16/1), Germany John (20/1), Notimetoserve (25/1), Model Cloud (33/1), Dorkas (33/1)

Verdict

Many of these are either out of form or on a downward spiral, but one who still looks to have improvement in him is DARK OUTSIDER, who won twice in the autumn and shapes as though there is another race or two in him. Soaring High has a chance if his recent fall has not left its mark, while Wilde 'n Wide has improvement in him over fences and can go well.
  1. Dark Outsider
  2. Soaring High
  3. Wilde 'n Wide
