Winner at Limerick in March (2m1f, heavy) but has toiled a bit since. Tired at Downpatrick last month when attempting this sort of trip for the first time over fences. Not discounted but others seemingly better placed.
Only chase success came over 2m5f on good ground at Fairyhouse in October 2015, was beaten close a dozen length at Limerick over this sort of trip nine days ago. Tends to do best work around this time of year, so may be worth considering.
Winner of a beginners chase at Tramore in August (2m6f, good), has been campaigned over timber since (winner over hurdles last month) and is race-fit as such for this handicap chase debut. Looks a big player.
Won a weak event at Down Royal in May on return to action before being found out at Roscommon since when stepped up to 3m. This looks competitive again and likely to find a couple too good.
Winner of Tramore beginners chase last month (2m5f, good) on just third start over fences. Not exactly thrown in for this handicap debut over fences but capable of improving and certainly entitled to claims.
In good form since having the tongue tie fitted this spring winning over an extended 3m at Kilbeggan (good to yielding) and finishing a respectable second over 3m1f at Roscommon (yielding to soft) subsequently. Races off a mark 9lb higher than for his most recent success and an interesting contender in this.
Placed three times from seven chase starts so far and ran well when finishing a close third on debut for this yard off a mark of 106 at Punchestown (good) in May. Pulled up latest.
Has struggled most in three runs over fences and there has to be some doubt over stamina, Makes handicap chase debut now and doesn't appeal as the likely winner.
Unplaced in six starts over fences, all this year, has a lot to prove at the moment and an unlikely betting proposition for now.
Couple of wins to his name over fences but it has been a struggle in three runs this season, all over 3m+. Drops in distance now needing to up his game considerably.
Pulled up on final two starts last year, hasn't been spotted since December and has it all to prove on previous form under rules.

Sir Jack Yeats (2/1), Na Trachtalai Abu (4/1), Thats Mypresenting (8/1), Ocean Glandore (8/1), Little Stevie (9/1), Padraig's Joy (10/1), Manuka (12/1), Curragh Golan (12/1), Tiger Sam (12/1), Double Scores (12/1), Eiri Na Casca (16/1), St Killenagh (33/1)
Having been campaigned over hurdles since scoring in a beginners chase at Tramore last summer, SIR JACK YEATS makes his handicap chase bow in this and he looks to have the scope to make it a winning start. He's been in good form over timber and looks to have been allotted a decent opening mark tonight. Double Scores and another handicap debutant, Thats Mypresenting, are capable of getting involved while Padraig's Joy does his best work at this time of year and Ocean Glandore could get involved despite disappointing when previously spotted.
- Sir Jack Yeats
- Thats Mypresenting
- Double Scores
