Winner over 2m4f in a handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (good) at the end of May. Fair effort over fences when fifth at Listowel next time out but well held subsequently and others make more appeal here.

Forecasts

Jack The Wire (6/4), Attribution (5/1), Dicosimo (7/1), Killiney Court (9/1), Mr Fiftyone (10/1), Neverushacon (12/1), Lucky Pat (12/1), Noche De Reyes (12/1), Ronava (12/1), Show And Go (16/1), Kilcarry Bridge (20/1), Gentleman Duke (20/1)

Verdict

JACK THE WIRE can follow up last months Tipperary success by taking this competitive handicap chase. The selection has to defy an 11lb rise following that victory but carries a light weight here and can see off his rivals here. Attribution was the winner of a conditions event last time out and is taken to finish runner-up today while Mr Fiftyone can follow up his Killarney third by filling the same position here.
