7/2
Now gone 14 runs without a win, dating back to 2015. Third last time in Tramore novice chase, may be able to improve on that showing.

5/1
Sole win over fences came back in June 2015 over 2m4f at Down Royal, has gone close on more than one occasion this year and likely to go through with it sooner or later.

5/1
16-race maiden, finished 10L second of six in 2m4f novice chase at Perth last month. Has to be considered on that showing but may again settle for minor money.

14/1
Chase win came at Downpatrick in August 2015 over this sort of trip, has encountered issues since and run sparingly. Tailed off this month at Kilbeggan on only chase run since that win and had no excuses fitness-wise.

5/1
Winner at Sligo last month over 3m off mark of 84, look very likely to follow up at Tramore down in trip carrying extra 7lb until crashing out at the last. The one to beat if suffering no ill effects from that tumble.

4/1
Record under rules is decidedly poor and well held last month at Tramore extending chase record to 0-8. Others are better equipped.

8/1
Made all to win over 2m at Tramore in April, not as good in two runs since and was pulled up tackling this sort of trip at Killarney in July. Questions to be answered.

20/1
Failed to complete in final two starts for previous yard, is 0-20 over fences so far and races from 11lb out of the handicap this afternoon. Tough ask on stable bow.

Forecasts

Rebel Turn (7/2), Fiddlers Bow (4/1), Fenlon's Hill (5/1), Bellgrove (5/1), Dorkas (5/1), Rufino (8/1), Cnoc Na Sioga (14/1), Paudi The Punter (20/1)

Verdict

Successful at Sligo last month, DORKAS looked every inch the winner again in his follow-up attempt at Tramore before coming to grief at the final obstacle. He's gone up a further 3lb for that misfortune but, assuming he's none the worse for the fall, can gain compensation now. Bellgrove has been loitering with intent at times this season and wouldn't be winning out of turn while Rebel Turn and Fenlon's Hill could also have some input in the finish.
  1. Dorkas
  2. Bellgrove
  3. Fenlon's Hill
