Just five runs aged eight, but back from latest break with fortunate Listowel success in 2m1f beginners chase before a disappointing 37L defeat when last seen in September. Clearly fragile and market possibly best guide.
Not seen since May when winning a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan on yielding ground beating 15 rivals with Great Khan back in second. Worth a market check on chasing debut.
Prone to the odd mistake and is still without a win in seven chase starts but produced a promising effort last time out second of six beaten ½L at Limerick on St Stephens Day. More progress possible and not discounted.
Course winner that has won over the trip who finished a distant third of 11 beaten 21L when beaten favourite on handicap chase debut at Punchestown. Should make his presence felt.
Finished 7¼L behind Tombstone at Navan before a heavy 70L defeat in a Grade 2 novice chase. Plenty to find on recent offerings.
Forecasts
Close Shave (6/5), Art Of Synergy (3/1), Alto Esqua (4/1), Ballela Boy (5/1), Inis Meain (12/1)
Lack of a front runner in this event may leave it to CLOSE SHAVE to make all under Barry Geraghty in the colours of J P McManus and can bounce back from a disappointing run last time out in a Punchestown handicap chase. The Gordon Elliott-trained Ballela Boy and Alto Esqua can give the selection the most to think about.
- Close Shave
- Ballela Boy
- Alto Esqua
