Maiden point-to-pointer who has been pulled up on his last four starts. First-time tongue tie made no difference last time out and was the last throw of the dice by trainer-Mouse Morris. Tough ask on stable debut.

Un-placed in three maiden hurdles in the season 2014-15 and has since being on the point-to-point circuit without success. Difficult to see any hope on chasing debut and first-time cheekpieces.
Looks a solid point-to-point representative but has fallen in both hunter chase starts in career including last time out in November. Market possibly best guide to chances.
Sure to improve on stable debut when second of 13 in a Limerick hunter chase over Christmas. Solid in a number of point-to-point contests and capable of having his say.
Veteran who makes stable debut for fourth career yard. Yet to score in four chase starts and unlikely to trouble the judge here.
Winner of two of his five point-to-point starts and beaten just ½L on sole hunter chase run in November. Another bold bid is likely here.
Maiden after 12 starts under rules and a decent effort to finish runner-up in a maiden point-to-point at Dowth Hall in October before disappointing last time out in a Punchestown chase. Needs to show significant improvement.
Modest hurdler at best and jumped slowly on rules debut for new yard when pulled up in a Limerick hunter chase. Looks a tall order on form shown.
Fourth of nine in a Cork hunter chase splits a series of second places in 3m point-to-point contests before another solid enough run finishing third of 13 in a Limerick maiden hunter chase over Christmas and has place claims in this company.

Forecasts

Sizingdowntherhine (10/11), Eddies Miracle (7/2), Follow The Moon (8/1), Senators Glory (10/1), Coach Road (16/1), Thinkinginmysleep (16/1), Giveabobback (20/1), Baily Fox (25/1), Alice's Star (25/1)

Verdict

SIZINGDOWNTHERHINE can land the spoils here on second start for the Jim Dreaper stable. The eight-year-old was second of 12 on only rules start and can express superiority over Eddies Miracle and Limerick runner-up Follow The Moon who can battle for the minors.

  2. Eddies Miracle
  3. Follow The Moon
