Tetratema Cup Hunters Chase

Enniskillen^p,t²⁰

Age: 13| Weight: 11-8| J: Mr B O Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: P Maher| OR: 83

5/1

All four point-to-point and rules wins have come at Punchestown including in a banks contest back in April so it was no surprise to see the Witness Box gelding win a hunter chase round there last month.

Form: 5-P5651

Call Me Bubbles²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr D G Lavery⁽³⁾| T: C A McBratney

10/1

Five from 23 under rules and a 143-rated hurdler for Willie Mullins back in 2013. Plenty of water under the bridge since and could struggle here.

Form: 1230/1-2

Fenno's Storm⁹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr D L Queally⁽³⁾| T: D Queally

3/1

Revitalised since returning to current handler in two recent point-to-point contests. Market likely to reveal expectations on return to the track.

Form: 112P-PF

Le Braye^t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: R Deegan⁽⁵⁾| T: G P Cromwell

25/1

Solid in two point-to-point displays at the turn of the year but put in a dismal round of jumping when last of six beaten 21L in a Fairyhouse hunter chase last month.

My Murphy²⁷

Age: 12| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr R O Harding⁽³⁾| T: W J Burke| OR: 140| CD

2/1

Six time winner under rules and successful in a heavy ground point-to-point before finishing well behind Gilgamboa on his last two starts. Tough ask for the veteran here.

Form: 82-3133

Venitien De Mai²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Ms L O'Neill⁽³⁾| T: J T R Dreaper| OR: 135| BF

7/4

Useful staying chaser at his best and followed up a point-to-point win by finishing runner-up to Gilgamboa at Down Royal before two heavy defeats since the turn of the year. Easier task in this contest.

Form: F-31249

Forecasts

Venitien De Mai (7/4), My Murphy (2/1), Fenno's Storm (3/1), Enniskillen (5/1), Call Me Bubbles (10/1), Le Braye (25/1)

Useful staying chaser at his best VENITIEN DE MAI is taken to see off the attentions of popular veteran My Murphy in this hunter chase contest. Both have been unfortunate to run in to Gilgamboa of late but can be expected to see off inferior rivals here.
