Daily Mirror Hunters Chase

Off time: 17:10 | Winning time: 5m 41.70s

Clondaw Frisby²³

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr M J O'Hare⁽⁵⁾| T: J G Cosgrave

7/2

Has had far more racing in point-to-points compared to under rules up until now, but has won in this medium and is worth another try at this level.

Form: 213-B31

Enniskillen^p,t²⁹

Age: 13| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr B O Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: P Maher| OR: 83

6/1

Point-to-point winner at Punchestown last time. Form ties in with some good horses but has something to prove now dropping back in trip and given his age.

Form: 5-P5651

Eddies Miracle²³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr B O'Neill| T: D M Christie

4/1

Point-to-point winner two starts back who ran only fairly at Fairyhouse last time in a hunter chase. Needs improvement on that in order to figure here.

Form: 621F14

Quiet Account³⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr N McParlan⁽³⁾| T: C A McBratney

6/1

Talented point-to-pointer/chaser, though slightly disappointing when pulled up in a point last time out. Usually relishes this medium so return to racing under rules may well suit, and he holds strong claims if bouncing back.

Form: 1-P4F2P

Sizingdowntherhine^t³³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr J J Codd| T: J T R Dreaper

13/8

Does well in these races (form of 22 so far this season), and could have further improvement to come given he has had relatively little racing compared to the average horse in this medium.

Form: 2/125-32

Sommerton²⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr D O'Connor| T: P Maher

33/1

Patchy form in hunter chases and in point-to-points, and isn't one to rely on after recent efforts (has been pulled up two of his last three starts).

Form: 3P-5PP3

Forecasts

Sizingdowntherhine (13/8), Clondaw Frisby (7/2), Eddies Miracle (4/1), Enniskillen (6/1), Quiet Account (6/1), Sommerton (33/1)

This can go to SIZINGDOWNTHERHINE. A talented contender in this sphere he has finished second in both of his hunter chases so far this season and should find this to be an easier assignment. He has the benefit of top amateur Jamie Codd in the saddle and was beaten by less than a length at Fairyhouse last time out. Meanwhile Quiet Account looks a danger if bouncing back from a poor effort in a point-to-point last time, while the veteran Enniskillen is also considered.
