Placed off a mark of 106 over hurdles at Thurles on his penultimate outing and was a winner at Naas last month. Interesting to see how he fares on chase debut.

Successful over hurdles at Navan (2m6f, soft) in December and placed in that sphere since. Drop in trip not certain to suit on first outing over fences.

Maiden after 11 starts and failed to complete in two starts over fences earlier this season. Placed over hurdles since but probably best watched in this contest.

Maiden hurdle winner and placed in handicap contests on two of his last three starts. Stable in good form at present (3/8) and one for the shortlist now switched to chasing.

9/4
Placed on each of his last three starts over fences including over 2m4f here on heavy ground last time out. Likely to play a leading role as he seeks a first victory at the 12th time of asking.

Failed to complete in four point-to-point's and has finished well beaten on all four starts over hurdles. Others make more appeal on chase debut.

Hurdles winner on good-to-yielding ground here in June and placed in novice company in that sphere subsequently. Still held chances when falling at Leopardstown on chase debut earlier this month and is one for the shortlist today.

Forecasts

Veneziano Springs (9/4), Rooster Byron (11/4), Fintara (3/1), Dawn In The Park (6/1), Burning Issues (12/1), Mister Butler (14/1), Dylrow (14/1), Glenabo Bridge (16/1), Flamingo Lane (50/1), Sierra Law (50/1), Glenrua (66/1), Rudy Catrail (80/1)

Verdict

DAWN IN THE PARK ran well prior to falling on chase debut earlier this month and having shown a liking for this venue over hurdles she can get off the mark at the second time of asking in this beginners chase. Veneziano Springs brings some decent form into this contest and he can finish second while Rooster Byron can claim third on today's chasing debut.
  1. Dawn In The Park
  2. Veneziano Springs
  3. Rooster Byron
