Soul Kaliber^p,t²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 109

12/1

12-race maiden who travels strongly in his races but who finds little when pressure is applied. Unlikely to improve at this stage of the season.

Form: 4U646P

Mindsmadeup²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr L P Gilligan⁽⁷⁾| T: J G Sheehan| OR: 108

7/2

Has produced two solid handicap chase performances in February and March when running Spare Brakes and Luckyinmilan close. Able claimer in the plate a positive.

Form: 488632

Bellgrove¹⁶¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-10| J: D N Russell| T: P M Cloke| OR: 107| D

8/1

Distance winner who is better than his last run when pulled up after two out in a Cork handicap chase when last seen in November. Gets on well with the jockey and market likely to be best guide to chances.

Form: 02522P

I Knew Well^t²³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Mark Walsh| T: T J Taaffe| OR: 107| D

12/1

Distance winner pulled-up on his first start for a year when tailed off before three out. Sure to improve on that run but performance will be taken on trust.

Form: 0315P-P

Billy De Kid^t¹⁸⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: K J Brouder⁽⁷⁾| T: T Cooper| OR: 104

10/1

No extra last time out over 2m2f in a Thurles handicap chase weakening to finish eighth of 16 following a win in September at Clonmel. Off the track a while and may need the run on return.

Form: 745018

All The Chimneys^b²³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: T Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: W J Austin| OR: 100| D

5/1

Distance winner who is a live contender if dismissing his last run at Navan last month when disappointing finishing fifth of 10. Not easy to discount.

Form: 947325

Burning Issues^b²⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-3| J: J P O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 100

12/1

Was leading five out when making a mistake and unseating rider at Wexford on stable debut on a return to chasing where he is without a win in nine starts.

Form: 56807U

Joxer^p1¹³

Age: 11| Weight: 11-3| J: R P Treacy⁽⁵⁾| T: W Harney| OR: 100| D

12/1

Has produced a number of laboured efforts since the turn of the year including a 38L defeat last time out and first-time cheekpieces unlikely to bring about any improvement.

Form: 5-69645

Absainte^t¹²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: A E Lynch| T: A J Martin| OR: 90

12/1

Point-to-point winner on soft-to-heavy ground in October and pulled up in a hunter chase subsequently. Well held in two beginners chases and others make more appeal.

Form: P21P06

Analyse That^p¹⁷

Age: 12| Weight: 10-0| J: Miss S Ahern⁽⁷⁾| T: S Aherne| OR: 83| D

4/1

Winner last time out over hurdles but remains an 11-race maiden over the larger obstacles. Plenty to find back chasing but not easy to discount.

Form: PP1441

Forecasts

Mindsmadeup (7/2), Analyse That (4/1), All The Chimneys (5/1), Bellgrove (8/1), Billy De Kid (10/1), Joxer (12/1), Soul Kaliber (12/1), I Knew Well (12/1), Burning Issues (12/1), Absainte (12/1)

Could be a falsely run contest in the early stages of the race with Bellgrove, Burning Issues and possibly Soul Kaliber vying for the lead. Mindsmadeup and Analyze That act on the ground but both are still without a win over the larger obstacles, while ALL THE CHIMNEYS has been pretty solid since the turn of the year and can land the spoils here now back to 2m.
