Kedrah House Stud 'Well Chosen' Beginners Chase

Off time: 19:03 | Winning time: 6m 7.7s

Brave Out¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: D F O'Regan| T: J E Kiely

6/1

Decent hurdler who has a liking for give in the ground. Makes chasing debut today and likely to transfer all of his ability to this sphere. Top rider booking is a plus.

Form: 32-7137

Bravissimo^t¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: D J Mullins| T: W P Mullins| OR: 126

7/2

Decent hurdler that had a tongue tie on for the first time when finishing fifth of 18 in a handicap at Punchestown (2m5f, soft) latest. Will have strong claims in this if running up to his best.

Form: 342435-

Kaiser Black^t¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr R James⁽⁷⁾| T: P M J Doyle| OR: 119

11/4

Decent efforts on both chase starts to date. Disappointed over hurdles on most recent start but switches back to fences today and has the scope to do well in this sphere.

Form: 421/434

Last Encounter^b1⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Danny Mullins| T: Ms M Mullins| OR: 122

5/1

Can be a bit in and out at times and was looking booked for second when falling at Ballinrobe (2m1f, heavy) latest. Blinkers go on for the first time and could go well if jumping better.

Form: 58-527F

Macs Bach⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: J J Slevin| T: Ms M Flynn| OR: 82

100/1

Was beaten a very long way at Wexford just five days ago and is likely to be up against it once again here. Best watched for now.

Form: 5058/8-0

Returntovendor¹¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: I J McCarthy| T: J P Fahey

14/1

Struggled with the penalty last time after winning a competitive handicap hurdle at Punchestown on New Years Eve. Makes chasing debut today and hurdles form will give him a good shout.

Form: 31/001-P

Stoneford¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Flanagan| T: N Meade

5/1

Fairly useful hurdler. Makes chasing debut today and would have a little bit to find on hurdles form with one or two of these. Type to improve for larger obstacles and market check needed.

Form: 1/8-3210

Amaulino^p²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Ricky Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: C Bowe| OR: 113

14/1

Hurdles form is a bit below what a few of these achieved. Makes chasing debut today but hasn't won since 2016 and winner likely to come form elsewhere.

Form: 558875-

Ballinabearna^t1²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Phillip Enright| T: R Tyner| OR: 98| BF

25/1

Sent off a well beaten favourite for latest hurdles start at Limerick (3m, heavy). Will need to improve on first start over fences and tongue tie added for the first time today.

Form: 070916-

Tj Goodtymes³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: D J McInerney⁽⁵⁾| T: T Townend

66/1

Well beaten in several point-to-points and hunter chases so far this year and hard to see her cutting much ice against against today's opposition. Readily opposed.

Form: 2P6333

Forecasts

Kaiser Black (11/4), Bravissimo (7/2), Stoneford (5/1), Last Encounter (5/1), Brave Out (6/1), Amaulino (14/1), Returntovendor (14/1), Ballinabearna (25/1), Tj Goodtymes (66/1), Macs Bach (100/1)

Bravissimo is the obvious starting point for powerful connections as he brings some decent chase form to the table. He should go well once more. Kaiser Black is of interest back over fences and has looked a decent chaser in the making but preference is going to be for BRAVE OUT. John Kiely’s charge is a fair hurdler and has been in good form in that sphere of late. He can make a winning start over fences with Davy Russell booked.
