Fairyhouse Racecourse Ladies Handicap Chase (0-109)

Off time: 14:01 | Winning time: 5m 22.80s

Jaunty Thor^t²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Ms L O'Neill| T: G Elliott| OR: 105| BF

11/4

Distance winner who failed to land a hat-trick of wins at Bangor-On-Dee last month over hurdles but could well follow up on his last chase win at Hexham off a 7lb lower mark .

Form: 0-22115

Mtada Supreme²⁰³

Age: 13| Weight: 11-9| J: Ms K Ferris⁽⁷⁾| T: P Maher| OR: 102

10/1

Gallant veteran who has failed to finish two of his last three starts and well below par form looks set to continue in this company.

Form: 831P7P-

Danali⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Miss S Larkin⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs D A Love| OR: 100

8/1

Modest 112-rated hurdler who has left a lot to be desired in a number of chase starts since June. Plenty to prove at present.

Form: F-46U5P

Sam King^t²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Lucy Alexander| T: T M Walsh| OR: 98

8/1

Excelled himself from out of the handicap at Navan in September, but failed to confirm that improvement in a couple of dour performances at Gowran Park and Punchestown last month. Others preferred.

Form: 56U277

Ballyfinboy^t⁹

Age: 12| Weight: 11-3| J: Miss A B O'Connor⁽⁵⁾| T: J R Finn| OR: 96

8/1

Defied age and an unseat when landing a Downpatrick 2m7½f handicap chase last month off a 5lb lower mark. Well held since over hurdles and the larger obstacles and hard to see the veteran making any impact here.

Form: 54U157

The Ballyboys¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Sarah Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hackett| OR: 96

11/2

Winner of a 13-runner handicap hurdle at Cork last month but remains a five-race chase maiden and unlikely to get off the mark here.

Form: 46-4P21

Erkindale Lady¹⁵⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss J M Cook⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss M M Gannon| OR: 93| C

14/1

The win here 12-months ago remains her sole win in 11 starts over the larger obstacles. Overall record casts doubt on her ability to get competitive in this contest.

Form: 1032P-9

Redwood Boy^v1⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-10| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 89

4/1

Promising second of 12 on his last start over fences in a Sligo handicap chase in September off a 3lb lower mark. Worth a market check with first-time visor fitted.

Form: 0442S5

Night Sir⁵⁹

Age: 12| Weight: 9-10| J: Miss J Walton⁽⁷⁾| T: Ms H P Markham| OR: 75

33/1

Veteran without a win over fences in 15 starts. Looks up against it and others more convincing at this level.

Form: U603-06

Non-Runners

Analyse That¹⁹⁰

Weight: 10-3| Age: 12

T: S Aherne J: Miss S Ahern

Forecasts

Jaunty Thor (11/4), Redwood Boy (4/1), The Ballyboys (11/2), Analyse That (11/2), Danali (8/1), Sam King (8/1), Ballyfinboy (8/1), Mtada Supreme (10/1), Erkindale Lady (14/1), Night Sir (33/1)

Difficult to get away from the form of JAUNTY THOR since returning to the track in September and anything near to the profile of his runs at Perth and Hexham will see him hard to beat in this contest. The nine-year-old Redwood Boy in first-time visor could prove to be the biggest danger to the selection while Analyse That is capable of hitting the frame.
