Peacocks Secret^b³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: B Browne⁽²⁾| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 116| D

3/1

Followed his first win over fences at Wexford (2m4f) with a novices handicap win at Naas over the same distance. Upped 6lb for that and still going well next when taking a crashing fall at the seventh. Capable if no ill effects from that fall.

I'm An Izz Wizz²⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 11-7| J: A W Short| T: L Lennon| OR: 111| D

7/1

Three-time chase winner but last of them back in 2017. Nine races this season rarely suggested next win is imminent and others make more appeal overall.

Form: 948585

Dundrum Lad⁵⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr L P Gilligan⁽⁴⁾| T: Ms M Mullins| OR: 110| D

5/1

Decent record in 2016 and 2017 but no wins since then and two runs this season seen him a remote seventh followed by pulling up latest before three out. Makes little appeal at present.

Form: 14P-67P

Oscar Lantern^p¹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: R P Treacy| T: E McNamara| OR: 108| C

4/1

Moderate strike rate overall but arrives after sound efforts finishing fourth and third respectively and received 1lb back for each. Likely in the mix here but still vulnerable to less exposed types.

Form: 4P-7P43

Take The Cash^p¹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: Dillon Maxwell⁽⁴⁾| T: A McNamara| OR: 106| D

5/1

Kilbeggan winner in April proceeded by fifth here and fourth at Limerick. Handicap looks high enough based on fifth here so likely again find a couple better treated.

Form: 352-154

Well Tom^t¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: D P Holden⁽⁴⁾| T: Aengus King| OR: 101

4/1

2m6f Galway winner in October unseated and fell in next two. Completed last three however and Naas second two starts back would offer every chance now back up in trip. Bad error here latest costly but claims with a clear round.

Forecasts

Peacocks Secret (3/1), Oscar Lantern (4/1), Well Tom (4/1), Dundrum Lad (5/1), Take The Cash (5/1), Market's Field (11/2), I'm An Izz Wizz (7/1)

It is a bit of a head scratcher as to why exactly MARKET'S FIELD hasn't raced over fences since his win in 2017 but that aside Enda Bolger's charge makes plenty of appeal back over the larger obstacles especially on the back of such an encouraging hurdles run lately. Peacocks Secret's hat-trick bid ended with a fall last time out but if over that he brings very strong claims to the table. Well Tom is capable but jumping is often his Achilles heel.
