Off time: 15:20 | Winning time: 6m 27.90s

Big Robin^b1,t⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Dillon Maxwell⁽⁷⁾| T: A McNamara| OR: 102| D

16/1

Formerly with Nicky Henderson where she showed fair form but totally out of sorts since joining current yard and first time blinkers will need to transform.

Form: 34-0007

Doldido⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: J S McGarvey| T: M Winters| OR: 102

4/1

The subject of support at Clonmel last week but found the drop to 2m against. Return to further today should be in his favour and interesting to see if money comes again.

Form: 0-75U66

Nellie Pledge⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr L P Gilligan⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Gilligan| OR: 102| D

10/1

Impossible task in a Grade 3 last time and this far more realistic. Plenty of form over hurdles last term and may have got in lightly for this chasing debut over the larger obstacles.

Form: 153-848

Duke Cass^t²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr J C Barry⁽⁵⁾| T: K Thornton| OR: 101

14/1

Fair hurdler back in the day but has generally struggled over fences and would like to see more before supporting.

Form: 508990

Cap'n⁴²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Paul Townend| T: P W Flynn| OR: 95

6/1

Sprang a huge shock when beating sole rival over 2m at Ludlow last season. Usually races over much shorter than this but gave hope of his stamina lasting when encouraging seventh of 23 over hurdles last time.

Form: 3541-97

Milanesque¹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: P D Kennedy| T: P E Collins| OR: 92| D

9/2

Chance on his second at Limerick nearly a year ago but hasn't fired since switch in stables and seems best watched for now.

Form: 72P-575

Dawn Light Cave^p²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Danny Mullins| T: D Cullen| OR: 91| D

10/1

Alternated between fences and hurdles this term but with no real success and hard to fancy on current form.

Form: 078P07

Coolnagorna Giggs^b,t²⁴

Age: 13| Weight: 10-9| J: Sarah Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: P A Fahy| OR: 85| D

10/1

Veteran who has been running respectably in Point-to-points but struggling under rules of late and not easy to see him bouncing back here.

Form: P36338

Fergiethelegend^v²⁸

Age: 13| Weight: 10-7| J: C A Landers⁽⁵⁾| T: J G Carr| OR: 83| D

5/2

Still capable enough despite advancing years and first time visor perked him up when third under front running tactics on latest. A repeat effort would see him in the mix.

Form: 240773

Forecasts

Fergiethelegend (5/2), Doldido (4/1), Milanesque (9/2), Cap'n (6/1), Nellie Pledge (10/1), Coolnagorna Giggs (10/1), Dawn Light Cave (10/1), Duke Cass (14/1), Big Robin (16/1)

A weak contest and a chance is taken on NELLIE PLEDGE taking advantage of this more realistic task. Cap'n isn't easy to assess but if staying could pose a threat while Fergiethelegend is still capable at the age of 13 and could hit the frame.
