Irish Stallion Farms EBF Beginners Chase

Off time: 16:36 | Winning time: 4m 28.9s

Aint Dunne Yet⁴⁸²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Flanagan| T: N Meade

7/2

120-rated novice hurdler who has switched to chasing this term running well in defeat on debut at Galway in September. Well held in a couple of starts in October but looks to be one of the more likely types here.

Form: 613/243-

Dakota Moirette^p²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 128

1/2

Without a win in five starts over the larger obstacles but ran well in defeat earlier this month in a Leopardstown handicap finishing second of 14 beaten ½L. Holds Grand Annual and Close Brothers handicap chase entries and well fancied here.

Form: 7-8U432

Global Racing¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: G N Fox| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 106| BF

12/1

Modest 95-rated handicap hurdler, usually seen running over longer trips than this. Best watched on chasing debut unless any market move suggest otherwise.

Form: 670134

Graineyhill¹⁶¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G Elliott| C

12/1

Pulled up at Bellewstown before half-way when something clearly amiss but finished 57L adrift of the winner next time out in September in a Listowel handicap hurdle. Well held in sole chase start in last July and others preferred.

Form: 9-531P0

Last Garrison^t¹¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: P D Kennedy| T: M M McNiff

66/1

Tailed off when eventually pulled up on chasing debut in a Wexford contest when last seen in October. Plenty to prove in this contest

Form: 0/30-07P

Turbo^h¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Phillip Enright| T: J R Finn| D

12/1

Left a moderate fourth on chasing debut in a Thurles beginners contest earlier this month finishing 31L behind the winner, Ex Patriot. Open to improvement and one to monitor in the market.

Form: 124644

Payngo⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: T N Brett⁽⁷⁾| T: Ms M Mullins

25/1

Generally a poor hurdler who made no impression after three out on chasing debut at Clonmel earlier this month eventually beaten 75L. Hard to place any faith in.

Form: 18538-9

Forecasts

Dakota Moirette (1/2), Aint Dunne Yet (7/2), Graineyhill (12/1), Global Racing (12/1), Turbo (12/1), Payngo (25/1), Last Garrison (66/1)

The Gordon Elliott stable has a 30% strike rate at this meeting in the last four years and his DAKOTA MOIRETTE can improve on stablemate Veinard's place in this contest 12 months ago. The six-year-old can improve on a promising second of 14 in a Leopardstown handicap chase earlier this month. Stablemate Graineyhill and Noel Meade's Aint Dunne Yet can follow the selection home.
