Remus Uomo Hunters Chase

Off time: 17:29 | Winning time: 5m 24.20s

Alpha Male³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr J J Codd| T: P Maher| D

14/1

Hunter Chase and point-to-point scorer yet to fire in three starts this season including a 141L defeat at Punchestown in the Cross Country in February. Capable of bouncing back to form with notable jockey booking

Form: 231-500

Sidetracked⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr J W Hannon⁽⁷⁾| T: G O'Loughlin| OR: 108

9/2

Won a Clonmel maiden hunter chase earlier in January when well backed before unseating rider when beaten in a Thurles hunter chase. Won a point-to-point last month, his second success between the flags. One to consider.

Form: 0-121U1

Broadway Star⁹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr J C Barry⁽⁵⁾| T: A A Howard

25/1

Gelding by Robin Des Champs out of a Supreme Leader mare. Has hit the frame in two of his three point-to-point starts but may be up against it on rules debut.

Form: 2P-3

Burning Ambition⁴¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr R James⁽⁷⁾| T: Pierce Power| OR: 146

10/11

Has been sending out mixed signals in a couple of hunter chase starts in the last 12 months despite being a solid point-to-point performer. Any market move would be worth noting.

Form: 1128-13

Change Your Story²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: P Maher

14/1

Generally well held in a number of career bumper starts despite the finishing positions but does boast strong point-to-point form. Market likely to reveal expectations on chasing introduction.

Form: 143/5-P1

Hi Murphy²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr N McParlan⁽³⁾| T: S McParlan

8/1

Difficult to find any problem with his solid point-to-point form, winning his last three starts. Best watched on first start under rules for yard without a winner in 18 starts this term.

Form: 3/R-2111

Like A Demon³⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr L J McGuinness⁽⁷⁾| T: N Slevin| OR: 100

50/1

20-race maiden under rules did win a point-to-point in December but pulled-up on return to rules racing before finishing 10th of 16 beaten 65L at Punchestown last month. Hard to fancy and plenty to prove.

Form: 70-15P0

Lisnagreggan¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr N Gault⁽⁷⁾| T: S Millar

33/1

Three from 26 point-to-point starts but without any success in five starts under rules. Will need to raise overall profile to play a role in this contest.

Form: 524F12

Winged Leader²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr B O'Neill| T: D M Christie

5/1

Winged Love gelding out of a Supreme Leader mare. Cost €24,000 as a three-year-old and has won three of his eight point-to-point starts since his debut last April. One to be interested in.

Form: 711122

Nevada Rose²¹

Age: 12| Weight: 11-0| J: Ms K Ferris⁽⁷⁾| T: S Millar| OR: 72

66/1

Getting on for five years since the mare last won a race and is hard to fancy on her recent form. Stiff test ahead.

Form: 3P4235

Forecasts

Burning Ambition (10/11), Sidetracked (9/2), Winged Leader (5/1), Hi Murphy (8/1), Alpha Male (14/1), Change Your Story (14/1), Broadway Star (25/1), Lisnagreggan (33/1), Like A Demon (50/1), Nevada Rose (66/1)

The Winged Love gelding WINGED LEADER makes an interesting debut under rules. The five-year-old has won three of his eight point-to-point starts since his debut last April and can see off the attentions of Burning Ambition, winner of a January point-to-point and the eight-year-old Change Your Story who has the assistance of Patrick Mullins.
