Form: 1-

Jack Thunder¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr R W Barron⁽⁷⁾| T: P M J Doyle

12/1

Masterofthehorse gelding out of a Distinctly North mare. Running up in a 3m point-to-point last month on his first completion in four starts. More needed in this company.

33/1

Gelding by Fairly Ransom out of a Darney mare. Has hit the frame on just one occasion in seven point-to-point starts. Not in the form required to play a part here.

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: D Allen⁽⁷⁾| T: T O'Brien

16/1

Gelding by Multiplex out of a Desert Sun mare. Half-sister to winners Calamintha and Son Of Flicka. May find this a tough assignment looking at form in point-to-point contests.

20/1

Craigsteel gelding out of an Accordion mare. Sister to Lasse Viern winner of chase contests between 2m4f and 2m6f. Others look more appealing an the balance of recent point-to-point starts.

Form: 5/2P32U-

The Brass Man¹⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: Ms M Mullins

1/1

Gelding by Milan out of a Supreme Leader mare. Brother to bumper winner The Greatest Reward. Third of 16 in a December point-to-point and likely more to come for respected trainer/jockey combination.

Form: 3

The Secret One^t¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr J W Hannon⁽⁷⁾| T: D Duggan

20/1

Maiden hurdle/bumper efforts last winter nothing to write home about, and no marked improvement since in a number of poor point-to-point efforts. Needs to improve significantly.

Form: PP07/P4-

Tico Times^t1¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss C F MacMahon⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs G O'Connor

33/1

Arcadio gelding out of a Bienamado mare. Has completed only two of his last six point-to-point starts. Has shown little aptitude in previous starts to be considered.

Form: P/P2PP3-

Top Man¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr S Cavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: C W J Farrell

11/2

Gelding by Milan out of a Beneficial gelding. Cost €30,000 as a three-year-old. Won on his third point-to-point start last month but tackles much sterner opposition here.

Forecasts

The Brass Man (1/1), Doyen Dancer (5/2), Groody Rover (5/2), Top Man (11/2), Banner Rebel (6/1), Carrigmoorna Pine (7/1), Jack Thunder (12/1), Multispice (16/1), The Secret One (20/1), The Bonny Boy (20/1), Tico Times (33/1), Laffan Jim (33/1)

THE BRASS MAN is taken to land the closing race on the card for trainer Mags Mullins and jockey Patrick Mullins. The Milan gelding can build on a third of 16 in a December point-to-point and can hold off the attentions of Groody Rover, Banner Rebel and Carrigmoorna Pine, the mount of Derek O'Connor.
