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

8/1

Nothing of note in a couple of beginners contests to date. Worth a market check on handicap debut representing a yard with a 37% win and place strike rate at this meeting in the last four years.

Holly Flight^t²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr E P O'Brien⁽⁷⁾| T: P O'Flynn| OR: 102

5/1

Has hit the frame on a couple of occasions in nine starts over the larger obstacles. Finished third of 10 in a recent hunter chase at Cork last month. More needed but not easily dismissed.

Celebrity Status⁵⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Ricky Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: C O'Dwyer| OR: 100

9/2

Runner-up at Downpatrick last August, but no further progress over fences, and needs to step up on latest fourth of 9 to Sizing Rome in handicap at Thurles when last seen in March. Tough to see where improvement is coming from to win this.

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: D J McInerney⁽³⁾| T: E Bolger| OR: 98

10/1

First time cheekpieces fitted for first time with the Flemensfirth gelding due to go up 3lb in future. Worthy of a market check from a yard who are three from 13 boasting a 54% win and place strike rate at this meeting since 2015.

Ballybrowney Walk^h³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Paul Townend| T: J J Mangan| OR: 97

9/2

Eight-rce maiden over fences appeared to had tidied up her jumping technique when finishing second of eight in a Limerick handicap chase last month. One to consider.

Whoyakodding^p³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Danny Mullins| T: G Ahern| OR: 95

14/1

Wexford hurdle winner in September has been out of sorts lately including a 44L defeat at Limerick last month. Plenty more needed on handicap chase debut.

Form: 1SF0P9-

Dundeedy Lad^p¹⁵⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Phillip Enright| T: R Tyner| OR: 85

5/1

Modest 92-rated handicap hurdler who has shown little aptitude in three previous chase starts to be considered in this company on handicap debut.

Form: P1900P-

Takemeback^t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: P C O'Connor| OR: 85

5/1

Below-par 82-rated handicap hurdler who has ran out of gas from the front on a couple of career starts over the larger obstacles. Expected to lead again and slim claims of hanging on for a place.

Forecasts

Ballybrowney Walk (9/2), Celebrity Status (9/2), Holly Flight (5/1), Dundeedy Lad (5/1), Takemeback (5/1), Cerealice (8/1), Smithscorner (8/1), Thatbeatsbanagher (10/1), Whoyakodding (14/1), Taboo (20/1)

The Alan Fleming yard boast a 37% win and place strike rate at this meeting in the last four years and their CEREALICE can defy top weight on handicap chase debut to land the spoils in this contest. The trainer has produced Bishopslough and Product Of Love to win at the meeting recently and hit the frame with Edelpour, Wonderoftheworld and As You Were 12 months ago. Ballybrowney Walk, good second at Limerick last month and Holly Flight, who will look to improve on Cork hunter chase third last month, can battle for the minor honours.
