Tuskar Handicap Chase (0-109)

Off time: 17:20 | Winning time: 6m 42.10s

Carlitos Bay^b,t²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Darragh O'Keeffe⁽⁷⁾| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 108

8/1

11-race maiden over the larger obstacles and showing unreliable form in a number of starts around the turn of the year. Capable of hitting the frame but not the most trustworthy of sorts.

Form: F2P2P-8

Double Windsor^b²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Sean Flanagan| T: D M O'Brien| OR: 105| BF| CD

5/1

C&D winner here in April off a 6lb lower mark before suffering a 7¼L reversal at Tramore over 2m6f on good ground last month when a mistake at the last cost the Windsor Knot gelding dearly. Enters calculations.

Form: 04731-3

Myrons²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: James J Doyle| T: P M J Doyle| OR: 104

7/2

Solid and consistent sort in the point-to-point and Hunter chase disciplines, winning at the fourth time of asking over the larger obstacles at Tramore last month. Leading player on handicap chase debut.

Form: 12334-1

Toosey^t¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: C P McNamara⁽⁷⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 100

7/1

Winner of two of his starts over the larger obstacles but has produced a number of laboured efforts since returning to action at Wincanton in April. Looks a tall order on recent form.

Form: 1273P-7

Churchtown Glen²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: D J McInerney⁽³⁾| T: M Winters| OR: 97| C

13/8

Running well in defeat over hurdles recently and his third of 16 over C&D finishing 7L behind Double Windsor in April put the Getaway gelding in the mix.

Form: 06783-3

Cap'n^p1,t²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Ricky Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: P W Flynn| OR: 91

33/1

Winner on chasing debut over 12 months ago for trainer Claire Dyson but has shown very little since. First time cheekpieces fitted but needs vast improvement to be involved at the business end of proceedings.

Form: 1/977P-P

Ilsnepasserontpas^t⁵⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: A W Short⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 85

25/1

Has been struggling in a number of chase starts since December failing to finish in three of her four starts. Needs to bounce back in a big way to have a say in the finish.

Form: 78P4UP-

Goldmineinthesky²⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-1| J: P E Corbett| T: W Ross| OR: 84

12/1

Dual point-to-point winner who landed the spoils in a Fairyhouse Hunter chase over two years ago. Lightly raced since and pulled up on return to the track at Downpatrick last month. Left with something to prove.

Form: 39832/P

Fergiethelegend^b¹¹⁹

Age: 13| Weight: 9-13| J: J M Moore| T: J G Carr| OR: 82| CD

10/1

C&D winner a little over 12 months ago off a 3lb lower mark. Running well in defeat around the turn of the year and more than capable of hitting the frame.

Form: 773337-

Forecasts

Churchtown Glen (13/8), Myrons (7/2), Double Windsor (5/1), Toosey (7/1), Carlitos Bay (8/1), Fergiethelegend (10/1), Goldmineinthesky (12/1), Ilsnepasserontpas (25/1), Cap'n (33/1)

The Stowaway gelding MYRONS can follow up on his win in a Tramore Hunter chase last month by landing the spoils here on handicap debut. The six-year-old can see off the attentions of C&D winners Double Windsor and Fergiethelegend who both have conditions back in their favour here. Toosey from Champion hurdle winning yard of Gavin Cromwell and Churchtown Glen are worthy of consideration and should not be easily dismissed.
