Treasure Chest^p,t³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: J J Slevin| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 113| D

4/1

Stable first string. Won a handicap chase at Clonmel last time out (second horse has won since). Winning hurdler and a half-brother to five winners. Appreciates decent ground and no reason to see why he can't score again.

Form: 1685P-1

Inca Gold²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: J S McGarvey| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 111| D

Second-string for trainer. Now tries handicaps after three runs over fences, that could well bring about improvement. Winner of a maiden hurdle in November. Half-brother to two winners including decent hurdler Guard Of Honour.

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: Ricky Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: J Nash| OR: 110| D

16/1

Dual purpose performer. Winner over hurdles and on the AW. Yet to score over fences but has several decent placed efforts. Consistent sort who could well run into the placings.

Form: 354-826

Miles To Memphis^p1,t²⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-3| J: L P Dempsey| T: Mrs D Foster| OR: 109| D

15/2

Wears first time cheekpieces and tongue-tie. Dual purpose horse who's small yard has been amongst the winners lately. Hasn't been in the best of form but first time headgear could bring about improvement.

Form: 004-007

Roachdale House^b¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: P Merrigan| T: P W Flynn| OR: 109| D

10/1

Winning hurdler having his fourth run over fences; third at Perth last time out in a handicap chase. Cannot completely rule out but may find a few too good.

Form: 6-045U3

Little Haarth^t⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: Paul Townend| T: D McDonogh| OR: 105| D

3/1

Finished third again at Wexford last week, over 2m4f; drops back to 2m here. Top jockey booking takes the eye. Impossible to rule out but most definitely needs to step up.

Form: 0-56333

Age: 11| Weight: 10-7| J: Danny Mullins| T: S J Mahon| OR: 99| D

50/1

20/1

Winner of a point-to-point over 3m in December. Yet to show much in five starts under Rules. Has too much to find here to recommend.

Forecasts

Little Haarth (3/1), One In All In (7/2), Treasure Chest (4/1), Inca Gold (6/1), Just A Normal Day (7/1), Miles To Memphis (15/2), Roachdale House (10/1), Billy's Angel (12/1), My Manekineko (16/1), Ask Harry (20/1), Afatcat (50/1)

TREASURE CHEST has everything in his favour to win again after his victory at Clonmel. To score here, would be a winning come-back ride for his jockey, after injury. Stablemate Inca Gold could well improve on his first run in a handicap chase. The jockey booking on Little Haarth takes the eye and he's impossible to put a line through on this drop back to 2m.
