4/1

Was in winning form over further at Hexham and Downpatrick when last sighted; 133-day absence to defy in delayed hat-trick bid but clearly of interest.

Was a bumper and hurdles winner back in his youth but only makes the racecourse on fleeting occasions now and others are preferred.

Form: 08/60-89

25/1

Got rid of his rider early doors at Wexford last time (race won by Captain Cobajay) and a while now since he has offered up his best stuff.

Captain Cobajay^t¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Simon Torrens⁽⁴⁾| T: E Sheehy| OR: 89

4/1

In rude health at the moment, backing up a Wexford win with pleasing second at Tramore. Had some of these behind both times. Should be in the mix again.

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: C P McNamara⁽⁴⁾| T: M J McDonagh| OR: 83

5/1

Yet to justify the market support that has arrived for him in two handicap chases, must do better clearly but connections clearly see some ability.

Forecasts

Well Joey (4/1), Captain Cobajay (4/1), Disco Musik (5/1), Thinkitplanitdoit (6/1), Ballybrowney Walk (6/1), Fairymount Boy (7/1), Daring Decree (12/1), Allied Victory (16/1), Athloman Cottage (25/1), Afatcat (33/1)

Plenty of these are opposable, but CAPTAIN COBAJAY is in rude health, backing up his Wexford win with a good second at Tramore last time. He appeals as the likeliest winner, though Fairymount Boy wasn't far behind last time and has a chance of turning things around. The biggest danger could be Well Joey, back from a break and bidding to complete a truncated hat-trick.
