Fairyhouse Membership 2020 Beginners Chase

Off time: 15:26 | Winning time: 6m 6.4s

Cherokee Bill^b1¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Flanagan| T: N Meade| OR: 115

10/1

12-race maiden, without a win in seven starts over the larger obstacles. Well held in a couple of recent starts and first time blinkers unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

Form: 378-724

Conright Boy^t²³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Donagh Meyler| T: Mrs C O'Leary| C

40/1

Winner of three of his 20 starts over hurdles but needs to improve on chasing debut in a Cork 2m4f beginners contest on yielding ground last month.

Form: 5900F-6

Diamond Turf^t²⁰⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G Elliott

9/2

Lightly-raced maiden, pulled up when weakening quickly in a Cork hurdle over 3m when last seen in April. Market likely to reveal expectations on chasing debut.

Form: 31/243P-

From Eden^b,t⁸⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott| OR: 124| C

6/1

Had been running well in defeat in four beginners chase starts since May hitting the frame on each occasion before a 28L defeat in a Tramore 2m5½f contest on handicap debut when last seen in August. Summer form puts him in the mix.

Form: 022237

Glamorgan Duke^t¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr L P Gilligan⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Gilligan

7/2

Running with credit in defeat in three starts last month including on chasing introduction in a Galway beginners contest finishing third of nine behind Battleoverdoyen late last month. Another bold show looks likely.

Form: 3FP-443

Life Isfor Living²⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: B Browne⁽⁵⁾| T: O McKiernan

40/1

Six-race maiden over hurdles looks a little flattered by his run at Limerick in December. Hard to fancy on chasing debut.

Form: 090/630-

Sil Ver Klass^t¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Phillip Enright| T: A J Martin

9/2

French import, placed in five of his 10 starts over hurdles for current connections. Pleasing third of 12 beaten 14L on chasing debut in a Galway novice chase over 2m2f last month. Repeat of that effort should see a bold bid.

Form: 422-283

The White Volcano²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: C D Maxwell| T: J Woods

8/1

Winner of two of his 13 starts over hurdles. Out of sorts on return to action at Punchestown last month and has something to find on chasing debut.

Form: 741P-40

Denham Hana^t¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Sean O'Keeffe⁽⁵⁾| T: P Nolan| D

5/1

Won over this trip when landing a Limerick maiden hurdle in March. Market likely to be the best guide on chasing debut.

Form: 92/16-3

Lady Writer³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: D G Hogan| T: D Hogan

10/1

Winner of two of her 10 starts over hurdles and not disgraced on chasing debut at Tipperary over 2m4f on yielding ground last month. Holds place claims if things fall his ways.

Form: 34114-4

Baily Gorse²³

Forecasts

Glamorgan Duke (7/2), Diamond Turf (9/2), Sil Ver Klass (9/2), Denham Hana (5/1), From Eden (6/1), The White Volcano (8/1), Cherokee Bill (10/1), Lady Writer (10/1), Baily Gorse (25/1), Life Isfor Living (40/1), Conright Boy (40/1)

The Gordon Elliott-trained DIAMOND TURF can win the closing race of the day on chasing debut. The six-year-old has has solid form on heavy ground including a 9L win in a Navan 2m bumper in January last year. The Gigginstown House Stud-owned gelding may face stiff opposition from stablemate From Eden and the Paul Nolan-trained Denham Hana, successful on similar ground conditions in a Limerick maiden hurdle in March. Glamorgan Duke and Cherokee Bill are others to take into consideration.
