Emly Handicap Chase (0-102)

Off time: 16:02 | Winning time: 6m 19.30s

Kilbrew Gold^t²¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: H Morgan⁽⁷⁾| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 102

20/1

Lightly-raced in the last couple of years. Five-race maiden over the larger obstacles, pulled up on his two latest starts at Fairyhouse and Punchestown in November. Difficult to see where improvement is coming from.

Form: 03P/0PP-

October Revolution²⁴⁸

Age: 12| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr D T McGrath⁽⁷⁾| T: D J McGrath| OR: 102| D

9/1

20-race veteran an 8L chase winner over 3m½f at Roscommon in August. Pulled up when last seen in a Wexford 3m handicap hurdle in November. Tough ask and others preferred.

Form: 87/139P-

My Oakclahome³⁷⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: J J Slevin| T: D M O'Brien| OR: 98| D

4/1

Winning point-to-point runner who landed a Downpatrick hunter chase in May last year. Ran with bags of promise in a 3m1½f handicap chase at Wexford when last seen 12 months ago. Bold bid expected if fully tuned up on return.

Form: 412/123-

The Trigger⁹⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-10| J: Sean Flanagan| T: R McNally| OR: 98| D

11/2

Distance winner who continued to run well in defeat in a number of starts over fences between January and March this year. One for any shortlist.

Cappuccino Man^t¹⁰¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: B Browne⁽⁵⁾| T: O McKiernan| OR: 97

12/1

99-rated handicap hurdler who is yet to hit the frame in three starts over the larger obstacles. Needs a sizable improvement to mix it here.

Form: 170880-

Give Him Time^p²⁹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G Elliott| OR: 91| BF

7/1

Three-race maiden over fences who failed to make a mark for trainer Nick Gifford. Market likely to be the best guide to new connections expectations on stable debut.

Form: P32368/

Daring Decree^h,t²⁵¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Simon Torrens⁽⁷⁾| T: N Lee| OR: 89

18/1

Without a win in 17 career starts, still looking for a breakthrough success in six starts over fences. Decent effort on latest chase start in November but more needed in this contest.

Form: U65P20-

Ballymac Boy¹¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Danny Mullins| T: Ms M Mullins| OR: 88

14/1

Yet to hit the frame in seven career starts including four dour efforts over the larger obstacles since making his chasing debut 12 months ago. Looks up against it.

Form: 098770-

Cadawill^b¹²⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean O'Keeffe⁽⁵⁾| T: R Sweeney| OR: 88| C

25/1

Course winner that has also won over a similar trip. Nothing of note over hurdles or fences in the last 12 months, failing to complete in two of his last four starts. Hard to fancy.

Form: P0/P47P-

My First Symphony^t¹⁷³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Gary Noonan⁽⁷⁾| T: Patrick Cronin| OR: 88

50/1

Beaten a long way on chasing debut at Cork before a similar dismal effort beaten over 130L at Thurles when last seen in January. Others more compelling.

Form: 22P009-

Shotgun Sally⁹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: G Ahern| OR: 86

18/1

Point-to-point winner on soft-to-heavy ground two years ago but only limited signs of ability in starts under rules for Oliver Greenall and on stable debut at Clonmel in March for current connections.

Form: 808P/P5-

Attalco³⁵⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-11| J: L P Dempsey| T: I Madden| OR: 85

33/1

Signs of potential improvement in a number of starts over fences at Wexford and Limerick when last seen on course 12 months ago. Not a forlorn hope but others still more convincing.

Form: P/PP843-

Cantkidakidder^p³²⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-7| J: Donagh Meyler| T: N Dooly| OR: 81

22/1

Entering the veteran stages of his career and still looking for a first success in eight chase starts. Off the boil in three starts when last seen 12 months ago and hard to construct much of a case for the gelding.

Form: 005789-

Sanibel Island¹¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: K J Brouder| T: S J Mahon| OR: 91

8/1

First Reserve: Yet to hit the frame in 17 chase starts so far. Beaten 33L on latest start at Clonmel in March. Plenty to prove looking at exposed form.

Forecasts

My Oakclahome (4/1), The Trigger (11/2), Give Him Time (7/1), Nomanbehind (7/1), Sanibel Island (8/1), October Revolution (9/1), Kilderry Prince (11/1), Cappuccino Man (12/1), Ballymac Boy (14/1), Shotgun Sally (18/1), Daring Decree (18/1), Kilbrew Gold (20/1), Cantkidakidder (22/1), Cadawill (25/1), Attalco (33/1), The Broom Squire (33/1), My First Symphony (50/1)

Despite his advancing years, the Ronan McNally-trained THE TRIGGER can win for the third time over the larger obstacles on his 11th start. The 11-year-olds efforts at Downpatrick and Clonmel in March have not gone unnoticed with the Beneficial gelding looking primed for a bold bid on return to action. Distance winner, My Oakclahome, the Gavin Cromwell-trained, Nomanbehind and Give Him Time on debut for trainer Gordon Elliott can supply suitable opposition.
