Ballymacaw^b¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr D Kiely⁽⁷⁾| T: J Halley| OR: 121

5/1

Fairly useful chaser. 25/1 and blinkered for 1st time, good second of 11 in novice chase at Galway (18.2f, soft) 16 days ago, sticking to task. Back up in trip and capable of figuring.

Form: 31-4652

Fill The Tank⁵⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: M M McDonagh⁽⁷⁾| T: Aengus King

40/1

Winning pointer but hasn't shown a great deal in a pair of bumpers. May do better now chasing up in trip but needs to.

Form: 13P-58

Jack Dillinger²⁷²

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: J J Slevin| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 127

11/2

Useful hurdler who needs to brush up on his jumping if he's to ever match that form in this sphere.

Form: 622550-

Pilbara⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Brian Hayes| T: E Mullins| OR: 97| BF

7/1

Little impact in maiden chases but progressed well over hurdles last season, so should be capable of better on this return to chasing.

Form: 6U-1125

Stacks Mountain³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead

5/2

Fairly useful hurdler who ran well second time up over fences when third of 8 in novice chase at Killarney (22.8f, heavy) 34 days ago. Likely to improve further.

Form: 4930-U3

Star Max³²

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mark Walsh| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 132

13/8

Fairly useful chaser. 5/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable third of 11 in novice chase at Killarney (17f, soft) 32 days ago. Up in trip. Yard in good form.

Form: 24F-423

Forecasts

Star Max (13/8), Stacks Mountain (5/2), Aforementioned (7/2), Ballymacaw (5/1), Jack Dillinger (11/2), Pilbara (7/1), Fill The Tank (40/1), The Inbetween (50/1)

STACKS MOUTAIN ran well second time up over fences when third at Killarney last month, and with that form working out well, he looks the way to go. Star Max ought to be on the premises again, while Aforementioned would be a threat if bouncing back to the form he showed on his penultimate run.
