Brace Yourself¹⁹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Sean Flanagan| T: N Meade

1/1

Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. Seventh of 9 in minor event hurdle (13/2) at Thurles (22.4f, soft) 6 months ago. Twice raced over fences and shown promise so not ruled out on his return.

Form: 21/7F67-

Cuneo^p²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott

10/3

Useful winner at 24f over hurdles. 10/3, third of 9 in novice chase at Ballinrobe (23f, good to soft) 27 days ago on final run for Henry De Bromhead. Much respected for new yard.

Form: 0700-03

Fill The Tank¹⁰

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

20/1

Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Fourth of 6 in novice chase at Listowel (22f, soft, 40/1) on debut over fences 10 days ago. Lots more needed here.

Form: 13P-584

Mister Fogpatches²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: B J Cooper| T: P A Fahy| BF

11/4

Fairly useful hurdler. Creditable second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (23.4f, soft) 24 days ago. Goes over fences now so worth considering.

Form: 577-232

Smitty Bacall⁴³¹

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Ian Power| T: J R Barry| CD

16/1

Fairly useful winner at 22f over hurdles. Not seen out since only ninth of 17 in novice chase (16/1) at Galway (18.2f) 14 months ago. Fitness clearly a big concern after his long absence.

Form: 1P5/529-

Forecasts

Brace Yourself (1/1), Morosini (5/2), Mister Fogpatches (11/4), Cuneo (10/3), Foxy Jacks (4/1), Smitty Bacall (16/1), Fill The Tank (20/1), Shantou Sisu (25/1), Espion Du Chenet (33/1), Pay The Fine (33/1), The Inbetween (66/1)

MOROSINI quickly made up into a useful hurdler last season so is taken to make a winning start over fences at the chief expense of fellow chasing debutant Foxy Jacks who also appeals as a good prospect now sent over fences. Cuneo is preferred most of those with experience on his debut for Gordon Elliott.
