Black Samurai^t1²⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 12-2| J: Mr D O'Connor| T: S Aherne| D

7/1

Well-related 6-y-o who left his point debut effort in his wake when running out an 8-length winner at Lingstown in March. Booking of O'Connor an obvious plus on Rules debut and worth considering.

Form: 51-

Call It Time^t1¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 12-2| J: Miss M M McElligott⁽⁷⁾| T: D Deacon| OR: 102| D

40/1

Point winner who ran to a modest level in 2 starts under Rules/over fences around the turn of the year. Not disgraced between the Flags when third latest but others preferred for win purposes.

Form: 4222-33

Duckphil^t²³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 12-2| J: Miss A O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: S Millar

66/1

Maiden pointer (runner-up several times) who ran to only a modest level when fourth of 7 in a Down Royal hunter (19.6f) back in March. Will need to step up to figure here.

Form: 422/024-

Duty Calls¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 12-2| J: Mr F Maguire| T: Rodney Arthur| D

40/1

Not without promise in 2 bumpers/pair of hunter chase events last season. Successful between the Flags in October and creditable third on latest start (Oct. 24).

Form: 373F-13

Er Dancer^p1⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-2| J: Mr R James⁽⁷⁾| T: S Doyle| D

14/1

Dragon Dancer half-brother to fair hurdler Breizh Alko (19f-23f winner). Dam won 2 bumpers. Dual-winning pointer himself, runner-up last time (Nov 1). Interesting to see what the market makes of him.

Form: 4-R112

First Touch¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 12-2| J: Mr R W Barron⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss D O'Shea| D

10/1

Mahler gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful chaser (stayed 25f) Hold The Bid. Off mark in points at third attempt last time (Oct 25) and there may well be more to come.

Form: F/2-1

Getzie¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 12-2| J: Mr P C Bannon⁽⁷⁾| T: C O'Connell| D

100/1

Off mark in points at seventh attempt in March but could only run to a modest level when fifth in a maiden hunter later that month. Well beaten between the Flags subsequently.

Form: PP15-P5

Lough Derg Lyric²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 12-2| J: Mr B Lawless⁽⁷⁾| T: Gerard Lawless| D

28/1

Poor form over hurdles back in 2016/17. Lost touch some way out sole chase try in 2017 but successful between the flags since. Respectable second latest (Oct. 17) but others stronger here.

Form: 1592U-2

Pyrios³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 12-2| J: Mr B O'Neill| T: D M Christie| D

100/1

Fair hurdler who wasn't disgraced on the back of a point win when fifth in a Downpatrick hunter (23.5f) in spring 2019. Well beaten behind Duty Calls between the flags latest.

Form: 17PP-33

7/2

Fair form when fourth in a Limerick hunter in December and successful 3 times between the Flags since, winning 8-runner event latest (Oct. 17). Not ruled out.

Wrong Direction²³⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 12-2| J: Mr J Hurley⁽⁷⁾| T: S Spillane| OR: 116| BF| D

6/4

Two from 2 in points and bounced back to best when runner-up in a Thurles handicap chase (20.4f) in March. Low-mileage as a 10-y-o and expected to be in the mix on return to action.

Form: F/12P62-

Forecasts

Wrong Direction (6/4), Templebredin (7/2), Saint Benedict (7/1), Black Samurai (7/1), First Touch (10/1), Super Citizen (12/1), Er Dancer (14/1), Heydour (25/1), Lough Derg Lyric (28/1), Call It Time (40/1), Duty Calls (40/1), Not Fou Sale (40/1), Three Loud Knocks (50/1), Michael's Pick (50/1), Duckphil (66/1), Getzie (100/1), Pyrios (100/1)

BLACK SAMURAI is a well-related individual who left his debut effort in points in his wake when running out an 8-length winner in March. Partnered by Derek O'Connor, better still can be expected from him in hunters and he earns the vote. Wrong Direction, Saint Benedict and Heydour head up the dangers.
