Fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles. Eighth of 10 in novice chase (22/1) at Galway (18.2f, soft) 46 days ago. He may yet get back on the up now handicapping.

Forecasts

Chatham Street Lad (85/40), Konitho (9/2), Capuccimix (9/2), Off You Go (7/1), Arthur's Quay (9/1), Shady Operator (12/1), Dakota Moirette (16/1), Arvico Bleu (16/1), Spare Brakes (16/1), Kitten Rock (20/1), Brex Drago (50/1)

OFF YOU GO got firmly back on track over fences when fourth in a Gowran novice in February and, starting out in handicaps in this sphere from a very appealing mark judged on his hurdles form, he's fancied to go well on his return. Chatham Street Lad and Arvico Bleu are others fancied to play a part.
