Fairly useful chaser. 5/1, showed promise under quite a considerate ride when third of 9 in minor event chase at this C&D (heavy) on debut over fences 14 days ago, not knocked about. Should improve.

Promising sort. Career best when comfortably winning 7-runner novice chase (5/2) at Thurles (20.6f, good to soft) on debut over fences 45 days ago. Should progress.

150/1
Modest chaser. Remains a maiden after 22 NH runs. Good third of 12 in handicap chase (40/1) at Punchestown (19.6f, good to soft) 39 days ago. Out of her depth here.

Forecasts

Western Victory (9/4), Mount Ida (5/2), Scarlet And Dove (11/4), Sapphire Lady (11/4), Jeremys Flame (11/2), Heaven Help Us (15/2), Vic's Little Miss (150/1)

Verdict

SAPPHIRE LADY made the perfect start to her chasing career after 18 months off when comfortably making all at Thurles. She looks a force to be reckoned with in these sort of races and can double her tally here. Western Victory will look to put her chasing experience to good use but may have to settle for silver, ahead of Mount Ida, who caught the eye under a considerate ride a fortnight ago.

  1. SAPPHIRE LADY (IRE)
  2. WESTERN VICTORY (IRE)
  3. MOUNT IDA (IRE)
