Sani Pass^t⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 94

12/1

Fifth of 14 in novice chase (40/1) at Ballinrobe (17f, heavy) 8 days ago. Switch to handicaps in this sphere rates a plus so not one to write off for leading yard.

Form: 92878-5

Stormy Master^b¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: R Hackett| OR: 92| D

4/1

Blinkered for 1st time, career best when winning 9-runner handicap chase (3/1) at Limerick (19.6f, good to soft) 15 days ago, driven out. Can go well again with a repeat.

Form: 5574-41

Whispering Waters^t⁵⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Ricky Doyle| T: M Brassil| OR: 92| C

9/1

Course winner. One win from 3 runs last season. 9/2, clearly not 100% when pulled up quickly over 25.5f here in April but her record is patchy.

Form: 543/P1P-

Blustery^p1²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Phillip Enright| T: R Tyner| OR: 87

28/1

Eighth of 16 in novice chase (300/1) at Tipperary (23.3f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time and he will hold more chance now handicapping at least.

Form: 900P0-8

Ask Aisling^t1¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: R P Geoghegan⁽⁷⁾| T: N Lee| OR: 86

40/1

80/1, below form seventh of 14 in novice chase at Ballinrobe (17f, soft) 29 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and no surprise to see improvement now she's sent handicapping.

Form: 6960-76

Fly De Megaudais²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: B Browne⁽³⁾| T: M J McDonagh| OR: 84

6/1

6/1, career best when winning 12-runner handicap chase at Downpatrick (19.2f, good) 26 days ago by neck from Carried, responding well. Not taken lightly.

Form: 73584-1

My First Symphony^t²⁴⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr W T Cronin⁽⁷⁾| T: William Cronin| OR: 84

9/2

40/1 and blinkered for 1st time, tenth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (24f, good) when last seen in October. Needs to bounce back following a break.

Form: 044360-

Captain Cobajay^b⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Philip Donovan⁽⁷⁾| T: E Sheehy| OR: 83| C

40/1

Course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2019. Pulled up in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Limerick (19f, soft) 6 days ago, struggling 3 out. Switches from hurdles to chase. Blinkers back on.

Form: 78P-00P

Carried^p¹⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 11-3| J: Shane O'Callaghan⁽⁷⁾| T: R K Watson| OR: 83| BF

13/2

40/1, good second of 15 in handicap at Navan (13f, good to soft) 18 days ago, very much having run of race. Still, he's in good heart and no surprise to see him involved again.

Form: P442/0-2

Olive D'Haguenet^t¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: Danny Mullins| T: I Madden| OR: 83

12/1

Remains a maiden after 23 NH runs. Very good second of 16 in handicap chase (50/1) at Limerick (22.7f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Now his task is to back that up.

Form: 80/4P6-2

She's Made It⁹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-13| J: J S McGarvey| T: P Roche| OR: 93

11/2

7/1, below form fifth of 14 in handicap chase at Clonmel (20f, heavy) 90 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Not one to write off in this sphere for all she remains a maiden. Reserve 1.

Form: 4525/75-

Our Brian¹²

Age: 11| Weight: 11-8| J: H Morgan⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 88

20/1

Modest winner at 18f over hurdles. Looked rusty when eleventh of 13 in novice chase (33/1) at Downpatrick (19.2f, soft) on debut over fences 12 days ago. This should reveal more. Reserve 2.

Form: 47/56P-0

Forecasts

Stormy Master (4/1), My First Symphony (9/2), She's Made It (11/2), Back To Bataan (6/1), Fly De Megaudais (6/1), Carried (13/2), Whispering Waters (9/1), Olive D'Haguenet (12/1), Sani Pass (12/1), Runyon Rattler (16/1), Our Brian (20/1), Blustery (28/1), Ask Aisling (40/1), Captain Cobajay (40/1)

FLY DE MEGAUDAIS looked as good as ever when doubling his career tally in this sphere at Downpatrick recently, showing a dtermined attitude to hold re-opposing Carried by a neck. He can confirm those placings and come out on top again, with the latter named and Stormy Master fancied to pose the chief threats.
