Useful chaser. Latest win in chase at Fairyhouse in April. Good second again since but Gin On Lime had too much for him when the pair clashed at Wexford early last month.

Form: 321-222

Gin On Lime^t³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead

1/4

Useful chaser who goes in search of a hat-trick after wins at Killarney and Wexford this summer. Beat Star Max by 8 lengths at latter track and it's tough to see past her.

Form: 43/24-11

Forecasts

Gin On Lime (1/4), Star Max (4/1), Samurai Cracker (16/1), Zoffalee (40/1), Summer Hill (50/1)

GIN ON LIME had 8 lengths to spare over Star Max when the pair clashed at Wexford early last month and can prove too strong for that rival again and complete a hat-trick.
