Course winner. Two wins from 6 runs last season. Below form ninth of 15 in handicap chase at Killarney (20f, good, 12/1) 4 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Others more persuasive.

10/1
Career best when winning 9-runner handicap hurdle (13/2) at this course (18.2f, heavy) 57 days ago, just holding on. Booking of Townend a plus. Another bold show likely.

One win from 27 NH runs. Twelve runs since last win in 2019. 50/1, fell in minor event chase at Limerick (18f, good) 10 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Forecasts

Shantou Warrior (7/2), Sweet Sixteen (13/2), I Sea The Moon (13/2), Ciankyle (7/1), Union Park (8/1), Fort William (8/1), Daicheadacuig (17/2), Youngnedofthehill (10/1), Fair Minded (10/1), Moonball (16/1), Summer Hill (18/1), Made In Pimlico (18/1), Match My Fire (20/1), Comporta (33/1), Our Nancy (50/1), Mac Suibhne (66/1), Rathnaleen Glory (66/1)

Verdict

Preference is for UNION PARK, who built on the promise of his previous effort when third at Punchestown in May and remains relatively low mileage. Youngnedofthehill and Shantou Warrior head the list of dangers.

  1. UNION PARK (FR)
  2. YOUNGNEDOFTHEHILL (IRE)
  3. SHANTOU WARRIOR (IRE)
