Form: 532812

Good Time Jonny^t⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: P J Carberry| T: A J Martin| OR: 111

6/4

Useful bumper winner who posted excellent third of 16 in handicap hurdle (13/2) at Listowel (20f, good) 6 days ago. Has to be taken seriously in bid for a breakthrough victory in this sphere.

Form: 64-95F3

Little Brother¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Gavin Brouder⁽⁷⁾| T: J Nash| OR: 107

66/1

6/1, last of 5 in handicap chase at Sligo (17.2f, good) 16 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Very hard to make a case for.

Forecasts

Good Time Jonny (6/4), Guiri (11/2), Friary Rock (7/1), Junior Rattler (7/1), Dollar Value (7/1), Marajman (17/2), Whatsnotoknow (10/1), Smitty Bacall (14/1), It Could Be You (14/1), Rich Belief (18/1), Fest Deiz (20/1), Little Brother (66/1)

GOOD TIME JONNY signalled he's ready to open his account when an excellent third at Listowel last week and still looks on a handy mark despite a 2 lb rise for that effort. In-form Guiri is next on the list, although Junior Rattler and Rich Belief can make their presence felt too in a competitive handicap.
