January Jets¹⁶³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: R M Power| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 138

6/5

Useful chaser. Latest win in chase at Leopardstown in December. 18/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Punchestown (21ft) 163 days ago. Yard in good form, so could easily bounce back after his break.

Form: 52316P-

Karl Der Grosse^t⁵¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Brian Hayes| T: W P Mullins| OR: 137

5/2

Useful chaser who posted career best when winning 8-runner novice chase at Killarney (23f, good to soft) 51 days ago. Still low mileage and can do better still for top yard.

Form: 3PP/3P-1

Macgiloney¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Donagh Meyler| T: D Hogan| OR: 130| D

13/2

Useful hurdler. 2 wins from 5 runs this season. Creditable fourth of 17 in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Listowel (24f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Much respected now switched to chasing.

Form: 4-21P14

Masterstonemason^p¹²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: C A Landers| T: F Costello| OR: 100

250/1

Fair hurdler. One win from 25 runs. Blinkers on for 1st time in this code, creditable fifth of 11 in novice chase at Clonmel (23f, good, 22/1) 121 days ago. Very hard to make a case for here though.

Form: U7-4845

Notice To Close^t¹⁶³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: R Deegan⁽⁵⁾| T: S Neville| OR: 130| C

5/1

Fairly useful chaser. Latest win in hurdle here in December. Cheekpieces on, below form seventh of 15 in handicap chase at Punchestown (21f, good to soft, 33/1) 163 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 111P37-

Vado Forte¹⁸⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott| OR: 126| D

11/1

Useful chaser. Below par fourth of 7 in handicap chase at Chepstow (16f) 6 months ago. Up in trip on first run since leaving Tom Lacey and not totally dismissed for his new handler.

Form: 6144P4-

Forecasts

January Jets (6/5), Karl Der Grosse (5/2), Notice To Close (5/1), Macgiloney (13/2), Vado Forte (11/1), Masterstonemason (250/1)

KARL DER GROSSE still has few miles on the clock and is taken to build on his recent Killarney victory and go in again at the chief expense of January Jets, who has the best form in the book but needs to shrug off a poor run when last seen on the track back in the spring. Vado Forte appeals as the pick of the remainder on his first run since joining Gordon Elliott.
