SANSERV Rated Novice Chase

Off time: 14:27 | Winning time: 4m 47.20s

Robinnia³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Brian Hayes| T: W P Mullins| D

11/4

Already a much better chaser than hurdler, not needing to be at best when making it 2 wins from 3 starts in a mares' novice at Listowel (20f) in September. Can do better again in this sphere.

Form: 004-1F1

Choungaya^p,t¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: P J Carberry| T: A McNamara| OR: 128

18/1

Useful hurdler. 11¼ lengths fourth of 6 to Embittered in Buck House Novices' Chase at Punchestown (18.6f, good to soft, 66/1) 10 days ago. Usual headgear mix refitted here and this less demanding.

Form: 14-0704

Call The Tune²⁹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: D J McInerney| T: B Connell| OR: 102

10/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Excellent second of 18 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (24.5f) in January, clear of the rest. May do better again now chasing but this is a tough enough assignment.

Form: 3652-

Fighting Fit¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: L P Dempsey| T: J P Dempsey

50/1

Fairly useful hurdler. 100/1, eighth of 11 in novice chase at this course (18.5f, heavy) on debut over fences 18 days ago. Feasible to think he can do better in this sphere, particularly in handicaps.

Form: 71135-8

Gevrey¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: D F O'Regan| T: G Elliott

8/1

Fairly useful hurdler. Not seen to anything like best effect when fifth of 10 in beginners chase at Fairyhouse (21f) 2 weeks ago. In very good hands and feasible to expect better moving forward.

Form: 523-425

Global Equity¹⁰⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: J J Slevin| T: J P O'Brien| C

7/2

Fairly useful winner at 19f over hurdles. 11/8, sixth of 13 in novice chase at Limerick (22.2f, good) on debut over fences 105 days ago. Should have more to offer as a chaser.

Form: 26512-6

Millen To One¹⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Jack Kennedy| T: F J Flood

15/2

Gained breakthrough success over hurdles at Leopardstown (20f) in December. 9/1, fifth of 14 in novice chase at Punchestown (20f, soft) on debut over fences 146 days ago.

Form: U3212-5

Presented Well³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: D P Holden⁽⁷⁾| T: H De Bromhead

12/1

Fairly useful winning hurdler who shaped as if retaining all his ability on back of 21 months off when third in a Listowel novice chase in September. May do better again in this discipline.

Form: 18350/3

Razzle Dazzle Love^t²⁰²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: T Gibney| C

5/1

Bumper/hurdles winner who ended last season below form over timber. Likely best watched now chasing on return.

Form: 713678-

Song Of Earth²³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Danny Mullins| T: Ms M Mullins

16/1

Bumper winner who opened hurdles account in a Gowran maiden (20.3f) in January. Good fifth on handicap bow at Navan next time but he may do better when tackling longer trips in this sphere.

Form: 496215-

Forecasts

Robinnia (11/4), Global Equity (7/2), Razzle Dazzle Love (5/1), Millen To One (15/2), Gevrey (8/1), Call The Tune (10/1), Presented Well (12/1), Song Of Earth (16/1), Choungaya (18/1), Fighting Fit (50/1)

ROBINNIA has quickly surpassed her hurdles form over fences, not needing to be at her best when making it 2 wins from 3 starts at Listowel 31 days ago. She gets the nod to continue the good work, with Gevrey, who wasn't seen to best effect last time, and Choungaya heading up the dangers in a race that looks sure to throw up plenty of winners in the coming weeks.
