Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: P J O'Hanlon⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 96

10/3

Fair winner at 24f over hurdles. Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap chase at Down Royal (24f, soft, 14/1) 19 days ago. Threatening a bigger effort lately and this won't take much winning.

40/1

8/1

Winner in hurdle at Tipperary in May. 10/1, respectable eighth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Galway (24f, heavy) 26 days ago. Makes chase debut. Makes handicap chase debut. Worth a market check.

Forecasts

Pairc Na Ngael (3/1), Siberian Star (10/3), Sean Says (4/1), Turbo (8/1), My Friend The Wind (8/1), Well Joey (10/1), Ran Rite (12/1), Garrai Phaidin (14/1), Princely Conn (33/1), Double Windsor (40/1), Mount Colah (40/1), Sunrise Lady (50/1)

A weak handicap chase that could go the way of SIBERIAN STAR, who is well handicapped and has been threatening a revival lately. Sean Says looks well in off a mark of 104 if her latest fifth in a novice chase is taken at face value, so she's the main threat, and chasing debutant My Friend The Wind is worthy of interest if the market speaks in his favour.
