Captain Guinness⁶⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 160

6/1

Smart chaser who looked as good, if not better than ever when third to Greaneteen in Tingle Creek at Sandown 2 months ago. Hard to imagine he'll turn the tables, though.

Form: 2F3U-13

Cash Back^h³¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: D E Mullins| T: W P Mullins| OR: 156| D

18/1

Smart chaser. 8/1, didn't need to improve to win 4-runner minor event hurdle at Clonmel (19.8f, heavy) 31 days ago, driven clear. Switches from hurdles to chase. out of his depth in this grade.

Form: 2F/FF-41

Chacun Pour Soi⁶⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| OR: 176| BF| CD

4/7

Top-class chaser who blotted his copybook somewhat when last (to Greaneteen) in Tingle Creek at Sandown when last seen in December. Should take the beating back on home soil.

Form: 11131-5

Dunvegan²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: B J Cooper| T: P A Fahy| OR: 156| D

10/1

Very smart chaser. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap chase at Fairyhouse (17f, 7/2) 28 days ago, responding well. More on his plate outside of handicap company, but he's a likeable type.

Form: 363-911

Greaneteen⁴¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Bryony Frost| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 166| D

5/1

Confirmed himself a top-class chaser with emphatic win in Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown, then couldn't live with Shishkin at Kempton subsequently. Big player in absence of that rival.

Form: 341-412

Forecasts

Chacun Pour Soi (4/7), Greaneteen (5/1), Captain Guinness (6/1), Dunvegan (10/1), Cash Back (18/1)

CHACUN POUR SOI simply wasn't himself when last in the Tingle Creek on his latest outing but he's fancied to set the record straight by beaten Greaneteen (the winner of that race) now back in Ireland after a break. Captain Guiness is the pick of the others, but the first-named pair are fully expected to fight this out.
