Column Of Fire^p⁶⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Jordan Gainford| T: G Elliott| OR: 132

10/1

Smart hurdler but well held all 4 starts over fences. Could only consider if the market suggests a better performance is likely.

Form: F/0-8007

Egality Mans³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: D E Mullins| T: W P Mullins| BF

8/15

Maiden hurdle winner last term. Even better form over fences this term and should be hard to beat.

Form: 22/1F-F4

Itsnotinit^p1²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: P Nolan

7/1

Fairly useful hurdler. Blinkered for 1st time, creditable fourth of 21 in handicap hurdle (10/1) at Punchestown (23.5f, heavy) 21 days ago. Makes chase debut. Blinkers replaced by cheekpieces.

Form: 120-614

Sean Hogan^t¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Phillip Enright| T: M F Morris

66/1

Fairly useful chaser. Below form eighth of 18 in maiden at Gowran (20f, heavy, 66/1) 15 days ago. Up in trip.

Form: 5F1-608

Siberian Prince¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: E Walsh⁽⁵⁾| T: N Meade

Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Stepped up on his hurdle efforts when third of 18 in maiden at Gowran (20f, heavy) on debut over fences 15 days ago. Up in trip.

Form: 3833

Whirling Dervish^p,t¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Ricky Doyle| T: J F Levins

Useful hurdler but well held on his completed start over fences (unseated first last time).

Form: 15-7PPU

Forecasts

Egality Mans (8/15), Siberian Prince (4/1), Itsnotinit (7/1), Column Of Fire (10/1), Whirling Dervish (16/1), Sean Hogan (66/1)

This looks a very good opportunity for the useful EGALITY MANS to get off the mark at the third time of asking over fences. Siberian Prince made a good start to his chase career when runner-up at Gowran a fortnight ago and is the obvious one for the forecast spot.
