Basil's Boy³³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: E Walsh⁽⁵⁾| T: L P Cusack

66/1

Fairly useful hurdler at his best but seen only once since late 2020, albeit out of depth when well held over fences at Tramore (21.5f) last month. Rates best watched here.

18/1

Fairly useful hurdler who understandably shaped as if needing first run for 16 months whe eighth in 16-runner maiden chase in January. This should reveal a good deal more.

Form: 21433/8-

Fairly useful hurdler at his best but losing run has mounted up in that sphere. 8/1, fifth of 13 in novice chase at Ballinrobe (17f, good) on debut over fences 10 days ago.

Forecasts

Two Shoe Tom (4/1), Upping The Anti (5/1), Given Wings (5/1), Mighty Meggsie (11/2), Toofareastiswest (11/2), Ferdia (6/1), Ujumpthelastuwin (9/1), Mythical Hero (12/1), Silvertown (14/1), Malina Girl (16/1), Cherif De L'Isle (18/1), Groveman (25/1), Wojood (33/1), Lighthouse Rose (40/1), Peckham Springs (50/1), Alabaster (50/1), Basil's Boy (66/1)

Runner-up on his sole start in points UPPING THE ANTI needs forgiving a lesser effort on his latest start over hurdles in December. However, the 6-y-o had previously impressed when successful in that sphere at Clonmel and could be worth chancing to get back on track now his sights are set on chasing. Two Shoe Tom and Ujumpthelastuwin are a couple of others to consider, along with Toofareastiswest.
