28/1

First run since leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien when pulled up in handicap chase (20/1) at Punchestown (31f, good to soft) 25 days ago, struggling long way out. Switches from chase to hurdles. Has a bit to prove.

5/1

Useful hurdler. Eleven runs since last win in 2020. 8/1, fourth of 5 in minor event hurdle at Killarney (20f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Needs to back that up, and jumping is an ongoing concern.

Forecasts

Whatsnotoknow (11/8), Chinx Of Light (6/4), The Bosses Oscar (5/1), Fort Worth Texas (11/1), Don't Tell Allen (12/1), Fakir (28/1)

WHATSNOTTOKNOW and The Bosses Oscar are closely matched on form and may well fill the first two positions, with the first-named appealing as the more solid option given the doubts over the latter's jumping. Chinx of Light is also a player.
