Arthur's Baby^t⁵⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: I J Power| T: M M McNiff| OR: 102

9/2

Fair winner at 20f over hurdles and left chasing debut form behind when fourth of 13 in maiden (16/1) at Kilbeggan (19.9f, good) 50 days ago. Solid chance.

Form: 8/93004-

Ask Charlie^t1¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: P J O'Hanlon⁽⁵⁾| T: D Harvey| OR: 102

10/1

Winning pointer who has shown a fair level of form completed starts over fences. Tongue tie fitted for handicap debut and may well do better.

Form: 1UF2-65

Na Caith Tobac^p²²

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Ben Kennedy⁽⁷⁾| T: P W Flynn| OR: 102| CD

5/4

Matched his fair hurdles form when making a successful start over fences in 14-runner maiden over C&D (soft) 22 days ago, driven out. Solid claims of following up.

Form: 0250-61

Magic Piper²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Simon Torrens| T: T Gibney| OR: 94| C

17/2

Fair winner at 21f over hurdles who probably needed the run after 10 months off when 26¾ lengths ninth of 14 to Na Caith Tobac in maiden chase at this C&D (soft) on debut over fences 22 days ago. This will reveal more.

Form: 0P/10P-9

Zagnzig¹⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 10-7| J: Shane O'Callaghan⁽⁷⁾| T: H Smyth| OR: 81| D

13/2

One win from 43 NH runs. Twenty six runs since last win in 2018 but was running creditably when falling 2 out in handicap chase at Punchestown (21f, good) 14 days ago. Claims if none the worse.

Form: 2876-4F

Nabraska³⁶

Eighth of 13 in handicap chase (20/1) at this C&D (soft) 36 days ago.

Forecasts

Na Caith Tobac (5/4), Arthur's Baby (9/2), Nabraska (9/2), Zagnzig (13/2), Magic Piper (17/2), Ask Charlie (10/1), Elite Charboniere (10/1)

NA CAITH TOBAC landed a low-quality maiden over C&D on his chasing debut 22 days ago, but this is another weak race so a reproduction of that form could be good enough. Ask Charlie and Arthur's Baby are feared most in that order.
