Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Kieren Buckley⁽²⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 108

Crazywork De Vassy^b,t¹⁶

50/1

First run since leaving Noel Glynn when 7/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Wexford (20f, soft) 16 days ago. Tongue strap back on and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: U/2213-P

22/1

33/1, creditable sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (20.4f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase and likely to find a few too good once more.

9/1

Improved to win 13-runner handicap chase (16/1) at Wexford (25.3f, good to soft) 39 days ago, all out. 5 lb rise tolerable and it would be no surprise to see this 8-y-o involved in the finish.

Forecasts

Mica Malpic (10/3), I'm Not Alone (6/1), Malina Girl (6/1), Leac An Scail Lady (7/1), Secret Cargo (9/1), Buttons And Bows (11/1), Costalita (12/1), Father Jed (12/1), Avec Espoir (16/1), Think Positive (18/1), Bolbec (22/1), Brandy Harbour (25/1), Force Of Forces (33/1), Crazywork De Vassy (50/1)

MICA MALPIC opened his chase account at LImerick in May and would've doubled his tally in this sphere had he not unseated rider at the final fence. He's gone up for 4 lb that, but that's fair enough and he'll prove a tough nut to crack granted a clean round of jumping. Leac An Scail Lady wasn't knocked about at Wexford recently and she remains capable of better as a chaser, She is second choice ahead of Malina Girl and Secret Cargo.
