Chief's Will^p¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: A Mullen| T: A Watson| OR: 76

6/1

40/1, good second of 12 in handicap at this C&D 17 days ago, no chance with a well-handicapped rival. Same mark here so he's on the shortlist.

Taravara³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: David Probert| T: S Pearce| OR: 74| CD

9/2

15/2, didn't need to improve to win 10-runner handicap at this C&D 30 days ago, digging deep. Up just 1 lb so has to be considered.

Form: 3/46201-

4/1

First run since leaving Julie Camacho when creditable sixth of 13 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 12/1) 23 days ago. Eased further 2 lb so dangerous if building on that.

15/2

18/1

8/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f) 86 days ago. Back down in trip. Makes tapeta debut. First run for yard after leaving Matthew J. Smith and he's one to monitor in the betting.

Form: 516600-

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: Cam Hardie| T: D Shaw| OR: 62| CD

Forecasts

Flash The Dash (4/1), Taravara (9/2), Daafy (5/1), Chief's Will (6/1), They Don't Know (15/2), Cloch Nua (10/1), Motawaafeq (12/1), Milltown Star (16/1), Snag It (18/1), Star Shield (20/1), Little Jo (25/1), Chateau D'if (25/1), Sid's Annie (28/1), Copper Mountain (40/1)

This has an open feel to it but CHIEF'S WILL bumped into an unusual one for the grade when runner-up over C&D 17 days ago and he's worth supporting from the same mark. The return to 1m will suit Cloch Nua and he's a danger, along with Taravara.
