Hooded for 1st time, below form eleventh of 20 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy, 14/1) 21 days ago. Needs to improve for the switch to fences if he's to have a say in the finish.

Forecasts

Whiskeywealth (85/40), Bonnie Kellie (5/2), Golf Marin (5/1), Joy Of Life (8/1), McGrath From Clune (11/1), Jakes Dream (12/1), Pennywell Girl (16/1), Norwigi (20/1)

Verdict

BONNIE KELLIE has hit the crossbar in handicap chases here either side of winning one at Limerick on Boxing Day and, still relatively unexosed in this sphere, she looks the safest option. Joy of Life and Golf Marin both remain open to improvement as chasers and rate the main dangers, in that order of preference. Whiskeywealth, a winner at Tramore on his latest start, is also shortlisted.

  1. Bonnie Kellie5/2
  2. Joy Of Life8/1
  3. Golf Marin5/1
