Off time: 16:01 | Winning time: 5m 55.6s

All For Rachel⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Richard Condon⁽⁵⁾| T: O McKiernan

12/1

Fair hurdler. 40/1, stepped up on chasing debut when seventh of 16 in beginners chase at Gowran (20f, heavy) 47 days ago. More needed.

Form: 40-8587

Gali Flight^p²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Niall Moore⁽⁷⁾| T: P Fenton

3/1

Fair hurdler. Remains a maiden after 21 NH runs. 7/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, second of 15 in beginners chase at Thurles (20.9f, soft) on debut over fences 24 days ago, bad mistake last. Has good chance with a repeat effort.

Form: 272452

Magheralin Mick¹⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: C D Maxwell| T: G P Cromwell| D

14/1

Found the test inadequate down markedly in trip when third of 6 in novice hurdle (13/2) at Wexford (16.4f, heavy) 5 months ago. Not dismissed on chase debut.

Form: 341443

Old Soul⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: R Deegan| T: Miss Liz Doyle

15/2

Winning hurdler in December who matched that form at the second attempt over fences when second of 13 in novice chase (8/1) at this course (20f, heavy) 7 weeks ago.

Form: 3-5P132

Rolly Bowley Boy^p¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: E Walsh⁽⁵⁾| T: Ciaran Murphy| BF| CD

7/2

Promising individual. 2/1, in the process of running well when departing in beginners chase at this course (16.2f, heavy) on debut over fences 16 days ago, still in front when unseated 2 out (sure to have been second at worst). Should feature.

Form: 36514F

Takarengo^p²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: I J Power| T: T Mullins| C| D

11/2

Winless since 2021 and arrives below par too, running no sort of race back in cheekpieces in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham Festival (24f, good to soft) 3 weeks ago. Attentions now turned to the larger obstacles.

Form: 726580

Teescomponentsyess^p,t⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: J S McGarvey| T: J J Hanlon| D

5/1

Bounced back to form after 3 months off when second of 11 in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Limerick (21f, heavy) 7 days ago, clear of remainder. Has failed to complete on both starts in this sphere so far but better expected here.

Form: 4R47-02

Top Line Tommy²⁷⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Philip Donovan⁽⁵⁾| T: E J O'Grady| OR: 105

50/1

Fair hurdler. 22/1, respectable fourth of 15 in maiden hurdle at Tramore (21.6f, good). Off 9 months. Switches from hurdles to chase.

Form: 503P-F4

Butterflyvespiere³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: K C Sexton| T: Peter Fahey| D

9/1

Fairly useful hurdler. 11/1, given considerate introduction to chasing after 18 months off when sixth of 8 in beginners chase at this course (20f, soft) on 5 weeks ago. Should progress.

Form: 21431-6

I Must³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Thomas Reilly⁽⁷⁾| T: P Cluskey

150/1

Poor hurdler. 66/1, possibly needed run after 4 months off when ninth of 13 in handicap hurdle at this course (24f, soft) 5 weeks ago. Percentage call is to look elsewhere on chase debut.

Form: 6P-PB69

Forecasts

Gali Flight (3/1), Rolly Bowley Boy (7/2), Teescomponentsyess (5/1), Takarengo (11/2), Old Soul (15/2), Butterflyvespiere (9/1), All For Rachel (12/1), Magheralin Mick (14/1), Top Line Tommy (50/1), I Must (150/1)

Cases can be made for several, but ROLLY BOWLEY BOY was still in front before departing late at this track last month on chasing bow so, provided he's none the worse from that spill, Ciaran Murphy's charge can make amends. Gali Flight went as close to winning as he ever has when finishing runner-up on chase debut last month, so he heads up the dangers, ahead of Teescomponentsyess and Old Soul.
