3/1

Formerly a useful hurdler and came to chasing late in the day but took pretty well to it when second of 14 at Wexford a fortnight ago. Capable of better switched to a handicap with cheekpieces back on.

3/1

Cheekpieces worked the oracle when off the mark over hurdles at Wexford in May. Excellent fourth next time but she took a backward step at Downpatrick 18 days ago. Switched to fences by her top stable.

Form: 322-140

15/8

Placed in Irish point and has made the frame in three of his four runs over hurdles. Off 12 months before beating only one at Taunton on chase debut but shaped with a little more promise under an aggressive ride at Musselburgh in January. Off again since.

Forecasts

Enemenemynemo (15/8), Pearl Of The West (3/1), Fruit Blossom (3/1), Mulberry Hill (3/1), Champ De Gane (10/3)

MULBERRY HILL would probably have finished second with a clear round on chase debut in May and having shaped pretty well back over timber since, she's worth another chance returned to fences. Pearl of The West and Champ de Gane head the opposition.
