18/1

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Dillon Maxwell⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Broderick| OR: 109| D

10/1

Fairly useful winner at 24f in chases. Fourth of 7 in novice chase (11/1) at Tipperary (19.5f, soft) 33 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Switches from chase to hurdles. Others more persuasive.

Forecasts

Takarengo (7/2), We'llhavewan (5/1), Call The Tune (11/2), King Ferdinand (11/2), Menindee (7/1), Pure Sirloin (15/2), Summer Tide (8/1), True Destiny (8/1), Sphagnum (10/1), Pairc Na Ngael (10/1), Pakens Rock (12/1), My Design (14/1), Junior Rattler (14/1), Macgiloney (14/1), Peaches And Cream (16/1), Arabian King (18/1), Country Queen (18/1), Another Choice (20/1), Drumcliff (20/1), Killinure Lass (22/1), Good World (28/1), Fiveaftermidnight (33/1), Silvertown (33/1)

SUMMER TIDE wasn't disgraced when sixth in this race off a 4 lb higher mark last year and is appealing returned to this sphere with conditions in his favour. True Destiny and Junior Rattler are feared most in that order of preference. A couple of these would be dangerous if staging a return to form, most notably Pairc Na Ngael.
