4/1, matched previous best over fences when winning 4-runner listed chase at Wexford (23f, heavy) 16 days ago by ½ length from Joyeux Machin, digging deep. Back up in trip for handicap chase debut. One to bear in mind.

40/1, respectable fifth of 20 in handicap chase at Navan (24f, heavy) 14 days ago, barely adequate test. Stable in good form and this rates more suitable.

33/1
Built up a solid record in staying handicap chases, fourth in Irish National back in 2022. Pulled up both starts last term, well held in Cork National 13 months ago. However, record fresh is a largely positive one so not one to write off back from an absence.

Proving more consistent for a switch to front-running tactics, creditable fifth of 16 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (26.1f, good) 154 days ago, finishing tired. Returns from a break with leading yard very much amongst the winners and not discounted.

5/2, good short-head second of 14 to Sir Bob in Cork National (28f, soft) 28 days ago, collared on line. 3 lb better off with that rival for a short-head defeat and he merits consideration.

Unreliable individual. Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Pulled up in handicap chase (16/1) at Cork (28f, soft) 28 days ago won by Sir Bob, headed 3 out and folding. Made the frame on each of her 2 appearances in this race previously and handicapper has given her a chance.

Forecasts

Call The Tune (7/2), Minella Crooner (7/2), Frontal Assault (17/2), My Design (9/1), Regina Dracones (10/1), Sir Bob (10/1), Diol Ker (14/1), Glenquin Castle (14/1), Velvet Elvis (16/1), Definite Plan (18/1), Fairyhill Run (20/1), Street Value (22/1), Everglow (22/1), History Of Fashion (25/1), The Dabbler (25/1), The Little Yank (33/1), Screaming Colours (33/1), Mister Fogpatches (50/1)

Verdict

A winner on return in listed company at Wexford 16 days ago, MINELLA CROONER has often shaped like he'd be suited by this sort of test and he could be the way to go on his handicap debut. Call The Tune and Diol Ker head up the dangers, with My Design another to consider.
