Fakiera^b,t²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Ricky Doyle| T: E Griffin| OR: 128

50/1

Fair chaser. Fifteen runs since last win in 2020. 18/1, first run since leaving Gordon Elliott when bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap chase at Navan (20.4f, heavy) 22 days ago, inadequate test. More exposed than most and is difficult to fancy.

Form: 420PP-6

Hunt Museum¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: J S McGarvey| T: F J Flood

200/1

Modest hurdler. 250/1, fifth of 6 in novice chase at this course (23.7f, heavy) 19 days ago. Impossible to make a case for.

Form: 07-89F5

Klarc Kent³⁴⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins

25/1

Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Fairly useful winner at 19f in bumpers but well beaten both starts over hurdles last year. Something to prove sent chasing after 11 months off.

Form: 341/P6-

Monty's Star²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead| D

9/4

Lightly-raced but useful winner over hurdles made an encouraging start over fences when third of 13 in novice chase at Fairyhouse (21.5f, soft) on debut over fences 29 days ago. Evenly matched with Three Card Brag on that effort and he should have more to offer.

Form: 24/21P-3

Three Card Brag²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| BF

4/11

Useful hurdler boasts the physique for chasing and showed plenty to like when second of 13 in novice chase at Fairyhouse (21.5f, soft) on debut over fences 29 days ago. The one to beat.

Forecasts

Three Card Brag (4/11), Monty's Star (9/4), Digby (9/2), Mighty Mo Missouri (20/1), Klarc Kent (25/1), Fakiera (50/1), Hunt Museum (200/1)

THREE CARD BRAG finished just ahead of Monty's Star in a red-hot Fairyhouse event earlier this month and Gordon Elliott's gelding gets the nod to confirm placings with his similarly exciting rival. Digby has also made an encouraging start over fences and rates as the clear third pick.
