Cadatharla³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Simon Torrens| T: Colm Murphy

14/1

Useful hurdler. Should build on his C&D chase debut sixth on his reappearance a month ago but like a few of these he has a bit to find with Nick Rockett.

Form: 75124-6

My Immortal^p³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: M J M O'Sullivan| T: B Connell

12/1

Useful hurdler. Should be all the sharper for his first experience of fences here last month but he was well behind Nick Rockett on that occasions. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 121/02-8

Nick Rockett³⁰

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

2/7

Point winner who quickly made up into a smart hurdler in the spring. Promising start to his chase career when fourth of 13 in C&D maiden last month. Hard to beat with improvement on the cards.

Form: 1/4111-4

Santonito^p²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott

11/1

Fairly useful hurdler. 28/1, third of 7 in maiden at Navan (20.4f, heavy) on debut over fences 23 days ago.

Tactical Move³⁵¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: W P Mullins

7/1

Bumper winner in 2019 who made a successful return from a huge absence in a 22-runner maiden hurdle (7/4) at Punchestown (16f, heavy) in January (off again since). Interesting recruit to chasing but Nick Rockett has to be considered the yard first string.

Forecasts

Nick Rockett (2/7), Tactical Move (7/1), Santonito (11/1), My Immortal (12/1), Cadatharla (14/1), Highland Charge (25/1), Good Time Jonny (33/1)

NICK ROCKETT had a few of these rivals well behind him when making a promising start to his chase career here last month and should be very hard to beat with improvement on the cards. His talented, but seemingly fragile, stablemate Tactical Move is the one likely to give him most to do.
