Hauturiere²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| D

8/11

Useful chaser. Career best when winning 5-runner Gr 2 chase at Limerick (22.6f, heavy, 11/10) 25 days ago by 35 lengths from Sainte Dona, easing clear. Another bold show likely with further improvement anticipated.

Form: 124-141

Silent Approach⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Danny Mullins| T: C O'Keeffe| D

10/3

Useful chaser. Latest win in chase at Cork in December. Very good 5 lengths third of 6 to Spillane's Tower in Killiney Novices' Chase at Punchestown (19.7f, soft, 28/1) 7 days ago. Respected back in mares company.

Form: 3F3113

Harmonya Maker²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| BF| D

10/3

Useful chaser. 1 win from 3 runs this season. Should have beaten Silent Approach at Cork and was blatanly unsuited by longer trip when 36¾ lengths third of 5 to Hauturiere in Gr 2 chase at Limerick (22.6f, heavy, 11/10) 25 days ago. This looks likelier to play to her strengths.

Form: UFP-123

Kilashee¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: J P Ryan| OR: 85| D

300/1

Unreliable type. Two wins from 44 NH runs. Thirty three runs since last win in 2021. 12/1, creditable second of 10 in handicap chase at Clonmel (16.5f, heavy) 10 days ago. Back up in trip. Plenty to find in this company.

Form: UP2002

Law Ella^t⁶²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Flanagan| T: G P Cromwell| C

12/1

Fairly useful winner at 22f over hurdles. Successful on debut over fences at Thurles in October but not in same form when 28 lengths eighth of 9 to Arclight in listed chase at Exeter (17.5f, soft, 7/2) 62 days ago. Still low mileage but needs to bounce back.

Form: 421-018

200/1

Fair hurdler. First run since leaving Miss Shauna Larkin when bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (20f, heavy, 25/1) 26 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Hard to see her making any impact in this grade.

Form: 3U3166

Forecasts

Hauturiere (8/11), Harmonya Maker (10/3), Silent Approach (10/3), Law Ella (12/1), More Info (200/1), Kilashee (300/1)

HAUTURIERE resumed winning ways in facile fashion at Limerick last time and, with further improvement anticipated, she's fancied to follow up under a penalty. Harmonya Maker was behind the selection at Limerick last time and this shorter trip may help her close the gap, whilst Silent Approach is also respected after a good effort against the geldings last week.
