Point Gellibrand⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Scott McCullagh⁽³⁾| T: Gerard O'Leary| OR: 84

50/1

Useful for Joseph O'Brien in 2022. Very lightly-raced since but did at least show more than on return when second of 3 in minor event at this course (7f, 9/1) 49 days ago. Return to handicaps rates a plus from further reduced mark.

Form: 216/00-2

Inigo Jones^p1,t1⁸⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Shane Foley| T: H D McGuigan| OR: 79

50/1

First run since leaving Alice Haynes when tenth of 14 in claimer (12/1) at this course (12f) 86 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Tongue strap on for 1st time, cheekpieces on for 1st time.

Not Forgotten^p1,t²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M Halford & T Collins| OR: 79| CD

6/1

Rewarded for consistency when landing C&D maiden in November. Lines up here following a respectable fifth of 14 in a C&D handicap 4 weeks ago and he's one to bear in mind with cheekpieces now enlisted.

Form: 23219-5

Ransom^h1,t⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Luke McAteer| T: H D McGuigan| OR: 79| CD

10/1

3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in February. 7/1, first run since leaving Denis Hogan when tenth of 12 in handicap at this course (7f) 7 days ago. Hood on 1st time.

Form: 38-3310

Shoot To Kill⁶¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Adam Caffrey⁽⁵⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 78| D

5/2

Latest win at Lingfield in September. Good second of 12 in handicap (9/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 61 days ago, no match for winner. First run for yard after leaving Robyn Brisland and worth noting if the market speaks in his favour.

Form: 51338-2

Brains^b,t¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Robbie Colgan| T: R Donohoe| OR: 75| CD

25/1

C&D winner. Three wins from 13 runs last year. Last of 8 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D 14 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 40-9208

(7)

Little Keilee³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: Ciaran Murphy| OR: 74| C

9/1

Latest win here (7f) in December. 9/2, respectable third of 7 in handicap at this course (7f) 37 days ago, headed final 1f and no extra. Should give another good account from 1 lb lower mark.

Form: 4251-53

Sirjack Thomas¹²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: Rory Cleary| T: A McGuinness| OR: 74| D

50/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 25/1, bit below form fifth of 22 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, heavy), unable to sustain effort. Off 124 days.

Form: 454005-

Super Over^v⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Colin Keane| T: D P Coakley| OR: 72| CD

2/1

C&D winner. Creditable third of 12 in handicap (7/2) at this course (7f) 7 days ago, no extra final 100 yds. Visor back on and he could just be worth chancing.

Form: 0438-43

(6)

Rampage^t¹⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: James Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 70

22/1

Latest win at Galway in September. 9/1, below form eleventh of 19 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, soft) in October, weakening over 1f out. Market should guide on return/polytrack debut.

Form: 932120-

Rockbury Lad^p,h1⁹³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Leigh Roche| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 68| CD

12/1

Finally shed maiden tag over C&D in September. Good efforts on 2 of his 4 starts since but didn't find a great deal when seventh of 14 in handicap at this C&D in December. Likely type to bounce back returning from a break.

Form: 012647-

El Bello²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: S D Bowen⁽⁵⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 67| C

18/1

Back-to-back winner here (at 7f) in November. However, operating below best upon joining present stable, only tenth of 13 in handicap at this course (7f) 21 days ago.

Form: 145-800

Forecasts

Super Over (2/1), Shoot To Kill (5/2), Not Forgotten (6/1), Skontonovski (8/1), Little Keilee (9/1), Ransom (10/1), Rockbury Lad (12/1), El Bello (18/1), Rampage (22/1), Brains (25/1), Sirjack Thomas (50/1), Inigo Jones (50/1), Point Gellibrand (50/1)

SUPER OVER has been displaying more encouraging signs from his reduced mark in handicaps in recent weeks, and with a switch of headgear potentially putting an extra edge on him, he could just be worth chancing back up at 1m. Shoot To Kill, on debut for his new yard, and Not Forgotten head up the dangers, with Little keilee also respected.
