Je T'ai Porte^h¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Shane Fitzgerald| T: G P Cromwell

9/1

Fairly useful chaser. Third of 10 in novice chase (100/1) at Leopardstown (17f, heavy) 12 days ago, catching the eye after meeting trouble/refusing to settle. Likely to do better if the market speaks in her favour.

Something Abouther³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Aidan Kelly⁽⁵⁾| T: P Roche

4/1

Fairly useful hurdler. Fairly useful winner at 22f over hurdles. Unseated rider in novice chase at Fairyhouse (21.3f, heavy, 4/1) on debut over fences 38 days ago. One to consider based on hurdling form.

Form: 3-2155U

Walk With Paul^h,t⁸⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: C Brassil⁽⁵⁾| T: M Brassil

1/2

Fairly useful hurdler. 22/1, very good third of 8 in novice chase at Leopardstown (17f, heavy) 80 days ago. Solid claims.

Form: 343-263

Ladybank²⁰

Weight: 11-7| Age: 6

T: H De Bromhead J: Rachael Blackmore

Forecasts

Walk With Paul (1/2), Something Abouther (4/1), Ladybank (4/1), Je T'ai Porte (9/1), Missiee (12/1), It'sallabouteve (14/1), Pebble Bleu (80/1), Ma Hoey (125/1)

JE T'AI PORTE got back on track and was much better than the bare result when third in a novice at Leopardstown recently so, if strong in the betting, she's likely to get the better of Walk With Paul in a race that the pair are likely to dominate. Something Abouther could feature if she can match the pick of her hurdling efforts.
