Anotherway¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: W P Mullins| OR: 85| D

5/2

Useful winner at 16f over hurdles. 11/8, third of 14 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (16.2f, heavy) 14 days ago, doing too much too soon. Up in trip for this handicap debut. Has to be feared.

Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. 16/1 and hooded for 1st time, seventh of 14 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (16.2f, heavy) 14 days ago. Hood on 1st time on the Flat. Anotherway appears to be the stable No 1.

11/2

4/1, good second of 11 in handicap at Sligo (10.6f, good to soft) 12 days ago, just failing. Has to be taken seriously nudged up just 2 lb for that near miss.

Form: 8085-52

Bold Approach^p,t⁵⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 8-13| J: Gabriella Hill⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Bolger| OR: 70| C| D

8/1

Course winner. Twenty-three runs since last win in 2019. 33/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Dundalk (12f) 56 days ago. Tongue strap back on and would have a real chance were he to bounce back.

Forecasts

Anotherway (5/2), A Piece Of Heaven (7/2), Whimsy (11/2), Reina Del Mar (6/1), Bold Approach (8/1), Tounsivator (10/1), The Names Jock (14/1), Firstman (14/1), Teed Up (16/1), The Black Tiger (40/1), Queen Of Seduction (50/1), High Honour (100/1)

Unlucky not to get her head in front over 10.6f at Sligo recently, WHIMSY is taken to gain compensation back up in trip here. Anotherway was third in a Punchestown novice hurdle earlier this month and he is an obvious threat for the Willie Mullins yard, while Reina Del Mar is third choice ahead of A Piece Of Heaven and Firstman.
