14/1

First run since leaving Noel Meade when third of 13 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (23.3f, good, 66/1) 27 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. One to be interested in.

Como Park^b,t⁶⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 116

11/2

Winner in hurdle at Cork in November. Creditable fourth of 23 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.3f, good to soft, 10/1) 66 days ago. Likeable type who is still getting better and longer trip should be no issue, so makes most appeal.

15/2

Bit below form sixth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (23.3f, good, 5/1) 27 days ago. Others more persuasive.

25/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Tenth of 15 in handicap hurdle (28/1) at Punchestown (19.2f, good) 27 days ago. Up in trip. Others make more appeal.

7/1

9/2, fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Perth (20.2f, heavy). Off 9 months. Up in trip. Likely to need the run but could be of interest if strong in the betting.

Forecasts

Futurum Regem (4/1), Donacheady Gale (5/1), Donkey Years (5/1), Como Park (11/2), Andys Flame (7/1), Mister Beeton (15/2), Club Manager (8/1), Hascoeur Clermont (8/1), Getaway Charlie (17/2), Meyo (11/1), Ginnets Girl (12/1), Everglow (14/1), Story Rory (14/1), Cozone (16/1), Ceroc (18/1), Dollar Value (22/1), Big Debates (25/1), Un Des Flos (25/1), Riggs (100/1)

COMO PARK's fourth at Punchestown is a strong piece of form and he boasts a likeable profile, so he takes preference over Donacheady Gale, who finished to good effect when runner-up at Kilbeggan recently. Donkey Years also makes plenty of appeal with cheekpieces refitted on the back of a solid display.
