16/1

Form: 459155

Only By Night¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Sean Flanagan| T: G P Cromwell

2/1

Promising individual. Career best when winning 8-runner novice chase (9/2) at Tipperary (16.4f, soft) on debut over fences 16 days ago, soon clear. Can make presence felt.

Form: 11373-1

Zenta²¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| BF| D

5/2

Useful hurdler. 8/13, respectable fourth of 14 in novice chase at Ballinrobe (17.1f, good). Off 7 months. More to come in this sphere.

Form: 31/337-4

Karia Des Blaises¹⁹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Brian Hayes| T: W P Mullins| D

20/1

Fairly useful hurdler. Fifth of 6 in minor event hurdle (9/1) at Listowel (16.4f, good), doing too much too soon. Off 6 months. Makes chase debut.

Form: 02F7P-5

Nara^h²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Mark Walsh| T: H De Bromhead

7/4

Promising type. Career best when winning 5-runner novice chase at Gowran (16f, good, evens) 29 days ago, easily. Should progress again and makes plenty of appeal.

Form: 4473-F1

Forecasts

Nara (7/4), Only By Night (2/1), Zenta (5/2), A Law Of Her Own (16/1), Karia Des Blaises (20/1), Kilbarry Saint (25/1), Air Drop (50/1), Must Be Dreaming (150/1)

ZENTA didn't quite come up to expectations on chasing debut but she's the pick on hurdles form and should improve after 7 months off, so she's marginally preferred to recent winners Only By Night and Nara.
