Horse A-Z
Fairly useful chaser. Didn't need to be at best when winning 8-runner mares' maiden chase at Ballinrobe (23.4f, good to soft, 5/6) in September. Clearly not 100% when pulled up in Grade 3 at Tipperary (20f) in October and she's the type to bounce back.

Winning hurdler who confirmed chase debut promise equipped with a tongue strap when winning 7-runner novice chase (11/8) at Sligo (17.6f, good) 73 days ago, drawing clear late on. Looks the type to do better still.

Hurdles winner who proved his chase debut running all wrong when readily taking 7-runner novice chase at this course (20f) 32 days ago. Needs considering with progress on the cards.

11/1
Bumper/hurdles winner who made a successful debut over fences at Gowran (20f) in October. Fell next start and this less demanding than when finishing third in Grade 2 company 3 weeks back.

Fairly useful chaser. First run since leaving W. P. Mullins when second of 4 in novice chase (7/4) at Naas (16f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Significantly up in trip.

11/4
Runner-up sole start in points and positive profile over hurdles, landing a maiden in March prior to improved efforts when placed in listed handicaps (including here) on final 2 starts. Encouraging effort when third of 4 on novice chase debut at Navan 4 weeks ago and there's better to come.

20/1
Useful winner at 17f on flat. Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Creditable third of 8 in novice hurdle at Thurles (22.9f, good to soft, 11/8) 15 days ago. Makes chase debut.

Useful winner at 3m over hurdles. Third of 12 in novice chase (4/1) at Galway (22.5f, soft) on debut over fences 48 days ago. Should improve.

Useful winner at 20f over hurdles. 10/1, fell in handicap chase at Navan (20.7f, soft) 7 days ago. Must improve in the jumping department if he's to figure. Hood on 1st time.

Forecasts

Kinturk Kalanisi (11/4), Native Speaker (7/2), Mint Boy (4/1), Judicieuse Allen (7/1), A Penny A Hundred (11/1), Ho My Lord (11/1), Rainbow Trail (11/1), Magellan Strait (20/1), Spirit Of Legend (22/1)

Verdict

NATIVE SPEAKER showed his chase debut running all wrong when running out a dominant winner from the front here over shorter 32 days ago and he's fancied to make another bold bid with further progress in the offing. Mint Boy, Judicieuse Allen and Rainbow Trail head up the dangers in an interesting novices' chase.
