Promising sort. Sixth of 16 in novice chase (2/1) at Gowran (20f, good) on debut over fences 92 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Remains with potential back hurdling.

16/1
Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Suprassed previous efforts when fifth of 10 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (20f, soft, 50/1) 24 days ago, well positioned. Now has to back that up sent handicapping.

Much improved after rejoining this yard when winning in hurdle at Sligo in October. 12/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fell in novice chase at Cork (20f, soft) 23 days ago. Merits consideration if none the worse.

Forecasts

Coffeys Forge (11/4), Comeonarchie (7/2), Not My Problem (5/1), The Miracle Man (13/2), Tell Nobody Nothin (7/1), Waittillitellyou (11/1), Cooltubrid Eva (14/1), Pointe A Pitre (16/1), Wrecking Ball Paul (22/1), Nathan Wells (33/1), Famous Sonnet (50/1), Kyle Valley (66/1)

Verdict

COFFEYS FORGE ran well on his debut for Gordon Elliott last month and it's not inconceivable that he'll do better still now with a top trainer. Tiernan Power Roche is an eye-catching booking aboard the returning Waittillitellyou, who won a division of this contest last year, whilst Tell Nobody Nothin remains with potential making the quick switch back to hurdling.
