SIS Handicap Chase

Off time: 15:28 | Winning time: 5m 19.8s

Springt De La Mare^t³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-6| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 138

2/1

Promising type who scored at first time of asking over fences at Fairyhouse in January and improved on that when winning 6-runner novice chase (9/2) at Punchestown (16f, soft) 31 days ago, comfortably. Likely more to come on handicap debut.

Form: 3F-5311

Good As Hell¹⁸²

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Niall Moore⁽⁵⁾| T: P Fenton| OR: 132| D

40/1

Latest win in chase at Kilbeggan in September. Eighth of 11 in handicap chase at Listowel (17.7f, good, 25/1). Off 6 months. Others more appealing.

Form: 71PU18

Aslukwoodhavit^t⁷⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 125

9/1

Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. Fourth of 7 in handicap chase at Naas (16f, heavy, 13/2) 77 days ago. Up in trip. Others more convincing.

Form: 8/14P0-4

The Dara Man⁷⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-5| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: J P Ryan| OR: 123| C| D

14/1

Unreliable type. Course winner. 1 win from 2 runs this season. Pulled up in handicap chase at Naas (16f, heavy, 16/1) 77 days ago, pulled up before next. Back up in trip. Makes limited appeal.

Form: 4832-1P

Linden Arden¹⁹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Brian Hayes| T: P Fenton| OR: 121| BF| D

8/1

Twelfth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (22f, good, 5/1). Off 6 months. Switches from hurdles to chase. Worth a second look in the market on yard debut.

Form: 5-63410

The Gradual Slope²³³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: M M McDonagh| T: S O O'Brien| OR: 119

11/1

1 win from 3 runs this season. Possibly amiss when pulled up in handicap chase (22/1) at Galway (22.5f, soft), pulled up after fifth. Off 7 months. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 3231-4P

Sargent Lightfoot¹²⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 10-10| J: Phillip Enright| T: A Murray| OR: 114

7/1

Latest win in hurdle at Punchestown in June. 25/1, respectable seventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Navan (16.2f, good to soft) 127 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Back up in trip. Others more persuasive.

Form: 216227

Soloman Lane^t³⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-9| J: R A Berry⁽⁷⁾| T: M Hassett| OR: 113| D

5/1

Arrives on back of creditable placed efforts, latest when good second of 12 in handicap chase at Gowran (20f, heavy) 36 days ago. 3 lb higher now but ought to go well again.

Form: 2P1-P32

Happy Dreams^p1⁴⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: Cian Quirke⁽³⁾| T: M J McDonagh| OR: 110| CD

11/2

3-time C&D winner. 12/1, seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (19.8f, soft) 46 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Others preferred.

Form: 6-0F887

Forecasts

Springt De La Mare (2/1), Don't Talk (4/1), Soloman Lane (5/1), Happy Dreams (11/2), Sargent Lightfoot (7/1), Linden Arden (8/1), Aslukwoodhavit (9/1), General Clermont (10/1), The Lovely Man (10/1), The Gradual Slope (11/1), The Dara Man (14/1), Good As Hell (40/1)

SPRINGT DE LA MARE is going the right way over fences and looks fairly treated on his handicap bow. He can extend his winning run. Don't Talk and Soloman Lane can also make their presence felt.
