9/2

Added another place to record when second in handicap hurdle at Listowel in September on final start for Michael Hourigan. Shaped as if needing run both starts for this yard, showing promise at Cheltenham last time. Potentially on a good mark back over fences and unexposed in this sphere, too.

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: James Bowen| T: W Greatrex| OR: 111| D

9/4

Aided by an uncontested lead when landing a Southwell maiden in ready fashion in December. Struggled off stiff mark next 2 starts, however, so needs to improve for the switch to fences.

Queens Wish²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 105| BF

9/2

Bought for €140,000 after winning sole outing in Irish points and looked professional when making a winning hurdles debut at Newcastle in January. Disappointed next 2 starts but must be respected now going chasing.

5/4

Winless since her juvenile days but went very close at Southwell in October. Not seen since and not an obvious chasing type on looks.

Forecasts

Obsessedwithyou (5/4), Land Of Moon (9/4), Finest View (7/2), Ballywilliam Boy (9/2), Queens Wish (9/2)

BALLYWILLIAM BOY is potentially well treated back in this sphere so could be the answer on his third start for this yard. Expensive point-recruit Queens Wish can get back on track switched to fences and is feared most.
