Remains a maiden after 18 runs but second in a handicap in March and matched that form when 7/4, third of 4 in novice chase at Tramore (15.5f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Not taken lightly.
|
Left previous chasing efforts behind after 3 months off when second of 13 in handicap chase (10/1) at Limerick (19.6f, good) 37 days ago, jumped and travelled well, edged out dying strides. Return to 2m should be fine on that evidence. Warrants plenty of respect.
|
Shaped better than the beaten distance (13 lengths) when 16/5, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (16.7f, good to soft) 24 days ago, having been well backed. Should be competitive back over fences.
|
Successful on sole outing in points. Fair maiden hurdler but yet to threaten in handicaps. Dam is a half-sister to top-class chaser (stayed 25f) Road To Respect. Interesting on chase debut.
|
Career best when winning 11-runner handicap chase (5/1) at Killarney (23.4f, soft), forging clear. Faces a different test down markedly in trip after 7 months off but has gone well fresh. Not ruled out.
|
Winner of a hurdle at Listowel in September. Running well when fell in handicap hurdle at Limerick prior to being a considerate introduction to chasing when sixth of 13 in handicap chase (14/1) at Clonmel (16.7f, soft) 84 days ago. Open to improvement.
|
Typically less than fluent when last seen finishing well held over fences. Below form twelfth of 24 on most recent outing over hurdles at Fairyhouse (20.2f, good, 12/1) back in November but remains on a fair mark if he can put it all together back over larger obstacles.
|
Seem to benefit from being ridden more positively when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle at Limerick (16f, good to soft) 28 days ago. May progress again on chase debut.
|
Failed to justify support (returning from nearly a year off) when sixteenth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Cork (16f, good to soft, 13/2) 17 days ago. Needs to leave that run well behind on chase debut.
|
Was beaten by more than lack of fitness after 11 months off when below form eighth of 14 in handicap chase at Tramore (21.8f, good to soft, 8/1) 24 days ago. Down in trip with something to prove.
|
Arrives on the back of her two best runs of the season, latest when creditable fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle (7/2) at Clonmel (17f, good) 21 days ago. Should be competitive back over fences.
|
Two wins from 47 NH runs. 28/1, creditable 8¼ lengths seventh of 12 to Midnight Eagle in handicap hurdle at Limerick (16f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Remains to be seen if he can build on that back over fences.
|
Again showed little (after 5 months off) when 33/1, sixth of 14 in handicap chase at Tramore (21.8f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Down in trip but other preferred.

Forecasts
Big Island (10/3), Onebrightbluerose (7/1), Elusive Prince (15/2), Mount Ferns (15/2), In The Trenches (8/1), Inchidaly Copper (12/1), Warm In Gorey (12/1), Midnight Eagle (12/1), Charlies Pride (14/1), Itsalonglongroad (14/1), Added Bonus (14/1), Keep Me Posted (16/1), The Eye Of Tulla (18/1)
Having jumped and travelled well when narrowly denied at Limerick last time, BIG ISLAND may set the standard on his return to 2m. In The Trenches arrives on the back of his 2 best runs to date and should be in the mix, while Mount Ferns is open to improvement over fences having been tenderly handled on his chase debut.
- Big Island10/3
- Mount Ferns15/2
