Addragoole²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G P Cromwell

2/1

Useful hurdler who has made an encouraging start in this sphere, building on his Killarney third when second of 7 in novice chase at Galway (18.2f, soft) 23 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Definite player with the prospect of more to come.

Form: 230-032

Blaze The Way¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Danny Mullins| T: Ms M Mullins

9/2

Fairly useful hurdler who hasn't gone without promise in 2 chase starts, sixth of 8 in novice chase at Listowel (17.7f, good to soft) 10 days ago. still going okay when badly hampered 4 out. Another who appeals as the type to do better still in this sphere.

Form: 1248-56

6/1

Fairly useful chaser. 5/1, fell in novice chase at Galway (18.2f, good to soft) 64 days ago, yet to be asked for effort when coming down 2 out. Can make presence felt provided his jumping holds up.

Form: F35P-2F

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Danny Gilligan| T: R Hackett

12/1

Fairly useful winner at 2m over hurdles. Creditable fifth of 12 in minor event chase at Kilbeggan (20.4f, good to soft, 12/1) 122 days ago. Should progress.

Form: 0751-65

Sporting Glory²²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott

5/2

Bumper winner who confirmed the promise of his hurdling debut (for P. A. Fahy) with his sights lowered markedly when landing a Galway maiden (16.4f) last October. Out of sorts in stronger company back in February but he could resume progress now attentions switch to chasing.

Form: 14/13P0-

Telecon⁶⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Tiernan Power Roche⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Rothwell

12/1

Low-mileage 8-y-o who presumably hasn't been the easiest to train, returning from another absence when last of 15 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16.8f) at the start of last month. Goes chasing now for new stable and percentage call to look elsewhere.

Form: 8414/3-0

Tonaghneave Well²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Kieren Buckley| T: G P Cromwell| D

12/1

Bumper/fairly useful hurdles winner who has finished well held in pair of maiden chase contests at Killarney/Galway in recent weeks. Looks the type to be better suited

Form: 30-1056

Zeeband^t³⁰⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Gilligan⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Gilligan

33/1

Forecasts

Addragoole (2/1), Sporting Glory (5/2), Barry Lyndon (4/1), Blaze The Way (9/2), Jet Setting Jim (6/1), Nowwhatdoyouthink (12/1), Tonaghneave Well (12/1), Telecon (12/1), Zeeband (33/1)

ADDRAGOOLE stepped up on his chase debut form despite being caught further back than ideal when runner-up in a Galway novice 23 days ago and surely open to further progress, he could well be the way to go back at this shorter trip. Jet Setting Jim and Blaze The Way are others to consider, with Sporting Glory also commanding a second look.
