Gracie's Bar Beginners Chase

Off time: 15:35 | Winning time: 5m 39.90s

Captain P^p,t²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Jordan Gainford| T: C Collins

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden who has failed to better poor form over hurdles this year. Can only be watched now sent chasing in a switch of headgear.

Form: 00-5P80

Fremantle Doctor^t¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Ben Harvey| T: J C McConnell

9/2

Fair maiden hurdler/chaser who shaped as if better for the run after 5 months off when seventh of 16 in handicap hurdle at Navan (19f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Better showing anticipated returned to larger obstacles.

Form: 205P2-7

Hatfield Hammer^p³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Eoin Staples⁽⁷⁾| T: P Nolan| OR: 98

7/1

Winner over hurdles at Wexford (17f) in May. Respectable efforts next 2 starts prior to suffering a luckless debut in this sphere when sixth of 11 in handicap chase at Wexford (19.4f, good) 33 days ago, badly hampered 2 out. Should do better.

Form: 23-1256

Mr Eastwood^t²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Paul Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hackett

66/1

Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Last of 8 in novice chase at Kilbeggan (20.4f, good, 80/1) on debut over fences 26 days ago. Low-grade handicaps promise to be more his bag in due course.

Form: 7P-738

Rebellious Gale^t¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Kevin Sexton| T: A J Martin| OR: 92| BF

6/1

Fair hurdler/chaser who arrives on a losing run but comes here in good heart, respectable fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Navan (19f, good to soft, 4/1) 11 days ago. Step back up in trip in his favour on that evidence and he rates an each-way player here.

Form: 3-0B244

Tyson^h⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: P Nolan

15/2

Modest hurdler. Blinkered for 1st time, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle (7/1) at Tramore (21f, good to firm) 47 days ago. Makes chase debut.

Form: 0270-44

Hurricane Honey^t¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Kieren Buckley| T: A Murray| OR: 93

9/1

Fair hurdler. 1 win from 3 runs this season. Fair winner at 19f over hurdles. Better than bare result when seventh of 13 in handicap chase at Ballinrobe (23f, soft, 9/1) 19 days ago. Ease back in trip can see her in a better light on that evidence.

Form: 590-137

Quarry Tiepy^t1¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins

9/4

Point winner who didn't set the world alight in 4 runs over hurdles but definite encouragement to glean from last month's third of 11 in minor event chase at Downpatrick (17.8f, soft) on debut over fences 12 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and she's interesting with the prospect of more to come.

Form: 1/57573

Stretchemout^p,t¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott

18/1

Modest hurdler. Eighth of 11 in minor event chase at Downpatrick (17.8f, soft, 9/1) on debut over fences 12 days ago. Likely to improve.

Form: 6269-P8

Vroomvroomboo^t¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Philip Donovan⁽³⁾| T: J Fahey

18/1

Modest hurdler. Twelfth of 16 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Navan (19f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Makes chase debut and others make much more appeal.

Form: 3-09350

Whiskey Serenade⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G P Cromwell

10/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Listowel (22f, good to soft) 5 days ago, pulled up before 3 out. Makes chase debut.

Form: 773P

Forecasts

Quarry Tiepy (9/4), Fremantle Doctor (9/2), Rebellious Gale (6/1), Hatfield Hammer (7/1), Tyson (15/2), Hurricane Honey (9/1), Whiskey Serenade (10/1), Stretchemout (18/1), Vroomvroomboo (18/1), Captain P (25/1), Mr Eastwood (66/1)

QUARRY TIEPY didn't set the world alight in a handful of runs over hurdles, yet there was definite encouragement to glean from her chase debut third at Downpatrick 12 days ago and, with the step back up in trip expected to suit, she may well be the answer. Fremantle Doctor, Hatfield Hammer and Rebellious Gale can provide chief resistance, in that order.
