Glenman Corporation Handicap Chase

Off time: 14:35 | Winning time: 5m 52.2s

Buddy One⁴³

Age: 8| Weight: 12-2| J: Jack Gilligan⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Gilligan| OR: 144| CD

6/1

C&D winner. Smart winner at 24f over hurdles. 18/1, last of 17 in handicap at Leopardstown (13f, good) 43 days ago. Switches from Flat to chase. Difficult ask.

Form: 43P57-6

Millforce^p¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Eoin Staples⁽⁷⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 129

12/1

Fairly useful winner at 22f over hurdles. 11/4, second of 4 in novice chase at Fairyhouse (21.2f, good) 15 days ago, going in snatches. Each-way chance if able to build on that now pitched into a handicap in this sphere.

Form: 31P-042

My Immortal^p²⁷⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: Sean Flanagan| T: B Connell| OR: 129

14/1

9/1, below form eleventh of 18 in handicap chase at Gowran (25f, soft). Off 9 months and probably worth taking on this time.

Form: 334/570-

Ballybawn Belter²²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Simon Torrens| T: Liz Doyle| OR: 122

5/1

Good second of 9 in handicap chase (12/1) at Gowran (20f, soft) 22 days ago, clear of rest. Merits consideration.

Form: 4534F-2

Banjaxed²²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Shane O'Callaghan⁽⁵⁾| T: L Fowler| OR: 122

13/2

10/1, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap chase at Gowran (20f, soft) 22 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 25127-4

Prince Palace²²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Harry Sexton⁽⁷⁾| T: P A Fahy| OR: 121

16/1

Pulled up in handicap chase at Gowran (20f, soft, 10/1) 22 days ago, left behind before end of back straight. Opposable.

Bal Kauto^h,t⁶⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁷⁾| T: D Queally| OR: 117| C| D

6/4

Six wins from 22 NH runs. 3 wins from 5 runs this season. Career best when winning 7-runner handicap chase (11/10) at Kilbeggan (25.8f, good to soft) 65 days ago, comfortably. Shortlist material.

Form: 4-37111

The Dasher Conway³⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-2| J: Patrick M O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs G Callaghan| OR: 116

14/1

28/1, twelfth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Navan (15.8f, good to soft) 36 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Significantly back up in trip. Dropped to a handy mark, but opposable all the same.

Form: 9535P0

Rolly Bowley Boy^p¹⁸⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Dylan Robinson| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 113

22/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. 12/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (24.6f, soft), dropping away next. Off 6 months.

Form: 270/27P-

Forecasts

Bal Kauto (6/4), Ballybawn Belter (5/1), Buddy One (6/1), Banjaxed (13/2), Millforce (12/1), The Dasher Conway (14/1), My Immortal (14/1), Prince Palace (16/1), Rolly Bowley Boy (22/1)

BAL KAUTO sprouted wings during the summer, bagging back-to-back handicap hurdles at Kilbeggan and this course in July before completing the hat-trick back in this sphere returned to Kilbeggan at the end of August. The 8-y-o is climbing the weights as a consequence, but he's unbeaten and unexposed over fences and is taken to extend his winning run. Ballybawn Belter rates the main danger ahead of Banjaxed and Millforce.
