7/1

Places in 3 of last 4 starts, most recently finishing second of 9 in handicap chase at Naas (5/1) 11 days ago when shaping as if back in form. Can be competitive if building on recent promise.

33/1

Winless in 13 starts and fell when in touch two out at Sligo chase handicap (12/1) 50 days ago after taking keen hold. Needs to settle better to show true ability over fences.

Form: 8P937F

Stoneyford Lady^p,t²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 97| BF

6/1

Improved in recent handicap hurdles at Tramore and Down Royal. Finished 2nd in maiden chase here (3/1) 21 days ago with good jumping but lacked late pace. Shows potential over fences and could win soon.

Form: 4-89422

Tomas O Maille^t²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Danny Gilligan| T: M Flannery| OR: 94

16/1

Fifth of 12 in chase at this course and distance (22/1) 21 days ago, beaten early in straight. Tongue strap back on but offers little hope.

Form: 2060P5

Listenheretomejack⁵³⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-9| J: Cian Quirke| T: E Doyle| OR: 90| BF| C

16/1

Ran well over fences when second at Killarney and third at Tramore before finishing fifth of 16 in chase at Tramore (5/1) 537 days ago. Long absence is the main concern.

Form: 7003/25-

Toon Town^t¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Conor Stone-Walsh| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 90

8/1

Only one win from 18 career starts. Finished sixth of 16 in handicap chase at Clonmel (14/1) 14 days ago, showing improvement from reappearance but jumping wasn't always fluent. Worth monitoring when the market speaks in favour.

Form: 579P-66

One And Only^p,t¹⁶⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Phillip Enright| T: O McKiernan| OR: 88

7/1

Three consecutive seconds in hurdle handicaps before finishing 16th of 17 in a hurdle handicap at Punchestown (8/1) 165 days ago, making a mistake and well beaten. May be better than form suggests returning to chase.

Form: 122F2-0

Chosen Shant^p¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: Alex Harvey| T: Aengus King| OR: 87

12/1

Form: 10P405

Stily^b1²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: M J McDonagh| OR: 84

6/1

Yet to win in 13 starts, finished third of 18 in a handicap chase at Thurles (17/2) 21 days ago, running close up and plugging on in the straight. First-time blinkers may help sharpen concentration.

Form: 385633

Baltinglass Hill^b⁴⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Dylan Robinson| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 79

16/1

Had shown poor form before finishing third of 12 in handicap chase (5/1) at Clonmel 49 days ago, ending a run of 13 unplaced efforts. Without a win in 15 races, consistency remains a significant concern.

Form: 8-75853

The Border Boy^p²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Danny Power⁽⁷⁾| T: S Aherne| OR: 74

12/1

Inconsistent hurdler with one win from 21 starts, third of 18 in handicap at Thurles (10/1) 21 days ago when running up to best. Faces new challenge in this different discipline.

Form: 099363

Romella^t,p¹⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 10-0| J: Daniel King| T: Brendan Walsh| OR: 73| C

25/1

Won a Hurdle at Tipperary in October but form has tailed off, finishing seventh of 16 in a Chase at Clonmel (22/1) 14 days ago. Needs to recapture October form.

Forecasts

Stoneyford Lady (6/1), Stily (6/1), Tell Nobody Nothin (7/1), One And Only (7/1), Toon Town (8/1), Luimneach (10/1), Farrokh (10/1), Chosen Shant (12/1), The Border Boy (12/1), Sayitfirst (12/1), Baltinglass Hill (16/1), Tomas O Maille (16/1), Listenheretomejack (16/1), Willywampus (16/1), Romella (25/1), Saint Peregrine (33/1)

STONEYFORD LADY displayed good jumping when runner-up over course and distance 21 days ago and looks ready to score over fences after recent improvement. Toon Town showed signs of revival at Clonmel recently and warrants interest with market support. Sayitfirst remains in good heart after two narrow defeats, most recently when headed in the dying strides at Down Royal.
