Sandor Clegane⁵⁸

Tareze³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead| D

7/2

Fairly useful hurdler. Fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles. Second of 9 in novice chase (3/1) at Limerick (19.2f, heavy) on debut over fences 33 days ago. That form looks solid (winner followed up in a Grade 2 recently) and she's a key player.

Form: 121F4-2

Forecasts

Kiss Will (1/1), Tareze (7/2), Flicker Of Hope (5/1), Patter Merchant (10/1), Sandor Clegane (10/1), C'est Ta Chance (18/1), Dr Eggman (18/1), Zeeband (100/1), Alpesh Amin (100/1), Attaboyarchie (125/1)

KISS WILL struggled in the Grade 1 Turners Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in March, but he was impressive in a maiden here and Perth listed event either side of that and this 5-y-o brings plenty of potential to the table now switched to fences. The form of Tareze's chase debut second at Limerick has been boosted since and she should give it a good shot, while Flicker of Hope also made a positive start in this sphere at Wexford and he is third choice ahead of Sandor Clegane.
