14/1

Latest win came in a Grade 2 Fariyhouse novice for Gavin Cromwell. Disappointing on Flat/over hurdles of late, including on debut for this yard last time. Back up in trip for chase debut.

Form: 35P06-7

Fenway Park^t¹³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: A McNamara

50/1

Fairly useful hurdler. Never dangerous in 2 beginners chases, leaving Gavin Patrick Cromwell before latest start. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Looks one for handicaps.

Form: 35P37-0

Funiculi Funicula²²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins

8/13

Useful winner at 17f over hurdles. 14/1, creditable 22¼ lengths fourth of 8 to Final Demand in Champion Novices' Hurdle at Punchestown (20.6f, good to soft). Makes chase debut.

Form: 2/1934-

Harbour Highway²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Donagh Meyler| T: E Mullins

50/1

Fair hurdler. 25/1, tenth of 15 in novice chase at Cork (21.2f, soft) on debut over fences 22 days ago. More needed.

Form: 9735P-0

King Alexander²³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Brian Hayes| T: W P Mullins| D

11/2

Useful handicap hurdler who made a successful start for Willie Mullins (formerly with Nicky Henderson) in 3m Fairyhouse event in January. Better than ever when third in handicap at Sandown when last season. Respected sent chasing after 7 months off.

Form: 7/81903-

Meet And Greet¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Phillip Enright| T: O McKiernan| C| D

8/1

Useful winner at 20f over hurdles. Probably needed run when seventh of 15 in novice chase at Fairyhouse (21.7f, soft, 18/1) on debut over fences 16 days ago. This should reveal more.

Form: 6152P-7

Mighty Jeremy^h,t²⁶³

Age: 11| Weight: 11-12| J: Simon Torrens| T: P T Foley| OR: 90| D

300/1

Fair winner at 20f over hurdles. First run since leaving Liam G. O'Brien when fifth of 8 in novice chase at Clonmel (20f, good to soft, 40/1) on debut over fences. Off 8 months. Hard to fancy.

Form: 41P50/5-

Prends Garde A Toi²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott

5/1

Surpassed hurdles form when second of 10 in novice chase (6/1) at Galway (18.2f, good to soft) on debut over fences. Out of depth in Grade 2 since but should get back on the up returned to this company.

Form: 4054-2P

Magic McColgan²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Danny Mullins| T: W P Mullins| D

25/1

Fair hurdler. Bred to make a chaser but was pulled up early on chase debut after saddle slipped courtesy of a bad mistake. Remains with potential.

Form: 0/2103-P

Forecasts

Funiculi Funicula (8/13), Prends Garde A Toi (5/1), King Alexander (11/2), Meet And Greet (8/1), Bottler'secret (14/1), Magic McColgan (25/1), Harbour Highway (50/1), Fenway Park (50/1), The Busy Fool (66/1), Mighty Jeremy (300/1)

PRENDS GARDE A TOI was an encouraging second on chase debut and can confirm that promise returned to beginners' company, though the Willie Mullins-trained chase newcomers Funiculi Funicula and King Alexander make plenty of appeal as alternatives.
