Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| OR: 152| C| D

4/1

Smart chaser with 5 wins including one at this course. Third of 5 in Grade 2 Chase at Gowran Park (5/2) last October, better when having use made of his speed and enthusiasm. Tongue strap back on and may show more if allowed to stride on.

Form: 33/2123

Touch Me Not⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: James Smith⁽⁵⁾| T: G Elliott| OR: 151| D

7/2

Talented chaser with Grade 1 Chase experience. Finished 2nd of 12 over this course/distance 46 days ago, just 2½ lengths behind today's rival Drumgill. That strong showing after dropping from graded races suggests potential to win today.

Form: 2254-42

Inthepocket³⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Mark Walsh| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 149| BF

15/2

Talented since impressive 2024 Wexford win. Finished 5th at Navan recently, performing better than result suggests after failing to settle. Shows clear ability but ongoing tendency to pull in races remains problematic.

Form: 12/13-F5

Tullyhill^t³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Danny Mullins| T: W P Mullins| OR: 143

9/1

Without a win in 8 starts, pulled up at Navan (4/1) 39 days ago though was leading until failing to stay. Ran well when second over this C&D last January.

Form: 22PP/2P

Path D'oroux¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Kieren Buckley| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 142

18/1

Settled for minor roles recently, including fourth over this C&D last April before finishing sixth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (22/1) 18 days ago. Tongue strap and cheekpieces removed today.

Form: 04P/3-56

The Other Mozzie^p³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Conor Stone-Walsh| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 142| D

22/1

Won at Ayr last April but seventh of 9 in handicap chase at Kelso (9/1) 38 days ago, running below-par despite suitable trip. May appreciate this 17f distance.

Form: 1710/77-

Drumgill⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 137| CD

12/1

Won handicap chase at this course and distance (11/1) 46 days ago after placing 3rd and 2nd in previous two starts, making good progress to beat Touch Me Not by 2.5 lengths. Up 8lbs but proven effective at this track.

Form: 5PP231

Midnight It Is⁴⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-9| J: Sean Flanagan| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 135| CD

40/1

Useful thirds at this C&D last January and at Cheltenham in March, but ninth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (18/1) 46 days ago. Has proven ability at this track when in better form.

Form: 13830/9

The King Of Prs^t¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Eoin Staples⁽⁵⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 134| CD

14/1

Won this race last year but showed below form when ninth of 20 in handicap chase at Leopardstown (22/1) 19 days ago. Returns to the scene of last year's victory and could show improved form at this track.

Form: 085/B59

Western Diego^h⁴⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-4| J: Brian Hayes| T: W P Mullins| OR: 130| C

9/2

Better over this trip than longer distances as shown when tiring at Punchestown in May. Third of 12 in handicap at this course (7/1) 46 days ago, finishing 2¾ lengths behind Drumgill after not being fluent two out. Effective at this distance and could be involved in the finish again.

Form: 46258/3

St Faz^p1,t²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Sam Ewing| T: G Elliott| OR: 123| D

18/1

Performer over fences and hurdles in handicaps. Finished 4th of 11 in a handicap hurdle at Thurles (4/1) 25 days ago, jumping none too fluently but plugging on. Returns to chase discipline with first-time cheekpieces off a higher mark.

Form: 25657-4

More Coko^h⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Sean Cleary-Farrell⁽⁷⁾| T: W P Mullins| OR: 122| D

9/1

Without a win in 6 runs, ninth of 15 in maiden chase at Fairyhouse (80/1) 46 days ago. May be better suited to this shorter trip on handicap chase debut.

Form: 2F/4589

Forecasts

Touch Me Not (7/2), Blood Destiny (4/1), Western Diego (9/2), Inthepocket (15/2), More Coko (9/1), Tullyhill (9/1), Drumgill (12/1), The King Of Prs (14/1), St Faz (18/1), Path D'oroux (18/1), The Other Mozzie (22/1), Midnight It Is (40/1)

BLOOD DESTINY can show his true class in this Grade 3 handicap if allowed to use his natural speed and enthusiasm from the front. The reapplied tongue strap is a positive sign and he's won at this course previously. Inthepocket has undoubted talent but must overcome his tendency to pull, while Western Diego looks effective over this trip and can build on his recent third at this venue.
