28/1

Won at Kilbeggan in August but form has declined, pulling up in handicap chase at Thurles (14/1) 26 days ago. Current handicap mark appears to be testing her abilities.

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Donagh Meyler| T: J P Dempsey| OR: 105| CD

9/2

Has shown form in chase races. Finished second of 14 in maiden chase (5/2) at Limerick 17 days ago, taking a strong hold before being somewhat belatedly asked for maximum effort. Worth considering at 15/2 despite not winning in 17 races.

5/1

Has won twice in hurdles, most recently finishing first of 24 in handicap at Fairyhouse (7/2) 14 days ago, showing good progress to lead in the run-in. Will need to transfer hurdles ability to fences on this chase debut.

9/2

Progressive performer who won a handicap hurdle at Gowran Park last October before switching to chases. Won a 22.8f handicap chase at Tramore 14 days ago, leading 5 out. Up 7lbs but showed enough improvement to suggest more potential over fences.

Form: P/06141

Age: 9| Weight: 10-7| J: Simon Torrens| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 91

25/1

Forecasts

One And Only (4/1), West Of Carrig (9/2), Ag Obair Go Crua (9/2), Our Boy Rocky (5/1), Midleton Rare (5/1), Dundaniel (12/1), Hello Jack (14/1), Quornofamonday (16/1), Tell Us This (18/1), Duffys Getaway (25/1), Speakasyoufind (25/1), Hardy Diamond (28/1), Rockstown Girl (28/1), Don't Talk (28/1), Long Road (33/1)

AG OBAIR GO CRUA improved when winning a handicap chase at Tramore two weeks ago, shaping like there's more to come. One And Only ran his best chase race when third at Limerick in first-time blinkers and could be competitive if his jumping holds up. West Of Carrig's consistent chase form makes him a player also.
