Career best when winning 11-runner handicap chase (5/1) at Punchestown (19.5f, heavy) on debut over fences 9 days ago, soon clear. Up in trip and he has to be respected in his hat-trick bid.

Forecasts

Diamond Dollar (11/8), Al Kalila (9/4), Duffys Hodey (4/1), Lucky Lyreen (10/1), Born Braver (14/1), Shantou Show (20/1), Whatcouldhavebeen (20/1), Stormy Judge (25/1), Where's Frankie (25/1)

Verdict

Though LUCKY LYREEN has failed to get competitive in a trio of maiden chases, he is of strong interest back up in trip on his handicap debut in this sphere, off a mark some 10 lb below his current hurdles mark. Al Kalila was a shade disappointing at Ayr last time but remains of interest judged on his chase debut second at Kelso, while Diamond Dollar is bidding for a third win on the bounce and is also accorded respect, along with Duffys Hodey.
