Banter At The Bar^p²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Gavin Brouder| T: M F Morris| OR: 122| D

9/2

Previously struggled in maiden hurdles but proved a different proposition on chasing debut. First of 12 in maiden chase at Punchestown (12/1) 28 days ago, jumped fine and went on soon after 3 out. Open to improvement and makes handicap debut.

Form: 17/761

Supreme Gift³³²

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Calum Hogan⁽⁷⁾| T: E McNamara| OR: 122| D

33/1

Has been out of sorts since winning at Market Rasen in November 2024, thirteenth of 24 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (66/1) 332 days ago holding his own for some way. Blinkers removed.

Hermino AA⁷⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-13| J: Patrick M O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: E McNamara| OR: 121| D

22/1

Left Gary & Josh Moore before returning to chasing last October and was sixth of 15 in handicap chase at Cork (13/2) 77 days ago, took closer order before 4 out but no extra before 2 out. Yet to get anywhere near the useful level he's achieved over hurdles.

Form: 473/6-56

Choccabloc^t²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Brian Hayes| T: A McNamara| OR: 119

22/1

Improved in novice chases after poor debut and fell when looking likely winner at Limerick, backed that up when second of 9 in novice chase at Fairyhouse (12/1) 25 days ago. Handicap chase but must cut out serious mistakes.

Form: 522/7F2

Kings Hill²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Jack Gilligan⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Gilligan| OR: 118

28/1

Was a useful hurdler but has been tailed off in both chase starts so far, most recently fourth of 7 in maiden at this C&D (80/1) 22 days ago where not always fluent and never a threat. Plenty to prove over fences.

Form: 70P0/34

Evies Vladimir^p²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Eoin Staples⁽⁵⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 116

11/1

Has pulled up three times in last five starts though did finish second at this C&D in December before ninth of 13 in handicap chase at Punchestown (18/1) 28 days ago, took keen hold and was no threat after mistake 3 out. Hard to fancy.

Form: 7PP/P29

Solly Attwell^p²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁵⁾| T: C Collins| OR: 115| D

20/1

Hasn't won in 3 runs since last September, including comprehensively at Downpatrick (12/1). Sixth of 13 in handicap chase at Punchestown (16/1) 28 days ago, wasn't seen to best effect after 7 weeks off.

Form: P1165-6

Gringo D'aubrelle^p1²⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-5| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 113| BF| C| D

5/2

Won a handicap hurdle at this course in December but was prominent when falling heavily at the sixth in handicap chase at Punchestown (9/4 fav, 13 runners) 28 days ago. First-time cheekpieces applied.

Form: 904/51F

Where's Frankie⁴¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-5| J: Ben Harvey| T: K Thornton| OR: 113| D

66/1

Has been in a lull for some time and produced a laboured effort when eighth of 13 in handicap chase at Leopardstown (40/1) 41 days ago, tailed off from 5 out. Now below last winning mark but has plenty to prove.

Form: 765/768

Promontory²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Donagh Meyler| T: Sarah Connell| OR: 112| D

12/1

Won 24f hurdle maiden last April but hasn't recaptured that form since, finishing fifth of 11 in maiden chase at Fairyhouse (40/1) 24 days ago where he raced off the pace, jumped left and struggled from 3 out. Significant step up in trip but plenty to prove.

Form: 310/705

The Gradual Slope⁴²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Danny Mullins| T: S O O'Brien| OR: 110

18/1

Stopped the slide when third of 16 in handicap chase at Thurles (40/1) 50 days ago, plugging on, but pulled up in handicap hurdle at Limerick (20/1) 42 days ago. Plenty to prove.

Form: 8/5PU3P

Rokathir⁵⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 108| D

14/1

Won a handicap hurdle at Punchestown last February before an 8-month absence. Seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (25/1) 50 days ago on his return, probably needed the run over an inadequate trip. Returns to chasing.

Form: 30F10/7

Casey West^p³⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-13| J: Tiernan Power Roche⁽³⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 107

12/1

Inconsistent this season, pulling up at Wexford before bouncing back to second at Fairyhouse in first-time cheekpieces, then fifth of 16 in handicap chase at Punchestown (8/1) 39 days ago, running creditably. Back up in trip.

Form: 74/5P25

So They Tell Me³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Aidan Kelly⁽³⁾| T: P Roche| OR: 106

16/1

Sole win came over hurdles in June 2024 and has shown little over fences, pulled up of 7 in maiden chase at Fairyhouse (100/1) 38 days ago when tailed off. Rating looks suspect.

Form: P56/P8P

Bigbraveboy²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Mr S Connor⁽⁷⁾| T: James Hannon| OR: 104| D

5/1

Opened his account under Rules at Tramore in late November and has maintained that form since. Third of 13 in handicap chase at Punchestown (7/1) 28 days ago, needing no excuses. Needs more to trouble these.

Form: 8/00143

Mighty Oak Lad³⁶⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Daniel King| T: K Thornton| OR: 104| BF| D

14/1

Made encouraging progress over fences with three consecutive placed efforts before a year off, most recently runner-up as favourite in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (second of 12 at 9/5) last February when continuing to progress and keeping on. Needs to prove his fitness after such a long absence.

Form: P38332/

Attaboyarchie²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-9| J: Miss E J Sweeney⁽⁷⁾| T: K Thornton| OR: 103

20/1

Made an inauspicious start over fences following a lengthy absence but ran best race in that sphere when fourth of 9 in novice chase at Fairyhouse (10/1) 25 days ago, though didn't settle and lost touch from 2 out. Yet to win in 24 career starts.

Gringo D'aubrelle (5/2), Banter At The Bar (9/2), Bigbraveboy (5/1), Evies Vladimir (11/1), Promontory (12/1), Casey West (12/1), Rokathir (14/1), Mighty Oak Lad (14/1), So They Tell Me (16/1), The Gradual Slope (18/1), Solly Attwell (20/1), Ceroc (20/1), Attaboyarchie (20/1), Hermino AA (22/1), Choccabloc (22/1), Kings Hill (28/1), Supreme Gift (33/1), Where's Frankie (66/1)

BANTER AT THE BAR proved a different proposition when winning on chasing debut at Punchestown 28 days ago, jumping fine and going on soon after 3 out. Open to improvement and making his handicap debut, he's fancied to follow up. Rokathir returns to chasing after probably needing his recent hurdles run following an 8-month absence. Choccabloc has improved in novice chases but must cut out serious mistakes.
