William Hill Each Way Extra Challenge Series Beginners Chase

5YO plus | 2m 4f 63y | 11 Runners | Turf

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Tiernan Power Roche⁽³⁾| T: P J Rothwell| D

Under a change of tactics, career best effort when making all in 20-runner handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.5f, soft, 6/1) in November. Made the frame on completed start in points and he's one to note on chasing debut.

Form: 29-4961

Find A Fortune²⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Jordan Gainford| T: G Elliott| OR: 118| D

Fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles who was returning from 11 months off when sixth of 9 in handicap at Fairyhouse (24f, soft, 14/1) 29 days ago. Could take a step forward from recent outing as he goes chasing.

Form: 3/2310-6

Great Universe^t⁶⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Ricky Doyle| T: M Brassil| C

Improved over hurdles last season but has failed to complete in 2 chase starts this term. However, he showed up well for a long way before refusing at the second last in maiden at Navan (20.7f, heavy, 66/1) in December.

Form: 3/015-FR

Icare D'aubrelle^h⁴²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Daniel King| T: T Cooper

Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. However, well held on completed start in chases this season and pulled up in handicap hurdle at Tramore (16.8f, soft, 8/1) 6 weeks ago. Others more persuasive back over fences.

Form: 51-9P4P

Maidenstreetprince⁶⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Shane Fitzgerald| T: C Byrnes| OR: 125

Ran well when third in handicap at Killarney (17f, good to soft) in July but failed to repeat that effort next time, before falling back over hurdles at Navan in December. He's capable of getting involved in this contest, though.

Form: 3-F533F

Mickie Angel¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Philip Donovan⁽³⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 116| D

Placed twice over fences for current yard this season, good second in handicap at Limerick in December. Shaped as if still in form when sixth of 11 in handicap at Naas (20f, heavy, 15/2) 18 days ago, so he could be in the mix.

Form: 5-F3726

Onlymammycanloveme²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: J J Slevin| T: S Neville| OR: 115| C

Successful sole outing in points and fair winner at 19f over hurdles. Ran much better than on chasing debut when third of 11 in maiden at Fairyhouse (16.2f, heavy, 22/1) 28 days ago, but will need to find more again here.

Form: 14F-093

Strutter^h⁴¹²

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

Made a winning start in handicap hurdles for Nicky Henderson and, after 7 months off, followed up on stable debut in 11-runner event at Limerick (20f, soft, 2/1) in December 2024. Could be able to land the hat-trick sent chasing.

Form: 4207/11-

Three County Star²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Ben Harvey| T: B Mortell

No better than mid-division over hurdles, eighth of 16 in handicap at Fairyhouse (20f, heavy, 50/1) on latest outing 28 days ago. Looks to be up against it making chase debut.

Form: 089088

Love Like This²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁵⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 86

Modest form in chases, making the frame twice from 4 starts in handicaps this season. In first-time blinkers, unseated rider fifth in handicap hurdle at Limerick (15.7f, heavy, 13/2) 2 days ago. Difficult task back over fences.

Form: 63P46U

Neon Diamond^p³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott

Fair winner at 23f over hurdles and ran to a similar level sent chasing when fourth of 7 in maiden at Naas (20.1f, soft, 33/1) a month ago. Enters calculations with more to offer in this sphere.

Form: 3P-1454

Forecasts

Maidenstreetprince (2/1), Strutter (5/1), Neon Diamond (6/1), Mickie Angel (6/1), Billy Lee Swagger (13/2), Great Universe (7/1), Onlymammycanloveme (10/1), Find A Fortune (12/1), Icare D'aubrelle (16/1), Love Like This (50/1), Three County Star (66/1)

Preference is for STRUTTER, who made it back-to-back wins over hurdles when scoring on first start for Willie Mullins in a Limerick handicap in December 2024. Back from 13 months off he can continue his progress sent chasing and is taken to see off the challenge of Maidenstreetprince, who is respected back over fences, with Neon Diamond also considered.
