Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 127| C

3/1

Useful winner at 17f over hurdles. Yet to reach that level over fences but goes handicapping now and likely has more to offer.

Form: 260/054

11/2

Matched pick of his hurdling form when winning 12-runner novice chase at Down Royal (20.6f, good to soft, 9/1) 50 days ago, kept up to work. Sent handicapping now and remains open to improvement.

4/1

Sixth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.2f, good to soft, 18/1) on hurdles bow 45 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Cheekpieces back on. Not out of things.

Form: 1541/9-6

Dont Go Yet¹²

Age: 12| Weight: 11-5| J: Eoin Walsh| T: E Cawley| OR: 120

33/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Tenth of 14 in handicap chase at Leopardstown (17f, soft, 33/1) 12 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 22/3450

Happy Dreams³⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: M J McDonagh| OR: 115| D

15/2

2 wins from 4 runs this season. Latest win in chase at Limerick in December. Respectable sixth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (20.8f, heavy, 9/1) 34 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. One of likelier contenders.

Form: 73/1216

Casey West^p⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-4| J: Tiernan Power Roche⁽³⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 105

6/1

Not disgraced when sixth of 17 in handicap chase (12/1) at Navan (24f, heavy) 6 days ago. Figures off a handy mark and drop back in trip looks a good move. Respected.

Form: 4/5P256

Mighty Jeremy^h,t³⁴

Age: 12| Weight: 10-1| J: Simon Torrens| T: P T Foley| OR: 102| D

17/2

Fair winner at 20f over hurdles. 9/1, below form third of 12 in novice chase at Punchestown (22.6f, heavy) 34 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. Improvement required.

8/1

Twenty one runs since last win in 2024. Respectable fourth of 16 in handicap chase (11/2) at Thurles (18f, heavy) 9 days ago. Can make presence felt.

Age: 10| Weight: 10-1| J: Phillip Enright| T: E Cawley| OR: 102| D

12/1

One win from 25 NH runs. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Below form fourteenth of 23 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (20.7f, good, 50/1) 48 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Work to do.

Form: 6PP/470

Forecasts

Beckett Rock (3/1), Klass Langy (4/1), Slanagaibhgoleir (11/2), Casey West (6/1), Happy Dreams (15/2), Mount Frisco (8/1), Mighty Jeremy (17/2), Petit King (12/1), Soloman Lane (14/1), Dont Go Yet (33/1)

This can go to SLANAGAIBHGOLEIR, who opened his account over fences at Down Royal over Christmas and likely has more to offer yet. Beckett Rock and Casey West rate the principal dangers.
