9/2

Useful winner at 20f over hurdles who has shaped with promise on both his runs in this sphere, third of 9 in novice chase at Leopardstown (21.3f, good) 49 days ago. Expected to be bang there with better still to come.

Form: 31P1/43

Soldier In Milan²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Donagh Meyler| T: E Mullins| C

13/8

Winning pointer/bumper who took a major step forward from his fencing bow when fourth of 9 in novice chase at Gowran (20f, heavy) 24 days ago, just losing out after two late errors. Seems sure to progress further. Player.

Form: 1/1-P4

Spread Boss Ted²⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Danny Mullins| T: W P Mullins

14/1

Useful winner at 20f over hurdles. Off 9 months but going with some promise (still in touch) when fell 3 out in novice chase at Navan (24f, heavy) on his debut over fences 29 days ago. Can do better.

Form: 61146/F

Supersundae³⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Brian Hayes| T: W P Mullins

11/1

Smart winning hurdler but he's been off the track for 11 months since being pulled up in Baring Bingham Hurdle at Cheltenham last March. Still commands respect though now starting out over fences for top yard.

Forecasts

Soldier In Milan (13/8), Kiss Will (13/8), Shuffle The Deck (9/2), Supersundae (11/1), Spread Boss Ted (14/1), Pray Tell (18/1), My Trump Card (50/1)

A few of these bring plenty of potential, not least Emmet Mullins' winning pointer SOLDIER IN MILAN who posted a useful effort on just his second chasing start when a close fourth at Gowran last time. This lightly-raced 7-y-o gets the nod over Shuffle The Deck, who also has better days ahead of him in this sphere, while Kiss Will, Pray Tell and Spread Boss Ted all command respect too in a fascinating beginners chase.
