The Electrical Kid¹³²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 123| BF

5/1

Possibly unsuited by a return to further when third of 7 in novice chase (8/11) at Downpatrick (19.4f, good to soft) in October. Drops back in trip and well worth another chance to build on earlier promise.

Form: 047137

Cappucino^t⁴⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Flanagan| T: Liz Doyle| OR: 112

9/2

Promising sort. Very good ¾-length second of 9 to Rockbrook in novice chase at Tramore (15.8f, soft, 7/2) 49 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Makes handicap chase debut. Has to be taken seriously.

Form: 60/85B2

Forecasts

River Vale (7/2), Cappucino (9/2), The Electrical Kid (5/1), Rockbrook (13/2), West Cork Wildway (7/1), Glenashling (8/1), Dancing Jeremy (10/1), Splashing Out (14/1), In The Trenches (14/1), Pride Of Place (16/1), Prince Of Air (16/1), Freddie Robdal (18/1), Broomfield Bijou (22/1), Maidenstreetprince (22/1), That's About Right (25/1)

CAPPUCINO went as close as he has over fences at Tramore 7 weeks ago and remains capable of better judged on his hurdling exploits. The free-going The Electrical Kid is worth another chance back down in trip, with hat-trick seeking Rockbrook another to consider.
