Capitalised on a lower hurdles mark to win over C&D in December but followed a respectable effort at Limerick with a lacklustre one at Gowran last time.

Won back-to-back handicap hurdles in July and while seemingly too high in weights subsequently, this step up in trip (in first-time hood) offers some hope for improvement, given his pedigree.

Progressing over fences, overcoming positional bias when easy winner of 13-runner handicap chase (5/1) at Punchestown (22.6f, heavy) 48 days ago, and could be potentially well-treated back over hurdles.

Reported to have bled when pulled up over fences in December, but prior to that he enhanced an excellent record at this track when winning 2m handicap hurdle in November and he has definite claims if back on song.

Placed in points but hasn't shown much since his hurdles debut at Leopardstown in December. Market should prove very informative now sent handicapping, his yard also saddling 3-time course winner St Denis's Well.

Forecasts

Showurappreciation (4/6), St Denis's Well (7/2), Chosen Diamond (6/1), Quest With Speed (12/1), Lady Bluebird (12/1), Vallon Du Plessis (12/1), Jerrari (33/1), Silver Salute (100/1)

Verdict

An easy winner over fences last time, SHOWURAPPRECIATION makes plenty of appeal from a significantly lower hurdles mark. St Denis's Well has a fine course record and should feature prominently if bouncing back, while the step up in trip could well suit the returning Jerrari.
