Dancing Jeremy²¹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-12| J: Philip Donovan⁽³⁾| T: J Fahey| OR: 126| C

4/1

Course winner who bounced back to form with the benefit of a recent run under his belt, albeit fortunate when landing 13-runner handicap chase at Thurles 3 weeks ago. May find life tougher up 4 lb but possibilities nevertheless.

Form: 2U1F/51

Rocky's Howya^v⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-3| J: Kevin Healy⁽⁷⁾| T: D Queally| OR: 117| C

8/11

Resurgent down in grade equipped with a visor, dominant in landing back-to-back claiming hurdles here and at Naas in recent weeks. Interesting back over larger obstacles in this groove.

Form: 0/U7311

West Cork Wildway²¹

Age: 12| Weight: 11-2| J: Luke Burke Ott⁽⁷⁾| T: P O'Flynn| OR: 116

10/1

Back to winning ways over hurdles at Cork (3m) in November and posted a good third in a C&D handicap chase over Christmas. However, not in same form on last 2 starts, running poorly in blinkers at Thurles latest. Headgear quickly discarded.

Gatsby Grey^p,t⁷⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: Phillip Enright| T: O McKiernan| OR: 114| C

8/1

Useful winner at 2m over hurdles who bettered previous chase exploits when sixth of 7 in novice chase at this course (17.6f, heavy) in December. Switch to handicaps in his favour now back up in trip.

Form: 50P/006

Grange Walk^b³⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 10-13| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁵⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 113| C

22/1

Proved disappointing in recent starts but he will find this more suitable than the listed assignment he faced at the Dublin Racing Festival last month. Operating from a workable mark if bouncing back.

Form: 23P890

Casey West²⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-4| J: Tiernan Power Roche⁽³⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 104

7/1

Hunter chase winner who ran to a fair level when runner-up at Fairyhouse (21.5f) in November. However, not in same form on last 2 starts, albeit possibly finding race coming too soon when pulled up at Gowran 26 days ago.

Form: 5P256P

Forecasts

Rocky's Howya (8/11), Dancing Jeremy (4/1), Casey West (7/1), Gatsby Grey (8/1), Cahirdown Boy (8/1), West Cork Wildway (10/1), Grange Walk (22/1)

ROCKY'S HOWYA has been resurgent equipped with a visor, readily landing back-to-back claiming hurdles in recent weeks. He gets the nod to continue the good work back over fences and complete the hat-trick. Dancing Jeremy and Cahirdown Boy are others fancied to be in the mix.
