Kilberry Handicap Chase

Off time: 16:53 | Winning time: 4m 47.60s

Moudan¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Eoghan Finegan⁽⁷⁾| T: Ciaran Murphy| OR: 122

7/2

Successful over fences at Limerick in December and unlucky to bump into a big improver back hurdling at Naas next time. Creditable fifth of 13 returned to this sphere at Gowran (2m, heavy) a fortnight ago and he's not without hope.

25/1

Back-to-back winer over fences at Thurles last March and creditable third off a 4 lb higher mark at Sligo in October. However, he was pulled up at Limerick 18 days later and is probably worth taking on back from a 5-month break.

Form: P-5093P

Park That^h⁷¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Mark Walsh| T: E Bolger| OR: 114

2/1

Steadily progressed as a hurdler, opening his account in that sphere at Kilbeggan last spring. Stepped up on previous chase efforts when third in a 2m Naas handicap on latest start in January and remains open to improvement over fences.

Form: 441-093

Stuntman Steve¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 114

18/1

Fairly useful 2m hurdles winner but there hasn't been much promise in his 3 starts over fences to date.

Someone's Wish^b⁶²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Paddy Cleary⁽⁷⁾| T: G Elliott| OR: 113| D

33/1

Winner of a Downpatrick maiden chase in 2024 and struck over hurdles there in October. Failed to fire in first-time blinkers (retained) at Thurles last time, though, and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 94-1888

Dont Tell Jack^h⁸⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Simon Torrens| T: E Bolger| OR: 111

7/1

This mark is an attractive one based on what he showed over hurdles during 2024/25 campaign but yet to shine in this sphere. Mark Walsh prefers Park That.

Form: 69-7007

Three In A Row²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Ricky Doyle| T: A L T Moore| OR: 109

7/2

Went close in a Punchestown handicap chase on New Year's Eve and again found just one too good at Naas in January. Tried in cheekpieces (discarded here) when sixth of 12 at Naas last time and he's one to consider.

Form: 047226

Kazakh D'arthel^h¹⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Flanagan| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 108| BF

5/1

Has had jumping issues but produced a largely error-free round when opening his account in a 4-runner Cork maiden chase in October. Wasn't in quite the same form when fourth of 12 in a Thurles handicap next time but merits respect all the same.

Form: UF-U414

Vallon Du Plessis¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Conor Stone-Walsh| T: Tom Dreaper| OR: 81

66/1

Just minor promise over hurdles and pulled up sole start between the flags. Readily passed over now switched to fences.

Form: 00-P6P7

Forecasts

Park That (2/1), Moudan (7/2), Three In A Row (7/2), Midnight Moonshine (5/1), Kazakh D'arthel (5/1), Dont Tell Jack (7/1), Stuntman Steve (18/1), Spinning Web (25/1), Someone's Wish (33/1), Vallon Du Plessis (66/1)

The vote goes to PARK THAT, who ultimately paid the price late on for a big move into contention around 3 out on his handicap debut over fences at Naas, eventually finishing a creditable third. His best days are surely still ahead of him and he is preferred to another JP McManus-owned contender in Three In A Row. Granted a clean round of jumping Kazakh d'Arthel should also be involved but this big drop back in trip is a worry where Midnight Moonshine is concerned.
