SIS Supporting Irish Racing Handicap Chase

5YO plus | 2m 3f 120y | 8 Runners | Turf

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Brian Hayes| T: D H Kelly| OR: 126| CD

C&D winner who added to his tally at Punchestown in December. Last of 5 in minor event hurdle at Leopardstown 20 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase and will be a danger to all if he puts his best foot forward.

Form: P10125

Mystical Goddess^t⁸³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 123

Pulled up in handicap chase at Leopardstown (3m, good to soft) last time but she was placed on her first 3 starts in this sphere over similar trips to this. Place possibilities.

Form: 40-333P

Pride Of Place³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Simon Torrens| T: E Bolger| OR: 123

Doubled his tally over fences when landing a Listowel handicap in September. However, not in the same form since and a couple of the others are more appealing.

Form: 221999

Supreme Gift⁴²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Calum Hogan⁽⁵⁾| T: E McNamara| OR: 120| D

Out of sorts since winning at Market Rasen in November 2024 and he was beaten a fair way starting out for this yard at Navan last month.

Form: 71500-8

Miss Pronunciation^t⁴⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Mark Walsh| T: P Roche| OR: 116| C

Stamina seemingly stretched upped to 2¾m when fourth of 7 in handicap chase at Punchestown 46 days ago. Eased 2 lb and this drop back in trip looks a good move, so there's cause for optimism.

Form: 35-34P4

Krabat³⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 11-1| J: Cian Quirke| T: M J McDonagh| OR: 115| C| D

Successful here in December and he was a respectable second of 14 in a handicap hurdle at Gowran (2m, heavy) 36 days ago. 7 lb higher back in this sphere but he's not without each-way hope.

Form: 0-65172

Caesar Rock^p⁸³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: Charlie O'Dwyer⁽⁵⁾| T: M F Morris| OR: 114

Opened chase account at Tramore last summer and posted solid efforts in defeat at Cork (over hurdles) and back in this sphere at Leopardstown in December. Not the most reliable overall but certainly capable of playing a part in the finish.

Form: 14F834

Mount Frisco¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Daniel King| T: J P Ryan| OR: 112| BF| C

Successful in this sphere at Gowran and over hurdles at Clonmel in February. 10/3, good third of 13 in handicap chase back at Gowran (2m, heavy) recently and should make his presence felt once more.

Form: 564113

Forecasts

Mount Frisco (9/4), Krabat (4/1), Mystical Goddess (5/1), Miss Pronunciation (11/2), Caesar Rock (6/1), Linden Arden (7/1), Pride Of Place (20/1), Supreme Gift (25/1)

This drop back in trip will be a good move where MISS PRONUNCIATION is concerned and she could be the answer to this tricky-looking handicap. Linden Arden will be a big threat if on a going day and he is next on the list ahead of Krabat and Mount Frisco.
