4/5

Useful chaser. Broke his maiden over fences here in November and improved further when 4¾ lengths second of 6 to C'est Ta Chance in Grade 3 novice at Thurles (21.5f, heavy, 22/1) in March. Faces the longest trip he's encountered to date and rates a big danger.

13/2

Has yet to add to her sole success over fences but was a good second on stable debut at Thurles in February before possibly finding the race coming too soon last time. Has work to do back up in grade over this longer trip. Engaged 3.15 Fairyhouse Saturday.

Forecasts

Nowwhatdoyouthink (4/5), Classic Getaway (13/8), Broomfield Bijou (13/2), Promontory (20/1)

Rarely a big field for this Grade 3 chase, so it's unlikely to put a premium on stamina, and the one-time high-class performer CLASSIC GETAWAY can open his account for the season. Nowwhatdoyouthink is the obvious choice for the forecast.
