Fakir D'Oudairiest30
Age: 11|  Weight: 11-12| J: Charlie O'Dwyer(5)| T: E Bolger| OR:  142
Nine wins from 32 NH runs. 18/1, respectable sixth of 14 in Glenfarclas Chase (Cross Country) at Cheltenham (29.2f, good) 30 days ago. Significantly down in trip and assessor has given him a chance returned to regulation fences.

The Banger Doyle50
Age: 10|  Weight: 11-4| J: Carl Millar(5)| T: J Queally| OR:  134
Thirteenth of 17 in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Thurles (16.5f, heavy) 50 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Switches from hurdles to chase and a good-value conditional is booked.

Brideswell Lad12
Age: 10|  Weight: 11-3| J: Michael Kenneally(5)| T: S Neville| OR:  133| C
Pretty good strike rate over fences and easy to excuse tenth of 15 in the Ulster National at Downpatrick (28.6f, soft) 12 days ago on account of being badly hampered. Significantly down in trip.

Fighting Fitp,t71
Age: 11|  Weight: 10-13| J: Gavin Brouder| T: J P Dempsey| OR:  129
While since he's shown anything of note over both sets of obstacles, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Thurles (22.6f, heavy) 71 days ago. Trainer going well but others more persuasive.

Latest win in chase at Ballinrobe in May. Just a respectable sixth of 10 in handicap chase at Listowel (22f, good to soft, 22/1), going in snatches. Off 6 months but has gone well fresh before.

Farmers Lodget1354

Won back-to-o back handicap hurdles in 2024 before pulling up in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (21f, soft) in April 2025. Off since but has an attractive chase mark to exploit if all is well.

A Wave Of The Sea68
Age: 10|  Weight: 10-7| J: Simon Torrens| T: J P Broderick| OR:  123
Latest win in chase at Kilbeggan in September. Below form fourteenth of 23 in handicap chase at Leopardstown (21.5f, soft, 40/1) 68 days ago. That was a rare poor effort and he's been freshened up since.

Bythesametokenp,t41
Age: 12|  Weight: 10-4| J: John Shinnick| T: R O'Sullivan| OR:  120| C
Well prepared to make a successful reappearance at Listowel in September. 12/1, fifth of 8 in handicap chase at Kelso (17.1f, soft) 41 days ago, left poorly placed so probably needs treating as though still in form.

Enjoying a resurgence late in his career, gaining second win of the season at Limerick 19 days ago by 2½ lengths from Caesar Rock, driven clear. Up 5 lb but clearly demands respect.

Didn't achieve a great deal despite finishing third of 8 in handicap chase at Limerick (17.8f, heavy) 29 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and this mark should be within range.

Unreliable type and Two wins from 41 NH runs but he didn't do a lot wrong when 2½ lengths second of 8 to Krabat in handicap chase at Limerick (19.6f, heavy) 19 days ago.

Cashed in on a lower hurdles mark at this course (16f, heavy) 24 days ago, forging clear. Switches from hurdles to chase and back up in trip. Just out of the weights but still one to consider.

Forecasts

Krabat (4/1), Caesar Rock (5/1), Supreme Jet (13/2), Dont Go Yet (7/1), Fakir D'Oudairies (8/1), Farmers Lodge (10/1), Bythesametoken (12/1), The Folkes Tiara (12/1), Flash De Touzaine (12/1), Watch The Weather (14/1), Union Park (16/1), A Wave Of The Sea (16/1), Fighting Fit (16/1), General Clermont (16/1), The Banger Doyle (20/1), Digby (25/1), Brideswell Lad (33/1)

Verdict

It could be worth siding with FARMERS LODGE, who is very low-mileage for veteran company and while he has a year-long absence to overcome, the assessor has given him a serious chance. Dont Go Yet and the classy Fakir D'Oudairies are potential threats.
