BOYLE Sports Supporting Irish Racing Veterans Handicap Chase

10YO plus | 2m 3f 100y | 17 Runners | Turf

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.

Form: 40-2346

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.

Form: 4U8660

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.

Form: 16-P450

Fighting Fit^p,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.

Form: 3-8505P

Flash De Touzaine^p,t¹⁹⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 10-12| J: James Smith⁽⁵⁾| T: Liz Doyle| OR: 128

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.

Form: 16-1406

Watch The Weather^t¹⁷³

Age: 10| Weight: 10-11| J: Jack Kennedy| T: R P Cody| OR: 127| C| D

C&D winner in October 2024 and also successful at Punchestown a month later. Wasn't at the top of his game when last seen in the autumn, though.

Form: 585838

The Folkes Tiara^p1,t¹⁰⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 10-10| J: Mike O'Connor| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 126

Seventh of 20 in handicap chase at Leopardstown (17f, good, 14/1) 105 days ago. Cheekpieces on for first time fairly late in his career.

Form: 0-P8677

Farmers Lodge^t1³⁵⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 10-9| J: Mr F Maguire| T: B Connell| OR: 125| D

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.

Form: 14/411P-

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.

Form: 318040

Bythesametoken^p,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.

Form: 443-135

Krabat¹⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 10-4| J: Cian Quirke| T: M J McDonagh| OR: 120| D

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.

Form: 651721

Union Park^t⁷¹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-4| J: Tiernan Power Roche| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 120| D

Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Below form sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (22.6f, heavy) 71 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase.

Form: 66-6746

Digby^p,t²⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 10-1| J: Liam Quinlan| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 117

Heavy defeat in handicap hurdle at this course (2m, heavy) 24 days ago won by Dont Go Yet, beaten 4 out. Switches from hurdles to chase and back up in trip with cheekpieces back on.

Form: 06460P

Supreme Jet^p²⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Phillip Enright| T: O McKiernan| OR: 116

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.

Form: P-42443

Caesar Rock^p¹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Josh Williamson⁽⁵⁾| T: M F Morris| OR: 115| C

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.

Form: 4F8342

Dont Go Yet^p²⁴

Age: 12| Weight: 10-0| J: Philip Donovan⁽³⁾| T: E Cawley| OR: 115| C

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.

Form: 345071

General Clermont¹⁷³

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Reserve 1| T: D E Fitzgerald| OR: 112| C

Thirteen runs since last win in 2024. Sixth of 9 in handicap chase at Limerick (19.2f, heavy, 13/2) 173 days ago. RESERVE.

Form: 032926

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)

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.
