Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Philip Byrnes| T: Brendan Walsh| OR: 100| BF

7/1

In excellent form over fences and runner-up at Limerick and Clonmel on his last 2 runs. Still low mileage and he's firmly one to be interested in now fitted with cheekpieces with the step up in trip also a likely positive.

Form: 5-32P22

Fair 3m winner over hurdles. Pulled up in handicap chase at Tipperary 9 months ago on his final run for John McConnell. Needs to hit the ground running for new yard.

Age: 11| Weight: 10-8| J: Sean Flanagan| T: E Sheehy| OR: 80

40/1

Temperamental sort. Well held when unseated rider last in handicap chase at Thurles 52 days ago. Back up in trip and easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 3P-U88U

Just For Yuse²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Patrick M O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: P Stafford| OR: 72

12/1

Not disgraced when sixth of 16 in 19f handicap chase at Wexford 26 days ago, left with too much to do. Needs to build on it if he's to gain a maiden chase victory and is upped significantly in trip here.

Forecasts

Tell Nobody Nothin (7/2), Plain Or Battered (4/1), A Year Older (5/1), Dinoland (5/1), Snow Punt (7/1), La Tene (7/1), Le Grand Vert (10/1), Hardy Diamond (11/1), Royal Time (11/1), Just For Yuse (12/1), Warmer Days Ahead (12/1), Hit The Frame (16/1), Sampoet (16/1), Cordal Boy (16/1), Hello Johnjoe (25/1), Mastermind (28/1), Ardaghs Choice (40/1), Tullabrack Lad (50/1)

SNOW PUNT has been knocking firmly on the door and gets a confident vote to gain a deserved breakthrough success here. Plain Or Battered is feared most on the back of a good Clonmel second, while both Tell Nobody Nothin and Le Grand Vert also need factoring in.
