Fethard Beginners Chase

Useful bumper winner. Travelling well when falling 3 out in Leopardstown maiden on sole hurdle start. Off 7 months, showed up well for long way when sixth of 12 in strong Punchestown maiden on chase debut in November. Off again since. Open to improvement.

Fair hurdler. First run since leaving Philip Rothwell when unseating third on Downpatrick chase debut 16 days ago.

Useful sort who wasn't disgraced when midfield in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham last time. Needed experience when only seventh on previous chase start last spring. Should do better.

Useful hurdler. Failed to stay 3m when eighth of 21 in Leopardstown handicap at the Dublin Racing Festival. Drops back significantly in trip for chase debut. Player.

Modest maiden hurdler who would be a surprise winner on chase debut.

Fairly useful hurdler but in the process of running below form when unseating 3 out on Thurles chase debut in November. Off since.

Modest maiden hurdler who was pulled up on last month's chase debut. Outsider.

Fairly useful hurdler who landed back-to-back handicaps last summer but has been down the field in 2 maiden chases since returning from a break (hampered last time).

Useful hurdler who was in good form when last seen in the autumn. Leading claims if taking to chasing back from 165 days off.
