Won 2m chase at Tramore in August for Charles Coakley but ended his time with him below par and pulled up for new yard in 2m handicap hurdle at Clonmel in December. Back chasing with plenty to prove.

6/1

Off the mark over hurdles at Clonmel in February and recorded a creditable fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle there 24 days ago. Much respected on his chase debut.

33/1

Pulled up on chasing debut at Thurles (2¼m) and in 2m handicap hurdle at Clonmel on her last 2 runs. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 640-0PP

Finnicky Filly^t⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: Danny Gilligan| T: J P Ryan| OR: 79

10/1

Posted a solid fifth of 16 in 17f handicap hurdle at Clonmel 5 days ago. Encouraging fourth there in 17f handicap on her chasing bow in November so not out of things back in this sphere.

Form: PP8095

15/2

Thirty seven runs since his last win in 2023 and only eleventh of 14 in 3m handicap chase at Clonmel 24 days ago. Significantly down in trip.

Spanish Maid^p³³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁵⁾| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 75| BF

1/1

Gambled on and shaped well on her yard debut (formerly with Francis Flood) when second of 16 in 19f handicap chase at Wexford 33 days ago. Pulled clear of rest there so big shout off 3 lb higher mark in refitted cheekpieces.

Form: 00P482

La Tene²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Daniel King| T: J P Ryan| OR: 74

10/1

Fair maiden hurdler who came in a solid third of 16 in 19f handicap hurdle at Clonmel 24 days ago. Needs considering on her chase debut.

Form: 54/07P3

Forecasts

Spanish Maid (1/1), Courtbrack Boy (6/1), Zolpharine (15/2), Cerberus (10/1), Finnicky Filly (10/1), La Tene (10/1), Halsafari (11/1), Set The Tone (33/1), Itsalonglongroad (33/1), L'amiral Fromentin (50/1)

Something of a mixed bag here and this looks a very good opportunity for SPANISH MAID to build on the promise of her clear Wexford second and go one better for her new handler. Finnicky Filly appeals as the one to chase her home now back chasing ahead of fencing debutants Courtbrack Boy and La Tene.
