25/1

Third of 11 in handicap chase at Limerick (19.6f, soft, 25/1) 20 days ago, running on. Down another 1 lb and not without each-way hope.

Ballybrack Wood⁴⁷⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 98| C

10/1

Winner of a maiden chase here in October 2024 and, though limited to just 2 subsequent starts, he will be a threat off this mark if all is well following a 15-month absence.

Age: 11| Weight: 11-10| J: Niall Moore⁽⁵⁾| T: P Fenton| OR: 96| CD

9/1

C&D winner who put in a decent shift when runner-up at Thurles last month. However, good run of form came to an abrupt halt when tenth of 16 at Wexford (19.4f, heavy, 10/1) 34 days ago. Blinkers back on.

Ossifer Hops^p,t1¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Ethan O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: Bernard Crowley| OR: 92

28/1

Just the one win from 27 starts under Rules and put in his place when tenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Cork (3m, good to soft, 33/1) 15 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase and now tried in a tongue strap.

Form: 606PC0

Castle Croiuil¹⁰⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr J C Barry| T: D Leahy| OR: 88

22/1

Below his best when seventh of 14 in handicap chase at this course 109 days ago (let down by jumping) and likely to come up short once more.

Form: 7-76027

Oogum Boogum^p¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Carl Millar⁽⁵⁾| T: D Budds| OR: 85

7/1

Remains a maiden following 19 attempts but chase debut third of 16 in a Wexford handicap (19.4f, soft, 16/1) 10 days ago was encouraging. Place possibilities.

Form: 353703

Sense The Tension^t¹⁷⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-13| J: J J Slevin| T: Kenneth Daly| OR: 85

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden under Rules and will need to leave low-key maiden chase exploits well behind if he's to have a say on this handicap debut.

Form: 0/6U667

Toor Moon²²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-10| J: Liam Quinlan| T: Ms M Flynn| OR: 82

6/1

Remains a maiden following 35 runs overall but latest third of 14 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (2¾m, soft, 11/1) 22 days ago was a pretty solid effort. Runner-up on 3 of his 4 previous starts in this sphere and merits respect.

Form: 229483

Likable Chancer^v,t⁶⁹

Age: 12| Weight: 10-4| J: Daniel King| T: D Howard| OR: 76| BF| CD

22/1

C&D winner last summer and was placed a couple of times, including back here on New Year's Day, during the winter. Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Limerick (21f, heavy, 9/2) 69 days ago but will be a threat if he puts his best foot forward back over fences.

Form: 79833P

Cullenwaine^p⁶⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Shane O'Callaghan⁽⁵⁾| T: David O'Sullivan| OR: 74| D

10/1

Unreliable type who was beaten 40 lengths when tenth of 16 to Rideau Canal at Thurles (21.6f, soft, 8/1) 60 days ago. Readily passed over.

Another Ocana^p²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: Jack Kennedy| T: L J Archdeacon| OR: 84

14/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2024. Good fifth of 11 in handicap chase at Limerick (19.6f, soft, 9/1) 20 days ago but opposable on balance. Cheekpieces refitted. RESERVE.

Form: 608245

Opposite Ends⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Philip Byrnes| T: C Byrnes| OR: 87

11/10

Career best when winning a 14-runner handicap hurdle at Limerick (19.3f, heavy, 4/1) 4 days ago. Will have a serious chance (assuming he gets a run) if taking to fences at the first attempt. RESERVE.

Forecasts

Opposite Ends (11/10), Toor Moon (6/1), Oogum Boogum (7/1), Lake Chad (9/1), Cullenwaine (10/1), Ballybrack Wood (10/1), Long Road (10/1), Driveonwill (10/1), Rideau Canal (10/1), Another Ocana (14/1), Let Him B (16/1), Without Exception (20/1), Likable Chancer (22/1), Castle Croiuil (22/1), Teescomponentsyess (25/1), Ossifer Hops (28/1), Sense The Tension (33/1)

DRIVEONWILL shaped pretty well starting out over fences at Thurles last month and he could be the answer if able to build on that effort here. If Ballybrack Wood resumes in good heart back from over a year off he will be a serious contender having been given a helping hand by the assessor. The maiden Toor Moon is also shortlisted.
