Jerrari^p³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Simon Torrens| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 110| D

14/1

Won back-to-back handicap hurdles in cheekpieces last July and though yet to fire in either start this year, could be worth a market check with headgear back on.

Form: 1147P0

Kabylia^h¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 110| C

12/1

Strong-travelling sort promised more than she delivered in maidens last summer, though having likely needed the run on return at Fairyhouse last time, she could be worth another chance in a big-field handicap. Yard also saddles McLoughlin.

Form: 232230

Spinning Web^p,t²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Danny Mullins| T: Ms M Mullins| OR: 109| D

12/1

Back-to-back winner of handicap chases at Thurles last year but more miss than hit over fences of late, and it's hard to be confident with cheekpieces on for the first time over hurdles.

Form: 093PFF

Jazz Forever^p,t1⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Danny Gilligan| T: P W Flynn| OR: 108

40/1

Said to have had a breathing problem when pulled up at Bellewstown 6 days ago and turns out quickly in a first-time tongue strap (and refitted cheekpieces) for handicap hurdle bow.

Form: 9656-4P

Malbas^p1²⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr F R Buckley⁽⁷⁾| T: E Buckley| OR: 108| CD

33/1

Given a considerate introduction to chasing on reappearance and merits consideration in first-time cheekpieces back over hurdles, his 2 best efforts (including latest win) coming at this track.

Form: 410289

Malbay Madness^h¹⁷⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: P J O'Hanlon| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 108| CD

20/1

Successful both starts at track including in this race last year, and though he needs to bounce back from a couple of lesser efforts last autumn, his yard look to be turning a corner.

Form: 61-1U77

Jouster^t¹⁴⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Eoin Staples⁽⁵⁾| T: P W Flynn| OR: 105

33/1

Remains with little form for current yard and returns to hurdles following nearly 5 months off.

Form: 9P-0805

Lady Doyanne¹⁹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 105| D

10/1

Followed up point success when a well-backed winner on hurdle debut at Wexford, and while again failing to see out her race when fourth of 8 in a Punchestown handicap last October, it's too soon to dismiss one from an excellent yard.

Form: P1-104

Survivors Sister⁶²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Jack Gilligan⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Gilligan| OR: 105

22/1

Emphatically opened her account in testing conditions at Limerick but was presumably still feeling the effects of that performance when pulled up at Fairyhouse later in February. Not ruled out on the back of a short break.

Form: 42PF1P

Piccolo Player⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁵⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 104| BF| D

9/2

Arrives in better heart than recent form figures may imply and he'd likely have gone close for second barring a significant error on return to Limerick (scene of sole previous success) last time. Bold show expected back in a big-field handicap.

Form: 693564

Chanceawetmorning⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 102| BF

5/4

Ran his best race when second behind a lightly-raced one at Fairyhouse in January and though he failed to justify strong support on final start for Noel C. Kelly, it'll be no surprise to see him bounce back on first run for excellent new yard.

Form: 00-652P

Desert Haven^t¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Donagh Meyler| T: N Meade| OR: 102

6/1

Ran better than for a while over hurdles when fifth of 21 at Fairyhouse (soft) last time, doing best of those held up, and he could go close back in calmer waters.

Form: 232005

Jury Belle²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Philip Byrnes| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 102| D

33/1

Point bumper winner hit the frame in a couple of maidens before probably needing the run at Clonmel last time, though her opening mark demands more regardless.

Form: 243447

Mcloughlin^p,t1¹¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Conor Stone-Walsh| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 107

33/1

Fairly useful Flat maiden looks to have been brought along steadily by good yard, and with cheekpieces/tongue strap added for handicap debut, he looks a likely improver.

Form: 9960

Chanceawetmorning (5/4), Piccolo Player (9/2), Coolboy Christy (5/1), Desert Haven (6/1), Lady Doyanne (10/1), Kabylia (12/1), Spinning Web (12/1), Jerrari (14/1), Metamorpheus (16/1), Must Meet Cecil (16/1), Malbay Madness (20/1), Survivors Sister (22/1), Malbas (33/1), Jury Belle (33/1), Jouster (33/1), Mcloughlin (33/1), Jazz Forever (40/1)

PICCOLO PLAYER has been shaping better than his recent form figures suggest, and he's taken to record a second career success. Chanceawetmorning looks an interesting newcomer for the Gordon Elliott stable, while Desert Haven needs considering following his fifth in a very competitive race at Fairyhouse. Handicap debutant McLoughlin also makes appeal in receipt of a handy weight-for-age allowance.
