Small Bucks^h,t1⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Eoghan Finegan⁽⁷⁾| T: P E Collins| OR: 98| D

18/1

Won a handicap hurdle at Cork last July but has struggled since, pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Leopardstown in March when taking a strong hold and dropping away quickly 2 out. Tongue tie tried now.

Form: 8180-PP

Grey Gardens¹⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Philip Donovan⁽³⁾| T: P Nolan| OR: 97

25/1

Well held at Navan in December but better judged on previous form now going handicapping after a break and suspect he can do better.

Form: 0/830-

Portetta¹²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Elizabeth Gale⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 94

22/1

Maiden hurdler pulled up on handicap debut at Limerick (28/1) last December. Improvement needed.

Form: 3/2538P-

Truckers Cruising^t¹²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Kevin Healy⁽⁷⁾| T: G Elliott| OR: 93| D

6/1

Won impressively over fences at Ayr last December but failed to build on it, sixth of 14 in a handicap chase at Limerick (18/1) latest. Potentially well treated back over hurdles after 129 days off.

Form: 5F01U6-

Justicialism^p,t²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Carl Millar⁽⁵⁾| T: N C Kelly| OR: 92

9/2

Second of 11 in a handicap hurdle here 22 days ago, stepping up markedly from his first start for the yard. On a long losing run but is a big player if building on that down in trip.

Form: 08-PP22

Leitzel⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Eoin Walsh| T: S McParlan| OR: 92

50/1

Without a win in 20 starts and well held in handicap at this course (66/1) 48 days ago on debut for current trainer after 8 months off. Looks up against it.

Form: P/300-00

Soldier Saint¹⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Shane O'Callaghan⁽⁵⁾| T: Mark E McCrory| OR: 92

3/1

Runner-up in a bumper for Nicky Henderson last March but well beaten in maiden hurdles and again in a Fairyhouse handicap (100/1) last December. First run for another new trainer.

Form: 92/0900-

Gforcejenny^t²¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Kieren Buckley| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 97

16/1

Fair maiden on the Flat and some encouragement in juvenile hurdles last year. Off 212 days and makes handicap debut. Watch the betting.

Form: 636-

Harley Street^p,t¹⁰⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: James Smith⁽⁵⁾| T: Ian Donoghue| OR: 91

11/1

Yet to win over jumps and fell here over fences in January but has fallen to a tempting mark on the pick of his form. Returns to hurdles with cheekpieces back on.

Form: 09030-F

Is She Now⁸²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Niall Moore⁽⁵⁾| T: V C Ward| OR: 87

50/1

Maiden in various disciplines and has been out of sorts. Lightly raced in handicap hurdles but may need more of a test than this will provide.

Form: 8/05860-

Tellmemamema¹¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Tom Buckley| T: E Buckley| OR: 84

80/1

Bred to need time and distance and has finished down the field in 3 maiden hurdles.

Form: 80-00

Lejolicoeur Du Mou^p1⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Ben Harvey| T: J P Dempsey| OR: 82

11/1

Better efforts in 17f handicaps the last twice (well backed when seventh of 22 at Cork latest). Now goes in cheekpieces and might want a stiffer test.

Form: U0-6677

Michael's Jet¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Ben Kennedy⁽⁷⁾| T: V C Ward| OR: 82

80/1

No form in maidens/handicap hurdle.

Form: PP00PP

Powerful Rosie³²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Mike O'Connor| T: Liz Doyle| OR: 87

18/1

Maiden who fared better than previously over hurdles tackling a handicap for the first time when sixth of 16 at Clonmel 32 days ago. More needed still.

Form: 00-5566

Crypto Crash¹¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: John Shinnick| T: D Budds| OR: 80

40/1

Yet to win under either code and pulled up on handicap hurdle debut at Clonmel (40/1) in January. Back after a 116-day absence and hard to fancy.

Form: 000-PP

Bella Union^p¹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-7| J: Dylan Kidd⁽⁷⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 79| D

8/1

Finally opened his account when taking a 16-runner handicap at Bellewstown 16 days ago. Raised 5 lb and no banker to back that up.

Form: 990011

Move It On Over²⁶⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Gavin Brouder| T: John F O'Neill| OR: 78

33/1

Offered more than previously when eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe in August but another who probably wants a greater test of stamina.

Form: 0798-

Chesterbaylad¹⁰²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Harry Sexton⁽⁷⁾| T: Ms H P Markham| OR: 75

15/2

Fifth in this last year off 18 lb higher but that is very much a standout effort over hurdles.

Form: 8P09-00

Tea It Is^p,t²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Ethan O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 72

20/1

Never won in 21 starts and has been expensive to follow. Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Cork 28 days ago on first run after 6 months off, hit fifth and lost place quickly.

Form: 3740-PP

Forecasts

Soldier Saint (3/1), Justicialism (9/2), Truckers Cruising (6/1), Lakefield Flyer (7/1), Chesterbaylad (15/2), Bella Union (8/1), Lejolicoeur Du Mou (11/1), Harley Street (11/1), Gforcejenny (16/1), Small Bucks (18/1), Powerful Rosie (18/1), Tea It Is (20/1), Portetta (22/1), Grey Gardens (25/1), Kilt (25/1), Move It On Over (33/1), Light Her Up (33/1), Crypto Crash (40/1), Stay In The Game (40/1), Leitzel (50/1), Is She Now (50/1), Tellmemamema (80/1), Michael's Jet (80/1)

JUSTICIALISM stepped up markedly when second over further here 3 weeks ago and might be able to end his long losing run if building on that. Harley Street and Truckers Cruising are both potentially well treated returning over hurdles after breaks and need considering.
