Chanceawetmorning¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Josh Williamson⁽⁵⁾| T: G Elliott| OR: 118

9/2

Made it 2-2 for Gordon Elliott when winning 11-runner handicap at Clonmel (17f, good) 16 days ago. Back up in trip. A further 7 lb rise demands improvement but no surprise were he to find it.

Form: 652P1/1

Hamsiyann^p1,t²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Kevin Sexton| T: A J Martin| OR: 118

28/1

Back to his best when second of 6 in 2½m Newcastle handicap in November. Shaped as if still in good form when fourth at Kempton (21f) on Boxing Day but well held at Aintree Grand National meeting and back on the Flat at Chester since.

High Court Cave²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr O McGill⁽⁵⁾| T: N C Kelly| OR: 118

3/1

Point/bumper winner who finished second in a competitive 20-runner race at the Galway Festival (2¾m) prior to landing the odds in a Downpatrick (2¼m) maiden last September. Returned from a break with creditable seventh of 24 at Punchestown (2m) 29 days ago and interesting stepping back up in trip.

Garnacho^t¹³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Thomas O'Connor⁽⁷⁾| T: M Fahey| OR: 115| D

7/1

Landed gamble on stable debut at Bellewstown (20.5f) last July. Respectable seventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (21f, heavy) when last seen in January.

Form: 731087/

Elusive Ogie¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Daniel King| T: E McCarthy| OR: 114

6/1

Winner of a maiden hurdle at Limerick a year and proving pretty consistent in handicaps since. 1½ lengths down and closing when stumbled/fell 2 out at Killarney (2½m, good to soft) 19 days ago. Has a race in him from this mark.

Form: 13359/F

Tir Og²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: John Shinnick| T: E Seymour| OR: 113

40/1

Enjoyed a fruitful campaign in 2025/26, winning 3 times and placed on 4 occasions. Out of depth in listed mares race at Killarney 21 days ago. This more realistic but looks in the grip of the handicapper at present.

Form: 15038/7

Falco Blitz¹⁹

Age: 12| Weight: 11-4| J: Calum Hogan⁽⁵⁾| T: E McNamara| OR: 110| D

16/1

Returned from long absence to finish creditable third of 12 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (2½m, good to soft, 33/1) 19 days ago. Claims if he can build on that.

Form: 10D54/3

Therellbguddaysyet^b1¹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: Gary Noonan| T: P O'Flynn| OR: 108

14/1

6/1, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (2½m, good to soft) 19 days ago, barely adequate test. Blinkers on first time. Others are preferred kept to this trip.

Form: 03764/5

Earl Neigh¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Philip Byrnes| T: A Slattery| OR: 107

33/1

Has never stood much racing and pulled up on handicap debut at Sligo (3¼m, good to soft) 18 days ago. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 4536/P

Bop Wont Stop²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Aidan Kelly⁽³⁾| T: R Sweeney| OR: 106

18/1

Off 14 months, left impression he should have finished closer when creditable fourth of 15 in handicap at Cork (19f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Enters calculations.

Form: P3006/4

One And Only^b⁵⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Phillip Enright| T: O McKiernan| OR: 105| D

25/1

Latest win at Limerick in March. Respectable eighth of 16 in handicap at Cork (3m, good to soft, 17/2) since. Blinkers back on.

Form: 0P3P18/

Big Dispute²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Alan O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: Kevin Coleman| OR: 104| BF

8/1

Fair maiden hurdler. Creditable third of 8 in novice at Cork (17f, good to soft) 20 days ago. The return to 2½m promises to be in his favour.

Form: 60233/3

Rockonliam^t¹⁵³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 102| D

9/2

Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Good fourth of 23 in handicap at Leopardstown (21f, good) when last seen in December. Has the odd quick but there is little doubt he has the ability to win off this sort of mark.

Form: 631634/

Forecasts

High Court Cave (3/1), Rockonliam (9/2), Chanceawetmorning (9/2), Elusive Ogie (6/1), Garnacho (7/1), Big Dispute (8/1), Therellbguddaysyet (14/1), Falco Blitz (16/1), Bop Wont Stop (18/1), One And Only (25/1), Hamsiyann (28/1), Earl Neigh (33/1), Tir Og (40/1)

ELUSIVE OGIE was closing in second when coming down two out at Killarney earlier in the month and is taken to gain compensation from the same mark. The return to 2½m is sure to suit High Court Cave and Noel Kelly's charge is second choice ahead of fellow unexposed 6-y-os Rockonliam and Bop Wont Stop.
