Geoff Scally Centra Summerhill Beginners Chase

Bumper/maiden hurdle winner in 2024 but seen only sparingly since, possibly needed the outing when tenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (23f, good) when last seen this time last year. Amongst the form picks if ready on chase debut despite 12-month absence.

Handicap hurdle winner at Sligo last summer. Respectable fifth of 10 in similar race at Galway (2¾m, soft, 11/1). Worth market check making chase debut after 7 months off.

Fairly useful hurdler has remained in decent form since opening his Rules account at Thurles in December, running up to his best when sixth of 24 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (2m, good to soft) 30 days ago. Point winner makes chase debut back up to a trip that should suit.

Runner-up in 2 points. Won over hurdles at Downpatrick last April and finished second at Bellewstown later in the summer but was pulled up on his last 2 starts and is probably best watched making chase debut after 9-month break.

Won a Bellewstown maiden hurdle last August before scrambling home to defy a penalty at Kelso the following month. Out of depth in a Cheltenham Grade 2 next time and goes back up in trip for chase debut after 7 months off.

Progressed again to record a fourth success over hurdles in 17-runner handicap at Punchestown (23.5f) in last June. Returned from 6 months off to land a 15-runner Flat handicap at Cork (1½m, heavy) 28 days ago and he's interesting having a belated second try over fences (pulled up on debut in 2022).

Little solid form in bumpers and maiden hurdles. Had won in points (in Britain, for a different yard) but has offered very little in 2 hunter chases for this yard.

Landed a maiden hurdle at Cork in 2025/26 and shaped well despite being left with too much to do when 17 lengths second of 12 to Supersundae on chase debut here (2¾m) last month. Perhaps unsuited by the shorter trip when fourth at Killarney 3 weeks ago but she sets a decent standard nonetheless.

Fairly useful winner over hurdles but was down the field in 2 chase outings in the autumn. Others make more appeal after 7 months off.

Made it 2 wins from first 3 starts over hurdles when winning a 13-runner handicap at Limerick (2m, heavy, 25/1) in March, the race panning out well for him. Not in same at Bellewstown since and receives weight all round making quick switch to chasing (doesn't really have the pedigree of a chaser).
