GUY Clothing & KODE Clothing & Footwear Handicap Chase

Chase winner at Clonmel in December and went close at Navan 2 weeks later. Out of sorts this spring (back over hurdles last time) so bit to prove now in first-time cheekpieces.

Still a maiden after 11 chase runs but he was back to something like his best when a neck second in a 7-runner novice chase at Limerick (2¼m, heavy) over Christmas. Back from a break with cheekpieces on 1st time.

Won a couple of novice hurdles at Clonmel last summer and was progressing gradually over fences until a poor run at Leopardstown over Christmas. Faded late as if needing the outing when fifth at Wexford 3 weeks ago and he's interesting going back up in trip with trainer still in good form.

C&D winner last summer but poor efforts vastly outnumber good ones since then.

Dual hurdles winner last summer and he's taken pretty well to chasing (unseat on debut not his fault), keeping on well into second in a 14-runner novice at this course (2½m, good) 16 days ago. Makes handicap debut from workable mark.

Winless since 2023 and he had seemingly completely lost his form when last seen in the autumn. Easy to oppose after 6 months off.

Fair winner at 19f over hurdles and off the mark over fences at the fifth attempt at Kelso last April. Held back by his jumping when fourth of 5 in handicap chase at Cartmel (25f, heavy) in June and others look more solid propositions on return from 11 months off.

Fairly useful chase winner for Gordon Elliott in 2023 but no great shakes in hunter/handicap chases for this yard last summer. Plenty to prove after 11 months off.

A while now since his last win but shaped as if retaining all ability after 7 months off when fourth of 11 in handicap chase at Limerick (2½m, good, 5/1) 10 days ago. Frame claims again.

Looked like making a winning start for Gordon Elliott in handicap chase at C&D last month, 5 lengths clear at the last only to find little and allow 2 rivals to pass him on the run-in. Might've found the race coming too soon a little over a fortnight on last time and he's worth another chance.

Veteran is a while without a win and he was soundly beaten on his return from 5 months off at Limerick 10 days ago.

Hasn't scored since 2023 but he was beaten only half a length into second at Down Royal (20.7f, heavy) in January. Ran poorly at Thurles 2 weeks later, though, and returns from 4 months off for new yard (left Desmond McDonogh).
