Beasley Engineering Hunters Chase

Off time: 16:42 | Winning time: 6m 12.50s

Asphalt Cowboy^p¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 12-3| J: Mr P A King⁽³⁾| T: S G Carey| OR: 118| D

12/1

Staged a full-scale revival when landing a third hunter chase at Downpatrick 10 days ago, though looks vulnerable in a deeper race on the back of a quick turnaround.

Form: 023P5/1

Solitary Man^p²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 12-3| J: J M Halford⁽⁷⁾| T: E Bolger| OR: 136| D

9/4

Enhanced a fine Killarney record when winning a similar event by 1½ lengths from What Path last time. Worse off at the weights on this occasion, though has plenty of back class, and is expected to go well again with cheekpieces refitted.

Form: 14194/1

Big Interest²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr D Doyle⁽⁷⁾| T: D M Christie| D

16/1

Exited through no fault of his own at Punchestown last time but hadn't been seeing out his races in hunter chases prior to that.

Form: 8UP3U/4

Bartlemy Boy²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr J C Barry| T: Michael Barry| D

10/1

Fair hunter chase winner who won a small-field point before unseating early at Killarney last time, but he's probably up against it on these terms.

Form: 11256/U

Five Star Getaway^p³¹

Age: 12| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr J J Berry⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Berry| OR: 115| D

12/1

Very fortunate winner on hunter chase debut at Fairyhouse before finishing well held in the Champion Hunters Chase at Punchestown on his latest start.

Form: 234210/

In Excelsis Deo⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr S J Kenny⁽⁷⁾| T: E Bolger| OR: 130| D

18/1

Sixth past the post on hunter chase debut at Cork but subsequently disqualified (rider weighed in light), and while he's at least confirmed his wellbeing with victory in a small-field point since, stamina is the concern now stepping back up in trip.

Form: 2U22D/1

Ambitious Fellow^p³¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr G Devitt⁽⁷⁾| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 120| C

11/2

Runner-up in the Connacht National at Roscommon this time last year and matched that form when fifth in the Champion Hunters Chase at Punchestown latest. Not guaranteed to back up that form, but he's certainly the pick of these at the weights.

Form: 2UP445/

Call The Tune^p³⁰

Age: 12| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr J Ahern⁽⁷⁾| T: G Ahern| OR: 120| D

40/1

Winless in 7 starts in points prior to finishing a below-form sixth of 15 in the Cross County at Punchestown.

Form: P52246/

Heartbreak Weather³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr T Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss T L Cogan| D

16/1

Would have gone close to following up his success in a maiden point when falling 2 out on hunter chase debut at Punchestown, but he still has something to find at the weights.

Form: 442F1F/

Hunt Away^p⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr A Burke-Ott⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss M Harding| D

13/2

Nearly justified strong support when narrowly denied hunter debut at Cork in early-April. This is a deeper race, but he's less exposed than most in this sphere, and could run into a place with improvement.

Form: 536322/

What Path^t²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr J Dunne⁽⁷⁾| T: Ian O'Connor| OR: 129| D

9/2

Multiple point winner who travelled well when runner-up behind Solitary Man at Killarney on his hunter debut, and merits serious consideration, given he's better off at the weights with that rival.

Form: 1211S/2

Forecasts

Solitary Man (9/4), What Path (9/2), Ambitious Fellow (11/2), Hunt Away (13/2), Bartlemy Boy (10/1), Asphalt Cowboy (12/1), Five Star Getaway (12/1), Heartbreak Weather (16/1), Big Interest (16/1), In Excelsis Deo (18/1), Call The Tune (40/1)

AMBITIOUS FELLOW is the one to be with at the weights, for all it's no certainty that he backs up his Champion Hunter fifth. There wasn't much to separate Solitary Man and What Path at Killarney, and it may be a similar story here, while Hunt Away could hit the frame on just his second start in this sphere.
