Kevin Ross Bloodstock Handicap Chase (0-100)

Won novice hunter at Tipperary on chasing bow but hasn't built on that since, including in open handicap company, though ran one of his better efforts in this sphere when 17¾ lengths fourth of 11 to Dinoland at Tramore last time.

Twelve runs since last win in 2023 and hasn't made much of an impact this season. Hard to fancy.

On long losing run but ran as well as he has for a while 16½ lengths fourth of 10 to Journey So Far in maiden chase at Tramore last time, albeit typically not fluent. Claims if putting in a clear round of jumping.

Fair maiden chaser who hasn't pulled up any trees in a couple of start over hurdles of late. Something to prove now back over fences.

Winning hurdler/chaser who showed first form since returning from a lengthy absence in December when 20¼ lengths sixth of 11 to Dinoland at Tramore last time. Left impossible task that day and potentially thrown in if building on that, with yard back among the winners of late.

Runner-up 4 times in handicap hurdles in 2025/26 but didn't take to chasing on sole attempt. On a good mark but needs to prove her effectiveness in this sphere.

Remains a maiden after 31 runs and not a lot of encouragement to be gleaned from his most recent starts. Hard to fancy.

Scraped home when opening his account over 3m here on good to firm ground last summer but was below his best on return from a 7-month absence at Cartmel and, given his quirks, remains a tricky one to assess at present.

Winner over hurdles at this course in 2024/25 and twice placed over fences here early last season, though lost his way afterwards and there wasn't much promise to be gleaned from his run here last month.

Clonmel handicap hurdle winner who got back on track over fences when third of 7 at Wexford last summer. Probably needed run when never better than mid-field back over hurdles 15 days ago and potentially has more to offer in this sphere, if staying this longer trip. Wears first-time blinkers.

Remains a maiden after 38 runs and well beaten on last 3 starts, including over both hurdles and fences at this course.

Inconsistent veteran that is on a losing run stretching back over 3 years but posted best effort for some time when 3¼ lengths second of 10 to Menas Miracle in handicap chase at Tramore last time. Not sure to be in same form, though, and races from 3 lb out of the handicap.
