BOYLE Sports Handicap Chase

Off time: 19:11 | Winning time: 6m 5.00s

Tullybeg^t⁴⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 11-12| J: Evan Nugent⁽⁷⁾| T: B McMahon| OR: 114| D

40/1

On a lengthy losing run and went with little encouragement at Kilbeggan in July. On a good mark but has never been one to rely on.

Form: 5P1-457

Brandt^t⁹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Carl Millar⁽⁵⁾| T: C Collins| OR: 113| BF

25/1

Borderline fairly useful stayer over fences in 2024/25. Shaped with a bit more encouragement than of late when 6½ lengths sixth of 16 on return to hurdling at Sligo (3¼m, soft) in June. Interesting if he can build on that 3 months later back chasing.

Form: P/0667-6

Tonaghneave Well^p⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 113

18/1

Borderline useful hurdler but yet to get near that form as a chaser, though fared better than previously in this sphere when third of 6 in beginners chase at Kilbeggan (25f, good) a couple of months ago.

Form: 669-893

Tell Us This^t²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Conor Stone-Walsh| T: A McNamara| OR: 111| C

13/2

Back to winning ways in 2¼m course handicap chase in July. Added to his patchy record in this sphere when tailed off at Tramore since and now heads back up in trip. His jumping remains a concern.

Form: 51-3515

Granville Street^p¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Eoghan Finegan⁽⁵⁾| T: Ciaran Murphy| OR: 110| C

6/1

Fairly useful winning hurdler who shaped with some encouragement when third of 8 in handicap at Kilbeggan (3¼m) on chasing debut recently. May do better if his jumping improves with experience, so he's one to consider.

Form: P670-43

Juke Hill^b²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Sam Ewing| T: G Elliott| OR: 104

16/1

Point runner-up who shaped as if he'd be a better chaser than hurdler when fourth of 14 in beginners chase at Wexford (19f, good to soft) on debut over fences in June. Struggling a long way out at Tramore last month, however.

Form: 557-847

Justatan^p,t³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Donagh Meyler| T: E Mullins| OR: 101

11/4

Successful on both starts in points (bred for stamina). Seemingly being brought along steadily under Rules, showing improved form in first-time cheekpieces when third of 18 in handicap hurdle at this course (3m, good to soft) just over 5 weeks ago. Very interesting chasing debutant.

Form: 5309-33

Oneforgonzo^p³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Phillip Enright| T: S Aherne| OR: 100

17/2

Kept mistakes to a minimum and confirmed return to form when winning 14-runner handicap chase at Killarney in May. Below that level since, producing a miserable display back over fences at Wexford last month. Questions to answer.

Form: 54-1504

That's About Right^p,t²²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Ross Sugrue⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 98

9/1

Hasn't shown his best for a while and continues to fall in the weights without showing much sign of taking advantage, merely passing beaten horses late on having gone in snatches when fourth at Tramore last month.

Form: 5P-0484

Nolans Rocco¹⁵⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁵⁾| T: Padraig Butler| OR: 97| D

12/1

Opened her account in 16-runner handicap chase at Limerick (23f) back in March, though very nearly threw it away having hung badly left run-in. Produced a miserable effort at Wexford the following month and has been off since.

Form: 74P21P-

Smallcraftwarning^t³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-9| J: Daniel King| T: J P Ryan| OR: 97| D

3/1

Has struggled to match the same consistency he showed in 2024/25 this season but got back to winning ways reverted to hurdling in 13-runner event at Kilbeggan (25f, good to soft) 3 days ago. Only 2 lb higher back chasing and fancied to make his presence felt.

Form: 204051

Forecasts

Justatan (11/4), Smallcraftwarning (3/1), Granville Street (6/1), Tell Us This (13/2), Oneforgonzo (17/2), That's About Right (9/1), Nolans Rocco (12/1), Juke Hill (16/1), Tonaghneave Well (18/1), Brandt (25/1), Tullybeg (40/1)

Cases can be made for several of these, and it could pay to take a chance on sole chasing-debutant JUSTATAN, who is bred for this discipline (successful on both starts in points) and upped his game when third over hurdles here at the Festival last month. Smallcraftwarning is only 2 lb higher than when scoring at Kilbeggan on Friday so he's most feared, ahead of Granville Street and Brandt.
