Kinisla Handicap Chase

Completed a hat-trick when landing a 13-runner listed handicap at Killarney last season before running poorly next 2 starts. Bounced back to form with sights lowered when 3¾ lengths second of 11 to Blood Destiny at Galway on return in August. Looks yard's first choice on jockey bookings.

Good runner-up efforts at Punchestown in April and June. Finally off mark in handicaps in 10-runner listed race at Killarney (21f, good to soft, 9/4) 29 days ago, by ¾ from She's A Fine Wine, suited by a well-run race. Drops back in trip but should at least get the race run to suit again.

Fourteen runs since last win in 2024. Turned in best effort for some time when 8½ lengths second of 9 to Femme Magnifique at Killarney in July. Failed to back that up at Galway last time and has work to do.

Fairly useful winning hurdler. Unseated early on chasing debut in March, but took his form up a notch with a commanding success in maiden at Ballinrobe in May. 3/1, pulled up in novice chase at Killarney (17f, good) in July. Market may be the best indicator of what's expected now sent handicapping over fences.

Off mark over fences at Wexford in July 2025 and produced a good effort when third in big-field Punchestown handicap that December. Always behind on return at Kilbeggan in June. Lightly raced but may just need this.

Eleven runs since last win in 2025. Been kept busy this summer, going closest in minor event over hurdles at Kilbeggan when beaten 2 lengths into third on penultimate start. Carried no win threat in a better race than he need contest back chasing at Killarney last time. Others preferred.

Fairly useful hurdler who found 2m inadequate on chase debut at Tramore in May but stepped up on that significantly when second in novice at Wexford in June. Raced freely when fourth of 9 on handicap debut at Kilbeggan (2½m, good) in July. This is a much deeper race.

Fairly useful chaser. Won handicap at Kilbeggan (2½m) in May. Possibly the testing conditions too much in novice at Wexford 23 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Useful winning hurdler but has become disappointing over fences and ran what has become a typical race last time, folding before the last having made most.

Veteran who was well prepared to make a successful reappearance in this race last season. 33/1, shaped as if returned in good heart when fourth of 11 in handicap chase at Galway (2¼m, good to soft) in August, left poorly placed. Now needs to back that up.

Sixteen runs since last winning over hurdles in 2023. Made little impact in handicap hurdle at Sligo in July after a 7-month absence. Cheekpieces go back on. Runs from just out of the weights here though likely strong pace will suit back chasing.

Fairly useful winning hurdler who shaped as if laying a platform to build on first 2 chase outings, however, failed to improve sent handicapping in this sphere at Kilbeggan last time. Uphill task from out of the weights.
