Brenda Anderson Memorial Handicap Chase (0-100)

Off time: 16:40 | Winning time: 5m 30.30s

Kalsman^h¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Keith Donoghue| T: L Lennon| OR: 100

25/1

Made all over hurdles at Down Royal in April. Good efforts when placed at Downpatrick on last 2 starts over fences, 11¾ lengths fourth of 12 to Sea Of Doubt in maiden on latest. Reverts to handicap company off a slightly higher mark and likely again playing for minor honours at best.

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Harry Sexton⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 96

11/1

In frame on 3 of last 4 starts over hurdles, shaping as if still in good form despite inadequate test when 10¾ lengths fourth of 14 to Costanuci in handicap at Listowel on latest. Not an obvious chaser on pedigree.

Form: 4P2044

Hurricane Honey^b⁶⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Kieren Buckley| T: S Cavanagh| OR: 95

12/1

Turned in best effort of the season with blinkers refitted when length third of 14 to Luimneach at Kilbeggan last time. 2 lb higher here but capable of being involved if on a similar going day.

Form: 720-703

Poppycon^p,t¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Donagh Meyler| T: E Doyle| OR: 94

20/1

Low-mileage maiden who has finished runner-up on a couple of occasions over hurdles but didn't take to chasing at the first attempt at Ballinrobe last time and has plenty to prove now.

Form: 2F-4200

Wing Back^h³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Phillip Enright| T: S Curling| OR: 92

11/8

Landed a gamble in maiden hurdle at Downpatrick last summer. Has yet to hit the same heights in 3 starts over fences, though left plenty to do when mid-division behind Driveonwill back at that course on latest. Very much one to note should the market speak in his favour.

Form: 3F0-967

Swing Time¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Aidan Kelly| T: V T O'Brien| OR: 91

5/1

Poor maiden hurdler who showed much improved form when winning 23f handicap chase at Ballinrobe 19 days ago by 20 lengths from Mistyburn. Up 13 lb and profile is patchy, but he's likely to be very hard to beat if turning in a performance of a similar ilk here.

Form: 858P-61

Island Mccoo^t⁵⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: Niall Moore⁽⁵⁾| T: D Duggan| OR: 89

12/1

Scored over hurdles at Kilbeggan in June. Creditable fourth of 14 in handicap chase at same course (2½m, good) in July but met trouble when below that form at Roscommon last time.

Form: 421845

Dunany Point^p³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Jordan Gainford| T: Conor Maxwell| OR: 85| D

20/1

On a losing run stretching back 14 outings and turned in best effort of the season when third of 13 to Farrokh in handicap at Wexford in July. Failed to back that up next time and last effort easily excused. Others preferred.

Form: 9-0P37C

Mobile Mamma^b1,t³³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Sam Ewing| T: Ian Donoghue| OR: 85| BF

14/1

Second to subsequent winner Ladies Well on return reads positively in the context of this race. Not as good back hurdling since but wasn’t disgraced despite failing to justify support behind Luna Run at Fontwell last time. One to consider back over fences in first-time blinkers.

Form: 1/53-203

Andyourbirdcansing²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁵⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 84| CD

14/1

Inconsistent performer who took advantage of reduced mark when landing handicap hurdle at this track last month. Below form since and isn't easy to catch right but returns to chasing having slipped back down to last winning mark. Claims if able to keep jumping errors to a minimum.

Form: 565100

Brother Hollie^t²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Philip Byrnes| T: M M McNiff| OR: 92

12/1

Placed once from 8 starts over hurdles, though it did at least come at this course. Doesn't appeal as an obvious chasing type.

Form: 667-830

Malton Groove^p,t⁴¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: Alix Balfe⁽⁷⁾| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 80

28/1

Long-standing maiden who posted best effort for some time when second at Downpatrick in June. Not in the same form next 2 starts, though was keeping on in fourth (albeit unlikely to trouble the first 2) when falling 2 out at Killarney last month. Others still preferred.

Form: P-7236F

U Asking Me^b,t⁴⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: Kevin Healy⁽⁷⁾| T: E Doyle| OR: 78

28/1

Clonmel hurdle winner who finished placed on 2 of his 3 starts over fences last summer but has been out of sorts in both spheres this season.

Form: 3-7P08F

Set The Tone^t¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Josh Williamson⁽³⁾| T: D M O'Brien| OR: 77

12/1

Landed 3m Wexford handicap hurdle in July and took a step forward from previous chasing starts when 4¾ lengths second of 13 to Fr Gilligansvoyge (winner again since) at Tramore following month. Needs to bounce back from a poor run last time, but would have place claims if doing so.

Form: P21620

Three Tribes^t¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-1| J: Evan Nugent⁽⁷⁾| T: B T Murphy| OR: 73

66/1

Hasn't shown a great deal over hurdles or 3 starts over fences.

Form: 0P1-PP9

Forecasts

Wing Back (11/8), Swing Time (5/1), Cornaroya Rocco (11/1), Island Mccoo (12/1), Brother Hollie (12/1), Set The Tone (12/1), Hurricane Honey (12/1), Andyourbirdcansing (14/1), Mobile Mamma (14/1), Dunany Point (20/1), Poppycon (20/1), Kalsman (25/1), U Asking Me (28/1), Malton Groove (28/1), Three Tribes (66/1)

SWING TIME was impressive last time and is taken to defy a hefty rise in another ordinary handicap chase. Mobile Mamma hasn’t really kicked on from her stable debut/return, but that form stands up well and the return to chasing could spark a revival. Hurricane Honey returned to form last time and can be involved if backing up that performance here.
