Ryans Cleaning Handicap Chase (0-100)

Underlined positive start for current stable when winning 11-runner 2½m handicap chase at Limerick in May but has largely disappointed since. Cheekpieces back on. Others more convincing.

Fair winning hurdler who has gone with no encouragement in 3 starts over fences. Goes handicapping with lots to prove.

Fair form over hurdles at best but hasn't matched that level in 5 starts over fences this season, well held at Downpatrick latest. Drops back in grade here but others make more appeal.

Consistent mare who got back to winning ways at Limerick in December and ran creditably in defeat thereafter, including when sixth of 24 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown when last seen in April. Returns to chasing off much lower mark and is one for the shortlist.

Improved form over hurdles when making the frame in handicaps at around 3m on first 2 outings this season. Strong in the betting but stumbled soon after the start when below-par fourth of 16 at Kilbeggan in July. Interesting to see if the support returns as he goes chasing.

Not the most consistent and is still looking for first success after 20 NH runs. Fairly treated if on a going day, though.

Just sole success from 21 starts but returned to form when good second of 15 in handicap chase over longer trip at Sligo 6 days ago. Remains feasibly treated and enters calculations.

Yet to score under Rules and was too free when well beaten over longer trip at Wexford on debut over fences 39 days ago. Improvement required.

Stepped up markedly on his comeback run earlier in the year when staying on strongly to win handicap hurdle at Limerick (2m) in April and ran respectably, back from 4 months off in similar race at Listowel last time. Ran poorly on sole start in this sphere but can't be ruled out here.

Found improvement to open his account over hurdles at Sligo in August and may have been left with too much to do when fifth in Roscommon follow-up bid last week. Warrants respect on chasing bow.

Supported at long odds when winning handicap hurdle on second start for Denis Hogan at Wexford in July. Now switches to fences having struggled off higher marks since and is worth monitoring in the market.

A 5-time winner, who registered the last of those successes over hurdles at Tipperary this time last year. However, yet to prove as effective over fences (well-in on hurdles form) and her record when fresh is mixed at best.
