SANSERV Rated Novice Chase

Useful sort who didn't need to improve to open his chase account in 2½m novice at Clonmel in April. Well held in listed handicap at Punchestown when last seen just over 2 weeks later. Absent since but has a solid record fresh and could be the one to be with.

Runner-up twice in bumpers and on his last 2 starts over hurdles, chasing home Quinta Do Lago at Punchestown on latest. Very much bred to make a chaser.

Navan maiden hurdle winner was a good head second of 5 to Kazansky in Grade 2 at Limerick (23f, heavy, 9/4) last season but struggled in open handicap company afterwards. Makes chasing debut with hood removed.

Winless since debut in 2024 but plenty of useful efforts to his name over hurdles. Pleasing return over fences when 2¾ lengths second of 8 to Road To Home in C&D maiden chase 18 days ago, shaping as if a return to further will suit. Respected in this company.

Winning pointer who has finished in the frame all 4 completed starts over hurdles, including when third in Grade 2 at Cheltenham, though below his best when 13 lengths second of 7 to He Can't Dance in maiden at Limerick when last seen in April. In excellent hands and type to do better now chasing.

Long-standing maiden chaser who probably needed the run back from 7 months off on the level at Listowel recently. Would make more appeal in a handicap.

Fairly useful hurdler. Career best when winning 15-runner handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.4f, heavy) on return last season. Stepped up markedly on chasing debut when ¾-length second of 15 to He's Gorgeous in maiden at Clonmel when last seen. Open to further progress.
