Racing Again November 19th Beginners Chase

4YO plus | 2m 2f 55y | 12 Runners | Turf

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Anna McGuinness⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell| C

Won 2m handicap hurdle at this course last season. Half-bother to winning chasers Autumn Glory and Minella Hub so has the potential to make it as a chaser, though is probably one for handicaps later on rather than a maiden.

Itsaworkinmaniam^p³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr E Mahon⁽⁷⁾| T: B McMahon| OR: 98

12/1

Runner-up in a Navan maiden hurdle last autumn, he has yet to kick on in staying handicaps this year despite shaping better than the bare form, and, while his pointing background suggests fences should suit, this trip may prove on the sharp side for him.

Form: F26-588

Jonny Carrol^t⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Jordan Gainford| T: M McCabe

10/1

Low mileage 5-y-o. Finished as close as he has when 7 lengths fourth of 14 at Wexford (2½m) in early-August but failed to back that up at Gowran last month. Half-brother to multiple winning chaser Instant Gambler but looks up against it making his debut over fences.

Form: 3P-7840

Kingston Silver³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Philip Donovan| T: W J Lanigan

66/1

Little impact in a trio of maidens and a handicap hurdle. Hard to fancy on chasing debut.

Form: 0909

Space Warrior¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Simon Torrens| T: T Mullins

20/1

Winless since hurdling debut in 2024. Back in form when beaten 6½ lengths off a reduced mark at Gowran (2½m) in October but has struggled both starts since. Unlikely type for chasing.

Form: 3-99667

Tea In The Park¹⁹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Ricky Doyle| T: Eamon Courtney

33/1

Little impact in maiden hurdles or in hunter chase. Winless in points but runner-up twice in 2026 prior to unseating last time.

The Monkey Pole¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Ms E L Herbison⁽⁷⁾| T: N Dooly

6/1

Has shaped better than the bare result on his last 5 handicap hurdle starts, unsuited by drop in the trip when 2¼ lengths fifth of 21 to Crypto Crash at Cork. Not an obvious chaser on pedigree but not without a chance if taking to the job.

Form: P35545

Angelsworknovrtime^t⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-5| J: Conor Smithers⁽⁷⁾| T: J Fahey| OR: 94

25/1

Remains with just the sole win to her name from 34 runs but has left the impression she's been working her way back to fitness on both handicap hurdle outings this season. Switching to chasing late.

Form: 6450-05

I C U In My Dreams¹⁸¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Mike O'Connor| T: Conor Houlihan

11/2

Irish point winner who made the frame both starts in bumpers and posted her best effort over hurdles making all in 2½m Newcastle maiden last season for Donald McCain. Switches to chasing now on debut for new connections

Form: 24216-6

Kimy^p²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Danny Gilligan| T: T Mullins| OR: 99

7/2

Just a single win over hurdles but made an instant impact over fences when chasing home Rattledelatch in maiden at Tramore in October. Ran creditably back on the Flat last time and claims if able to reproduce chasing debut performance in what looks a very ordinary maiden.

Form: 0093-02

Might Be The One^t³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: A McNamara| OR: 97| BF| D

3/1

Improved in a first-time tongue strap when finally off the mark by 8 lengths at Downpatrick in September and shaped as though still in good form last time, her sole point win came when awarded a 2-finisher race as a 4-y-o, but she still appeals as one of the more likely chasing newcomers.

Form: 5322-14

Whispering Willow^p1,t³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 97

7/2

Made a winning handicap and stable debut in a big-field Punchestown hurdle in May and, while below form back hurdling last time, her 3 placed efforts in maiden chases, most recently when second to Sea Of Light in a well-run Downpatrick event, make her a major player. Wears first-time cheekpieces.

Forecasts

Kimy (5/2), Whispering Willow (3/1), Might Be The One (7/2), Itsaworkinmaniam (6/1), The Monkey Pole (12/1), I C U In My Dreams (14/1), Angelsworknovrtime (16/1), Harry's Dream (16/1), Jonny Carrol (25/1), Space Warrior (25/1), Tea In The Park (50/1), Kingston Silver (50/1)

WHISPERING WILLOW underperformed over hurdles last time but had previously shaped well over fences and is worth chancing back in this sphere with first-time cheekpieces applied. In-form hurdler Might Be The One is feared most if transferring that ability to fences with Kimy also respected after a promising chase debut at Tramore.
