Just the one run over fences at Wexford in October over 2m and did fine, ended last year with gutsy Huntingdon win over hurdles. Could go well over these obstacles on return.

Cliffside Park^p,t1²³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: B T O'Connell| T: E Doyle| OR: 114

25/1

Been disappointing in four runs this year, failing to complete in two and unable to beat a rival home last time at Tramore a month ago. Hard to build any case for on form.

Form: 08UP9-7

Clonalig House^t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Phillip Enright| T: A J Martin

7/2

Runner-up in similar event last month at Cork over 2m4f, has every chance of going one better here, especially if brushing up just slightly on jumping.

Form: 515432-

Delegate^t¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: B J Cooper| T: G Elliott

11/2

Represents top connections but two runs at Fairyhouse last month give him plenty to work on if holding designs on first win over fences at the third attempt.

Form: U50559-

Poormans Hill¹¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: J M Moore| T: J Neilan

40/1

Modest hurdler, would be struggling against some of these in that sphere. Off since January ahead of this first attempt at the larger obstacles.

Form: 978600-

Rocky Court^t¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: D F O'Regan| T: S J Mahon| OR: 108

12/1

Unplaced in six starts over fences, including stable debut for this trainer last month over 2m when fading out of contention and pulled up. Plenty more required from somewhere.

Form: 4/4386P-

The Dack's Man²³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: G N Fox| T: Kevin McDonagh

66/1

Lightly-raced nine-year-old, yet to snare a place in a 13 runs under rules, six of them jumping hurdles. Makes chase debut here, chances appear limited.

Form: 6P/PPPP-

Donegal Tuesday²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Paul Townend| T: M Hourigan

7/1

Quick-fire double over hurdles in March in good style before handicapper got to grips with him when last spotted at Limerick in early April. Respected now going chasing.

Form: 60116-9

She's Everything^t³²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: C Brassil⁽⁵⁾| T: S J Mahon

50/1

Doesn't appear the most talented, was beaten out the gate over fences at Limerick in June when last spotted, will need to defy a long layoff and the formbook to score here.

Forecasts

Black Warrior (11/8), Fethard Player (11/4), Clonalig House (7/2), Delegate (11/2), Baby Jake (6/1), Donegal Tuesday (7/1), Rocky Court (12/1), Quickpick Vic (20/1), Cliffside Park (25/1), Glacial Shadow (25/1), Poormans Hill (40/1), She's Everything (50/1), The Dack's Man (66/1)

Clonalig House just needs to sharpen his jumping technique and he'll surely be off the mark in this sphere sooner rather than later, while Black Warrior's form over hurdles entitles him to a good deal of respect for this change if discipline. Fethard Player must defy an absence on his first chase outing but should be noted in the betting. BABY JAKE got useful experience of these obstacles at Wexford in the autumn and the manner of his last-start win over timber at Huntingdon showed he's one to have onside in a close finish. He may be able to open his account now while Donegal Tuesday is also noted having been in fine fettle recently over flights.
