I'm An Izz Wizz³¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: G N Fox| T: L Lennon| OR: 102| D

7/1

Still fairly unexposed over fences, and has shown ability on more than one occasion, keeping on well to finish a neck second here in March. Is a point-to-point winner so this trip ought not be an issue, and any rain a plus.

Shake It Up⁵¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: J M Moore| T: J T R Dreaper| OR: 100| CD

9/2

Winner of just 1 of his 17 starts, but that was over this C&D, so handles track fine. Has looked a bit one paced on latest efforts but this does look a little easier and with yard in form, has chances.

Kilclispeen^p,t²²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: J S McGarvey| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 95| CD

8/1

Not seen out since last October, when form had taken a huge turn for the worse. On the plus side, is a C&D winner over hurdles but does need to prove wellbeing (and form) after a break.

Form: 31/F076-

Scenic Star^h1,t⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: J B Kane⁽⁵⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 95| CD

9/2

Doesn't seem to be going anywhere fast at present, and was well beaten at Kelso on latest start, but does seem to reserve best efforts for this track (a win and a second here) so that gives hope he may bounce back to form.

Form: 20808-3

Galloping Anger^t¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: K M Smith⁽⁷⁾| T: M J Smith| OR: 91

25/1

Simply hasn't shown enough in either of his chase starts to date (often making mistakes) to make him of interest off this mark for his handicap debut tonight. Others readily preferred.

Form: U0049-7

Chelate¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: C D Maxwell| T: T G McCourt| OR: 86| D

14/1

Didn't show much on first two chase starts but ran better on latest start when having little chance at the weights, jumping better and giving impression there could be a bit more to come. Not badly handicapped on that and worth a glance in the market.

Form: P1/00P-5

Drop Anchor^p¹⁷⁸

Age: 14| Weight: 10-8| J: C D Timmons⁽⁵⁾| T: E Cawley| OR: 84| D

8/1

Well into the veteran stage and you have to go back to 2014 for his last win, but on the plus side, has won after a break before and stays well. Lot to ask at his age but not impossible, though others hold stronger claims.

Form: 1F/8435-

Shanklys Dawn³²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: D E Mullins| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 81| D

16/1

Did win a maiden point-to-point last December although the form of that isn't strong, and was well beaten when last seen out at Cork in April. Looks to have too much on here.

Form: 673218-

Moon Prince²³⁸

Age: 15| Weight: 10-3| J: A Ring⁽³⁾| T: M Winters| OR: 79| D

12/1

Almost old enough to vote, and no win since 2013 on the card. Not seen out since unseating here last September and surely there are more likely winners tonight.

Form: 06/558U-

Mason Dixon^b¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: S A Shortall⁽³⁾| T: F J Flood| OR: 77

12/1

Fell last time out but did al least show a bit more spark, although was well beaten when eventually falling two out. Looks on a fair mark now but still plenty to prove, including stamina for this trip.

Form: 870PP-F

Killeen Elegance^b¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 9-12| J: A E Lynch| T: C O'Connell| OR: 74| CD

15/2

Fairly lightly raced for one her age, and only win did come over this C&D back in 2015, so has some things going for her. Didn't perform too badly on recent run after 18 months away and if building on that, might get involved. Risky, but not discounted.

Form: 56184/5

Taboo^p⁹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: Robbie Colgan| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 68

20/1

Still a maiden after 13 starts and hasn't really looked like breaking her duck at any time. Not a bad effort in heavy ground at Tramore last December but a poor effort when last seen, and can't really be entertained as the winner.

Form: 534U7P-

Admiral Bob^t²⁰¹

Age: 12| Weight: 9-10| J: Rachael Blackmore⁽³⁾| T: Ms H P Markham| OR: 65| D

12/1

Not disgraced over this C&D last September but lesser efforts since then, and still a maiden after 21 starts. Doesn't make much appeal as a likely winner.

Forecasts

Willow Grange (7/2), Shake It Up (9/2), Scenic Star (9/2), I'm An Izz Wizz (7/1), Killeen Elegance (15/2), Kilclispeen (8/1), Drop Anchor (8/1), Admiral Bob (12/1), Mason Dixon (12/1), Moon Prince (12/1), Chelate (14/1), Shanklys Dawn (16/1), Taboo (20/1), Galloping Anger (25/1)

A few of these hold chances on bits and pieces of form, but it may pay to stick with the in-form WILLOW GRANGE with this extra distance tonight likely to bring out a bit more improvement. Chelate is worth a second look in the market as any money for him could be significant. Scenic Star, I'm An Izz Wizz and Killeen Elegance all hold chances of sorts and can fight out the places.
