20/1

Veteran who is a dual winner on heavy ground the last coming in December 2012 when winning a Punchestown handicap hurdle. Beaten recently but showed some old spark in March in Navan handicap chase.

Form: 4162P-0

Vinnie Luck^p⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-13| J: Mr J J Codd| T: M Winters| OR: 119| D

4/1

One win from five chase starts, the win coming on heavy ground in a Sligo beginners chase in September. Could run his race under significant jockey booking.

Form: 56-3642

Icantsay²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr J C Barry⁽⁵⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 118| D

7/2

Third of eight here on Thursday in a 3m handicap hurdle only beaten 1¾L behind Ben Button. Goes well over course and the distance but is still 10lb higher than last chase win.

Form: 075453

My Hometown²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr D O'Connor| T: E Bolger| OR: 118| D

6/1

Nought from eight over the larger obstacles for the J P McManus owned gelding. Improved and promising performance last time out in a Killarney chase over 2m6½f. One that looks a work in progress and other preferred.

Form: 8/PPP-F5

Capture The Drama²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr E Mahon⁽⁷⁾| T: Aengus King| OR: 111| D

14/1

Has failed to finish in three of his last four starts over hurdles or the larger obstacles and others make more appeal in this.

Form: 57-P0PP

Black Scorpion¹⁵²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr R W Barron⁽⁷⁾| T: J F Gleeson| OR: 109| D

11/2

Promising 6yo who won his last two point-to-points in good style and followed that up with a debut win at Cork in a hunter chase over 3m on good ground.

Spancil Hill¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr R P Quinlan⁽³⁾| T: M J McDonagh| OR: 108| D

6/1

Won a Wexford handicap chase over the extended 3m1f on soft ground in April, before finishing fourth of 14 on seasonal debut in a Ballinrobe handicap hurdle last month. Still 14lb higher than last chase win.

Form: 02PP1-4

King Blue^p²⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 10-9| J: Ms K Walsh| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 101

4/1

Could well have left his run a little late to catch the winner at Sligo last time out. Runs just 1lb higher than last win as the handicapper takes a chance here with conditions in the geldings favour.

Form: 27-4142

Forecasts

Icantsay (7/2), Vinnie Luck (4/1), King Blue (4/1), Black Scorpion (11/2), Spancil Hill (6/1), My Hometown (6/1), Capture The Drama (14/1), Rockshandy (20/1), Canaly (20/1)

The Aengus King-trained Capture The Drama will possibly take the field along in the early part of the contest. My Hometown and Black Scorpion who is interesting on handicap debut could make the frame coming off the pace. The selection is KING BLUE, just 1lb higher than last win as the handicapper takes a chance here with conditions in the geldings favour.
