10/1
Successful over 2m4f at Cork (yielding-to-soft) in October and ran well to finish third subsequently. One for the shortlist if recovered from a fall at Leopardstown last time out.

28/1
Disappointing since finishing third over 2m4f at Navan (heavy) in April. Handicap mark is falling as a result but probably best watched at present.
3
Horse silk
Minella Till Dawn26
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-5| J: J W Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR:  124
6/1
Disappointing since winning a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse (2m4f, soft-to-heavy) 13 months ago. Worth a check in the market stepping up in trip today.
4
Horse silk
Fire In His Eyesp1,t20
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-0| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott| OR:  119
9/2
Placed once from four starts over fences and beaten 21L when making his handicap debut at Fairyhouse (3m1f, heavy) last time out. Market support would be interesting in first time cheekpieces dropping in trip today.
5
Horse silk
Nobody Homeh23
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-12| J: C D Timmons(3)| T: E Cawley| OR:  117
12/1
Finished runner-up twice over hurdles late last year but well held off this much higher chase mark on his return to fences at Leopardstown last time out and more needed today.
6
Horse silk
Kopookris35
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-9| J: D F O'Regan| T: L P Cusack| OR:  114
7/1
Yet to win in six starts but put in a decent effort when 35L fifth in a beginners contest at Thurles (heavy) last time out. Interesting to see how he fares on handicap debut.
7
Horse silk
Positive Approach26
Age: 10|  Weight: 10-9| J: P T Enright| T: J J Walsh| OR:  114| CD
25/1
Dual hurdles winner but yet to place in seven starts over fences and pulled up the last twice. Well handicapped on his hurdles form but others make more appeal today.
8
Horse silk
Cappacurry Zakp23
Age: 9|  Weight: 10-7| J: R P Treacy(5)| T: L Young| OR:  112
3/1
Impressive winner of a novice chase over an extended 2m6f at Limerick (heavy) last time out. Races off a mark 6lb higher than when runner-up here prior to that and is one for the shortlist today.
9
Horse silk
Head Turner52
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-3| J: R Loughran| T: P A Fahy| OR:  108
12/1
Successful four times over hurdles but held in three starts over fences in November. Well handicapped on his hurdles form and worth a check in the market on handicap debut.
10
Horse silk
Oscar Lantern23
Age: 9|  Weight: 10-2| J: M A Enright| T: C Byrnes| OR:  107| CD
5/1
Put a couple of non-completions behind him when finishing 15L third to Cappacurry Zak over an extended 2m6f at Limerick (heavy) last time out. Work to do if he's to reverse that form today.
11
Horse silk
Lettermacawardp15
Age: 12|  Weight: 10-1| J: B Hayes| T: M Winters| OR:  106
28/1
Had just four starts since winning over hurdles at Clonmel (3m, good) in October 2015. Fell at Cork earlier this month on his most recent start over fences and others make more appeal today.

Forecasts

Cappacurry Zak (3/1), Fire In His Eyes (9/2), Oscar Lantern (5/1), Minella Till Dawn (6/1), Kopookris (7/1), Teacher's Pet (10/1), Head Turner (12/1), Nobody Home (12/1), Positive Approach (25/1), Lettermacaward (28/1), Vent De La Cote (28/1)

15:50 Thurles - 21 January 2018 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

CAPPACURRY ZAK can make a winning return to handicaps in this chase over an extended 2m5f. The selection impressed in winning a novice contest at Limerick last time and can see off his rivals today with top weight Teacher's Pet capable of chasing him home having been in good form prior to falling last time out. Fire In His Eyes represents leading connections today and can finish third dropping in trip.
  1. Cappacurry Zak
  2. Teacher's Pet
  3. Fire In His Eyes
