Has produced two solid handicap chase performances in February and March when running Spare Brakes and Luckyinmilan close. Able claimer in the plate a positive.
Distance winner who is better than his last run when pulled up after two out in a Cork handicap chase when last seen in November. Gets on well with the jockey and market likely to be best guide to chances.
Distance winner pulled-up on his first start for a year when tailed off before three out. Sure to improve on that run but performance will be taken on trust.
No extra last time out over 2m2f in a Thurles handicap chase weakening to finish eighth of 16 following a win in September at Clonmel. Off the track a while and may need the run on return.
Was leading five out when making a mistake and unseating rider at Wexford on stable debut on a return to chasing where he is without a win in nine starts.
Has produced a number of laboured efforts since the turn of the year including a 38L defeat last time out and first-time cheekpieces unlikely to bring about any improvement.
Point-to-point winner on soft-to-heavy ground in October and pulled up in a hunter chase subsequently. Well held in two beginners chases and others make more appeal.
Winner last time out over hurdles but remains an 11-race maiden over the larger obstacles. Plenty to find back chasing but not easy to discount.
Forecasts
Mindsmadeup (7/2), Analyse That (4/1), All The Chimneys (5/1), Bellgrove (8/1), Billy De Kid (10/1), Joxer (12/1), Soul Kaliber (12/1), I Knew Well (12/1), Burning Issues (12/1), Absainte (12/1)
Could be a falsely run contest in the early stages of the race with Bellgrove, Burning Issues and possibly Soul Kaliber vying for the lead. Mindsmadeup and Analyze That act on the ground but both are still without a win over the larger obstacles, while ALL THE CHIMNEYS has been pretty solid since the turn of the year and can land the spoils here now back to 2m.
