Bolands Mercedes-Benz Wexford Handicap Chase (0-109)

Off time: 17:10 | Winning time: 7m 12.5s

Quickasyoucan^t⁴¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean Flanagan| T: C A McBratney| OR: 102| D

6/1

Narrowly failed to make the most of a good tactical ride last time when failing to concede the winner 34lb. That was his second race after a break and there may be better to come.

Form: 7P6/442-

So Influential^b⁴⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr C L Murphy⁽⁷⁾| T: E Sheehy| OR: 102

20/1

Winning point-to-pointer, but has mainly struggled under Rules and was well beaten on chasing debut at Clonmel in February and again at Limerick last month.

Form: 255045-

Cadawill^p²³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: A E Lynch| T: R Sweeney| OR: 99

11/1

Goes well for today's rider and back over fences for the first time since his last success. Has a lot going for him in an uncompetitive event.

Form: 7P0154-

Lacken Bridge¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Ricky Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: C Bowe| OR: 99

9/2

Triple winning point-to-pointer left all previous rules form behind when scoring last time. A 7lb rise seems generous and there may be a lot more to come.

Form: 1/04781-

Asitsohappens⁴²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: J M Moore| T: M McCabe| OR: 95

16/1

Record reads just 1-33 and his handicap mark continues to fall amidst some moderate performances. Beaten 24L last time and tries a new trip.

Form: 8P4573-

Double Windsor²¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: D M O'Brien| OR: 92

11/1

Has failed to threaten in his last four starts and the handicapper is proving reluctant to compensate him. Off since September and hard to recommend.

Form: 450088-

Do Be Doin'^t¹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 10-9| J: R Loughran| T: M Hassett| OR: 90

25/1

Has been in poor form lately and regular cheekpieces are dispensed with this time. Looks hard to recommend on current evidence.

Form: U4B667-

Betterthanalright¹⁵

Age: 12| Weight: 10-6| J: Danny Mullins| T: L Casey| OR: 87

4/1

Grand old veteran has been in tremendous form this term. Up another few pounds for his latest effort, but he is one of the more reliable and consistent types in this.

Form: 7/51523-

Enduring Love³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: A W Short⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 85

8/1

Has a bit to find with Betterthanalright on Clonmel form and he has performed below that level on his only start since.

Form: 7/6036-

Flathertys Gap^p1¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Phillip Enright| T: L Whitmore| OR: 81

7/1

Has disappointed connections in a number of grim displays in the last 12-months and cheekpieces need to produce a chunk of improvement to play a role here.

Form: PP/P686-

Fergiethelegend^b⁷

Age: 12| Weight: 9-12| J: C A Landers⁽⁷⁾| T: J G Carr| OR: 79| D

7/1

Well into the veteran stage now and hasn't shown anything like solid form for some time. Less highly tried than last time but still hard to enthuse about his prospects.

Form: 035078-

Forecasts

Betterthanalright (4/1), Lacken Bridge (9/2), Quickasyoucan (6/1), Fergiethelegend (7/1), Flathertys Gap (7/1), Enduring Love (8/1), Cadawill (11/1), Double Windsor (11/1), Asitsohappens (16/1), So Influential (20/1), Do Be Doin' (25/1)

LACKEN BRIDGE is relatively unexposed and a 7lb rise for the improvement he showed to get off the mark is potentially lenient. Betterthanalright is holding his form well and another honest performance will take him close, whilst Quickasyoucan was run out of it close home last time and he should be close to peak shape having recently returned from a long break.
