Selected odds by:

Captain Cobajay¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: R A Doyle⁽³⁾| T: E Sheehy

100/1

91-rated handicap hurdler who needs to improve on a couple of early dismal displays over fences at Gowran Park and Wexford recently. Others look open to more progression.

Form: P0P090-

Cliff House¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: P E Corbett| T: Mrs D A Love| OR: 119| BF| D

5/2

Useful 133-rated handicap hurdler, but a six-race maiden over the larger obstacles. Turned out quickly following a run at Down Royal (Monday) giving Farclas a run for his money until fading late on to finish 4½L behind the winner.

Form: 30016-2

Cooldine Bog¹⁷³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: C A Landers⁽⁵⁾| T: A Slattery| BF

3/1

2m2f Kilbeggan maiden hurdle winner on good ground who has bettered that form in handicaps since. Third of eight beaten 5L in a Clonmel handicap hurdle when last seen in November. Worth a market check on chasing introduction.

Form: 325133

Daring Decree^h,t¹⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: I J McCarthy| T: N Lee

80/1

10-race maiden, who has shown little in the way of ability racing off a mark of 80 over hurdles without success. Requires a chunk of improvement to play a role on chasing debut.

Form: 099080-

Fintown Boy^h¹⁷⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: J S McGarvey| T: M Winters| BF

14/1

In good form towards the end of the year landing a hurdling double at Fairyhouse and Thurles in November. Any market move would be worth noting on debut over the larger obstacles.

Form: 863114-

Global Jackpot^t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Brian Hayes| T: G Elliott

9/4

141-rated novice hurdler who landed a hat-trick of wins over timber in late summer last year. Plenty to like about the gelding's chasing debut when third of six at Fairyhouse beaten 1L. Should go well with a clear round.

Form: 211123-

Knock On Steel^h¹⁹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean O'Keeffe⁽⁷⁾| T: B Jordan| D

16/1

105-rated handicap hurdler winner of a Clonmel maiden in October last year. Well beaten in a couple of starts since and likely to need the experience on chasing bow.

Form: 429177-

Stormey^t¹⁹²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: K J Brouder⁽⁵⁾| T: S J Mahon| D

6/1

Useful 127-rated handicap hurdler who finished third of 16 on chasing debut at Galway before a fifth of six at the same venue when last seen in October. Distance of defeat in both starts are a concern and others make more appeal.

Form: 9/22335-

Trump Sixteen^t¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: R P Treacy⁽³⁾| T: S J Mahon

33/1

10-race maiden and without success in 15 hurdle starts. Hard to fancy on chasing introduction representing a yard without a winner over the larger obstacles in the last 90 days from nine starters.

Form: 880800-

Forecasts

Global Jackpot (9/4), Cliff House (5/2), Cooldine Bog (3/1), Stormey (6/1), St Lawrence Gap (12/1), Fintown Boy (14/1), Knock On Steel (16/1), Trump Sixteen (33/1), Daring Decree (80/1), Captain Cobajay (100/1)

The Gordon Elliott-trained GLOBAL JACKPOT sets the standard following a 1L defeat on chasing introduction at Fairyhouse last month. The solid 141-rated hurdler can hold off the attention of Cliff House who can emerge as the biggest danger who ran well in defeat at Down Royal yesterday behind Farclas. Cooldine Bog, Stormey and Captain Cobajay can battle for prize money.
