Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr L P Gilligan| T: P J Gilligan| OR: 130

25/1

Showed brave battling qualities to score last time out at Fairyhouse over 2m5f; obviously in good heart but drop back in trip not ideal and may have to wait another day for a Graded success.

Form: 342531

I'm A Game Changer^t⁸⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott| OR: 142| D

4/1

Useful hurdler who has seemingly taken well to chasing despite not winning. Fell here two starts ago however ran much better last time when only tiring close home; respected if improving again.

Form: 61F-3F2

Sizing Pottsie^t¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: R M Power| T: Mrs J Harrington| D

11/4

Fairly impressive when winning beginners' chase at Fairyhouse latest over similar trip and conditions; still open to improvement and looks one of the more likely winners.

Form: 53-33U1

Ten Ten⁵⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Mark Walsh| T: J P Dempsey| OR: 139| C| D

4/1

Needs to bounce back from a below par performance last time at Naas over this trip; probably needs a bit further than this but will appreciate the ground getting any heavier.

Form: 10/7514

The Ballyboys^b⁶⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| J: D J McInerney| T: R Hackett| OR: 98

100/1

Fair hurdler and chaser but still to get off the mark over the larger obstacles; ran well in Limerick chase on Boxing Day and a repeat of that effort should see him go close.

Form: 547925

Yaha Fizz¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| J: R P Treacy| T: E D Delany| CD

6/1

Put in a surprisingly good effort to win last time out over this trip at Punchestown; will have had his confidence boosted and the manner of that success suggests there could be more to come; one to consider.

Form: 03-5071

Cut The Mustard²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| OR: 137| D

5/2

132-rated handicap hurdler got off the mark at the first time of asking over fences at Limerick before running well in defeat in better contest at Thurles; drop back to this trip last time saw him win easily at Naas; may prove hard to beat.

Form: 24-6121

Forecasts

Cut The Mustard (5/2), Sizing Pottsie (11/4), Ten Ten (4/1), I'm A Game Changer (4/1), Yaha Fizz (6/1), Glamorgan Duke (25/1), The Ballyboys (100/1)

CUT THE MUSTARD has been going from strength to strength over fences and if reproducing the form of her latest success at Naas then she has an excellent chance of landing this interesting Grade 3 contest. I'm A Game Changer has been slowly getting the hang of things over fences and produced his best effort last time at this track. If able to improve some more then he may give the selection most to do. Glamorgan Duke and Yaha Fizz both won at handsome odds last time out and neither should be underestimated. The latter may take some pegging back if able to pinch a soft lead.
