A Place Apart⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 12-1| J: C P McNamara⁽⁵⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 119

16/1

Was back from a break with a sound Flat run at Leopardstown last month but didn't get far back over fences at Kilbeggan (2m4f, good; 14-1) since; likely needs some help from the handicapper but remains lightly-raced in this sphere.

Form:

Lord Schnapps²⁷⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: D F O'Regan| T: J G Sheehan| OR: 116

25/1

Mixed bag in four runs over fences last year; best of them being a runner-up effort at Sligo (2m4f, good to yielding; 6-4f) in September. Poor soon after at Clonmel (never involved) and off since. Changed hands ahead of h'cap debut.

Form:

Timiyan^t²²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: M P Walsh| T: G Elliott| OR: 116

8/1

Won the Midlands National at Kilbeggan in 2018; his only success in 16 so far over fences. Handicapper has given him some leeway on first start since the Troytown in November and not ruled out.

Form:

Hash Brown^t¹⁰⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 11-7| J: S D Torrens⁽⁷⁾| T: M Hourigan| OR: 111| D

25/1

Into the veteran stages now and can only boast a 2-29 record over fences; has shaped well at times over the previous 12 months (amid some poor runs) and from this h'cap mark he can't be totally dismissed.

Form:

Archer's Up^b1,t¹⁷⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: G B Noonan⁽⁷⁾| T: P Neville| OR: 109

40/1

Left Gavin Cromwell to join this trainer in the autumn and three very laboured efforts over fences so far; blinkers are added now but safest to look elsewhere on form.

Form:

Court Tycoon⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: K C Sexton| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 109| BF

13/2

Went close in September at Roscommon on second chase start (2m5f, heavy; 7-1) but then pulled up next start at Punchestown (3m1f, not fluent and completely detached). Early days over these obstacles so not crossed off yet.

Form:

Crazywork De Vassy²⁵⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: M M McDonagh⁽⁷⁾| T: M J McDonagh| OR: 109

66/1

Winner of a Down Royal handicap chase (2m½f, soft; 9-1) in November 2017 and promising at that time; blighted by absences since and hard to recommend on first start since October (tailed off).

Form:

Woodbrook Boy^t¹⁰⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: B J Cooper| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 109

6/1

Maiden but hasn't got big miles on the clock, runner-up on chase bow at Wexford (2m4f, good; 25-1) last summer; out of form when last spotted but not discounted returning in handicap company for the first time.

Form:

Gold Seal²⁷⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr T Joseph Kelly⁽⁷⁾| T: E Bolger| OR: 107

25/1

Lost his way last year with Joseph O'Brien; may be better days to come with this trainer but who knows what the master-plan will be. Worth market check for sure. Yard also runs Thatbeatsbanagher.

Form:

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: D J O'Keeffe| T: E Bolger| OR: 107| CD

4/1

Course winner last summer over slightly further; only success in 16 career starts. Out of form at Thurles in February and needs first-time blinkers to perk him up on return to action. Second runner for Enda Bolger in this.

Form:

Shanroe Al C¹⁷⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr J C Barry⁽⁵⁾| T: K Thornton| OR: 105| BF| D

9/4

Won four on the trot last summer, including handicap chase bow at Tipperary (2m4f, yielding; 11-8f); bit disappointing in three runs since including when unseating last time out at Thurles in January. Has gone well fresh before.

Form:

Buck A Trend⁵⁵³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: P T Enright| T: J Dullea| OR: 103

33/1

Maiden, doesn't have the form to be considered a likely winner and best watched on first run since a fall at Tramore on New Year's Day 2019.

Form:

Tiantu^t²⁶⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: H Morgan⁽⁷⁾| T: Paul Power| OR: 103

40/1

Tramore novice chase winner (2m6f, good; 7-2) in May last year; proved uncompetitive in a series of handicaps since both over fences and hurdles and hard to recommend back from a break.

Form:

Island Master²⁵⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 10-7| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: W J Burke| OR: 97| CD

14/1

Reserve; C&D winner this month last year; rated 96 at the time. Well held three starts after but could have claims if getting a run.

Forecasts

Shanroe Al C (9/4), Thatbeatsbanagher (4/1), Flirting Lesa (11/2), Woodbrook Boy (6/1), Court Tycoon (13/2), Timiyan (8/1), Island Master (14/1), A Place Apart (16/1), Hussle Up (16/1), Olive D'Haguenet (16/1), Hash Brown (25/1), Gold Seal (25/1), Lord Schnapps (25/1), Buck A Trend (33/1), Tiantu (40/1), Archer's Up (40/1), Crazywork De Vassy (66/1)

SHANROE AL C has gone well fresh before and should relish the decent ground here. He won four times on the spin last summer, including over fences at Tipperary and is fancied to progress again in the months ahead. The low-mileage Flirting Lesa is another with possibilities while Woodbrook Boy is a possible improved starting in a handicap for the first time.
