Temperamental sort who took advantage of a drop in grade at Down Royal (26.2f, heavy) on final outing in March. This obviously asks for more.

Form: PP/7071-

Voix Des Tiep¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: P Townend| T: W P Mullins| OR: 139

6/1

40/1, again ran well when 14 lengths third of 7 to Pencilfulloflead in Florida Pearl Novices' Chase at Punchestown (22.6f) 14 days ago. Up in trip for handicap chase debut and needs considering.

Form: F67-123

Dromore Lad²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: C P McNamara⁽⁵⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 135| C

16/1

Proved better than ever to open his account over fences in 19-runner handicap chase at Cork (28f, heavy) 28 days ago, staying on well. Hiked up 10 lb for that but he's dangerous to discount.

Form: 49-2461

Forza Milan^h²¹

18/1

10/1

Confirmed recent promise when winning 16-runner handicap chase at Punchestown (22.6f, heavy) 14 days ago. Up in trip. Trainer going well. Should give another good account.

Cheb De Kerviniou^t²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-3| J: B J Cooper| T: G Elliott| OR: 128

11/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2017. Wasn't at his best when ninth of 22 in handicap chase at Navan (24f, soft, 28/1) on return 21 days ago, though should come on for the run. Back up in trip.

Form: 2332P-9

11/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2019. 9/1, good second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (24f, heavy) 17 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Switches from hurdles to chase. Back up in trip.

Form: 20P3-52

Stacks Mountain³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-1| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 126

20/1

Didn't need to improve to get off the mark over fences at Listowel in September. Only eight of 11 in handicap chase at Galway. Up in trip.

Forecasts

Brace Yourself (6/1), Court Maid (17/2), Captain Cj (17/2), Voix Des Tiep (17/2), Chavi Artist (10/1), High Sparrow (10/1), Cheb De Kerviniou (11/1), Mon Lino (11/1), Scoir Mear (14/1), Treacysenniscorthy (14/1), Milan Native (14/1), Dromore Lad (16/1), Forza Milan (18/1), Roaring Bull (18/1), Death Duty (20/1), Out Sam (20/1), Stacks Mountain (20/1), Tokyo Getaway (20/1), Monbeg Notorious (28/1), Cooldine Bog (40/1), General Principle (50/1), Dounikos (66/1), Prospectus (80/1)

MILAN NATIVE paid late on for trying to mix it with Minella Indo in a Grade 3 at Wexford last month and can get back on the up now returning to handicap company. Brace Yourself's opening mark looks a fair one, so he's a player, as is Punchestown winner Chavi Artist.
