4/9

Smart chaser. 15/2, below form tailed-off third of 6 to Monkfish in Neville Hotels Novices' Chase at Leopardstown (24f, soft) 75 days ago. Likely to bounce back, so should take the beating.

Form: 44-3213

4/1

Useful chaser. Career best when winning 13-runner novice chase at Thurles (16.4f, heavy, 11/4) 27 days ago, kept up to work. Up in trip. Obvious claims if he can reproduce that form.

Form: FP/50-F1

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: P T Enright| T: Noel O'Neill| OR: 129

15/2

Useful chaser. Seventeen runs since last win in 2018. 12/1, creditable third of 7 in handicap chase at this C&D (soft) 14 days ago. Should give his running once more, but requires improvement.

Form: P2P243

16/1

Fairly useful chaser. 38 lengths last of 5 to Elimay in listed chase at this course (16f, soft, 33/1) 29 days ago. Back up in trip. Plenty to prove at present.

Forecasts

Conflated (4/9), Harrie (4/1), Ministerforsport (15/2), Waitnsee (16/1)

CONFLATED disappointed at the top level at Leopardstown last time but he's been given a break since and drops back into a more manageable grade, so he's preferred to recent Thurles winner Harrie who has a bit to find with the selection.
