It's Time Again²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: J B Foley⁽⁵⁾| T: David Barry| OR: 89| C

7/2

22/1, proved a different proposition after 4 months off when winning 14-runner handicap hurdle at this course (21.3f, good) 27 days ago by 9 lengths from Eddies Pride, leading after 2 out and driven clear. 9 lb higher here and task is to back up that effort.

Forecasts

Arrycan (16/5), It's Time Again (7/2), Emancipator (7/2), Sphagnum (5/1), Chapel Street (8/1), Golden Glen (9/1), Katlaur (10/1), No Logic (10/1), Glenmalure Lodge (14/1), Eddies Pride (14/1), Rightful Mind (18/1), Another Star (20/1), Closest To Heaven (28/1), Rosy Story (40/1), The Deecoy (50/1), Ask Sarah (66/1), Unlaoised (66/1), Cassidys Girl (100/1), Nicola's Fancy (125/1)

Several in with chances but preference is for ARRYCAN. Liam Cusack's charge has returned in good order this season and with this step back up in trip sure to be in his favour, he's fancied to gain a deserved first success over timber. Recent course-winner It's Time Again rates as an obvious threat if she's in the same mood, ahead of Golden Glen and Chapel Street.
