4/1

Two wins from 5 runs last season. 50/1, twelfth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (20f, good) 25 days ago. Makes chase debut. Yard having good spell so not ruled out.

Form: 211P5-0

Clondaw Hollow^t⁴⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Ricky Doyle| T: J C McConnell| OR: 126

1/1

Fairly useful winner at 19f over hurdles. Only second run in this sphere when good second of 9 in novice chase at Kilbeggan (22f, good to soft, 4/1) 49 days ago. The one to beat.

Form: 1123/32-

Indian Admiral^p²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: M M McDonagh⁽⁵⁾| T: P Griffin

50/1

Fair winning hurdler for Henry De Bromhead in 2021. Off 19 months before pulled up on yard/chase debut at Downpatrick in May. Hard to warm to on that effort.

Form: 94018/P

Mr Saxobeat⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: E Walsh⁽³⁾| T: T Gibney

13/8

Fairly useful hurdler. Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Respectable thirteenth of 25 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.8f, good to soft, 28/1) 44 days ago. Much respected now going chasing.

Forecasts

Clondaw Hollow (1/1), Mr Saxobeat (13/8), Britzka (4/1), Victory Sign (33/1), Indian Admiral (50/1)

CLONDAW HOLLOW came in a good second at Kilbeggan on just his second start over fences and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to go one better. Chasing newcomers Britzka and Mr Saxobeat appeal as the duo to chase home John McConnell's fairly useful sort in that order.
