14/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Sixth of 7 in handicap chase at Clonmel (16.3f, good, 9/2) 25 days ago, racing too freely. Better showing anticipated if settling better.

10/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 10/1, good fifth of 16 in handicap chase at Wexford (19.8f, good to soft) 14 days ago, hampered 3 out and keeping on. Remains low-mileage in this sphere and she's not out of things.

18/1

Maiden who ran well when third over hurdles at Fairyhouse (2m) in January and matched that level when fourth on chase debut at Newcastle (16.3f) later that month. All not possibly well when disappointing back over hurdles in April and bounce back likely returning from a break.

Forecasts

Tullyhogue Fort (16/5), The Eye Of Tulla (4/1), Movie King (7/1), Crowsatedappletart (9/1), Must Be Dreaming (10/1), Likable Chancer (12/1), Elegant Dan (12/1), Seskin Flyer (14/1), Dreamsrmadeofthis (14/1), Lesssaidthebetter (16/1), Vocito (18/1), Don't Talk (18/1), Pepperocco (20/1), Beau's Candle (22/1), Greenway Machine (28/1), Justakeg (80/1)

TULLYHOGUE FORT needs to shrug off a lesser effort over hurdles, yet he'd previously gone well from his lower chase mark when runner-up at Limerick in May and he could just be worth chancing to get back on track. Recent hurdles winner Movie King, in-form The Eye of Tulla and Don't Talk head up the dangers.
