Settings
Selected odds by:
Fairly useful hurdler. Ninth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Cork (17f, good to soft, 9/1) 21 days ago. Much respected on his chase debut.
|
Fairly useful Fal/hurdles winner. Promising second of 7 in novice chase at Roscommon (16.4f, soft, 7/4) on debut over fences 20 days ago. Trainer going well. Open to improvement. Player.
|
Useful hurdler. 20/1 and blinkered for 1st time, twelfth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.4f, good to soft) 125 days ago. Switches to chasing now but failed to complete on last two runs in that sphere. Good claims if back on song.
|
Fairly useful winner at 23f over hurdles. 7/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable third of 7 in minor event chase at Tramore (21.6f, heavy) 10 days ago. One for the shortlist.
|
Useful hurdler. 8/1, fifth of 6 in minor event hurdle at Cork (18.7f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Makes chase debut and can't be dismissed.
|
Fairly useful winner at 23f over hurdles. 16/5, encouraging second of 11 in novice chase at Wexford (19.8f, heavy) on debut over fences 17 days ago, no match for winner. Open to progress. In the mix.
|
Fair hurdler. 8/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Sligo (20.4f, good to soft) 18 days ago, folding. Switches from hurdles to chase with work to do.
|
Fairly useful hurdler. Only fourth of 6 in minor event at this course (17.3f, good, 9/2) 15 days ago. More is required on his chase debut.

Forecasts
Rexem (6/5), Grozni (7/2), Grand Roi (4/1), Gentleman Joe (7/1), Weddell Sea (12/1), Plains Indian (14/1), Douglas Dc (16/1), Typical Thomas (33/1)
GENTLEMAN JOE shaped well on his first go over fences when runner-up at Roscommon and this fairly useful Flat/hurdles winner can build on it to get off the mark in this sphere. Rexem also made an encouraging chasing start when second at Wexford so could emerge as the chief threat ahead of form=choice Grand Roi who would be a threat to all if completing on this occasion.
