Brides Hill⁷⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: K M Donoghue| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 140| D

2/1

Didn't need to be at best when winning 6-runner novice chase at Listowel (20f, soft, 2/1) 74 days ago by 8 lengths from Time To Rocco, cruising clear. Makes handicap chase debut. Considered for last year's winning yard.

Form: 221PF-1

Hurricane Georgie³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: J W Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 138| D

8/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Pulled up in minor event chase at Clonmel (18.3f, heavy, 4/1) 38 days ago. Stable in flying form but others are still preferred.

Form: 49042P

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: D J O'Keeffe| T: T Gibney| OR: 132| C

17/2

Course winner. Latest win in chase here in January. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap chase at Punchestown (24f, good to soft, 8/1). Off 7 months.

Queen Jane^t²²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 129| BF| D

11/2

Promising individual. Won Clonmel maiden and Limerick handicap on first 2 chase starts. Upsides when fell last in handicap chase at Punchestown (21f, good to soft) in April. Remains capable of better and leading claims on reappearance.

Form: 46511F-

Sit Down Lucy²²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-11| J: S W Flanagan| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 125

18/1

50/1, seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, soft) 22 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Something to find on form.

Form: 8-30U67

Time To Rocco^h,t¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: D J Gilligan⁽⁵⁾| T: C Motherway| OR: 125| CD

Form: 1238U-2

Bonnie Kellie³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: P T Enright| T: S Curling| OR: 118

7/1

Career best when winning 9-runner handicap chase (10/3) at Clonmel (20.7f, heavy) 38 days ago, driven out. More will be needed up 9 lb but she still merits respect.

Form: 345F-U1

Forecasts

Brides Hill (2/1), Queen Jane (11/2), Time To Rocco (6/1), Optional Mix (13/2), Bonnie Kellie (7/1), Hurricane Georgie (8/1), Must Be Obeyed (17/2), Sit Down Lucy (18/1)

QUEEN JANE might be unbeaten over fences but for a last-fence fall at Punchestown in April and can make a successful return to action. Gavin Cromwell won this race last year and his Brides Hill, a winner on her Listowel reappearance in September, is feared most ahead of Bonnie Kellie.
