Promising individual. 2 wins from 4 runs this season. 15/8, career best when winning 13-runner novice chase at this course (20f, soft) 28 days ago, asserting run-in. Expected to be thereabouts with further progress anticipated.
|
Fairly useful chaser. First run since leaving Gordon Elliott when good second of 6 in novice chase at Limerick (17.7f, heavy, 15/2) 28 days ago, no match for winner. Looks competitive on form.
|
Latest win in chase at Clonmel (17.9f) in December. Creditable third of 12 in listed handicap chase at Limerick (19.4f, heavy, 9/4) 26 days ago. Should go well again.
|
Fairly useful winner at 2m over hurdles. Promise when midfield on chase debut at Gowran 11 months ago but absent since falling back at that venue in March. Others preferred.
|
Maiden who improved on chase debut form when runner-up in novice company at Punchestown (15.6f) in November. 11/4, creditable second of 9 in novice hurdle at this course (17f, soft) 28 days ago, notably travelling best. Likely he can do better again back over fences.
|
Last of 6 in novice chase at Limerick (17.7f, heavy, 40/1) 28 days ago, losing touch from 4 out. Can only be watched at present.
|
Fair form when fourth sole chase start in France. Hooded for 1st time, first run since leaving Gavin Patrick Cromwell when thirteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Navan (20f, heavy, 40/1) 37 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase.
|
Fair winner at 19f over hurdles. 200/1, pulled up in novice chase at Fairyhouse (16.5f, heavy) 38 days ago, in touch 4 out before weakening. Can only be watched on what he's achieved in this sphere to date.

Forecasts
Captains Nephew (6/4), Ask Anything (9/4), Bleu D'enfer (4/1), Irish Blaze (5/1), Hurricane Cliff (11/1), Deployed (50/1), Ivar The Boneless (150/1), Rumoroso (150/1)
Boasting a progressive profile over hurdles, ASK ANYTHING has continued that theme over fences, off the mark in a 13-runner novice here (20f) 4 weeks ago. Open to further improvement in this sphere, he's expected to make another bold bid back down in trip. Captains Nephew and Irish Blaze are also expected to play prominent roles.
