Boom Boom Boom^p⁷⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: S P Davis| T: C Byrnes| OR: 73| C

200/1

Fairly useful gelding. Course winner. 50/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, creditable sixth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 70 days ago. Has his work cut out here on these terms.

Freescape³⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: W J Lee| T: D Marnane| OR: 104| CD

9/2

Useful gelding. 7-time course winner. 8/1, improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap at this C&D 35 days ago, kept up to work. Booking of Lee a plus. Should continue to give a good account.

San Andreas⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: H J Horgan⁽⁵⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 100| C

17/2

Smart gelding. 6-time course winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, didn't need to improve to win 3-runner minor event at this course (7f, 1/20) 7 days ago, shaken up over 1f out and drawing clear. Solid claims again.

Star Harbour⁹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: R P Whelan| T: A McGuinness| OR: 98

6/1

Useful gelding. Latest win at Bellewstown in September. Thirteenth of 18 in handicap at Leopardstown (12f, heavy, 22/1). Off 96 days. Yard in good form.

Tyson Fury^p1³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: J M Sheridan| T: D Hogan| OR: 99

16/1

Useful gelding. Respectable 5¾ lengths fourth of 11 to Freescape in handicap (7/2) at this C&D 35 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others more persuasive.

Form: 6/69024-

Elegant Man⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: M P Sheehy| T: A Murray| OR: 108| CD

4/7

Promising sort who scored on debut over C&D in October and confirmed herself a smart sort when runner-up in 12f listed event at Kempton 44 days ago. Big player with prospect of more to come.

Form: 12-

Linden Lady¹⁷⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: C J MacRedmond⁽⁵⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 91

80/1

Last of 10 in handicap at Sligo (10.5f, good to soft, 50/1). Off 170 days. First run for yard after leaving Denis Hogan and this looks a tough enough ask.

Form: 354500-

Forecasts

Elegant Man (4/7), Freescape (9/2), Star Harbour (6/1), San Andreas (17/2), Tyson Fury (16/1), Linden Lady (80/1), Boom Boom Boom (200/1)

A winner on debut over C&D, ELEGANT MAN showed improved form when chasing home a decidedly smart sort in listed company at Kempton 44 days ago and, with the prospect of more to come, he's fancied to make a bold bid back down in trip. San Andreas and Freescape are others fancied to feature.
