7/2
15½ lengths ninth of 11 to Slade Steel in Supreme Novices' Hurdle (150/1) at Cheltenham (16.4f, heavy) 38 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut and this a much more realistic assignment.

Career best when winning 13-runner handicap hurdle at Naas (16.5f, soft, 4/1) 3 days ago. Carries penalty but may have more to offer for this yard.

12/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Clonmel (16.5f, heavy) 99 days ago, pulled up early in straight. Switches from chase to hurdles. Hood back on. Very hard to make a case for.

Forecasts

Cheerful Chap (2/1), Belle The Lioness (11/4), Kings Hill (7/2), Zoffanien (6/1), Barnacullia (10/1), The Dasher Conway (12/1), Champagne Platinum (16/1), Young Fitzy (40/1)

18:07 Ballinrobe - 19 April 2024 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

A competitive race for the field size with ZOFFANIEN fancied to put it together and cash in on this handy mark. Cheerful Chap was better than ever at Naas on Tuesday so is a huge threat if turned out quickly, with Kings Hill also considered down in class.
