22/1

Useful chaser. Latest win in chase at Killarney in July. 11/1, 18¾ lengths fourth of 6 to San Salvador in Gr 3 chase at Roscommon (16.7f, soft) 6 days ago. Back up in trip and he's likely to find one or two too good once again.

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins

16/5

Fairly useful chaser. Didn't need to be at best when winning 8-runner novice chase at Ballinrobe (23.4f, good to soft, 5/6) 23 days ago, well on top finish. Top yard has won the last 2 runnings of this and 6 times overall since 2014. Strong chance.

14/1

Fairly useful chaser. C&D winner. Latest win in chase here in April. 7/4, fourth of 5 in novice chase at Killarney (23f, good to soft) 147 days ago. Yard saddles a more intriguing candidate in Gorgeous Tom.

Forecasts

Gorgeous Tom (5/4), Shecouldbeanything (2/1), A Penny A Hundred (16/5), Music Of Tara (14/1), Gaelic Arc (22/1), Iriskana (100/1)

SHECOULDBEANYTHING is a useful performer over hurdles and looks set to make her mark in this sphere, too, having built on her encouraging chase debut when cosily seeing off four rivals in a mares' novice at Listowel. She is taken to follow up here, perhaps at the chief expense of Gorgeous Tom, who made the perfect start over fences at Wexford and he should have more to offer. A Penny A Hundred is third choice ahead of Gorgeous Tom's stablemate Music of Tara.
