9/2

Seemed to find the test too much when second of 12 in handicap chase at Tramore (22.8f, heavy, 8/1) 11 days ago. Not taken lightly dropped back in trip.

Mahlers Cove²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: A P Kelly| T: J J Mangan| OR: 90

7/1

Yet to score over fences but has reached the frame on 6 occasions. Below form sixth of 18 in handicap chase (11/1) at Naas (16f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Back up in trip. On an eye-catching mark if scaling a revival.

Ivar The Boneless^p1,t⁷¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Niall Moore⁽⁴⁾| T: R K Watson| OR: 87

50/1

Little form for current connections and he's opposable despite the return to more realistic company. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

Form: 566-795

Mastermacblack^p1⁴⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: J G Gilligan⁽²⁾| T: P Breen| OR: 84

16/1

Tongue strap on for 1st time, eighth of 13 in handicap chase (25/1) at Tramore (21.4f, heavy) 47 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Hasn't fired for a while and looks easy to oppose again.

Form: 4P-9808

Papa Barns²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: P M O'Brien⁽⁴⁾| T: Tom Dreaper| OR: 81

15/8

Remains a maiden after 19 NH runs. 5/1, second of 18 in handicap chase at Naas (16f, good to soft) on debut over fences 27 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Back up in trip. Shortlist material.

Wild As Fire⁴⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-7| J: P K Donovan| T: E Cawley| OR: 78

16/1

Maiden hurdler with little form since early-2023. Hard to fancy on chase debut.

Forecasts

Papa Barns (15/8), Toon Town (15/8), Midweek Voices (9/2), School Lane (9/2), Mahlers Cove (7/1), Wild As Fire (16/1), Mastermacblack (16/1), Ivar The Boneless (50/1)

A thin event in which PAPA BARNS can go one better than on chase debut, having produced a good round of jumping and showed plenty of enthusiasm for the job at Naas last month. Midweek Voices should benefit from the drop back in trip and can make the placings alongside School Lane.
