7/1
5-y-o who has quick reached a fairly useful level in this sphere, winning back-to-back maiden/novice contests prior to a creditable second of 10 in novice chase at this course (16.4f) 72 days ago, no match for winner. Should go well again despite conceding weight all round.

9/4
Fairly useful winner at 2m over hurdles and confirmed promise of his chase debut effort when winning 7-runner novice chase at Limerick (17.7f, soft) 56 days ago. Open to improvement and he's one to consider.

9/2
Bumper winner who showed plenty of ability over hurdles and made a smooth transition to this sphere when winning 11-runner maiden at Fairyhouse (16.3f) 35 days ago, jumping well in the main. Looks sure to progress. Tongue strap on 1st time.

16/1
Useful winner at 21f over hurdles. 16/1, seventh of 8 in novice chase at Tipperary (16.4f, soft) on debut over fences 90 days ago. This should reveal more but possible he'll be brought along gradually in this sphere.

11/4
Useful winner at 2m over hurdles. Bit below form ninth of 24 in handicap hurdle at this course (16.7f, good to soft, 17/2). Off 9 months. Makes chase debut. Another to note for top yard.

4/1
Lightly-raced winning hurdler who shaped encouragingly when fourth on chase debut at Leopardstown (17f) over Christmas. Never figured when midfield in 14-runner maiden at Gowran 28 days ago and whilst he remains open to improvement, handicaps could be more his bag. Usual hood left off.

Forecasts

Release The Beast (9/4), Rath Gaul Boy (11/4), Waterford Whispers (10/3), Western Diego (4/1), Springt De La Mare (9/2), Jasko Des Dames (7/1), Fascile Mode (10/1), Built By Ballymore (16/1)

13:25 Punchestown - 20 February 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

RELEASE THE BEAST confirmed chase debut promise when opening his account in a 7-runner maiden at Limerick (17.7f) 56 days ago and he's fancied to make another bold bid in this stronger affair, with further progress in the offing. Springt de La Mare is another open to improvement and feared on the back of his chase debut success. Waterford Whispers is another on the shortlist, with chase debutant Rath Gaul Boy another to note.
