Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 128

7/2

Latest win in chase at Punchestown in June. 9/1, below form sixth of 10 in handicap chase at Galway (18.2f, soft) 18 days ago. This sharper test should suit him better. Enters calculations for last year's winning yard.

Wonleg^h²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 123

6/4

Promising type. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap chase (5/2) at Wexford (16f, good to soft) 29 days ago, always holding on. A 7 lb rise shouldn't prevent him making a bold bid to follow up.

Be Fierce^t²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: S O'Callaghan⁽⁵⁾| T: T M Walsh| OR: 112

12/1

Promising sort. 10/1, shaped as if still in form when 14¾ lengths fourth of 8 to Wonleg in handicap chase at Wexford (16f, good to soft) 29 days ago, travelling strongly. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 3171-F4

Prince Of Air^p²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: A Harvey⁽⁵⁾| T: C Coakley| OR: 105

7/2

Respectable 12¼ lengths third of 8 to Wonleg in handicap chase at Wexford (16f, good to soft, 4/1) 29 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently.

Form: 533233

Forecasts

Wonleg (6/4), Prince Of Air (7/2), Aeros Luck (7/2), Jack Holiday (12/1), Be Fierce (12/1), Embittered (14/1), The Dara Man (20/1), That's About Right (25/1), Good As Hell (33/1), Cavalry Master (50/1)

WONLEG should have more to come on the back of last month's Wexford success and can make light of a 7 lb rise, perhaps at the expense of Be Fierce, who travelled well for a long way when fourth behind the selection last time and remains capable of better. Aeros Luck will be suited by the return to a slightly shorter trip and may prove best of the rest.
