Long Road^p¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: S D Torrens| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 91

20/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, eleventh of 16 in handicap chase (28/1) at Roscommon (21.7f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 2U2P-60

Dawn Escape¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean Flanagan| T: L Casey| OR: 86

7/1

5/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap chase at this course (25.4f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 440-544

Movie King^p,t²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr B M Coonan⁽⁷⁾| T: A J Martin| OR: 85

15/2

Back from 6 months off when creditable third of 13 in handicap chase (10/1) at this course (20f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Step up in trip is a plus and looks a likely player.

My Friend The Wind^p¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: Gary Noonan⁽⁵⁾| T: E McNamara| OR: 85

6/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Creditable fifth of 16 in handicap chase (18/1) at Roscommon (21.7f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Not out of things.

11/2

Ran near best form when creditable fourth of 14 in handicap chase at Tramore (21.8f, good to firm, 14/1) 7 days ago. This stiffer test will be more up his street so merits consideration.

Form: 3P3154

Hit The Frame^b,t¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: A Harvey⁽⁵⁾| T: J P Flavin| OR: 82

5/1

Posted career best, in first-time blinkers, when second of 16 in handicap chase at Roscommon (25f, good to soft, 14/1) 17 days ago, clear of rest. 3 lb rise fair and is one for shortlist.

11/1

22/1

25/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Tramore (20.4f, good to firm) 8 days ago, tailing off long way out. Hard to fancy on chase debut.

Forecasts

Hit The Frame (5/1), Thehairyfella (11/2), My Friend The Wind (6/1), Dawn Escape (7/1), Movie King (15/2), Ballagh Star (8/1), Early Arrival (9/1), Tuff Days (11/1), Container Madness (12/1), Captain Kate (18/1), Long Road (20/1), Tennesse Boy (22/1), Father Jed (28/1)

MOVIE KING is entitled to build on last month's encouraging return at this course and can land the spoils. Hit The Frame and Thehairyfella should also go well.
