Placed many times over hurdles and was a fine 3rd on chasing debut at Galway (2m2f) after a break; this longer trip will suit better and should go close. |

Usually thereabouts in maiden hurdles, posting an RPR of 125 when second at Cork on his penultimate run (3m, yielding to soft); this trip looks on the tight side for chase debut but his ability is respected. |

Longstanding maiden went close at Wexford last year off 9lb higher but pulled up last two outings; leap of faith required but handicapper is giving him a chance at least. |

12st 2lb |
Ex Henry de Bromhead; unseated rider back under rules at Hexham on penultimate start but bounced back to justify favouritism at Ludlow (3m, good; 7l winner) the following week; top rated and tough to beat if in similar form. |

Fairly useful chase form for Henry de Bromhead as recently as winter 2024-25; unseated on hunter chase debut at Hexham last Monday but that was after two solid efforts in points and he should have a future in this sphere; respected. |

Off the mark (first-time cheekpieces) in 2m6f Downpatrick handicap in May off 100 but well held since, latest in similar contest in August; withdrawn over C&D last month due to good ground so may not have his ground here either and yard also have a strong contender in Goodie Girl. |

2nd Feb 2024 Good To Soft 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Second on chase debut in October (2m3f, soft) but finished 0-9 for Gordon Elliott, not always having much luck; heavy defeat at 50-1 three weeks ago on first run for new yard; usual cheekpieces are restored; bit to prove. |

Has left Gordon Elliott with a 0-7 record over hurdles (placed once) and 0-2 over fences, not always having much luck; second on chase debut in October (2m3f, soft) and it was 3m on heavy ground when he pulled up in November latest; cheekpieces on last six starts but not today; Henrietta Knight's first runner since 2012 and of some interest judged on those two placings. |

Her initial wins over fences included a Grade 2 for mares (2m, soft/heavy) but limitations exposed since, despite raising her game, and this is her first crack at a Grade 1 of any kind; very much up against it. |

10th Feb 2024 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |

Maiden hurdler, rated 109; now established as a good chaser; made all for an emphatic win at Gowran; no apparent fluke about her 33-1 win from Harmonya Maker in a mares' Grade 2 Cork event over an extended 2m; another fine effort when third to Spillane's Tower at Punchestown; not quite as good a week later at Thurles, run may have come too soon. |
8/1 |
Verdict
This can go the way of JAPERS JACK (nap) who ran a big race when third on chase debut behind some nice prospects at Galway and that’s the strongest form on offer. Zettabyte should be able to build on his first outing over fences when only narrowly denied at Downpatrick. [Phill Anderson]
