14th Mar 2024 Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
11lb higher than when winning this by a neck last year (soft) but Festival form is a major plus and she reverted to fences with a fine third of 18 in the Thyestes at Gowran Park (3m1f, heavy) in January; showed promise on yielding ground last season; there's every chance she'll be in the shake-up. |

Won an Irish-dominated Kim Muir at Cheltenham last March (Dunboyne back in fourth, Royal Thief sixth) before finishing a remote sixth in the Irish Grand National; should be fully primed for this following two runs over hurdles. |

Better known as a chaser, winning the 3m2f Kim Muir at Cheltenham last season; was a 31l runner-up on return over hurdles at Clonmel but should strip fitter today and is of interest off this attractive mark. |

In good form last summer, finishing up with a 3rd in a Killarney Listed race; has to improve on his two runs this year which were well below that level; cheekpieces are added. |

2-23 over fences; jumping was none too fluent at Tipperary on his first run after a break; one of three in the line-up for his owner; market may provide some hints. |

11st 8lb |
Ground versatile 2-22 chaser seemed to lose his confidence a little with one or two sketchy jumps midway when last seen out at Leopardstown; if you draw a line through that run, his previous form makes for sound enough reading, and if back on his game here, he could be one to keep on your side. |

Gained a second chase win at Kilbeggan last summer and has posted a series of solid efforts in defeat since, last two at 3m; should be thereabouts again and shorter trip no problem. |

11st 9lb |
Needs to step up on recent form, but noteworthy on account of having finished 13l second to the progressive Seddon in this race last year; tried with blinkers after Down Royal fourth; beaten a long way then but had Harveys Quay and Soloman Lane behind. |

Close second in this race last year possibly his best effort; ran okay after a three month break when third in a handicap chase at Gowran last time; only 2lb higher than last year and could go close. |

Won a handicap chase at Gowran last February and is now rated 122 in that sphere; his handicap hurdle form is relatively weak, but interesting that trainer persists despite modest form in his last three racses. |
