Winning pointer attracted market support on return to Rules' here but faded into sixth, 19l behind the winner; might have needed that after a short break and steps up to a more suitable trip off 1lb lower; not discounted for local yard. |

Won a Kilbeggan bumper last season and back to form when runner-up at Hexham three weeks ago; this looks tougher but it's only his third start in a handicap and he may find improvement for first-time blinkers. |

A fairly useful bumper winner who showed some promise in maiden hurdles before unseating his rider at the first on his handicap debut at Punchestown (3m; wore cheekpieces) 15 days ago; this Irish challenger remains with potential. |

Made the breakthrough under this rider at the 15th attempt at Punchestown in December (3m, heavy) when making all in first-time cheekpieces; up 5lb and beaten 16l at Punchestown last time (2m7f, heavy); capable of more. |

Back-to-back runner-up finishes at Punchestown at the end of last year/new year were the best of his handicap efforts; three runs since then have been disappointing, finished 24l behind at Wexford last time; can get involved at his best but risky. |

One of three runners for yard; maiden over hurdles has run reasonably well on some of her four chase starts but has been poor the last twice and has to do much better. |

Eight defeats include three over fences; her form is nothing to get excited about and she ran no race last time at Kilbeggan (2m4f); this might be more her trip but there are reservations. |

Lightly raced sort makes handicap chase debut; manner of latest fourth at Downpatrick (23.5f, good) suggests this trip may be on the sharp side but she has place claims nonetheless. |

Irish raider with 0-14 strike-rate under rules; didn't run badly in a soft-ground handicap chase (3m) on latest outing in January but is quite tricky to weigh up on her return to hurdling for a new stable. |

Weak Tramore maiden hurdle winner in 2022 (2m, good); some reasonable efforts following that, particularly a nose second behind the decent Meetingofthewaters at Cork later that year (2m4f, yielding to soft); generally poor form since then but some of his best recent runs have been here, 6l fourth of 13 over C&D last time (behind Georgia Celena); others preferred. |

Took a big step forward off reduced mark in first-time cheekpieces at Punchestown in October when second to a clear winner (2m4f, good to yielding); respectable enough effort on soft ground at Tramore last time when fifth (2m5f); trainer in better form now, so not discounted. |

Verdict
Kelso winner bRose Of Kalanisip is respected having just her second start for her current yard. bComeonarchiep could improve on better ground, while bMenas Miraclep ran a career-best at Tramore on handicap debut and will be involved in the finish with a repeat. The form of bAvandrap’s fifth at Limerick looks rather strong, but bFORTUNE THE BRAVEp gets the nod. The gelding saw market support at Punchestown last week when unable to get past the first hurdle and he’s given another chance. [Adrian Wall]
