An open race where most can be given a chance but narrow preference is for the sole mare in the line up UHAVEMEINSTITCHES. She was worth more than the winning margin in a Grade 3 last time as she idled in front and now looks well treated back in a handicap. Prior to that she was well fancied for the Leinster National but didn't get far. Goraibhmaithagat was narrowly denied in that contest and ran well for a long way in the Irish National last time before his stamina gave way. He is respected back down in trip as is Iceberg Theory who failed to stay in the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham last time but was progressive in the autumn prior to that. Perhaps the biggest danger may be Beckett Rock who caught the eye with a slightly unlucky fifth having been badly hampered in the Coral Cup last time. That race was dominated from the front so he did well to finish as close as he did and though he's yet to match his hurdles form over fences this longer distance should deliver more. |

An open race where most can be given a chance but narrow preference is for the sole mare in the line up UHAVEMEINSTITCHES. She was worth more than the winning margin in a Grade 3 last time as she idled in front and now looks well treated back in a handicap. Prior to that she was well fancied for the Leinster National but didn't get far. Goraibhmaithagat was narrowly denied in that contest and ran well for a long way in the Irish National last time before his stamina gave way. He is respected back down in trip as is Iceberg Theory who failed to stay in the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham last time but was progressive in the autumn prior to that. Perhaps the biggest danger may be Beckett Rock who caught the eye with a slightly unlucky fifth having been badly hampered in the Coral Cup last time. That race was dominated from the front so he did well to finish as close as he did and though he's yet to match his hurdles form over fences this longer distance should deliver more. |

She was worth more than the winning margin in a Grade 3 last time as she idled in front and now looks well treated back in a handicap. Prior to that she was well fancied for the Leinster National but didn't get far. Goraibhmaithagat was narrowly denied in that contest and ran well for a long way in the Irish National last time before his stamina gave way. He is respected back down in trip as is Iceberg Theory who failed to stay in the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham last time but was progressive in the autumn prior to that. Perhaps the biggest danger may be Beckett Rock who caught the eye with a slightly unlucky fifth having been badly hampered in the Coral Cup last time. That race was dominated from the front so he did well to finish as close as he did and though he's yet to match his hurdles form over fences this longer distance should deliver more. |

Travelled, returned to form back down in trip, got racing too early comfortably held in a handicap chase at Fairyhouse last time; effective 2 1/2-3m; remains well treated on hurdle form, progressive over fences until latest. |

Pulled up in a handicap chase at Cheltenham latest; off a short-break; effective 3m, acts on any but suited by decent ground; still a maiden over fences. |

Travelled, did it readily, built on recent revival in first time blinkers landing a handicap by 4 1/2l off a 12lb lower mark at Fairyhouse last time; effective up to 3m, acts on heavy, yielding; back in form, may remain well treated on old efforts but faces stiff task on these terms. |
