Selected odds by:

Tullyhill^t⁸⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| T: W P Mullins| OR: 146| BF| CD

5/1

Folded as if amiss when pulled up in novice chase at Thurles (16f, good, 4/7) 84 days ago, losing touch from end of back straight. Talented novice hurdler and excellent second two previous tries over fences. In the right hands to bounce back now handicapping.

Form: 8P-22P

Aspire Tower²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 142| CD

18/1

Five wins from 18 NH runs. Two wins from 5 runs last season. 4/1, career best when winning 8-runner novice chase at Wexford (16f, soft) 27 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. and mark looks very fair.

Form: -13931

Midnight It Is⁵⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 137| D

14/1

Picked up where he left off when landing handicap chase at Navan in December. Better than ever when third of 20 in Grand Annual (25/1) at Cheltenham (15.9f, good to soft) 50 days ago so another bold bid would come as no surprise.

Form: 1-1383

Mirazur West¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| T: W P Mullins| OR: 135| D

3/1

Promising type. Didn't need to improve to win 11-runner novice chase (8/11) at Cork (17.1f, good to soft) 11 days ago, always holding on. Type to raise his fame further in 2m handicap and he has to be feared for leading connections.

Form: 4-2641

The Folkes Tiara^t²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 135

40/1

Latest win in chase at Fairyhouse in November. 10/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap chase at Aintree (15.8f, good) 28 days ago, though that isn't a race to judge him harshly on.

Form: P0-120

What's Up Darling²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| T: G Elliott| OR: 135| D

16/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Respectable 14¼ lengths third of 8 to Aspire Tower in novice chase (10/3) at Wexford (16f, soft) 27 days ago, inadequate test. This should be run at a better tempo for him kept to 2m.

Form: 4235B3

An Peann Dearg^h,t⁴⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| T: P Nolan| OR: 132

25/1

Back-to-back Leopardstown winner this winter but could manage only sixteenth of 20 in the Plate at Cheltenham (20.6f, good to soft) 49 days ago. Down in trip. Not taken lightly.

Form: 342110

Captains Nephew^t⁶⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 130| D

50/1

Seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle at Naas (15.5f, heavy, 7/2) 67 days ago. Better over fences but mark reflects that.

Form: -97567

Jasko Des Dames^t⁵⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 129| C

8/1

Hit the ground running with 2 wins over fences, latterly over C&D in November. Good fifth of 20 in Grand Annual at Cheltenham (15.9f, good to soft, 22/1) 50 days ago. Open to further progress.

Form: 311255

The Dasher Conway²⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-9| T: Mrs G Callaghan| OR: 129| D

100/1

14/1, below form fifth of 9 in handicap chase at Wexford (19.4f, soft) 27 days ago. Tough to assess at present.

Form: 626605

Lazer Wolf⁵⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 128| D

33/1

Latest win in chase at Clonmel in December. 11/1, below form 25½ lengths fourth of 11 to Champagne Mahler in handicap chase at Gowran (16f, heavy) 54 days ago. Isn't the type to stay down for long.

Form: -55134

Gaelic Arc¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-7| T: J P Ryan| OR: 127| D

66/1

Still above last winning mark and looks in a lull, last of 8 in novice chase at Fairyhouse (20f, soft) 11 days ago.

Form: 626F08

Keep Running^t⁶⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| T: W Greatrex| OR: 127| D

6/1

Made all in a brace od small-field handicaps in Britain this winter and another sound effort when second of 9 in handicap chase at Kempton (20.5f, soft, 11/2) 68 days ago. Back down in trip for in-firm yard but dominating these a different ask.

Form: 2-P112

Petit Tonnerre^p²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 127| D

16/1

Ended a losing run stretching back 3 years when ing first chase victory at Doncaster (16.3f) in January, well suited by the strong gallop. Brought down through no fault of his own back there next time but made no impression from off the pace at Aintree latest.

Form: 2661B9

A Law Of Her Own^v⁴⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 125| D

20/1

Career best when winning 7-runner novice chase (12/1) at Thurles (18.1f, good) 47 days ago, always holding on. Had the benefit of an enterprising ride that day and much more on her plate here.

Form: 3235P1

Champagne Mahler⁵⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 125| D

12/1

Career best when winning 11-runner handicap chase (7/2) at Gowran (16f, heavy) 54 days ago. Should have more to offer given the manner in which he put that race to bed.

Form: 3-0721

Dutch Schultz¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 125

40/1

Right back to form when second of 8 in novice chase at Fairyhouse (20f, soft, 22/1) 11 days ago. Will need a very well-run race to bring him into this back over 2m.

Form: PU7572

Gabriel's Getaway^t⁶¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-4| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 124| D

12/1

Off 13 months but shaped as though retaining ability when creditable fifth of 9 in handicap chase at Doncaster (16.4f, good) 61 days ago. Has to be taken seriously with that under his belt.

Form: /431-5

Spinning Web^t⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| T: Ms M Mullins| OR: 124| D

16/1

Flat bred but has really started to flourish over fences, recording brace of Thurles wins, career best when winning 13-runner handicap chase (20.8f, good) 47 days ago, kept up to work. Back down in trip. Should progress further.

Form: 090211

Aslukwoodhavit^t³⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-3| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 123| CD

33/1

Course winner. Fourth of 9 in handicap chase at Limerick (19.6f, soft, 9/1) 39 days ago. Doesn't always find for pressure but return to 2m may well help him, at least.

Form: 4P0-44

Dont Go Yet^p²⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 10-2| T: E Cawley| OR: 122| D

33/1

Given a break and ran up to form when second of 9 in handicap chase at Wexford (19.4f, soft) 27 days ago. Veteran now so vulnerable to anything with scope.

Form: -85442

The Dara Man^t³⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-1| T: J P Ryan| OR: 121

80/1

Unreliable type. One win from 3 runs last season. Last of 9 in handicap chase at Limerick (19.6f, soft, 14/1) 39 days ago, possibly amiss. Tongue strap back on. Has work to do.

Form: 32-1P9

Tuckmill^b¹⁰⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 114| D

66/1

Latest win in chase at Down Royal in November. 11/2, sixth of 9 in handicap hurdle at this course (16.4f, soft) 108 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase and this looks too deep a race.

Form: 126156

Forecasts

Mirazur West (3/1), Tullyhill (5/1), Keep Running (6/1), Jasko Des Dames (8/1), Champagne Mahler (12/1), Gabriel's Getaway (12/1), Midnight It Is (14/1), Petit Tonnerre (16/1), What's Up Darling (16/1), Spinning Web (16/1), Aspire Tower (18/1), A Law Of Her Own (20/1), An Peann Dearg (25/1), Dont Go Yet (33/1), Lazer Wolf (33/1), Aslukwoodhavit (33/1), Dutch Schultz (40/1), The Folkes Tiara (40/1), Captains Nephew (50/1), Gaelic Arc (66/1), Tuckmill (66/1), The Dara Man (80/1), The Dasher Conway (100/1)

Any number to consider and while MIRAZUR WEST lacks exposure in this sort of big-field handicap environment, he appeals as the type to relish it, so he is offered. Similar sentiments apply to stablemate Tullyhill, but he boasts a different background given his talent as a hurdler so he is feared, with Spinning Web an interesting British raider.
