Settings
Selected odds by:
Lightly-raced winner in chases. 10/3, career best when winning 7-runner hunter chase at Fairyhouse (24.6f, soft) 10 days ago by 18 lengths from Hollow Games. Well in the mix.
|
Fairly useful winner at 19f over hurdles. 100/1, very good sixth of 24 in Foxhunters at Cheltenham (26.3f, good to soft) 49 days ago. Not discounted.
|
Fair chaser. Course winner. 5/1, tenth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (19.8f, good) 7 months ago for Ben Haslam. Since landed a point but more is needed here for new yard.
|
Fairly useful chaser. 100/1, below form sixteenth of 29 in hunter chase at Aintree (21.1f, good) 29 days ago. Needs to bounce back.
|
Modest hurdler/chaser. Twelfth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (20.4f, good to soft, 33/1) 8 months ago. Runner-up in a point recently so no forlron hope.
|
Useful hurdler. Fourteen wins from 43 NH runs. Tailed-off fifth of 7 to Big Interest in hunter chase at Fairyhouse (24.6f, soft, 66/1) 10 days ago. Others appeal more.
|
Useful hurdler/chaser. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Respectable 18 lengths second of 7 to Big Interest in hunter chase (5/1) at Fairyhouse (24.6f, soft) 10 days ago. Possibilities.
|
Useful chaser who has taken the past two running of this event. Good second of 24 in Foxhunters at Cheltenham (26.3f, good to soft) 49 days ago, sticking to task. Big shout in his hat-trick bid.
|
Fairly useful chaser. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 14/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Cork (28f, good) 180 days ago. Landed a point since but others still preferred.
|
Fairly useful chaser. 28/1, respectable twelfth of 29 in hunter chase at Aintree (21.1f, good) 29 days ago, needing stiffer test. Thirteen runs since last win in 2021.
|
Useful hurdler/chaser. Twenty second of 29 in hunter chase at Aintree (21.1f, good, 66/1) 29 days ago. Twelve runs since last win in 2022.
|
Modest hurdler/chaser. Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Listowel (23.4f, good, 9/1) 11 months ago. Pulled up in a point recently and hard to warm to.
|
Fairly useful chaser. 4/6, career best when winning 6-runner hunter chase at Kempton (20.5f, good) 31 days ago, easily. Up in trip and can't be ruled out.
|
Multiple point winner and plenty to like about his switch to Rules, readily going in at Thurles in January for Sean Doyle before an excellent third in Foxhunters at Cheltenham for his new stable. Faded from last when tenth in Aintree hunters chase last time but well worth another chance.

Forecasts
Its On The Line (10/11), Viroflay (16/5), Big Interest (7/1), Willitgoahead (9/1), Carnfunnock (12/1), Ontheropes (18/1), Hollow Games (20/1), Ramillies (40/1), Dorking Cock (40/1), Ciel De Neige (66/1), Macgiloney (66/1), Sheephaven Flyer (100/1), Francois (100/1), Go Another One (200/1)
ITS ON THE LINE teed himself up perfectly for a third successive victory in this when a good second in the Foxhunters at the Cheltenham Festival so can't be opposed. Willitgoahead appeals as the one to chase home Emmet Mullins' 8-y-o ahead of Big Interest and Viroflay.
