10st 4lb

J: Mr M J Kenneally

T: Padraig Butler

Killarney handicap winner in October (2m7f, yielding) and took advantage of lower hurdles mark at Punchestown in February before third in a similar event; well-backed favourite back chasing last month, disputing lead (clear of remainder) when unseating two out at Limerick (2m2f, heavy); remains very much of interest off 2lb higher mark.

T: Padraig Butler

Killarney chase winner in October (2m7f, yielding); went close to following up at Punchestown (3m, heavy); pulled up in a 2m6f contest at this venue at Christmas; took advantage of a lower hurdles mark at Punchestown last month; third in a similar event at that venue last time; back over fences now, trip possibly a bit sharp for him.

J: Mr M J Kenneally

T: Padraig Butler

Killarney (2m7f, yielding) chase winner in October went close to following up next time here (3m, heavy); pulled up at Limerick but took advantage of a lower hurdles mark over 2m3f here last time with an all the way win from 1lb outside the handicap (soft to heavy); should go well again.

Chase winner was pulled-up in that sphere last time; runs off a much lower hurdles mark but is 1lb out of the handicap and will have to get back to his best form.

James The Brave

11st 4lb

J: John Shinnick

T: Padraig Butler

Maiden over hurdles but has made a bright start over fences; beat Zolpharine narrowly at Killarney and reeled in close home by A Great Buzz over 3m (heavy) at Punchestown; taking riders' claims into account, a little worse off at the weights with that rival here.
