Form & Verdict

Latest of three hurdle wins came in blinkers which are refitted here; jumped well on chase debut when outstayed by Someone's Wish over furlong farther at Downpatrick and is now 10lb better off; 2m4f was too far last time; has burst in the past, so always somewhat risky, but has his chance.

Dual-purpose; not a bad effort on the Flat latest; Kilbeggan maiden hurdle winner back in May (2m, good to yielding) and rated 119 over timber; shaped nicely on sole start over fences at Roscommon; Donoghue prefers Hypotenus but at least he comes into this race in some sort of form and he isn't discounted.

Hypotenus

11st 12lb

J: Keith Donoghue

T: Gavin Cromwell

One of two for yard and the choice of Donoghue; dual-purpose; 1-8 over hurdles and rated 130 in that sphere; made late mistakes when well-beaten on his chasing debut at Ballinrobe in May; absent since then and has questions to answer after a 128 day break; in good hands but often races keenly and is not one for maximum faith on recent form.
