O'Driscolls Irish Whiskey Hunters Chase

Reserve; seven-race maiden in points; faces a huge task on racecourse debut.

2-12 in points; improved from Limerick run at Christmas when a 25-1 winner of a maiden hunter chase at Thurles in January; handled heavy conditions well, and did well to recover from a bad mistake at the seventh; third in the Tetratema at Gowran last time, winner Let's Go Champ franked the form with Aintree Foxhunter third.

Off the mark at the fourth attempt in point-to-points for Cormac Doyle at Ballingarry (3m, good) last May; made a bright start for Willie and Patrick Mullins when beating Magic Sadler (winner of nine points) in a maiden hunter chase at Clonmel in January; 7lb claimer takes over now on a youngster expected to mature into a top-class performer in this category.

Only one win from ten starts in points; now on the upgrade; good run in defeat against West Of Idaho at Tyrella before a remote third in a hunter chase at Downpatrick; came good at Cork at fortnight ago, winning gamely with the two market leaders filling the places; stronger opposition now.

Veteran with modest strike rate in points (1-19); sprang a 33-1 shock in this race last year; likely to be available at big odds again; out of the money in his last two starts in points.
