McHale Tiger Roll Beginners Chase

Point-to-point winner; sole start under rules a modest fifth in a Cork maiden hunter chase in April 2025; fell on return from a break in Belcare point-to-point in March; yard form a plus but others preferred.

0-7 over hurdles and rated 100; stopped quickly when pulled up on chasing debut at Kilbeggan on first run for 267 days; watching brief advised for now.

Looked a hot prospect when winning his first three starts last summer but progress has stalled; heavy defeats on last four runs over timber, though testing ground probably not ideal for three of them; return to sounder surface a plus, so can't totally discount for top yard.

Point-to-point, bumper and maiden hurdle winner; came up short in graded company and disappointed on handicap hurdle debut at Fairyhouse latest; bred for this game and no surprise to see him run a big race on chasing debut.

Winning hurdler has plenty of experience over fences and rated 116; far from disgraced in Listed handicap chases at Fairyhouse and Punchestown last April/May before falling at Galway when last seen in August; could run well if fit after his break.
