Ladbrokes 'Insure Your Acca On Football' Beginners Chase

Talented hurdler rated 132 in that sphere; placed in three of four starts over fences, including over C&D (yld-sft) in December when 16.5l third behind Argento Boy; another decent effort when a 9l second behind Butch Cassidy in a Killarney novice four weeks ago; has won here over timber; big chance.

Chase debutant; rated 123 over timber; won maiden hurdle here in February (2m7f, sft-hvy); poor efforts in handicap hurdles the last twice; related to useful chase winners and not discounted for top yard.

1-4 over hurdles and rated 113; pulled up on chase debut at Kilbeggan (20.5f, good) last June when 6-1 (suffered an overreach to left fore heel); beaten 20l on return at Limerick last month when 7-2; capable of better but a bit to prove for now.

2-2 in French bumpers; 2-10 and rated 130 over hurdles; fine second in Grade 2 novice hurdle at Chepstow (19.5f, good) in October; tailed off in rated hurdle when last seen at Fairyhouse in November; that was too bad to be true and his dam won over fences so could improve for switch to chasing but stamina to prove for this trip.

Point-to-point winner; modest maiden over hurdles rated 103; rated 95 after three poor efforts over fences (pulled up, beaten 52l and pulled up); hard to fancy in this company.
