Dan & Breda Byrne Memorial Handicap Steeplechase

Farrokh won last time out and has run over today's trip and conditions before, lending him some solid claims; the 37-day gap and a hefty 166 lb to carry are the chief questions to resolve.

Winless in his last five starts, Sammy Smart at least has experience of today's trip and going to call on, and at 166 lb he faces a stiff ask — yet our rating just about edges him ahead of his rivals, making him the one to side with.

Catalani arrives in cracking form, winning last time out and placing in two of the three starts before that, and his experience on today's going is a further asset; the weight burden of 165 lb is the one factor worth monitoring.

Kasper Hauser arrives on the back of back-to-back wins and shaped with promise when third three starts back, making him a potent force here; carrying 163 lb off a mark of 114 is the chief concern against him.

Luimneach arrives on the back of a win last time out and has experience of both today's trip and conditions, making him a clear threat on our third-best rating; the main concern is that two of his last five starts brought a pull-up and a fifth, highlighting some inconsistency.
