Pool Value: £7359.82

There is no doubt that Encanto Bruno has the strongest form in the race but it has been a long time since he has shown anything like his best and he might be worth taking on. Baltic Bird is interesting on chase debut but it might pay to side with the more experienced BIG STAGE (nap) who will appreciate the drop in trip and return to a sounder surface after an encouraging handicap run at Navan.

No.	Selection	Form		Guide	ToteWin	TotePlace
1	Baltic Bird P M O'Brien / W Durkan	6yrs / 11st 12lb 14073- Spotlight		6/5	2.00	1.30
Baltic Bird Dual-purpose Flat and hurdles winner; rated 125 over timber; not an obvious candidate for chasing on breeding but he shaped nicely on his return from a break in a 2m1f handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe last month and the step up in trip will suit; interesting on chasing debut.
2	Be Positive C G O'Dwyer / S Neville	6yrs / 11st 12lb 47807- Spotlight		25/1	8.70	2.60
Be Positive Chase debutant 0-4 over hurdles and rated 95; beaten 33l when seventh of 18 in a 3m Cork maiden hurdle on latest last month; half-brother to a chase winner but unlikely to be good enough to take this.
3	Big Stage K C Sexton / G Elliott	7yrs / 11st 12lb F3075- Spotlight	121	13/8	2.30	1.10
Big Stage Point-to-point and hurdles winner is 0-6 in chases and rated 119; best effort in this sphere an 18l third of 13 in a 21.5f Fairyhouse beginners' behind Impaire Et Passe; not a bad effort in a listed novice handicap chase on latest at Navan (23.5f, soft) in first-time tongue tie (retained); likes good ground and should go well back in trip.
4	Encanto Bruno K E Buckley / G P Cromwell	7yrs / 11st 12lb 9/PP2- Spotlight	120	11/4	0.00	0.00
Encanto Bruno Bumper and hurdles winner; rated 139 over timber but last won in that sphere in October 2023; lost action when pulling up on chase debut at Gowran in October and beaten 20l over 2m4f (good) in a beginners' here on his first run since last month; undoubtedly classy but he comes with risks attached.
5	Step Out Ben Bromley / S R B Crawford	6yrs / 11st 12lb 2U3436 Spotlight	120	5/1	5.40	2.00
Step Out Winning hurdler rated 117 in that sphere; 0-6 in chases and rated 115; beaten off that mark in a handicap chase here over 3m2f last month; fared better in a C&D beginners' on penultimate when an 8.25l third behind Ballysax Hank; needs more to win this.
6	Wowsham R Deegan / S R B Crawford	10yrs / 11st 12lb 342/P- Spotlight		20/1	18.40	4.70
Wowsham Point-to-point and maiden hurdle winner; 0-4 in chases, though has run well in defeat, but pulled up on return from long layoff in a 26.5f handicap hurdle at Perth last month; most of his best recent form is on testing ground so underfoot conditions are a concern; others preferred.
