FormscanBy Tom Weekes - BLAZER is a capable if somewhat frustrating type but might get his turn today. He has always hinted at having enough ability to win a big handicap and while he was a third-season novice when winning his beginners chase in 2017, has since shown some very useful bits of form. The form he displayed to finish second in last August's Galway Hurdle now looks very solid, given his conqueror Sharjah won a Grade 1 hurdle over Christmas and he did very well to take sixth place in the Paddy Power Chase at Leopardstown over Christmas, given he blundered badly at the sixth last fence. He drops down in trip today but is well suited by two miles. Duca De Thaix was hit with a 10lb ratings hike for winning here last month but also has claims over today's similar trip. A useful Grade 3 winning hurdler, he seems to have warmed to chasing gradually and was a comfortable winner here recently. Today represents a step up for him but he is still just a 6yo and can progress further, with today's ground to suit also. Cubomania, a one-time Godolphin cast-off, has himself progressed and also holds strong claims. He ran a very solid race to finish second at Leopardstown over Christmas (Tycoon Prince was fourth, Bel Ami De Sivola fifth) and comes here a proven performer at this grade, over this trip and on good ground. Trainer Ted Walsh doesn't exactly dote on Kildorrery but the quirky gelding is nonetheless a capable enough performer on today's good ground and over this trip. He missed his intended handicap chase debut over Christmas due to a nasal discharge and while he cannot be dismissed today, he does face a tough enough task from his 132 initial chase rating. Kylecrue ran well when second at Limerick over Christmas and despite his years, can be expected to again run well here while Three Stars drops back to handicap company today but may not be ahead of the handicapper.%0A
