Formscan By Donal Murphy - WHISKEYWEALTH appeals here with John Shinnick claiming a valuable 7lb. While he ran below par in the Dan Moore at Fairyhouse in January, he bounced back to form when striking over flights at Naas early last month. In the aftermath of that success at the Tipper Road venue, his trainer Terence O'Brien indicated this race as a target. Down at the foot of the handicap, Sunnyvilla is an interesting contender. Pulled up on three consecutive starts, he hinted at a return to form when fourth at Thurles when tried in cheekpieces for the first time. Those cheekpieces are unsurprisingly retained now and it'll be interesting to see how he fares off bottom weight. The Willie Mullins duo of Figaroc and Feu Du Bresil are sure to have plenty of supporters. Both start off in handicap company and it'll come as no surprise should either prevail. In truth, it's difficult to safely rule out any of these, with Pat's Choice, La Malmason, Bonnie Kellie and Happy Dreams all capable of making their presence felt.
An extended handicap steeplechase for five years old and upwards that have run at least three times in steeplechases up to and including 5th March 2024
Penalties - Winner of a steeplechase or steeplechases after calculation of the handicap shall carry any penalty or penalties which may be allotted by the Handicapper.
