FormscanBy Tom Weekes - GIN ON LIME has been outclassed by high-class horses on recent runs. Ideally suited to a sound surface, she was a fortunate winner at Cheltenham in November and was well beaten at Aintree and Killarney but faces lesser opponents and has already won five of ten chases. Similarly owned Say Goodbye won well on chase debut at Killarney recently, a race the selection won in 2021 and should make a better chaser than hurdler. She receives 5lb from the selection but nonetheless faces a stiff task. Last year's Punchestown festival winner Rapid Response is greatly helped by receiving 10lb from the selection but was beaten a long way in a Grade 2 at Punchestown last month and represents a yard which isn't quite firing. John Ryan's pair Presenting Bonnie and That's Lifebuoy have hauled €72,000 in prizemoney but are out of their depth.
