Successful twice over fences at Limerick last season, latest in March. Looked to have gone off the boil later that spring and lower hurdles mark is justified back from 5 months off.

West Away (Ire)

Confirmed promise of stable debut when winning 6-runner maiden chase at Wexford in August by 4½ lengths from Jackson Lamb. Even better form when placed twice since and he has a very handy hurdles mark to exploit. Major claims.

Shaped with promise in a Punchestown bumper (for Philip Fenton) last spring. Didn't come up to scratch in 3 starts over hurdles for Nicky Henderson and left that yard for £16,000 in May. Allotted a stiff mark and well held on stable debut in September.

Fair winner at 2¾m over hurdles. Didn't quite match that level of form in a couple of starts over fences in the late-spring/early-summer and while he failed to build on promise of his Ballinrobe run last time, 3m probably isn't his trip.

Take The Free (Ire)

Age: 4
Weight: 11st 4lbs
Or: 113

Walk In The Park gelding who took his form up another notch when winning extended 2½m conditionals maiden at Roscommon in July by 2¼ lengths from Frankie's Freebie. Disappointed on handicap debut before taking no part at Punchestown (was well out of ground).

Who's Da Goose

Age: 4
Weight: 10st 6lbs
Or: 101

Left qualifying runs well behind when making a successful handicap debut at Wexford (2½m) in August. Up 9 lb but gave another excellent account of himself at Listowel, closing all the way to the line. Shortlisted.

Man Down (Ire)

Age: 5
Weight: 10st 0lbs
Or: 94

Made frame sole completed start in points. Has been brought along steadily over hurdles and now he's been allotted a mark, he rates a likely improver. One to consider.

Timeform Verdict

WEST AWAY has made a superb start for his new yard over fences and from a very fair mark back hurdling, he looks the answer. Who's Da Goose could do with brushing up his jumping but he is a definite threat, while an improved showing from handicap debutant Man Down would come as no surprise.
