Or: 110

A while now since his last win but shaped as if retaining all ability after 7 months off when fourth of 11 in handicap chase at Limerick (2½m, good, 5/1) 10 days ago. Frame claims again.

Vina Ardanza (Ire)

Age: 9

Fairly useful chase winner for Gordon Elliott in 2023 but no great shakes in hunter/handicap chases for this yard last summer. Plenty to prove after 11 months off.

Andys Flame

Age: 9
Weight: 11st 5lbs
Or: 113

Fair winner at 19f over hurdles and off the mark over fences at the fifth attempt at Kelso last April. Held back by his jumping when fourth of 5 in handicap chase at Cartmel (25f, heavy) in June and others look more solid propositions on return from 11 months off.

Charlie Luciano (Ire)

Winless since 2023 and he had seemingly completely lost his form when last seen in the autumn. Easy to oppose after 6 months off.

Warriors Wood

Age: 6
Weight: 11st 7lbs
Or: 115

Dual hurdles winner last summer and he's taken pretty well to chasing (unseat on debut not his fault), keeping on well into second in a 14-runner novice at this course (2½m, good) 16 days ago. Makes handicap debut from workable mark.

Trasna Na Pairce (Ire)

Age: 7
Weight: 11st 10lbs
Or: 118

Won a couple of novice hurdles at Clonmel last summer and was progressing gradually over fences until a poor run at Leopardstown over Christmas. Faded late as if needing the outing when fifth at Wexford 3 weeks ago and he's interesting going back up in trip with trainer still in good form.

Timeform Verdict

IAMAGETAWAY was well backed and ran so promisingly on chase debut here that he can be given another chance despite not firing at Killarney last time. Warriors Wood and Trasna Na Pairce are also considered.
