Sense Of Occasion
Promising SENSE OF OCCASION wasn't given a hard time when well held on qualifying run and is fancied to improve now handicapping. He's preferred to Piccolo Player, who ought to fare better returning to the scene of his previous victory, with Clonmel runner-up Market Ready another to note.

Point runner-up has shown promise in maidens, still not looking the finished article when fourth (having been supported) at Downpatrick in January, and he remains with potential now switched to a handicap by excellent yard.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosDown Royal2m 1f 33yYielding to SoftHurdle4/20Limerick2mHeavyHurdle5/17Navan2mSoft to Heavy (Heavy in places)Hurdle4/25- 7Market ReadyJ: S.

Ran at least as well as he had in maidens when runner-up on handicap bow at Clonmel last time.

Much improved when runner-up in a listed mares novice at Thurles (21.5f) in February, for all there was an element of picking up the pieces. However, she'd be dangerous to dismiss if translating that form to hurdles with hood back on.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosThurles2m 5f 132ySoft to HeavyChase2/6Thurles2m 2fSoft (Soft to Heavy in places)Chase4/10Navan2m 4f 40ySoft to HeavyHurdle6/10Naas2m 3fSoft to HeavyHurdle1/16Fairyhouse2m 4f 80yHeavyHurdle6/16- 1Hardy StuffJ: J.

Edged out a fairly useful pair to win a big-field juvenile at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting but well beaten on subsequent starts at Cheltenham, looking a less-than-straightforward ride on handicap debut in the Fred Winter.

Off the mark in maiden hurdle at Down Royal before finding further improvement when second at Gowran on handicap bow, and she'll benefit from this return to calmer waters, having finished well held at Leopardstown in early-February.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosLeopardstown2m 2fHeavyHurdle11/18Gowran Park2m 4f 40ySoftHurdle2/7Down Royal2m 1f 87yGood (Good to Firm in places)Hurdle1/7Cork2m 1f 20yGood (Good to Yielding in places)Hurdle3/17Punchestown2m 100yGood to YieldingHurdle4/22- 5Piccolo PlayerJ: M.

Won a C&D maiden readily on sole previous visit here and having run creditably in handicaps before doing too much too soon at Gowran last time, he looks well worth another chance.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosGowran Park2m 50yHeavy (Soft in places)Hurdle6/11Naas1m 7f 110yHeavyHurdle5/16Thurles1m 7f 168yYieldingHurdle3/13Limerick2mSoft to HeavyHurdle9/12Fairyhouse2mYielding to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle6/6- 6Chosen ShantJ: Phillip EnrightE: Aengus King, Ireland10P4055Âge 1020/125/122/1

Went off the boil following a summer Wexford double, faring little better over fences at Clonmel/Limerick in November.

Again belied the odds (25/1) when making it 2 wins from 3 starts over hurdles over C&D last time, though he was suited by how things panned out and faces sterner opposition on this occasion.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosLimerick2m 50ySoft to Heavy (Heavy in places )Hurdle1/13Roscommon1m 4f 46ySoft (Heavy in places)Flat8/16Listowel2mYielding to SoftHurdle5/10Killarney2m 1fYielding to Soft (Yielding in places)Hurdle1/7Ballinrobe1m 1f 138yGood (Good to Yielding in places)Flat9/14
