Gold Dancer
GOLD DANCER completed a hat-trick last autumn before finding Grade 1 company too hot on his last two starts, but the drop to Grade 2 looks ideal and he's fancied to return to winning ways. Oscars Brother already has Grade 2 form from Punchestown and looks a smart stayer in the making who can improve further. Bossofthebrownies ran his best race when second at Naas a fortnight ago.

Progressive chaser who completed a hat-trick last October but has found Grade 1 company too hot in two subsequent starts. Second of 4 at Limerick (12/1) 42 days ago, went prominent third but held soon after 2 out. Drops to Grade 2 company and looks the one to beat.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosLimerick2m 5fSoft to HeavyChase2/4Fairyhouse2m 4f 55yYielding to Soft (Soft in places)Chase2/6Tipperary2m 3f 160yGood to YieldingChase1/5Galway2m 2f 54yGood (Good to Yielding in places)Chase1/11Tipperary2m 130yGood to YieldingChase1/14- 5Western WalkJ: J.

Completed at the second attempt over fences in December after debut at this course and was third of 4 in Grade 1 chase at Limerick (100/1) 42 days ago, though that wasn't a true test.

Won 7 times over hurdles but hasn't won since October 2024 and has struggled over fences, finishing sixth of 9 in maiden chase at Gowran Park (33/1) 17 days ago. Fared better than previously but likely better suited to handicaps than this Grade 2 assignment.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosGowran Park2m 4fHeavyChase6/9Leopardstown2m 5f 70yYieldingChase7/9Fairyhouse2m 5f 152yYielding to Soft (Soft in places)Chase10/15Naas2mSoft (Soft to Heavy in places)Chase11/16Aintree3m 149yGoodHurdle4/11- Non-partants
