Maiden Stakes | Chase | 3m 2f
Going: Heavy
Rokathir
ROKATHIR jumped and travelled with plenty of fluency when running out a wide margin winner at Navan 2 weeks ago and he can defy a 15 lb higher mark. There are interesting types in opposition, though, not least Showurappreciation, who did well to come from off the pace to score at Punchestown last time, and recent course novice winner Nelson County.

Won big-field handicap hurdle at Cork on final outing last season and is already better over fences, suited by way race developed when winning 9-runner novice chase at this course (21.7f, soft) 38 days ago.

Much improved on just his second chase outing when winning 17-runner event (14/1) at Navan (24f, heavy) 13 days ago. Stable in good form.

Successful sole outing in points and fair winner at 19f over hurdles. Ran much better than on chasing debut when third of 11 in maiden at Fairyhouse (16.2f, heavy, 22/1) and can do better now handicapping.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosFairyhouse2m 55ySoftChase3/11Cork2m 5f 50yYielding (Yielding to Soft in places)Chase9/15Cork2m 4fYieldingHurdle11/15Wexford3m 110yYielding to SoftHurdleF/11Wexford2mGood to YieldingHurdle4/14- 1No Time To WaitJ: M.

Error-prone sort was runner-up twice in this company in the summer. 50/1, thirteenth of 28 in Paddy Power Chase at Leopardstown (24.4f, good) 56 days ago.

Was a useful hurdler but yet to really make an impact over fences, found wanting for stamina when 33 lengths fifth of 17 to Rokathir in handicap chase (28/1) at Navan (24f, heavy) 13 days ago.

Career best when easily winning 13-runner handicap chase at Punchestown (22.6f, heavy, 5/1) 41 days ago, despite having to overcome positional bias. Progressing recently and makes appeal again from 10 lb higher mark.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosPunchestown2m 6f 123ySoft to HeavyChase1/13Navan3mSoft to HeavyChase3/12Cork2m 5f 50yYielding (Yielding to Soft in places)Chase8/15Punchestown2m 3f 58yYieldingHurdle8/25Naas2m 4f 29ySoftChase6/15
