Happy Jacky
HAPPY JACKY was in good form when last seen over hurdles, is now lower in the weights than when placed in this race last year and has a decent record fresh, so is taken to come out on top. O'Moore Park is not the most fluent of jumpers but has enough solid handicap form to suggest he can make his presence felt despite top weight, while The Gradual Slope cannot be dismissed after returning to form with a bang last time.

Yet to taste success over fences but plenty of at least respectable handicap efforts to his name, including when sixth in the Plate at Cheltenham and seventh in the Topham at Aintree on his last 2 starts. Return to 3m will suit and claims at his best, but suspect jumping remains a concern.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAintree2m 5f 19yGood to SoftChase7/27Cheltenham2m 4f 44yGood to SoftChase6/23Leopardstown2m 5f 107ySoftChase12/23Leopardstown3m 100yYielding (Good to Yielding in places)Chase5/28Newbury3m 1f 214yGood to SoftChase10/24- 6Pride Of PlaceJ: C.

Lightly-raced chaser who was third to Cadatharla in this race last year off a 2 lb higher mark prior to winning minor hurdles at Cork and Down Royal.

Unreliable type overall but arrives in good order after finishing second on last 2 starts, chasing home Supreme Jet in 15-runner veteran handicap at Wexford (19f, soft, 6/1) last time.

Capitalised on much-reduced mark when bouncing back to form in a 17-runner handicap chase (16/1) at Fairyhouse (21f, soft) in April. Benefited from being held up in strongly-run race there but 5 lb rise is manageable on his peak form. Races from 1 lb out of the handicap.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosFairyhouse2m 5f 45yYielding to Soft (Soft in places)Chase1/17Down Royal3m 2f 50yGood to YieldingChase4/4Leopardstown3m 4f 61yYieldingChase10/13Navan3mHeavyChasepu/17Limerick3mSoft to HeavyHurdlepu/16- 7Kamikaz Du PlessisJ: Danny GilliganT: Gordon Elliott, Ireland333634-Age 611/19/110/1

Enjoyed a fruitful 2025/26 campaign, winning handicap hurdle at Clonmel and handicap chase at this course to go alongside several good in-frame efforts. Ran poorly when last seen and, though he's gone well fresh in the past, faces an uphill task from 8 lb out of the handicap.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCork2m 5f 50yYielding (Yielding to Soft in places)Chasepu/15Cork3m 4fGood to YieldingChase4/13Thurles2m 5f 80yGood (Good to Yielding in places)Chase2/18Galway2m 6f 111yYielding (Yielding to Soft in places)Chase2/15Punchestown2m 7f 39yGood to YieldingChase2/10- 11Supreme GiftJ: G.
