Way Down South
WAY DOWN SOUTH did well to overcome a mistake when opening his chase account at Cork in January and he could be capable of scoring again now that he's up and running in this sphere. Shanroe Act is feared most having won his only previous start over fences, ahead of Sophia Rose.

Fair hurdler who, fitted with cheekpieces and tongue strap for the first time, bounced back to form in this sphere when winning maiden at Cork in January, overcoming a bad mistake 4 out. Hurdles success came after a similar time off and he's a major player.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCork2m 4fYielding to Soft (Soft in places)Chase1/11Limerick2m 6f 120ySoft to HeavyChase7/12Thurles2m 6fGood to Yielding (Yielding in places)Chase7/15Thurles2m 6fYieldingChase9/11Killarney2m 7f 100yYieldingChase4/6- 12Donnrua DreamJ: Liam QuinlanT: Ray Hackett, Ireland767P167Age 99/29/24/1

In first-time blinkers and tongue strap, capitalised on his falling mark over hurdles at this course (2m) in February. Below that level both outings since, though, and form was mixed when previously tried over fences (first chase start for current yard).DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLimerick2m 50ySoft to Heavy (Heavy in places )Hurdle7/13Clonmel2m 76yHeavyHurdle6/9Limerick1m 7f 150yHeavyHurdle1/12Fairyhouse2m 4fSoftHurdlepu/16Limerick2m 3fSoft to HeavyHurdle7/13- 4Sophia RoseJ: Keith DonoghueT: Gavin Patrick Cromwell, Ireland152342PAge 711/213/26/1

Winning hurdler who showed better form when making the frame on first 4 starts over fences, including when fourth of 14 in handicap here in December. In first-time cheekpieces (now discarded), pulled up on latest outing but no surprise to see her bounce back.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNavan2m 4f 90yHeavyChasepu/5Punchestown2m 6f 35ySoft to Heavy (Heavy in places)Chase2/7Limerick2m 1f 130ySoft to HeavyChase4/14Gowran Park2m 4fHeavyChase3/17Downpatrick2m 3f 100yYielding (Yielding to Soft in places)Chase2/7- 2Hello JackJ: J.

Developed into a fairly useful hurdler last season, winning 3 times, and made his second start over fences a successful one in handicap over further at this course in December.

Justified support when winning handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse in January and landed the odds in handicap at Downpatrick on chase debut 5 days later. Pulled up back over hurdles last time, but he's worth another chance with more still to offer as a chaser.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosFairyhouse2m 4f 50yHeavyHurdlepu/16Down Royal2m 4f 145yYielding to Soft (Soft in places)Chase1/11Fairyhouse2m 4fSoftHurdle1/15Cork2m 4fSoft to HeavyHurdlepu/24Limerick3m 100yHeavy (Soft in places)Hurdle7/12- 10Knockbrack RamblerJ: Danny GilliganT: Brendan Maurice Walsh, Ireland 0-00P85Age 99/19/18/1

Both career victories at this course (over hurdles on first occasion) back in 2023/24. From his falling mark has made the frame last 2 outings, returned to chasing when fourth of 16 over 23f here 19 days ago, but he still has work to do in this contest.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLimerick2m 6f 170yHeavyChase4/16Limerick2m 5fHeavyHurdle2/14Limerick2m 3fSoft to HeavyHurdle8/13Clonmel2m 110yHeavyHurdle11/16Limerick2m 5fHeavy (Soft in places)Hurdle6/14- 1MalbasJ: K.

Revitalised by a change of yards, making it 2 wins from 3 starts when scoring over 2m at Kilbeggan last summer.
