Going: Yielding to soft-soft in places on chase course
Workahead
WORKAHEAD was easily the best of these over hurdles and should prove a superior chaser on the basis on his Wexford debut success over fences. Wild Bill Hickok was third behind the selection last time and can chase him home, with Scalpnagoon likely best of the rest.

Smart over hurdles and he looked as if he might make an even better chaser when comfortably winning a 5-runner novice chase at Wexford (2m, good to soft) on debut over fences 23 days ago.

Didn't kick on as expected over hurdles but better signs on stable debut at Aintree in April and he built on that when making a successful Wexford chase debut in May. No match for Workahead there 3 weeks ago, though, and second is probably the best he can hope against that rival.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWexford2mGood to YieldingChase3/5Wexford2mGood to YieldingChase1/10Aintree2m 103yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle11/21Compiegne2m 198ySoftHurdlepu/7Auteuil2m 1f 197yVery softHurdle7/9- 7Talk In The ParkJ: Alan O'SullivanT: Ross O'Sullivan, Ireland234U25-Age 813/213/27/1

Ran respectably in first-time cheekpieces when fifth of 11 in handicap chase at Naas (2½m, heavy, 11/1) 134 days ago but returns from a break here and looks vulnerable to less-exposed rivals,DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNaas2m 4fHeavyChase5/11Fairyhouse2m 5f 55ySoft (Soft to Heavy in places)Chase2/5Punchestown2m 5f 70ySoft to HeavyChaseur/8Limerick3mYielding to SoftChase4/15Listowel2m 6fGood to Yielding (Yielding in places)Chase3/10- 6ScalpnagoonJ: K.

Fairly useful over hurdles and has translated that ability to chasing, placing on all 3 starts since his debut, most recently when second of 12 in novice chase at Ballinrobe (17f, good, 12/1) 14 days ago. Place claims again but unlikely to trouble the favourite.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosBallinrobe2m 1f 54yGood (Good to Yielding in places)Chase2/12Down Royal2m 3f 150yGoodChase2/6Cork2m 1f 45yYielding (Good to Yielding in places)Chase3/7Thurles2m 2fSoft (Soft to Heavy in places)Chase6/10Navan2m 50ySoft to Heavy (Soft in places)Hurdle10/11- 3HaveigotnewsforyouJ: A.

Fairly useful form when landing 11-runner novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f) in spring 2024. Given a considerate return from 20 months off over fences at Gowran in January but let down by jumping when unseating at Leopardstown since. May be one for handicaps after this.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLeopardstown2m 5f 120yYielding (Soft in places)Chaseur/9Gowran Park2m 4fHeavyChase9/9Kilbeggan2m 3fGood to YieldingHurdle1/11Fairyhouse2m 3f 135yHeavyHurdle5/18- 5Reiki RevolutionJ: K.

Bumper winner who made it sixth time lucky over hurdles starting out for present yard at Punchestown in October. Well held when unseating late in a strong novice chase won by Workahead at Wexford on chase debut.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWexford2mGood to YieldingChaseur/5Thurles2m 6f 108yYielding to SoftHurdle4/9Navan2m 5fHeavyHurdlepu/19Punchestown2m 4fGood to YieldingHurdle1/14Kilbeggan3m 1fGood to YieldingHurdle2/6- 2Bannow BlazeJ: J.

Winner over hurdles in at Wexford in October and ran at least as well when second at Cork next time. Not seen to best effect from a long way back when last seen at Leopardstown (2m) over Christmas and he's still the type to take to chasing despite unseating early on debut in this sphere.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosTramore1m 7f 110yGood (Good to Yielding in places)Chaseur/8Leopardstown2mYieldingHurdle11/18Cork1m 7f 200yYielding to SoftHurdle2/11Wexford2m 100yYieldingHurdle1/14Gowran Park2m 80ySoftHurdle2/13- 4Positive EnergyJ: S.

Went backwards following a winning hurdle debut at Navan last spring and made no impact sent chasing at Ballinrobe a fortnight ago.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosBallinrobe2m 1f 54yGood (Good to Yielding in places)Chase9/12Punchestown2m 45yYieldingHurdle19/24Naas2mSoft to HeavyHurdle4/5Naas1m 2f 125yYieldingFlat8/16Gowran Park1m 1f 100yHeavy (Soft in places)Flat2/16
