Thurles
Amateur Handicap | Chase | 2m 5f 132y
Going: Soft-soft to heavy in places
Plain Or Battered
PLAIN OR BATTERED bounced back to form when third at Navan last month and can make a bold bid back down in distance. Nolans Rocco looks a danger back over fences, while Oneforgonzo remains in good form and merits consideration from his lower chase mark. Chase debutant Rodney Bay is one to keep an eye on in the betting.

Went with more zest in first-time cheekpieces when second at Fairyhouse (18/1) 49 days ago, and shaped as if in good form from his lower chase mark when 5th of 11 at Down Royal (9/2) 30 days ago. Could be capable of better over fences.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosDown Royal2m 4f 145yYielding to Soft (Soft in places)Chase5/11Fairyhouse2m 4fYieldingHurdle2/24Limerick2m 4fHeavyHurdle8/11Cork2m 4fSoft to HeavyHurdle5/24Cork3m 40yYielding to SoftHurdleF/15- 11Plain Or BatteredJ: Miss P.

Bounced back to form when third of 12 in a handicap chase at Navan on Heavy ground (5/1) 33 days ago, disputed lead until early final circuit and remained prominent until no threat from 2 out. Could be the pace-angle back down in trip. Solid claims.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNavan3mSoft to HeavyChase3/12Thurles2m 6fGood to Yielding (Yielding in places)Chase9/15Punchestown3m 70yHeavyChase3/14Cork3m 80ySoft (Yielding to Soft in places)Hurdle14/20Punchestown3m 183yHeavy (Soft to Heavy in places)Hurdle4/12- 8Nolans RoccoJ: Mr Alan O'SullivanT: Padraig Butler, Ireland-48074PAge 75/1

Winning pointer bounced back to form when fourth of 14 in chase handicap at Tramore but pulled up in maiden hurdle at Punchestown (40/1) 15 days ago, running no sort of race making hurdling bow.

Fifth of 14 in handicap chase at Tramore (28/1) 49 days ago on reappearance/first run after leaving P. J. Rothwell, returned to form but no extra approaching last.

Point winner finished third on chase debut and won a handicap hurdle in March last year. Gambled on but ran no sort of race reverted to fences after 3 months off in handicap at Wexford (7/1) in July and hasn't been seen since.
