Leopardstown

Tomorrow, December 27, 2024Chase2m1f

DINOBLUE was the Willie Mullins first-string when winning this race last year and while that won't be the case this time round with Gaelic Warrior on the prowl, she has race-fitness on her side having chasing home another classy stablemate in Energumene on her recent reappearance at Cork and will be spot-on for this assignment. Gaelic Warrior was so impressive when brushing Found A Fifty aside in the Arkle and, if able to deliver a performance akin to that, he will obviously be a big threat.

    Top-class chaser. 2¼ lengths second of 4 to Il Etait Temps in Barberstown Castle Novices' Chase (Colliers) (1/3) at Punchestown (16.3f, good to soft) on final start of last season. Beat Found A Fifty by 8½ lengths in the Arkle at the Cheltenham Festival on his penultimate start. Sets the standard.

    High-class chaser. C&D winner. Didn't need to be at best when taking the Fortria Chase at Navan (16f, good to soft, 11/8) 41 days ago by neck from Solness. Held by Gaelic Warrior judged on their clash at the Cheltenham Festival but he's a solid, reliable type and can be expected to run a big race.

    Very smart chaser. Creditable 10 lengths second to Energumene in Hilly Way Chase at Cork (16.7f, good to soft, 5/2) recently. Winner of this 12 months ago and while her task is tougher this time round with Gaelic Warrior in opposition, she may well rise to the challenge. Tongue strap on 1st time

    Smart chaser. C&D winner. 8/11, respectable 7½ lengths second of 5 to Quilixios in Poplar Square Chase at Naas (16f, good to soft) last time. Yet to scale the heights he did as a hurdler (winner of Supreme Novices' Hurdle at the 2023 Cheltenham Festival) but certainly not one to write off just yet.

    Verdict
    High-class chaser, notably winning the Champion Chase at the Cheltenham Festival in March. 5/2, pulled up in Fortria Chase at Navan (16f, good to soft) won by Found A Fifty 41 days ago, tailed off when pulled up 3 out. May well bounce back with a bold show but he looks vulnerable nonetheless.

    Smart chaser. C&D winner. Five wins from 19 NH runs. 11/1, well-beaten fifth of 6 to Found A Fifty in Fortria Chase at Navan (16f, good to soft) 41 days ago. Clearly has work to do.

    Smart chaser. C&D winner. Five wins from 17 NH runs. Latest win in hurdle at Sligo in October. 18/1, 25¼ lengths fourth of 6 to Jonbon in Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown (15.4f, soft) 20 days ago. Not without an each-way squeak.

    Verdict
    Smart chaser. C&D winner. Seven wins from 17 NH runs. 10/1, below form 28 lengths fourth of 8 to Energumene in Hilly Way Chase at Cork (16.7f, good to soft) 19 days ago, finishing some way adrift of re-opposing stable companion Dinoblue. Arguably the most unlikely winner of the 4 Mullins runners.

    Useful chaser. Blinkered for 1st time, excellent 1¼ lengths third of 6 to Found A Fifty in Fortria Chase (200/1) at Navan (16f, good to soft) 41 days ago. Uphill task.
