Ballinrobe Race 5 - Boyle Sports Home Of The Early Payout Chase
With the likely absence of BOWENSONFIRE (4) and JAZZY MATTY (6) (ran at Killarney on Saturday) the door could be left open for ADDRAGOOLE (1) to put his chasing experience to good use. Managed to take a competitive Leopardstown handicap chase last Christmas (3400m) and should be up to defying a penalty on second run of the campaign. BUNTING (5) hasn't scored since his stable debut back in December 2023. Keeping some lofty company and finished sixth beaten 8L in a Listed hurdle at Galway latest. Might feature making belated chase debut. RUNCOK (3) remains in early days for his current stable. Did win a chase last summer for previous connections. Looks next best.

Previously second-up finished third of 14 starters at Leopardstown in the LR Sandyford Handicap Steeplechase on February 2 over 3419m, slow track; 7 len behind Jacob's Ladder carrying 71kg at $8.
