Clonmel Race 1 - SIS Supporting Irish Racing Chase
MAXXUM (3) has been highly tried throughout his career but does have a win under his belt over fences. Cheekpieces are now removed and this represents a big drop in class. Very hard to oppose. Stablemate DEE CAPO (1) ran well at Leopardstown in February in a G3 handicap chase and that form would be enough to see him go very close. LOOK TO THE WEST (5) was back from an absence when falling at Fairyhouse on New Years Day. Gets some weight relief here and a big run would not be a big surprise. ALONG THE WAY (2) remains a maiden and will be of more interest in the future when switching to handicaps.

Useful type. Last outing finished 14th of 23 starters at Cheltenham on March 10 over 4023m, 31 len behind Madara with 76kg at $34. Run before finished fourth of 23 runners at Leopardstown in the G3 Leopardstown Handicap Chase on February 1 over 4325m, slow track; 5 len behind Backmersackme carrying 74.5kg at $17. Only needs to jump well to be right in the finish.

Third-up today. First-up finished tenth of 14 starters at Punchestown on February 15 over 3218m, on heavy track; 15 len behind Jump Allen with 76kg at $8. Second run from a spell finished sixth of 9 starters at Leopardstown on March 3 over 4325m, 39 len behind Joyau De Thaix carrying 75.5kg at $34. Might find this a bit too tough.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up finished third in a small field at Navan in the G2 Boyne Hurdle on February 8 over 4425m, on a wet track; 4.5 len behind Staffordshire Knot with 73.5kg at $11. Second run from a spell finished third in a small field at Leopardstown on March 2 over 3721m, 24 len behind El Fabiolo with 73kg at $5. Continues to make headway. Should make a strong bid again.

Resumes from a spell after having raced just once last campaign didn't finish the race at Fairyhouse in the G3 John and Chich Fowler Memorial Mares Chase on January 1 over 4425m. When resuming last campaign finished third of 7 starters at this track on February 27 2025 over 4023m, on a wet track; 2.75 len behind Paggane with 73kg at $2.50. Nicely-placed to make amends.
