BOYLE Sports JT McNamara Munster National Handicap Chase (Grade 3)

Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
—	1	—	Stumptown (G) B Very likeable sort. Added another notable feather to his cap when taking the Velka Pardubicka last October. Wasn't disgraced when fifth in his bid to make it back-to-back Cheltenham Festival wins in …	111P/14-	Keith Donoghue G P Cromwell	9	75.3kg	13 12/1 Paddy… 17 Sky B… 17 Betfa… 15
5th	2	—	French Dynamite (G) Led home a 1-2 for the Eric McNamara yard in the 2025 renewal of this race (stable also had 1st & 4th in 2024). This has presumably been the target (pulled up in Kerry National last month) and while …	2/312-4P	Mr J Dunne E McNamara	11	73.9kg	12 11/1
—	3	—	Anyway (G) FAV Fell PT Useful chaser. Well held in Kerry National last year. Resumed winning ways in a small-field event at Tramore (2¾m) in August prior to an improved second on the Flat. However, perhaps isn't an obvious…	U848P-1	Darragh O'Keeffe D Budds	8	70.8kg	5.50 9/2
—	4	—	Bossofthebrownies (G) T Very useful, low-mileage chaser. Ran his best race when runner-up in Grade 3 novice at Naas (3m, heavy) on latest start in January. Goes well fresh and potentially interesting on handicap debut, for …	32/1332-	Josh Williamson M F Morris	7	70.8kg	5.50 9/2 Betfa… 6 Paddy… 6 Sky B… 6
1st	5	—	Kings Hill (G) B Course winner. Runner-up in Connacht National prior to landing a gamble at Galway Festival in July. Ran no sort of race following 7 weeks away in Kerry National latest (14/1). Had been on an upward c…	513-21P	Danny Gilligan P J Gilligan	7	68.9kg	12 11/1
—	6	—	Look To The West (M) Pulled Up T Lightly-raced 8-y-o. Useful winner in mares company for Henry De Bromhead (sold €42,000 in May). At longish odds when down the field in Kerry National on stable debut/return and she's 1 of 4 for last…	31/FF-10	Sean Flanagan E McNamara	8	68.5kg	13 12/1
9th	7	—	Weveallbeencaught (G) PT Seasoned campaigner in valuable staying handicaps. Best effort for present yard when runner-up in this corresponding event 12 months ago (only 1 lb higher this time around). Likely to have been laid …	4/4207P-	Danny Mullins E McNamara	9	68kg	6 5/1
—	8	—	Mint Boy (G) Useful novice chaser in 2024/5. Found Irish Grand National (29f) too much of a test at Fairyhouse on penultimate start of that season. Off for 17 months since pulling up in the Mayo National and it'l…	703U0/P-	Eoin Staples G P Cromwell	8	67.6kg	21 20/1 Sky B… 41 Betfa… 41 Paddy… 41
—	9	—	Uhavemeinstitches (M) Relatively lightly-raced 6-y-o. Capped a useful novice campaign over fences with Grade 3 success here prior to a forgivable end-of-season effort at Punchestown in May. Looks on a potentially lenient …	233U1P-	Harry Cobden J Motherway	6	67.1kg	7 6/1 Betfa… 5 Paddy… 5 Sky B… 5
—	10	—	Sportinthepark (G) Useful novice chaser in 2024. Made winning return over hurdles at Galway this time last year prior to finding a heavy-ground Troytown too much. Still early days in handicap chases and this could be t…	214/10P-	Sam Ewing N Meade	7	66.7kg	11 10/1 Sky B… 9 Paddy… 9 Betfa… 8.50
3rd	11	—	Iceberg Theory (G) P Made a very promising start over fences last year (including course maiden win). Shaped better than the beaten distance when fifth in the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham in March. Reasonable to thi…	P2/115P-	Jordan Gainford P Nolan	7	65.3kg	7 6/1
2nd	12	—	Littlefoot (G) P Won 2 of his first 3 chase starts in the spring. Shaped as though still in good order when unseating at Galway in July. Latest spin over hurdles presumably a springboard to this and isn't fully expos…	15-1PU9	Daniel King M A Molloy	8	65.3kg	13 12/1
8th	13	—	Meet And Greet (G) P Potentially well handicapped on his useful hurdles form. Wasn't seen to best effect when well-held fifth at Listowel (2¾m) latest (closed up late) and still relatively unexposed as a staying chaser.	5824-F5	Phillip Enright O McKiernan	10	65.3kg	8.50 15/2
—	14	—	Will Do (G) B Useful on his day but isn't one for maximum faith. Ran one of his better recent races when third in novice chase at Listowel (2¾m) latest. Tough ask to land first chase victory in a race as competiti…	0P0PP-3	Eoghan Finegan G Elliott	9	65.3kg	21 20/1 Sky B… 21 Paddy… 21 Betfa… 19
4th	15	—	A Wave Of The Sea (G) FAV Cruised clear to capitalise on a much-reduced mark at Kilbeggan (3¼m) in late-August. An 8 lb rise hardly looks insurmountable on that evidence and has been teed up for this with a spin on the Flat. …	400-571	Charlie O'Dwyer J P Broderick	10	64kg	5.50 9/2
6th	16	—	Hermino AA (G) B Useful at best for Gary & Josh Moore. Best form since when winning smoothly at Roscommon in June, however, that remains a standout effort since joining last year's winning connections. He's hardly a …	P6-6108	Tom Kelly E McNamara	9	63.5kg	15 14/1
—	17	—	Prophet's Corner (G) Reproduced the pick of his hurdles form for the first time in this sphere when winning over C&D (heavy) in March. Hard to be confident he'll build on that at the second attempt, though, racing from 2…	57861F-	Reserve 1 Sean Allen	9	63.5kg	17 16/1 Paddy… 23 Betfa… 23 Sky B… 23
7th	18	—	Positive Thinker (G) P Cheekpieces on first-time (only worn twice to date) when runner-up in 2024 Leinster National. Clearly hasn't been easiest to train since (fallen long way in the weights). Headgear goes back on follow…	32/808-0	Cian Quirke M J McDonagh	9	63.5kg	34 33/1
