Forecasts

Vitudurum (3/1), Mattie's Mountain (7/2), Still Alive (4/1), Walkers Point (8/1), She's Commanche (9/1), De Bennette (10/1), Working Capitol (14/1), Fly Round The Bend (14/1), Punches Pious (33/1), Analyse That (33/1), Silvretta Schwarz (50/1)

Verdict

Winner of two of his 25 starts over hurdles, STILL ALIVE can build on a couple of promising runs on the Flat and over hurdles since October to win for the third time over timber. The six-year-old appeared to 'bump' into one at Limerick over Christmas finishing 10L adrift of the winner in the 13 runner field but 13L ahead of the third. Vitudurum fourth behind Knockraha Boss at Tramore on New Years day and Working Capitol in first-time cheekpieces can provide the stiffest opposition. The Adrian Murphy-trained She's Commanche and De Bennette should not be taken lightly while an improved run from Fly Around The Bend would not surprise.
  1. Still Alive
  2. Vitudurum
  3. Working Capitol
