FormscanBy Michael Graham - TACTICAL MOVE's form looks particularly solid which gives him a shot at overturning stablemate Mister Policeman. He was beaten less than two lengths into second in a Grade 1 in Fairyhouse at the end of March and the winner followed up in another top-level contest at Punchestown on Tuesday. Willie Mullins, who has an outstanding record in this race, also saddles Mister Policeman who is three from four over fences. He was a comfortable winner of a Grade 3 novice chase in Thurles and has to be respected off top-weight up in trip. Perceval Legallois has the ability to contend if he can brush up on his jumping.
An extended handicap steeplechase for five years old and upwards that have not won a steeplechase before 30th April 2023, other than one hunters steeplechase within the previous two National Hunt seasons and that have run at least three times in steeplechases up to and including 21st April 2024
Penalties - Winner of a steeplechase or steeplechases after calculation of the handicap shall carry any penalty or penalties which may be allotted by the Handicapper.
