The Verdict
FormCast selectionAnywayConfidence 4/5Didn't win
Anyway arrives in career-best form, winning last time out off a mark of 139 and carrying that momentum into a valuable handicap. The form figures (848P-1) show a horse improving and finally putting it together with a win, and he's fresh off just 23 days since that success - trainer clearly has him firing. He gets in with top-weight French Dynamite but at 8 years old with upward trajectory, OR 139 looks workable in this Munster National field. French Dynamite (146) is the classy, deep-impression topweight with solid recent placed form (312-4P) but is 11 now and has to defy a big weight - he's the obvious market leader but value is thin there. Bossofthebrownies is interesting on pure form (1332 figures) but a 266-day absence is a big unknown and makes him hard to trust fresh over this marathon trip first time out. Kings Hill (13-21P) looks sound and progressive but his C/D form is unproven at this trip/grade step up. Anyway's trainer/jockey combo with Darragh O'Keeffe booked suggests confidence, and the tongue-tie addition could be the final piece. I like him to outrun his price in a race that looks competitive but lacks a standout, dominant favourite - the market may underrate a horse who's just won and is race-fit versus others returning from lengthy absences or with stamina queries at this unique 3m+ trip.
