Aasheq³³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: P J Smullen| T: D K Weld| OR: 87

8/15

Placed twice from three outings but a beaten favourite on each occasion. Started odds-on for a 1m maiden at Cork last May and beaten 2½L into second on that occasion. Unraced since he seems to handle all ground conditions and should prove hard to beat here.

Allegio¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: J A Heffernan| T: D Hogan

10/1

Beaten 5L when finishing fourth of 12 on his debut at Dundalk earlier this month. Full-sister to the Group 3-placed filly Pandora and an interesting runner here.

Form: 48

Baile Ghilibert

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: C T Keane| T: M J Byrne

66/1

Unraced son of Majestic Missile. Half-brother to useful sprinter Pivotal Flame amongst others and a concern that he's not made his debut sooner.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: R P Downey⁽³⁾| T: K H Clarke| OR: 70

Pari Passu¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: K J Manning| T: A Mullins

25/1

Well beaten in a maiden for previous stable 12 months ago but shaped better on debut for current yard and first run since being gelded when fifth at Dundalk earlier this month. Likely to fair better in handicaps however.

Form: 7-55

(2)

Rimshot

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: C R King| T: K J Condon

8/1

Unraced son of Lawman. Bought back in as a yearling in 2014 and a full-brother 1m winner Law Major. Represents a good yard here and worth a check in the market.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: O J Orr⁽⁵⁾| T: E Lynam

Forecasts

Aasheq (8/15), Surrounding (13/2), Rimshot (8/1), Allegio (10/1), Intense Stylist (14/1), Buttermere (20/1), Dandy Dude (20/1), Pari Passu (25/1), Evie Be Kool (25/1), Beautiful Ben (40/1), County Show (50/1), Golden Dandy (66/1), L'ambre Gris (66/1), Baile Ghilibert (66/1), Penny Blessing (66/1), Vavaoom (66/1), Scilly (100/1)

SURROUNDING ran well when finishing runner-up on his debut over 1m at Dundalk earlier this month. The selection was staying on at the finish on that occasion and can get off the mark at the second time of asking in this 1m maiden race. Aasheq has been a beaten favourite in all three starts to date and can claim second on his first outing in 11 months here while Allegio can claim third having finished fourth in the same maiden the selection contested at Dundalk earlier this month.
