Off the mark last time at Navan and shapes like she'll be well-suited by this step up in trip. Every chance there is more to come from a 6lb higher mark.

Filly was essentially a bit disappointing in six runs as a two-year-old and nothing to get excited about on her comeback run at Dundalk earlier in the month. Expected to do better at some point but looks up against it for now.

Well beaten on all three starts but expected to do better for this yard now handicapping and upped in trip. Any market support should be noted.

Still a maiden after eight starts but looks a little unlucky to still have that tag after a couple of close runner-up efforts at Limerick. Up another 2lb in the weights for not winning isn't ideal but it looks fair enough and he's starting to look a little more consistent than some here.

12/1
Well beaten on all three starts and makes handicap debut here. Would appear to be the yard's second or third string and hard to fancy on all known form. First-time blinkers applied.

Shaped as if a step up in trip would suit when third of 11 at Gowran Park (good) on debut last August but has struggled since, including on handicap debut last time. Others make more appeal.

Mearu26

Unplaced on all four of her starts but she was better last time when fifth of 14 at Gowran Park. Needs to build on that now.

Maiden and unplaced on all six starts. Hard to make a case for and needs first-time blinkers to make a big difference.

Well held on all three starts so far, latest two at Dundalk on the AW. No improvement for the switch of yard last time but no doubt the step up in trip will bring about some improvement along with a return to turf.

Well beaten and unplaced on all seven starts. Fitted with a first-time visor now and out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Wingingit (5/2), Epitaph (9/2), Teo's Music (6/1), Circling Moon (13/2), Mearu (7/1), Cosimo Medici (11/1), Wimbourne (12/1), Grey Waters (16/1), Dynamagic (16/1), Varkhann (25/1)

20:05 Leopardstown - 26 May 2017 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

WINGINGIT won well last time out and a 6lb rise may not be enough to stop him. Epitaph looks like the pick of the Joseph O'Brien trio and he has been running well without winning recently. Any market support for Circling Moon could prove significant.
  1. Wingingit
  2. Epitaph
  3. Circling Moon
