Sir Jack Yeats^b1⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Donagh Meyler⁽³⁾| T: Miss Ellmarie Holden| OR: 95| D

15/8

Turned in best effort for a while at Tramore latest, showing improved form to finish second, staying on well at finish. Seems to reserve best efforts for there but if responding to change of headgear, every chance from same mark.

Form: 1866-62

Tintown Robin¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: A E Lynch| T: V Halley| OR: 92| BF

8/1

Had been in good form until latest start at Down Royal when made favourite for a similar contest as this but disappointed. Needs to prove this trip suits as well as shorter too, and any rain not necessarily a positive either.

Form: 882-227

Whitango⁹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: J M Moore| T: P Nolan| OR: 92

25/1

Showed little on first two starts but better on third, staying on to finish midfield at Leopardstown. Step up in trip may suit and chances if building on that on handicap debut tonight.

Form: 009-

Brooklynn^h1¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: J S McGarvey| T: C Roche| OR: 88

10/1

No surprise to see the addition of a hood, given how keen she was last time out. However, that was a good effort to run the improving Station Closed close at Downpatrick and if going on from that, could get involved.

Form: 0/643-4

Tranquil Magic^t³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: R Loughran| T: C Bowe| OR: 88

16/1

Ran well on heavy ground at Limerick last December, so any rain that falls isn't an issue, but didn't really show enough on recent comeback run at Cork and others preferred.

Form: 00929-0

Key Account³⁹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: P D Kennedy⁽³⁾| T: L Byrne| OR: 86| C| D

33/1

Lightly raced in recent times and this will only be his second start in 18 months. Handicapper has given him a chance but best watched after another long absence away.

Form: 0057P/0-

Crazy Queen^h¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Paul Townend| T: D Cullen| OR: 85

20/1

Hasn't shown much but did do a bit better for the addition of a hood last time, which is retained here. Does need to prove herself over this trip though, and any rain probably against her, so a bit to prove overall.

Form: 4850-07

Fr Captain Murphy⁸²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: B T O'Connell| T: Michael John Murphy| OR: 85

16/1

Well beaten all three starts in hurdles although showed a bit more ability on final start when staying on into midfield, and opening mark not harsh. Likely to appreciate step back up in trip and worth a look in the market.

Form: P006-

Dangerous Games^b¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Rachael Blackmore⁽³⁾| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 83| BF

11/2

Has got back on track, to some extent, on last couple of starts and not beaten far by the improving Station Closed last time out. Might have a bit more improvement to come, but rain not necessarily a positive.

Form: 8U87-64

Phar Island¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: R L Brennan⁽⁷⁾| T: T Mullins| OR: 83

14/1

Regressive and hasn't shown enough on recent starts to suggest he's about to turn things around, although Gowran effort in March not dreadful and he won't mind rain. Still too much to prove, however, and others preferred.

Form: 00P2F-0

Lash It On²

Age: 11| Weight: 10-11| J: D N Russell| T: C Byrnes| OR: 80

11/2

Stayed on into a never-nearer third under pressure at Listowel earlier in the week. Quick turnaround here but has won under a similar quick run before, so chances if building on that effort, although needs the rain to stay away (all wins on good or quicker).

Form: 0P10-93

Scoop It^h1,t1¹⁶⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Phillip Enright| T: R Tyner| OR: 80

16/1

Thrashed out of sight most starts and although he gets a tongue tie for the first time here, he still makes very little appeal.

Forecasts

Sir Jack Yeats (15/8), Lash It On (11/2), Dangerous Games (11/2), Mista Wabbit Man (15/2), Tintown Robin (8/1), Brooklynn (10/1), Herbiegoesbananas (12/1), Hero De Villeneuve (12/1), Phar Island (14/1), Tranquil Magic (16/1), Scoop It (16/1), Fr Captain Murphy (16/1), Crazy Queen (20/1), Whitango (25/1), Key Account (33/1), Zambezi Tiger (50/1), My Pollyanna (66/1)

If SIR JACK YEATS can translate his good Tramore form to here then even under top weight, he should hold a solid chance here. Both Brooklyn and Dangerous Games have seen the back end of the improving Station Closed recently but have both performed well, and can get in the shake up. My Pollyanna and, if the rain keeps off, Lash It On, are others worth a second look.
