Avalanche⁶^{(ex 6)}

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: K J Leonard⁽⁵⁾| T: T J O'Mara| OR: 64| D

5/1

Carries 6lb penalty for win at Limerick six days ago (1m, good to firm). Chasing hat-trick having also scored at Cork this month and bold bid expected.

Form: 630-311

Jealika^p1¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: C P Hoban| T: M Fahey| OR: 65| D

6/1

All four career wins have come on soft, soft to heavy at Limerick and Listowel. Yet to win beyond 6½f, first-time cheekpieces are added here. Should go well if the ground doesn't dry out too much, any rain a bonus.

Form: 137-264

(16)

Eadaoins Pet¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: D M Simmonson⁽⁵⁾| T: J Feane| OR: 62

6/1

Finished 1¾L behind Avalanche at Cork last week, remains a maiden but on evidence of two runs this season, that shouldn't be the case for too much longer.

Form: 3708-53

(11)

Cosmic Symbol^p¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: K P Moriarty⁽⁷⁾| T: G Webb| OR: 60| D

10/1

Twice a winner already this month for this apprentice rider, scoring nicely at Gowran Park (1m, soft to heavy) and following up over a furlong shorter at Roscommon (soft). Up again in the ratings as a result but could prove up to it.

Form: 006011

My Painter^b,t²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: J A Heffernan| T: D Hogan| OR: 60| D

10/1

Just the one win from 25 starts on the Flat, didn't run badly over a mile at Killarney last month in finishing under 3L third of 14 runners. Runs off the same mark now and having run another fair race over fences at Tramore (2m, good) since.

Form: 10-0003

Zippy¹⁰⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: D W O'Connor⁽⁵⁾| T: J F Levins| OR: 59

16/1

Won at Yarmouth towards the end of last season for Daniel Kubler but well beaten in three AW starts since the switch of stable. Could have more to offer now reverting back to turf.

Form: 041-000

No Approval^t¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Ronan Whelan| T: P J F Murphy| OR: 56

16/1

Has run well off much higher marks than this last year, but four starts this term have all produced very little. May put it all together somewhere, but tough to predict when that will be on recent evidence.

Form: 34-0096

(14)

Surewhynot⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: L F Roche| T: Miss S J Harty| OR: 63

16/1

Better effort on second handicap start at Naas over 7f nine days ago when beaten 4L into fourth of 13 runners. Step in the right direction, needs another one now.

Form: 0-9604

(6)

Bouquet Garni^b,t⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: W J Lee| T: E J O'Grady| OR: 61

7/1

Still a maiden after 13 starts but banged on the door at Fairyhouse over 7f (good at start of the month and since found just a couple too strong at Naas (7f, good to firm). Blinkers are back on here and bold bid may be forthcoming with jockey going great runs.

Form: 354-023

(2)

Hard Times¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Colin Keane| T: F Costello| OR: 50| CD

8/1

Sprung a surprise on return to action at Listowel when scoring at 33/1 over 1m (good) though since finished behind a few of these at Cork over extended mile off increased mark. Others make more appeal.

Form: 8000-17

(3)

Volta Do Mar^v²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: T P Madden⁽⁵⁾| T: D Cullen| OR: 57| D

33/1

Won a claimer at Redcar in October before leaving Richard Fahey, made promising strides when 2L seventh of 21 in apprentice contest at Navan in April (6f, good) but has taken a couple of backwards steps since.

Form: 14-0708

(15)

Adateformary⁴⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁷⁾| T: G Keane| OR: 45

33/1

Disappointing in three maidens last year, including over this trip on heavy going at Gowran Park in April when last spotted. Makes handicap debut after 446 days away, others preferred unless market sounds confidence.

Form: 796-

Dressednblack²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Chris Hayes| T: T Doyle| OR: 45| BF

10/1

Nice-race maiden has yet to place and certainly lack for consistency but there have been tentative signs in two of three runs this year, including over C&D, that a breakthrough might arrive soon.

Form: 760-440

(5)

All About Grace^t⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: N G McCullagh| T: M Halford| OR: 53

16/1

Six-race maiden hasn't shown enough to warrant confidence in this contest, she was beaten 7L over 7f at Naas nine days ago and has plenty work to do.

Form: 659-978

(7)

Poetical Dreamer^t1⁸⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Wayne Lordan| T: H Rogers| OR: 51

33/1

Well held in three starts so far, including on reappearance in April when tailed off over 5f at Cork on heavy ground. Upped significantly in trip for this handicap debut.

Form: 06-9

Stamp Of Authority^p,t¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: R Coakley⁽³⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 60| D

Forecasts

Avalanche (5/1), Jealika (6/1), Eadaoins Pet (6/1), Fast Kar (13/2), Bouquet Garni (7/1), Hard Times (8/1), My Painter (10/1), Dressednblack (10/1), Cosmic Symbol (10/1), Zippy (16/1), No Approval (16/1), Surewhynot (16/1), All About Grace (16/1), Cantsayrightly (16/1), Stamp Of Authority (28/1), Poetical Dreamer (33/1), Volta Do Mar (33/1), Adateformary (33/1), Voyageofdiscovery (50/1)

Bouquet Garni remains a maiden but there have been signs lately that will soon change, he ran another good race at Naas last time and with the blinkers on now, is much respected. Last time out winner Avalanche is in good heart and the hat-trick certainly isn't ruled out despite a penalty here. Another maiden, EADAOINS PET, finished behind him at Cork but might turn things around now. That was her second good effort on the trot and with the yard in good form, she might be the answer in this tough contest. Cosmic Symbol has twice won this month for his claiming rider and they should go well again while My Painter and Surewhynot are another pair meriting some thought.
