Analytical Mindset^t1⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: W J Lee| T: R P McNamara

25/1

Regressed in three bumpers before switching attention to maidens here. Some promise in fifth two starts back but stopped quickly latest leaving more question marks.

Form: 59

Bobeska^h,t⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: K J Leonard⁽⁵⁾| T: K F O'Donnell

10/1

Best effort by some way latest when second here over 1m4f, only beaten ¾L. Must prove that wasn't a one off now. Drop in trip looks a negative.

Form: 002

Dasmyhoss⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: R P Whelan| T: R P McNamara

20/1

9L fifth latest in a 1m4f maiden here gives him a lot to find with Bobeska who was a close second.

Form: 85

One In All In¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: W M Lordan| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 66

12/1

First flat start of the year after two moderate (particularly latest) runs over hurdles. Last flat race would give him a shout but may need further now.

Shabrasupmonaghan³⁷⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: C J McGovern⁽⁵⁾| T: A McCann

33/1

Tailed off in a bumper just over a year ago, his only race to date. Impossible to fancy here.

Zaofu⁶²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: S Corby⁽³⁾| T: J P O'Brien

33/1

Finished 11th of 16 in lone start, a bumper in March 2016 which subsequently looks a hot race. Now with new trainer but hard to guess what to expect after so long off.

Permanent⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: N M Crosse⁽⁷⁾| T: B Cawley| OR: 52

50/1

Tried over all sorts of trips with no success. Changed yards again now but based off lowly rating he is up against it here.

Form: 508600

(1)

Teqany³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: C T Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 67

2/1

Decent fifth on stable debut in a C&D handicap latest. Trainer regularly improves new recruits so with further improvement possible he has a squeak.

Form: 5-66655

(7)

Uncle Henry^t1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D O'Brien| T: J P O'Brien

18/1

Belated debut for this son of Henrythenavigator who is a half-brother to a 1m and 1m1f winner including AW. Market best guide to expectations.

Form:

(13)

Wooster⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: O J Orr⁽³⁾| T: N C Kelly| OR: 70

6/1

Lone 1m4f race inconclusive as far as his stamina. Latest third just a week ago over 1m a decent effort so if he does enjoy the step up he could go well.

Form: 352743

(14)

Nivvo⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: P J Smullen| T: T Collins| OR: 72

7/4

Almost certainly flattered by her proximity in a Listed contest two starts back but a decent third here latest evidence that she does have a realistic chance today.

Form: 255583

(2)

On The Boards¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁵⁾| T: D A McLoughlin

66/1

Beaten just five rivals in three races to date. Huge step up needed to feature.

Form: 000

Song Cito⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R P Cleary| T: N Lawlor

20/1

Latest fifth was a much improved effort over 1m here but she was still a couple of places behind Wooster so more needed to be heavily involved.

Form: 75

Full Disclosure⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S Foley| T: A Oliver

66/1

Some 23L to make up with Bobeska on their run together latest here. First Reserve.

Forecasts

Nivvo (7/4), Teqany (2/1), The Phantom Punch (4/1), Wooster (6/1), Bobeska (10/1), One In All In (12/1), Lilyhammer (16/1), Uncle Henry (18/1), Dasmyhoss (20/1), Song Cito (20/1), Analytical Mindset (25/1), Zaofu (33/1), Shabrasupmonaghan (33/1), Baile An Roba (33/1), Permanent (50/1), Full Disclosure (66/1), On The Boards (66/1)

Ger Lyons regularly improves new recruits and after a positive start for him TEQANY could easily take a further step forward now which would put him firmly in the thick of things here. Nivvo is among the main dangers despite a wide draw as is Bobeska who would get the nod if this race were over 1m4f.
