Griffyndor²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ronan Whelan| T: S Lavery| OR: 74

11/4

Beaten but not disgraced in two mildly promising starts in November and December with possibly the geldings best performance coming over 7f. Capable of running well but a market check is advised.

100/1

Has produced two laboured performances here recently including a 19L defeat when finishing 13th of 14 earlier this month. Looks vulnerable in this company

Lilbourne Lad gelding who gained masses of experience in a promising debut in a Naas two-year-old maiden in November finishing 8L behind Vinnie's Wish.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: C P Hoban| T: W J Martin

100/1

Has looked laboured and out of sorts in two career starts here including last time out well beaten over C&D finishing 13th of 14 sent of at 50/1. Others hold stronger profiles here.

Baltic King filly out of a Primo Dominie mare related to Tony Carroll's multiple winner Baltic Prince and the David Evans sprinter Gracious John. Tough ask on debut.

6/1

Beaten 7½L here over 7f last time out finishing fifth of 14 behind Ship Of Dreams. Filly by Big Bad Bob should appreciate the step up to a mile here.

Bye Bye Brussels²⁸

8/1

Five-race maiden and showed a hint of improvement on first run at the track finishing fifth of 14 beaten 5½L last month over this trip. Yard among the winners at Naas recently and worth a market check.

Glow In The Dark³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L F Roche| T: D K Weld

33/1

Shamardal filly who was one pace and never a factor on debut here last month over 7f. Will need to show vast improvement but may appreciate the step up in trip.

Hen Party²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Rory Cleary| T: T Cleary

100/1

Not a lot going on in two second-rate performances at this track over 7f well beaten and sent off at 100/1 on both occasions. Needs a chunk of improvement to play a role here.

Raise The Tempo⁸²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: G P Halpin⁽³⁾| T: C O'Dwyer

100/1

Dwelt, no impression and one-paced in two below-par starts last season at Galway and last time out at Leopardstown in October sent off at 100/1. Hard to fancy until showing a hint of ability.

Forecasts

Irish Minister (7/4), Griffyndor (11/4), Bonnie Baugh (6/1), Karakour (7/1), Bye Bye Brussels (8/1), Frame Rate (10/1), Patriot Affair (10/1), Rock On Seamie (12/1), For Pleasure (14/1), Bilboa Lane (16/1), Windsor Diamond (25/1), Glow In The Dark (33/1), Raise The Tempo (100/1), Hen Party (100/1), Roland Song (100/1), Rock In Society (100/1), Baltic Blitz (100/1)

Well bred newcomer Karakour is sure to be of interest on debut for the Mick Halford yard in the ownership of The Aga Khan. The experience of GRIFFYNDOR will prove to be an advantage landing the spoils here following a couple of encouraging runs towards the end of the year. Irish Minister and Bye Bye Brussels can battle for the minors.
