California Lad^t,v⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: R Coakley⁽³⁾| T: F Birrane| OR: 63| CD

6/1

Winner over C&D in December and January. Another bold show looks on the cards here with just a 3lb rise in the weights to contend with.

Form: 95415-1

(14)

Trump Card^t⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: W J Lee| T: C O'Dwyer| OR: 60| C

12/1

Well beaten when weakening inside the final furlong on his last two visits here over C&D. May find this a tough assignment.

Form: 23830-6

(8)

Konig Hall^p¹³⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 9-7| J: K J Manning| T: A McCann| OR: 58| D

12/1

Genuine and tough sort who has ran steadily over the summer including second of 13 beaten a head in September here. Not seen since October and possibly will need the run on return to the track.

Form: 09/1424-

(11)

World's Greatest^t¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Colin Keane| T: K H Clarke| OR: 56

33/1

Not disgraced in three starts here over 1m in December and January. Something clearly amiss last time out when tailed off here earlier this month but still a tough ask in this company.

Form: 3630-00

(5)

Nulife^p,h¹⁷⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: K K Hennessy⁽⁵⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 54

16/1

Modest Flat handicapper on turf over the summer and is without a win in three starts here. Possibly best watched on return following lay-off.

Form: 454073-

(12)

Society Ranger^p¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: S Foley| T: S M Duffy| OR: 54

8/1

Ran well when second of 14 last time out following an eye-catching 1L defeat over C&D last month. Claims if repeating the form of that run.

Form: 5745-42

(1)

Glib Speech^p⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: G Brouder⁽⁷⁾| T: R Sweeney| OR: 52| BF

6/1

Runner up over C&D in December before not disgraced in two starts here over 2m4f. Could be capable of having his say back at this trip.

Form: 3002-24

(9)

Mulzamm^b,t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Ronan Whelan| T: J McAuley| OR: 52

28/1

Disappointed connections in a number of grim performances here over 2017 and not a lot to shout about on return when 8½L adrift of Pari Passu over 1m earlier this month. Unlikely to play a part in the finish.

Form: 00800-9

(3)

Song Of The Sky^t1¹⁸⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Wayne Lordan| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 50

3/1

Modest Flat handicapper for previous yard and well beaten when last seen at Gowran Park in August. Vast improvement needed here on stable debut but worth a market check.

Form: 1/40009-

(4)

Shake The Bucket²⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 8-11| J: T P Madden⁽⁵⁾| T: N Madden| OR: 48| CD

16/1

He may have reached the veteran stage, but that did not stop him winning over 1m4f at this venue a couple of starts ago. C&D winner and hard to discount.

Form: 70155-6

(7)

Galuminous^b⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: G M Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: B W Duke| OR: 46

33/1

Modest handicapper who is unplaced in eight starts. Second of 12 beaten 2¾L before a 13L defeat both over C&D last month and very little to be positive about here.

Form: 0/7006-0

(13)

Lamh Ar Lamh²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Rory Cleary| T: J S Bolger| OR: 46

16/1

Put in one of her better efforts when finishing a close fourth to Carvelas over 1m4f last month. Will need plenty of luck in running to figure in this contest.

Form: 77840-4

(2)

Lizard Point^b²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Chris Hayes| T: P J Flynn| OR: 45

3/1

21-race maiden who is without a win from five starts here but has not been disgraced in his last two starts including a 1L defeat over C&D last month. Place claims.

Form: 60484-3

Forecasts

Lizard Point (3/1), Song Of The Sky (3/1), Challow (5/1), California Lad (6/1), Glib Speech (6/1), Society Ranger (8/1), Trump Card (12/1), Konig Hall (12/1), Park Row (12/1), Shake The Bucket (16/1), Nulife (16/1), Lamh Ar Lamh (16/1), Pretty Little Liar (25/1), Mulzamm (28/1), Galuminous (33/1), World's Greatest (33/1)

Mulzamm, Park Row and Challow could set the fractions in the early stages here with Glib Speech and Shake The Bucket close up behind. The Joseph O'Brien debutante Song Of The Sky and the consistent over C&D Society Ranger can hit the frame behind top weight CALIFORNIA LAD who has only a 3lb penalty for a C&D win here last month.
