Ancient Astronaut^h¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: R C Colgan| T: K Thornton| OR: 65

50/1

In a poor run of form of late and shown very little since joining this yard. Well handicapped on old form so can't be completely ruled out.

Form: 060700

(10)

Midnitemudcrabs^p²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: S Foley| T: J Feane| OR: 65| CD

11/2

Inconsistent filly who only has one win on turf, though that did come over C&D. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 0-04287

(11)

Above Us Only Sky¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: W J Lee| T: C O'Brien| OR: 64

16/1

Still a maiden after 14 starts and only placed once on turf. Well beaten at Cork last time and hard to build a case for her in this race.

Form: 3-72429

(1)

Idyllic Acrylic⁶²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: C P Hoban| T: W M Roper| OR: 63

20/1

Fairyhouse winner in June last year but that's her only win in 11 starts. Handicapper giving her a real chance now dropped to this mark so can't be ruled out if she can bounce back from two poor runs on AW.

Form: 4130-56

(6)

Admirality^h1¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: D P Linehan⁽⁵⁾| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 62

3/1

Yet to win in nine starts and while his best efforts have come at this course, he would probably want softer ground than what he will get here. Wears a first-time hood.

Form: 0/242-68

(16)

Rag Tatter³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: C D Maxwell⁽³⁾| T: A Mulholland| OR: 61

25/1

Still a maiden after 16 runs and didn't show anything on return at Navan last time to suggest he will get his head back in front here. Hard to fancy and would probably want softer ground.

Form: 86074-0

(9)

Stormy Air²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: K K Hennessy⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 61

6/1

A maiden after five starts but running well since switched to handicaps on his last couple of efforts. Improvement possible now back on better ground than what he's been getting and not ruled out.

Form: 99043

(2)

Boxer Dunford²³

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

5/1

All three of his wins have come at Dundalk and only placed once in 10 starts on turf. Won well enough last time to suggest he's still feasibly handicapped from just 3lb higher but the return to turf is the worry.

Form: 211-621

(12)

Nam^h¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: N G McCullagh| T: T Mullins| OR: 60| D

7/1

Dundalk winner in February and returned to form with a good second at Cork when last seen. Yet to win on turf but must be of interest here after the run last time out putting to bed any fears of suitability away from AW.

Form: 141502

(8)

Bouquet Garni^t¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: K J Manning| T: E J O'Grady| OR: 57| D

16/1

Dundalk winner in October but that's her sole success in 23 starts. Back below her last winning mark now after two poor efforts this spring and needs to bounce back.

Form: 0314-00

(4)

Cosmic Symbol^p¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: K J Leonard⁽⁵⁾| T: G Webb| OR: 54| C| D

50/1

Habitual slow starter who hasn't beaten a rival home on his last two outings. Starting to look well-handicapped on some of his form but his better efforts have come on softer ground than what he will get here.

Form: 40-7000

(5)

Full Shilling¹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 9-2| J: Dylan Hogan⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs A Mooney| OR: 53| D

16/1

Bounced back to form with a win at Tipperary last time. Did that well but she faces a much tougher task from an 8lb higher mark here.

Form: 6488-51

(15)

Tomwontlisten^b²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: C T Keane| T: A McGuinness| OR: 51

25/1

Unplaced on each of her four starts. Ran okay in a claimer last time and booking of Champion Jockey a positive move but she will need plenty more back in handicap company.

Form: 5594

(7)

Clonville¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: R P Whelan| T: J P Fahey| OR: 46

20/1

In a bad run of form and yet to as much as place in seven starts. Best effort came at Dundalk when a moderate sixth so others preferred back on turf.

Form: 0080-60

(3)

Adateformary^b²³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: S P Davis⁽⁷⁾| T: G Keane| OR: 45

33/1

Well beaten on all five starts and operating from a long way out of the handicap here.

Form: 796/07-

Forecasts

Admirality (3/1), Boxer Dunford (5/1), Midnitemudcrabs (11/2), Stormy Air (6/1), Nam (7/1), Full Shilling (16/1), Bouquet Garni (16/1), Above Us Only Sky (16/1), Amazing One (16/1), Clonville (20/1), Idyllic Acrylic (20/1), Rag Tatter (25/1), Tomwontlisten (25/1), Adateformary (33/1), Ancient Astronaut (50/1), Cosmic Symbol (50/1)

STORMY AIR looks like a winner in waiting and is taken to land this for Denis Hogan after some promising efforts in handicap company. Nam ran well at Cork last time and is one to keep on side while Idyllic Acrylic would be in with a chance if he can bounce back to form/.
