Lady Godiva^t¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Wayne Lordan| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 65

9/4

Improved on her fourth start for the yard when finishing third of 12 beaten ¾L behind the improving Ice Storm in a Sligo 7f handicap last month. Enters calculations here on a similar mark.

Form: 94-9093

Passing Trade⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Gary Carroll| T: M Mulvany| OR: 65

4/1

Plenty to like about her defeat in a Ballinrobe handicap last month finishing a head behind the likable Liffeydale Dreamer. May need it softer but not easy to discount.

Fenagh³⁰¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: G P Halpin⁽³⁾| T: E P Harty| OR: 64

33/1

Modest 67-rated four-race maiden for David Loughnane failing to improve for the step up from 6f to 7f. Market likely to be the best guide on debut for new connections.

Form: 8400-

Highway To Heaven⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁷⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 61

9/1

Only had the five starts but after showing promise on the first couple of contests appeared to be regressing. Possibly best watched on return to the track.

Form: 230-56

Kodi Koh²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: S P Davis⁽⁷⁾| T: G M Lyons| OR: 61

17/2

Travels well in his races but appears a little tapped for toe when push comes to shove. Fifth race trying a different trip and hard to place faith in.

Form: 5640

Beau Rocko²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rory Cleary| T: A McGuinness| OR: 53

7/2

Improvement on his fourth career start when finishing third of 12 beaten 2¼L in a Fairyhouse handicap last month following three disappointing displays in May. Could go close with a repeat of his most recent run.

Form: 0753

Wavepoint³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ronan Whelan| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 51

7/1

Ran on inside final furlong on handicap debut at Navan last month when beaten 2¾L on good ground. Each way claims in this company.

Form: 09-04

Colonel Paddy¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: A J Slattery⁽⁷⁾| T: N Lupini| OR: 47

25/1

No signs of encouragement in two seasonal starts in May finishing well down the field on both starts before much of the same in a Down Royal 7f handicap last month. Plenty more needed here.

Form: 900-005

Sun A Rye³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: K J Leonard⁽³⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 46

40/1

Well beaten and no impression in three career starts including a 30L in a Fairyhouse 7f handicap when last seen in May. Hard to fancy.

Form: 0-980

(9)

Footsteps At Dawn¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Chris Hayes| T: S Nolan| OR: 45

14/1

Will have disappointed connections in three dismal career starts to date. Hard to fancy on current evidence.

Forecasts

Lady Godiva (9/4), Beau Rocko (7/2), Passing Trade (4/1), Mojambo (5/1), Wavepoint (7/1), Kodi Koh (17/2), Highway To Heaven (9/1), Footsteps At Dawn (14/1), Sarzana (20/1), Colonel Paddy (25/1), Fenagh (33/1), Sun A Rye (40/1)

Difficult race to puzzle due to the lack off pace in the race but the improving and promising LADY GODIVA appears to be going the right way of late and can continue her development here. following a ¾L defeat at Sligo last month. Other potential improvers Passing Trade, second of 11 at Ballinrobe last month, the staying on strongly last time out Beau Rocko and the consistent Mojambo can battle it out for the minors.
