Selected odds by:

(7)

Golden Footsteps²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: T P Madden⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 64

33/1

Ten-race maiden showed little in three handicaps for this stable from 7f-1m1f and unseated rider on hurdles bow last time out. Looks up against it at the weights with her maximum claiming price.

Form: 0-26769

(6)

Malenka Suka³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: N G McCullagh| T: K F O'Donnell

100/1

Slowly away and never involved on debut over 7f at Galway at 100/1 odds. Hard to gauge that form against some of these but not enough to recommend her.

Form: 0

(12)

Prove The Point^h,t⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: G F Carroll| T: M Mulvany| OR: 66| D

9/1

Winner on AW in January and runner-up twice in turf handicaps more recently, including when headed close home over C&D. Struggled with a high weight in a claimer latest at Bellewstown and similar likely here.

Form: 682725

(5)

Every Breath⁹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: R P Whelan| T: P J F Murphy

50/1

Remote fourth of seven here latest in a 1m1½f maiden the best form she has shown thus far although that still appears short of the required with this weight.

Form: U04

(13)

Gasta¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger| OR: 77

6/1

Gone 16 races since her debut success without adding to it. Been competitive more often than not without success this season over 6f to 1m. Top rated here and second best in at the weights so looks to have a realistic opportunity now.

Form: 234440

(8)

Lady Godiva^t⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D O'Brien| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 65| BF

5/1

Fast-finishing and quite unlucky third latest in a Bellewstown maiden claimer over 1m. This looks a tougher ask at the weights but one of the few in form so expectant of a bold bid nevertheless.

Form: 326563

(4)

Innamorare^b²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: O J Orr⁽³⁾| T: C Cannon| OR: 68| D

9/4

Winner of three of her last four starts including the last twice in 1m Leopardstown handicaps the latest in a 20-runner contest. In fine form and fairly treated at the weights so rated a leading contender again.

Form: 231511

(9)

Annagassan⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: C P Hoban| T: S M Duffy| OR: 23

100/1

29-race maiden has only placed once in her career. Of extremely limited ability and miles out of this at the weights.

Form: 0-00080

(3)

Lourdes^t1⁴⁷²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: M A Gallagher| T: Barry J Murphy| OR: 60

100/1

1m1½f winner in the French provinces makes her stable debut after 16-months off the track. Probably not out of this at her best but hard to know what to expect after such an absence.

Form: 48880/0-

(11)

Zalzar⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: C T Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 62

9/2

Good second latest in a Bellewstown maiden claimer (Lady Godiva third). 4lb better off with that rival here so ought to confirm placings and based on that improved effort she has to be considered here.

Form: 657-02

(1)

Always In Step²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: L F Roche| T: S Lavery| OR: 46

25/1

Never competitive in five career starts and not shown nearly enough to be involved here at the weights.

Form: 85008

(10)

Dragon Girl^p¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: S Foley| T: S M Duffy| OR: 66

16/1

Claimed out of Jessica Harrington's yard after bolting up in a 1m2½f Sligo claimer. Poor effort on stable debut at Cork since but back to this level she has a shout if returning to form.

Form: 080319

(2)

Santorini Sun^b³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: C D Hayes| T: W T Farrell| OR: 68

8/1

Broke her maiden on debut for Mick Channon but struggled in Group company subsequently. Not inspired in six starts for current connections in handicaps but best in at the weights here so chance if she can run up to current handicap.

Form: 834668

Forecasts

Innamorare (9/4), Zalzar (9/2), Lady Godiva (5/1), Gasta (6/1), Santorini Sun (8/1), Prove The Point (9/1), Dragon Girl (16/1), Always In Step (25/1), Golden Footsteps (33/1), Every Breath (50/1), Malenka Suka (100/1), Lourdes (100/1), Annagassan (100/1)

INNAMORARE is a filly in fine form having won three of her last four so it is somewhat surprising that she is entered in a claimer here and you would imagine she would be quite appealing to potential buyers if winning this which she has a very good chance of doing. Zalzar ran well in a claimer latest and makes plenty of appeal off a light weight. Gasta is frustrating at times but ought to go close here at the weights.
