Lily's Prince^p²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-13| J: O J Orr| T: G Donnelly| OR: 64| CD

7/1

Two from 13 over C&D but now races 9lb lower than last winning mark. Certainly regressing but not easily dismissed.

Caridade^t,v²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Ben Coen| T: A McGuinness| OR: 63| D

20/1

Winner of a 7f Redcar contest in August 2017, the fillies only success in 12 starts for Kevin Ryan. Well held over 1m here last month on stable debut and best avoided.

Doonard Prince^b³⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 9-9| J: R Coakley| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 60| CD

16/1

One from 13 over C&D and, although running well in defeat, current mark appears to be the stumbling block for the gelding.

Form: 300374-

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: D P Linehan| T: P Martin| OR: 59| D

Struggling a little round here of late but yard have a 48% win and place strike rate here in the last three years throughout January, posting possibilities of hitting the frame.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: G M Ryan⁽⁴⁾| T: L Comer| OR: 56

8/1

Has shown relatively little on turf and was well beaten on sole visit here over 12-months ago. Will need to improve to figure.

Form: 430080-

Bellick^b²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: A J Slattery⁽⁴⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 55

6/1

Far from disgraced in three starts here since November. Steps up in trip and not ruled out just yet.

Form: 089620-

Nisior Donn^t¹³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: D W O'Connor| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 50

Finvarra⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: T P Madden| T: N Madden| OR: 49

15/2

Running well in defeat over a variety of trip here since October. Room for improvement and worth consideration in this company.

Paddytheirishman⁴²

Age: 9| Weight: 8-11| J: A C Persse⁽⁴⁾| T: G T Lynch| OR: 48

12/1

31-race maiden without a win on the AW in eight starts. Well held over 1m here when last seen in November and has plenty to find on recent offerings.

Form: 094448-

Victorious Secret³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: K J Leonard| T: A Mulholland| OR: 48| CD

4/1

One from 13 over C&D, hitting the frame on a further two occasions. Has produced a number of solid runs here before Christmas, but 27lb lower than last winning mark is a worry.

Form: 906532-

(14)

Arlecchino's Rock^p,t²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: S M Mooney⁽⁴⁾| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 47| CD

20/1

Two from 11 over C&D, running well in defeat round here in a number of starts since October. Strong place claims on best form.

Olly's Folly^b¹⁰¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: P A Harnett⁽⁷⁾| T: N Cassidy| OR: 45

33/1

Without a win in seven starts here and has looked bereft of any sort of form in his most recent visits to the track. Well below par form looks set to continue here.

Form: 9/06080-

(13)

Seeking Truth^b⁷⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 8-8| J: D E Sheehy| T: J Feane| OR: 45| CD

25/1

Just one win from 31 starts and was well below his best for previous yard. Sole win came over C&D from a 2lb higher mark but others preferred at present on stable debut.

Zeeyalater^p1⁷⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: G P Brouder⁽⁴⁾| T: Ian O'Connor| OR: 45

8/1

Beaten in 14 starts on the AW and first time cheekpieces unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here on first start for new yard.

Forecasts

Victorious Secret (4/1), Bellick (6/1), Lily's Prince (7/1), Finvarra (15/2), Groovy Jazz (8/1), Zeeyalater (8/1), Nisior Donn (11/1), Paddytheirishman (12/1), Doonard Prince (16/1), Goodnite Irina (20/1), Arlecchino's Rock (20/1), Caridade (20/1), Seeking Truth (25/1), Olly's Folly (33/1)

Victorious Secret races 27lb below last winning mark and appears to find one too good with great frequency. That chink in the six-year-olds armour may let in the improving Niall Madden-trained FINVARRA who can build on a number of solid runs here last year. Lily's Prince and Arlecchino's Rock are strong contenders to hit the frame.
