Isotope³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: D O'Brien| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 70

5/1

Had shown relatively little in a couple of starts before a promising fourth of 13 beaten 4¾L over C&D last month. One to have on side with the yard boasting a 50% win and place strike rate at the track in early march since 2016.

Form: 00-4

(8)

Commodus^t1⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: G F Carroll| T: J C McConnell| OR: 67

40/1

Never finished higher than sixth in six starts at the track. First time tongue-tie doubtful to bring about the required amount of progress needed to play a role here.

Form: 37695-0

Red Bloodedcruiser¹³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: R C Colgan| T: S Nolan| OR: 67

25/1

Slight improvement when finishing seventh of 20 beaten over 5L in a Leopardstown maiden when last seen in October following a couple of poor displays earlier. Possibly best watched.

Form: 707-

(4)

Cuban Hope¹³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger| OR: 65

2/1

Teofilo colt, dam a half-sister to two winners. Ran well on debut, making some late progress to finish seventh of 20 at this track over a mile in October. Well held on a couple of occasions since and form doesn't warrant support here.

Form: 779-

(5)

Han Solo¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: C T Keane| T: A Leahy| OR: 64

5/1

No impression on leaders but ran well in defeat on AW debut here last month finishing sixth of 14 beaten 3¼L over 1m. Improvement on that run should see the Havana Gold gelding in the hunt for place money.

Form: 747-6

(12)

Burning Lake⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: D W O'Connor⁽⁵⁾| T: J F Levins| OR: 63| D

6/1

55-rated handicapper on the AW for Charlie Hills. Promising second of 11 beaten ½L on stable debut over C&D when last seen in January. Should be a leading contender in this company.

Form: 69641-2

(11)

Gold Jasmine¹¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S Foley| T: K J Condon| OR: 62| D

12/1

Finished in the first four on each start over C&D including a second of 10 beaten 3L back in August. Below par run to shake off here over 6f when last seen in November and one to consider back over this trip.

Form: 213440-

(13)

Tigray^b,t⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: J A Heffernan| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 59

12/1

Well held in three disappointing maiden starts in November before a couple of dismal handicap efforts here since the turn of the year. Has shown little aptitude in previous starts to be considered in this company.

Form: 050-67

(7)

Ifyouhaveaminute¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: W M Lordan| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 55

11/1

Improved on a number of gloomy performances when finishing fourth of seven beaten 1¼L in a 6f contest here last month. Place claims open to significant improvement.

Form: 0950-4

(1)

Indiana Grey²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: K J Leonard⁽³⁾| T: P Martin| OR: 54

20/1

Zebedee filly that cost 6,000 gns as a yearling. Slowly in to stride and in rear for most of the way in all three career starts to date. Overall record casts doubt on her ability to get competitive here.

Form: 7-00

(9)

Olwen's Dream^b1¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: A J Farragher⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 51

66/1

Well held and nothing of note in all five career starts for Katy Brown and a 11½L defeat on stable debut here over C&D in January before finishing last of seven over 6f here last month. Others preferred.

Form: 0060-07

(6)

Me Well⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: C P Hoban| T: R Sweeney| OR: 50

14/1

Finsceal Fior filly, dam related to Group 3 middle-distance winner. Five race maiden, third of 11 beaten 1¾L on AW debut over C&D in January. Hasn't shown enough to be of interest here.

Form: 9087-3

(2)

Tessiesee¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: A J Slattery⁽⁷⁾| T: A Mulholland| OR: 50

20/1

Five-race maiden including three defeats here all over 6f. Slight improvement here last month when third of seven beaten 1L behind Ice Bullet. Hard to fancy.

Form: 6608-3

The solid and consistent gelding, BURNING LAKE can land the spoils here on his return to action. The Le Harve gelding finished second of 11 beaten ½L on stable debut over C&D and can improve to get the better of the Joseph O'Brien runners Ifyouhaveaminute and Isotope who should be taken seriously in an open looking contest.
