Castle Guest^p,t¹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M Halford| OR: 64| D

7/1

Has put together a run of three solid and consistent efforts in defeat recently. Not getting any younger though and may find one or two better handicapped sorts lurking.

Form: 56-6323

(8)

Eadbhard^h²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: O J Orr| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 60| D

14/1

Only win came in claiming company at Ballinrobe 12 months ago and has struggled on five subsequent starts including a dismal effort at Gowran Park last month. Hard to fancy against these rivals.

Form: 1406-00

(7)

Maunganui^p²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: S Foley| T: J P Fahey| OR: 60| BF

6/1

14-race maiden whose best efforts in 2018 came over middle distances. Lost her way towards the end of the year but has returned with a couple of encouraging efforts at Gowran Park and Cork last month. Open to improvement and likely to go well.

Form: 0406-53

(9)

Pivotal Man^h,t⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: R Coakley| T: J C McConnell| OR: 60

33/1

10-race maiden who has failed to hit the frame in four starts on turf. Recent efforts have been below-par and has not shown enough overall to be of interest here.

Form: 707600

(1)

Duquesa Beach¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Robbie Colgan| T: L Smyth| OR: 59

25/1

Without success in nine Flat starts but has hit the frame on a couple of occasions from seven turf engagements. Has shown little or no aptitude in recent starts here and at Down Royal to be considered in this company.

Form: 306-085

(13)

Bruinneall^p⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Luke McAteer⁽⁷⁾| T: T Cleary| OR: 58

33/1

Has failed to hit the frame in eight Flat starts on turf including a number of desolate efforts since April. On balance probably has quite a bit to find in this contest.

Form: 43/2089

(3)

Hit The Rocks¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Coen⁽⁵⁾| T: E Kent| OR: 57

15/2

Five race maiden who can be forgiven his most recent start at Tipperary earlier this month. April's promising efforts have caught the eye and the Fast Company gelding is entitled to be in the mix.

Form: 00-320

(14)

Sharg^b1²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: K J Leonard⁽³⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 56

25/1

10-race maiden who has failed to score on five starts on turf. First time blinkers unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

Form: 05-0700

(6)

Attack At Dawn⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: G P Halpin| T: K Prendergast| OR: 55

10/1

Intello filly who is without success in nine starts including a couple of below par efforts at Gowran Park and Roscommon earlier this month. Others appear to have more scope for improvement.

Form: 5790-07

(2)

Lady Rosebud¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: G M Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: P Martin| OR: 47

5/1

Possibly ran a career best on turf when finishing fourth of 12 beaten 1L in a bunch finish at the back end of last month in a Fairyhouse 1m2f handicap. Needs to back that performance up and holds strong place claims.

Form: 466174

(15)

Miss Louise¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: A J Slattery⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs D A Love| OR: 47

16/1

Winner of one of her 14 career starts on the Flat, sole win coming on the AW at Dundalk. Well held over hurdles recently and makes little appeal in this contest.

Form: 7-15500

(5)

Phebes Dream^h⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: C P Hoban| T: J C McConnell| OR: 46

4/1

Has yet to add to her sole win at Galway over 1m4f in October. Not beaten far on latest start at Fairyhouse on Friday and a repeat of that effort should see her in the hunt for more prize money.

Form: 81-4485

(11)

Lunastar¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: L F Roche| T: P W Flynn| OR: 45

33/1

Has suffered a number of heavy defeats in three starts since last month and remains a lowly 45-rated handicapper on the Flat, without success in seven starts on turf. Others make more appeal.

Form: 0-06070

(4)

Quite Subunctious⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Nathan Crosse⁽⁷⁾| T: K H Clarke| OR: 45

10/1

Without a win in seven starts on turf and finished well down the field when never nearer in a Fairyhouse 1m4f handicap on Friday. Overall record casts doubt on her ability to get competitive.

Form: 620750

Forecasts

Phebes Dream (4/1), Lady Rosebud (5/1), Maunganui (6/1), Castle Guest (7/1), Hit The Rocks (15/2), Quite Subunctious (10/1), Attack At Dawn (10/1), Eadbhard (14/1), Miss Louise (16/1), Sharg (25/1), Duquesa Beach (25/1), Olly's Folly (25/1), Bruinneall (33/1), Lunastar (33/1), Pivotal Man (33/1)

Based on a couple of encouraging efforts at Gowran Park and Cork last month, MAUNGANUI can finally get off the mark for connections at the 16th attempt. The Lord Shanakill gelding will look to hold of a number of challengers in the shape of recent Fairyhouse fourth, Lady Rosebud and the gallant top weight, Castle Guest. The Edmond Kent-trained, Hit The Rocks can go well in the contest.
