Deservedly got off the mark at the fourth time of asking on turf when landing a maiden contest over C&D last month. Open to more improvement and a leading player once again.

Ciao^b²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Chris Hayes| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 79

7/1

Both wins have come on AW and hasn't looked quite as effective on turf to date, though did produced a decent run when finishing fifth of 18 beaten 4¾L over 1m2f at the Curragh last month. May need a couple to falter.

Form: 419285

12/1

Distance winner over this trip in France and is likely to improve on her fourth of 10 beaten 1¼L at Cork earlier this month, the first run on the Flat for the yard. Likely to run well once again.

Stormy Tale¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Ben Coen⁽⁵⁾| T: M Mulvany| OR: 75| D

14/1

Solid and consistent winner of four of her 24 starts on turf including success at Roscommon earlier this month. Life more difficult under a penalty but very much a leading player.

Form: 620231

Cj Cregg^h,t⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Nathan Crosse⁽⁷⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 73

11/2

Has shown a distinct likely for the switch to the turf, winning on both of her most recent starts earlier this month. Carries a penalty for recent deeds but far from certain to stop a big effort in this contest.

Form: 4-33611

Leagan Gaeilge²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Rory Cleary| T: J S Bolger| OR: 81

9/1

Made winning start in 1m Gowran Park maiden before a 2L defeat in a Leopardstown 7f handicap in October. Put a disappointing Naas run on seasonal debut behind her with a promising third of eight beaten ½L at the Curragh last month. Place claims.

Form: 14-03

Vallambrosa¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: A C Persse⁽⁷⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 81

25/1

One from 11 starts in her career with the sole win coming in a Fairyhouse 6f contest 11 months ago. Not disgraced in three starts this term but liable to find a couple stronger once again in this company.

Form: 500-668

(5)

Camphor¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 78| D

6/4

Ability shown in a couple of spins at Cork was brought to fruition as the daughter of Camelot landed a Navan 1m2f maiden earlier this month. One for the shortlist representing respected connections.

Camphor (6/4), Latoyah Of North (7/2), Cj Cregg (11/2), Ciao (7/1), Leagan Gaeilge (9/1), Melburnian (12/1), Stormy Tale (14/1), Vallambrosa (25/1)

The Jim Bolger-yard have a solid 64% win and place strike rate at this meeting in the last four years and can land the spoils with LEAGAN GAEILGE. The three-year-old appeared back near her best in a Curragh handicap last month and can get the better of the Jessica Harrington-trained, Camphor and the hat-trick seeking, Cj Cregg.
