Lustful¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: D O'Brien| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 63| CD

9/4

C&D winner earlier this month getting off the mark at the for connections at the 11th time of asking. Plenty to like a bout the manner of the success and another bold show is expected.

Form: 4403-41

(17)

Galeola¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Robbie Colgan| T: S Lavery| OR: 62

11/2

Improving sort, winner and off the mark on his fourth start in a Leopardstown 1m6f handicap on good ground earlier this month off a 9lb lower mark. Life more difficult under a penalty but very much a leading player.

Form: 8-851

Mademoiselle Penny³⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: J A Heffernan| T: P J Flynn| OR: 58| D

14/1

Winner of four of her 18 Flat starts on turf but currently races 7lb lower than her last winning mark. Not seen since finishing in midfield at Killarney 11 months ago.

Form: P/77248-

(13)

Sharp Focus²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Colin Keane| T: J J Murphy| OR: 57

12/1

Four-race maiden and not much to shout about based on each effort. Best watched on handicap debut unless the market has other ideas.

Form: 0006

(12)

Shes Gold¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: W J Lee| T: T Mullins| OR: 57

25/1

Modest 88-rated maiden hurdle who has failed to hit the frame in five starts on the Flat. Makes limited appeal in this event and difficult to see where improvement is coming from.

Form: 3609-0

(8)

Uno Momento^h,t¹⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: O J Orr| T: T Mullins| OR: 56

33/1

Eight-race maiden over timber and his second of eight in a Gowran Park 7f handicap two years ago remains his career best performance from 11 starts on the Flat. Needs to improve on overall form to play a role in this.

Form: 200/908-

(4)

Sunnyhill Lad⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: A M Glynn⁽¹⁰⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 55

33/1

Well held in a couple of starts over hurdles this year before finishing 43L adrift of the main protagonists at Gowran Park last month. Capable of bouncing back if in the mood.

Form: 61203-0

(2)

Steelyeyed^p,t¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: G M Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: P Martin| OR: 53

10/1

Hasn't won since June 2017 and form has become very inconsistent of late. Hints of a return to form earlier this month at this venue but unlikely to gain her third Flat win here.

Form: 4006-04

(14)

El Tren^b¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: S M Crosse⁽⁵⁾| T: A A Howard| OR: 52| CD

10/1

C&D winner, the Danehill Dancer geldings sole win in 21 turf starts on the Flat. Hard to totally rule out now racing 4lb lower than last winning mark.

Form: 370-469

(7)

Molly Kaye⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: N G McCullagh| T: S M Duffy| OR: 52

10/1

15-race maiden who has failed to hit the target in 10 races on turf. Signs of promise last month in a Gowran Park 2m6f handicap, finishing second of 17 beaten a little over 1L. Fancied to go well once again at this level.

Form: 8537-02

(20)

Appian Way³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Declan McDonogh| T: C O'Brien| OR: 61

20/1

Outran 100/1 odds lately in his second start when finishing seventh of 16 at Naas in April before a dismal effort at Cork last month. Plenty to prove at present.

Form: 070

(9)

Long Wood⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: C P Hoban| T: M A Cahill| OR: 46

50/1

Six-race maiden who has failed to hit the frame in four turf starts to date. Comeback run at Cork earlier this month on stable debut was short of what is required.

Form: 60966-0

(18)

Shoofly⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: S Foley| T: N Lupini| OR: 46| D

9/1

Sole career win came on the AW at Lingfield when the mare was in the care of trainer, Martyn Meade. Ran with credit in a Fairyhouse 1m4f handicap earlier this month to finish fourth of 18. Tough ask.

Form: 09-9764

(10)

Grove Gold²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: K J Leonard⁽³⁾| T: E M O'Sullivan| OR: 55

7/1

Without success in five starts for the Mustameet gelding who is yet to hit the frame. Step up in trip may suit and market likely to be the best guide here.

Form: 75-087

(11)

Charlie Bit Me²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: A J Slattery⁽⁵⁾| T: Madeleine Tylicki| OR: 45

25/1

Not much to shout about in four starts for the Famous Name gelding and overall record casts doubt on his ability to get competitive here stepping up in trip.

Form: 0-008

(15)

Jillbridge¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: M A Gallagher| T: E O'Connell| OR: 45

66/1

Will have disappointed connections in three laboured efforts since making her debut in October and in a couple of seasonal appearance recently. Major step up in trip unlikely to trigger any great improvement.

Form: 0-00

(5)

King Con^t⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A L T Moore| OR: 50

33/1

First Reserve: Four-race maiden well held on each start since debut run at Roscommon in August. Unlikely to cause much of a stir if making the line-up.

Form: 590-0

Forecasts

Lustful (9/4), Galeola (11/2), Grove Gold (7/1), Shoofly (9/1), Molly Kaye (10/1), El Tren (10/1), Steelyeyed (10/1), Sharp Focus (12/1), Mademoiselle Penny (14/1), Military Star (14/1), Mosh (16/1), High Glory (16/1), Appian Way (20/1), Dsoloman (20/1), Shes Gold (25/1), Charlie Bit Me (25/1), Uno Momento (33/1), Sunnyhill Lad (33/1), King Con (33/1), Long Wood (50/1), Jillbridge (66/1)

Winner of a Leopardstown 1m7f handicap earlier this month, GALEOLA can land the spoils for trainer, Sheila Lavery in the closing race of the afternoon. The Joseph O'Brien-trained Lustful and Gowran Park runner-up, Molly Kaye can battle it out for the remaining prize money, while Sunnyhill Lad and C&D winner El Tren can go well at big prices if any of the main protagonists falter.
