Fit For Function²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: G F Carroll| T: J G Murphy| OR: 75| BF| D

7/2

Distance winner who was beaten favourite on his latest start finishing second of seven at Gowran Park last month. Likable type who should be in the mix.

Form: 509132

Major Reward⁶²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: C T Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 80| D

11/4

Modest handicapper, already on to his third trainer following a number of defeats for trainer Adrian Keatley. Best watched on debut for yard among the winners at Bellewstown this week.

Form: 1-6209

(4)

Fridtjof Nansen⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: M A Gallagher| T: K P Cotter| OR: 69

8/1

Has failed to hit the target in 14 starts in his career including a number of modest efforts over a variety of trips last month. Hard to fancy on overall evidence and others hold sturdier claims in this event.

Form: 5-03770

(6)

Dragons Call³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: N M Crosse⁽⁷⁾| T: J Feane| OR: 75

10/1

Win over 5f in a Navan handicap in September remains the sole win in seven starts for the daughter of Dragon Pulse. Worth a check in the market stepping back up in trip.

Form: 414-959

(7)

Parkers Hill^b1²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: S Foley| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 75

7/1

One from five starts in his career but the No Nay Never colt has produced a couple of below par efforts this season. First time blinkers unlikely to bring about the required amount of progression needed to land a blow here.

Form: 41-069

(3)

Master Matt⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: S M Crosse⁽⁵⁾| T: M J Smith| OR: 73

10/3

The promise shown as a juvenile when in the care of trainer Denis Quinn has continued this term with new connections. Can give another good account of himself.

Form: 232-015

(2)

Count Of Carabass^p¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 8-4| J: C D Hayes| T: Miss H McLoughlin| OR: 51| CD

10/1

Finished fifth of 15 on his 50th start on turf in a Down Royal 7f handicap last month. Winner at this venue previously and not completely ruled out.

Form: 307-575

Forecasts

Major Reward (11/4), Master Matt (10/3), Fit For Function (7/2), Parkers Hill (7/1), Fridtjof Nansen (8/1), Dragons Call (10/1), Count Of Carabass (10/1)

FIT FOR FUNCTION can get back to winning ways here on the back of a couple of near misses last month. The six-year-old has been running well in defeat recently and can see off the attentions of possible dangers in Sligo winner, Master Matt and Major Reward on debut for the Ger Lyons yard.
