12/1

Boasts a win and has hit the frame on five starts over C&D. May need some relief from the handicapper. Jockey, winner of 30 races this term, currently sat in third position in the apprentice championship.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: P A Harnett⁽⁴⁾| T: J Geoghegan| OR: 57| D

22/1

Not beaten far in a couple of recent starts over C&D. Tends to race in rear in his races, leaving him plenty to do in the closing stages. First-time blinkers interesting.

Form: 23-0057

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: S M Mooney⁽⁴⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 55

20/1

Far from disgraced in a number of starts at this venue since September including finishing 4¾L adrift of Munfallet over C&D earlier this month. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

33/1

17-race maiden. Not beaten far on first couple of starts here but has finished well down the pack. Liable to find a couple stronger once again.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: L W Browne⁽⁷⁾| T: P Martin| OR: 51

50/1

Generally struggling of late including finishing last of 14 over C&D earlier this month. Inconceivable first time cheekpieces will produce the required amount of development needed to play a role here.

16/1

Five-race maiden. Beaten but not disgraced in a couple of starts at this venue previously over 7f. Market likely to be the best guide as the daughter of Bungle Inthejungle steps up in trip.

Northern Surprise¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 8-11| J: Emma Louise Doyle⁽⁷⁾| T: T Doyle| OR: 48| CD

33/1

Four-time winner here, the Azamour gelding has a couple of wins to his name over C&D from eight starts over the combination. Could be of interest now racing 2lb lower than last winning mark.

Sir Lolypop⁷⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: D E Sheehy| T: O McKiernan| OR: 50

33/1

Well held in a couple of dismal handicap starts after three similarly poor efforts in maidens beforehand, two over C&D. Easy to oppose.

8/1

Once again ran well over C&D when keeping on well to finish a close up third of 14 earlier this month. Repeat of that effort should see the daughter of Rip Van Winkle go close again.

CRAFTY HUGO can carry on where he left off over C&D earlier this month. The four-year-old got off the mark on his second start over the combination when landing a handicap contest off a 6lb lower mark at the start of the month. The Denis Hogan-trained Mulzamm can go well once again with the improving Dayereh looking capable of hitting the frame as she did over C&D earlier this month. Top weight Whatharm under Ben Coen is likely to go off in front and looks able enough to hang on for a place. The Ado McGuinness-trained Confident Kid could go well at a price.
