Won one of his seven juvenile starts on turf, success coming in a Tipperary 7½f maiden on good/yielding ground in August last year. Well held on both starts back since racing resumed earlier this month.
Nine-race maiden, yet to hit the frame in five starts on turf. Well backed when disappointing once again in a Fairyhouse 6f handicap on Monday, finishing fourth of the nine runners as the 11/10 beaten favourite. Capable of a big run.
Gelded son of Alhebayeb out of a Owington mare. Well down the field on three career starts so far in August/September last year. Plenty to prove on handicap debut.
Off the mark at the eighth attempt when winning a Dundalk handicap on the AW in November. Yet to hit the frame in seven starts on turf and has disappointed so far in couple of starts back earlier this month.
Only had a handful of starts and showed marked improvement to finish a close-up third at Roscommon before disappointing in a Naas 1m handicap earlier this month. Others look open to more improvement.
Plenty to take from her first couple of starts this term at Fairyhouse and Naas earlier this month. Likable type who should be in the mix.
Seven-race maiden, yet to hit the frame in five starts on turf including on return to action at Roscommon earlier this month. First time blinkers unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.
Four-race maiden. Yet to get within 9L of the winner on each of his career starts so far running between 1m and 1m2½f including when 12th of 14 at Gowran Park earlier this month. Looks opposable once again.
Yet to finish within 10L of the winner in her four career starts so far, including when last seen at this venue over 6½f in October. Makes limited appeal in this contest on handicap debut.
Maiden, yet to hit the frame in eight career starts. Career best effort has come on the AW at Dundalk. Well held in a couple of starts since racing resumed at Roscommon and Limerick.
Posted a career best effort when finishing third of 13 runners at Roscommon earlier in the month, beaten 3½L behind Slieve Bearnagh. More than capable of a big run off a similar mark.
Forecasts
Dark Design (10/3), Slade Runner (9/2), Miss Dancealot (5/1), Enchanted One (11/2), Be Like The Bird (15/2), Strawberry Morn (8/1), Take My Hand (10/1), Miss Adventurous (11/1), Buachaill Or (33/1), Romann (40/1), Ahaziah (40/1)
MISS DANCEALOT was staying on in the closing stages of her last race at Roscommon earlier in the month and can benefit for the step up in trip to get off the mark for connections at the fifth time of asking. The filly can improve on that effort at the expense of the Johnny Murtagh-trained Enchanted One, who is better than his two starts at Leopardstown and Naas earlier this month suggest. Slade Runner is capable of improving on latest start at Fairyhouse earlier in the month when sent off the 11/10f, while top-weight Be Like A Bird should given careful consideration.
- Miss Dancealot
- Enchanted One
- Slade Runner
