16/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, not seen to best effect when seventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Cork (19.6f, good to soft) 20 days ago, unsuited by the way the race developed. Retains some potential.

Forecasts

Mick Charlie (5/2), Colonel Lesley (11/2), Moyode Lady (11/2), Jiving Jerry (6/1), Fly De Megaudais (12/1), Call His Bluff (12/1), Rathnaleen Tou (12/1), Mister Thriller (16/1), Feagreen Native (16/1), Trouble And Strife (20/1), Da Big Fella (22/1), Mrs Davies (25/1), Fly Round The Bend (33/1), Bintheredonethat (33/1), Goodnightmare (33/1), Best Not Argue (33/1), Swiss Brid (40/1), Amber And Black (80/1)

MICK CHARLIE ran out a decisive winner on just his second handicap start at Kilbeggan 2 weeks ago, and the form of that win has already been franked, so his follow-up claims appear to be strong, despite a significant rise in the weights. Moyode Lady should give another good account, while Colonel Lesley also enters calculations following an improved effort at Ballinrobe last month.
