Selected odds by:

Keep Coming³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Miss L A Perratt

22/1

Promise on debut at Musselburgh in December and bounced back after a poor run when finishing fourth at Ayr last month. Step forward required here.

Form: 48-4

Listentillitellyea^h1¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: T Scudamore| T: P Magee

28/1

Pushkin gelding who went with little encouragement when eighth of 11 in bumper at Tipperary (20f, heavy) on debut 12 days ago. Hood now applied but needs to leave that effort well behind.

Form: 8

Master Of The Malt³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Alain Cawley| T: D Bourke

10/3

Yeats gelding who attracted support and showed something to work on when third of 9 in bumper (13/2) at Ayr (16f, heavy) on debut 33 days ago. Can build on that here.

Form: 3

Saint Patric¹⁰²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Charlotte Jones⁽⁵⁾| T: James Moffatt

11/2

Half-brother to bumper winner/fair hurdler Lady Bowes. Dam maiden hurdler (stayed 2¾m). Mid-field in pair of bumpers earlier this year and probably one for later on.

Form: 67-

Sergeant Strippy²³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: C Grant

100/1

Proclamation gelding who ran no sort of race when last of 12 in bumper at Sedgefield (16.8f, good to soft) on debut 7 months ago. Very hard to see him taking a hand here.

Form: 0-

Harvey Hillstar

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Aidan Coleman| T: Gary McGill

16/1

€3,000 3-y-o, Hillstar gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including smart hurdler/useful chaser River Liane. Dam French 9f winner.

Form:

Hemlock⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: D A Jacob| T: Robert Widger

7/2

Twice-raced maiden. 6/1, ran to a similar level as on debut when seventh of 22 in bumper at Punchestown (16.4f, good to soft) 40 days ago. First run for yard after leaving W. P. Mullins.

Form: 57-

Life Made Simple

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

25/1

Sulamani gelding. Dam unraced. Probably best watch unless the market says otherwise.

Form:

Ninetofive

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson

9/2

Malinas gelding. First foal: dam unraced sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Fairytale Theatre and closely related to useful but temperamental hurdler/chaser (stayed 27f) On The Bridge.

Form:

Maura Jeanne⁷¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: C O'Farrell| T: I A Duncan

33/1

28/1, showed a bit when fifth of 10 in bumper at Kelso (16.2f, soft) on debut 71 days ago but the form has taken a couple of knocks since.

Form: 5-

Mazamix^h1¹⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: S Mulqueen| T: J S Goldie

100/1

Mazameer filly who showed some ability when third of 6 in bumper (5/1) at Newcastle (16.2f, standard to slow) on debut back in January. Hood now applied and needs to step forward on turf debut.

Form: 3-

Nordic Express²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Craig Nichol| T: I A Duncan

200/1

40/1, tailed-off seventh of 8 to Betty Baloo in bumper at Hexham (heavy) on debut 29 days ago.

Form: 7

Forecasts

Master Of The Malt (10/3), Hemlock (7/2), Shantou Champagne (4/1), Ninetofive (9/2), Fathers Advice (5/1), Saint Patric (11/2), Harvey Hillstar (16/1), Keep Coming (22/1), Life Made Simple (25/1), Listentillitellyea (28/1), Maura Jeanne (33/1), Sergeant Strippy (100/1), Mazamix (100/1), Nordic Express (200/1)

Not the strongest of contests on paper but FATHERS ADVICE showed plenty to work on when runner-up on debut at Ayr last month. He will have learnt plenty that day and is taken to go one better here. Master of The Malt and Hemlock look the main threats and can chase the selection home in that order.
