11/1

Lightly-raced winner. Thirteenth of 16 in handicap (11/1) at this C&D (soft). Off 7 months. Yard in good form. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort.

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Jessica O'Gorman⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 91| BF| D

16/1

8/1 and blinkered for 1st time, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Cork (12f, good), having run of race. Off 11 months though so needs to hit the ground running.

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Ms P R Briselden⁽⁷⁾| T: A J Martin| OR: 88| D

66/1

125/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (17f, good to soft) 5 days ago. Useful on the Flat so he's not ruled out.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: R P Cody| OR: 80

11/2

11/8

Smart winner at 20f in chases. Sixth of 14 in handicap chase at Punchestown (21f, good to soft, 18/1) 21 days ago. Fair on the Flat and weighted to go well back in this sphere.

Forecasts

Authorized Art (11/8), Burren Song (7/2), War Correspondent (11/2), Effernock Fizz (6/1), Nibiru (7/1), S'all Good Man (10/1), Lord Erskine (10/1), Magellan Strait (11/1), Hell Bent (16/1), Hawke Eye (33/1), Liberated Light (33/1), Vultan (66/1), In Favour (80/1)

BURREN SONG arrives on the up and is fancied to defy a 6 lb rise in the weights and complete a hat-trick at the chief expense of Willie Mullins' Authorized Art, who returns to this sphere on a handy-looking mark. Dundalk scorer S'All Good Man appeals as the pick of the rest for place purposes.
