14/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 12 in maiden at Leopardstown (12f, good, 66/1) 13 days ago, always behind. However, previous effort at that venue not without promise and not one to write off now handicapping in first-time blinkers.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: L T McAteer⁽³⁾| T: J S Bolger| OR: 64

Notturno^b¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: D McMonagle| T: N Meade| OR: 63

5/2

Respectable fifth of 16 in handicap (13/2) at this course (12f, good to soft) 10 days ago, doing well to finish as close as he did from unfavourable draw. One to bear in mind.

Form: 879-525

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: R C Colgan| T: S Lavery| OR: 62

9/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1 and blinkered for 1st time, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Gowran (9.4f, soft) 22 days ago, off bridle long way out and merely passing beaten rivals. Up in trip.

Form: 097-44

Believe Me Now¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: A J Slattery| T: A Slattery| OR: 60

Ruler Of The River²¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: J Coen⁽⁵⁾| T: A Kinirons| OR: 59

33/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Again showed little when seventh of 10 in maiden (80/1) at Galway (8.3f, heavy) in October, weakening straight. Work to do from opening mark back from 7 months off.

Form: 067-

Show No Fear¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: J M Sheridan| T: D Hogan| OR: 57

6/1

15/2, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Sligo (10.4f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Not out of the question this longer trip will bring about some progress and his mark is steadily easing.

22/1

11/1

Forecasts

Notturno (5/2), Upepo (9/2), Parish Star (11/2), Show No Fear (6/1), Believe Me Now (6/1), Glyde Ranger (11/1), Youcrackmeup (14/1), Lilac Lady (14/1), Charlie Darling (22/1), Ruler Of The River (33/1), Cloughaneely Mor (125/1)

NOTTURNO had a couple of re-opposing rivals behind him when runner-up in first-time blinkers at Sligo on his penultimate start and, having not been seen to best effect when fifth at this venue 10 days ago, he's worth siding with to come out on top from what looks a workable mark. Show No Fear and Upepo head up the dangers, ahead of Glyde Ranger.
