6/1

Fairly useful gelding. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable second of 14 in maiden at this course (7f, 5/4) 5 days ago. Expected to be in the shake up again with new headgear mix applied.

Fascinating Story^h³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Robbie Colgan| T: A J Martin

Tincurra Lad¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: K J Leonard| T: W J Martin

200/1

Winning jumper. 200/1, minor promise when ninth of 12 in maiden at this course (12f) on flat debut 15 days ago. Low-grade handicaps will be more his bag.

Carlo Bianconi²⁸⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| BF

4/5

Promising type. Second of 15 in maiden at Gowran (9.6f, heavy, 11/4) on debut in April, inexperience holding him back in the finish. Absent since but very much the type to do better with that under his belt. Sound claims.

12/1

Twice-raced filly who left debut form well behind when second of 14 in maiden (125/1) at this C&D 19 days ago, running on late. Possible she can do better again and each-way claims.

Forecasts

Carlo Bianconi (4/5), Squire Danagher (2/1), Expound (6/1), Second Girl (12/1), Morse (14/1), Little Empire (66/1), Fascinating Story (80/1), Liberty Vallence (100/1), Zazir (100/1), Calmafterthestorm (100/1), Tincurra Lad (200/1), Primitivo (200/1)

CARLO BIANCONI made an encouraging debut and likely would have won had he kept straight when edged out late on in a Gowran maiden in April. That experience won't have been wasted on him and he can make a winning return to action with progress anticipated. Expound and Squire Danagher can give Joseph O'Brien's 4-y-o most to think about.
