Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 10/1, respectable seventh of 17 in handicap at Navan (10f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Better showing not ruled out from further reduced mark.

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Fourteenth of 18 in handicap (40/1) at Navan (10f, good to soft) 26 days ago, never a threat. Plenty to find on form.

Form: 340-80

13/2

Turned in best effort of the season when second at Naas (1m, soft) on penultimate run in April. Disappointed when seventh of 14 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, soft, 17/2) 19 days ago. Refitting of a visor could have positive effect now.

7/1

One win from 29 Flat runs. 12/1, creditable second of 15 in handicap at Roscommon (7.4f, good) 13 days ago, running on. Possibilities with a repeat having slipped in the weights.

Han Solo²¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: A Leahy| OR: 59| D

14/1

Ended a lengthy losing run in 25-runner Cork handicap (7f) with a bold front-running performance in September. Best not judged too harshly on final outing at Dundalk in November but possible he'll be better for the run here following 7 months off.

9/1

10/1, bit below form eighth of 14 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, soft) 19 days ago, brief headway under 3f out and no further impression. Needs to show more before becoming of interest.

5/2

Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Good second of 13 in handicap (5/2) at Tipperary (9f, soft) 4 days ago, no impression on winner but keeping on. Of interest again from this much-reduced mark.

Form: 000-762

12/1

12/1, respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, soft) 19 days ago, nearest finish. Tongue strap on 1st time. Has good chance on pick of form.

50/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, last of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f). Off 6 months. Down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Mrs J. Harrington. Others more persuasive.

80/1

Won a Fairyhouse claimer on second of 2 starts for Noel Meade last July. However, well-beaten in pair of handicaps for James McAuley thereafter and he needs to hit the ground running starting out for new yard.

Lisamaria⁴

12/1

Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. Last of 13 in handicap at Tipperary (9f, soft, 13/2) 4 days ago, struggling 3f out. Needs to leave that well behind if she's to figure turned out quickly.

Forecasts

Venetian (5/2), Bear Profit (10/3), Comfort Line (13/2), Breezy Zoff (7/1), Kinda Tiny (9/1), Daonethatgotaway (12/1), Lisamaria (12/1), Han Solo (14/1), Rock Etoile (16/1), Roman Harry (25/1), Perfect Curves (33/1), Cosmic Lady (50/1), Zentopia (66/1), Susie Wosie (80/1)

VENETIAN has fallen plenty in the weights and ran his best race upon joining his present stable when second at Tipperary 4 days ago. Again partnered by Colin Keane, he can make a bold bid to cash in off his reduced mark. Daonethatgotaway and Breezy Zoff are others to consider, along with Comfort Line, who may be perked up by a switch of headgear.
