Nibiru^b,t³⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 12-4| J: Janina Boysen⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs C O'Leary| OR: 82

28/1

Unreliable individual. 100/1, eighth of 12 in novice chase at Tipperary (17.3f, good to soft) on debut over fences 37 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Latest Flat outing was laboured and others are more appealing.

Form: 060-810

(12)

Riyami^p,t⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr D Poggi⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 75

10/3

Latest win at Dundalk in February. 33/1, twelfth of 17 in handicap at Galway (16.5f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Seems to have lost his form for the time being.

Form: 51-1260

(2)

Curious Bride^t³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Mrs Karen Dieltjens⁽⁵⁾| T: E O'Connell| OR: 70

9/2

Won 12-runner handicap at Limerick (17f, good, 9/2) 32 days ago, staying on well. Should get competitive again.

Form: 20-7241

Whiskey Sour²⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr A Lezama⁽⁷⁾| T: S Wilson| OR: 66| C

20/1

Seventeen runs since last win in 2017. Tenth of 12 in handicap (40/1) at Down Royal (13f, good) 20 days ago. Others are more persuasive.

Form: 0-08900

(5)

Spanish John³³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Mr B Barry⁽⁷⁾| T: P A Fahy| OR: 62

18/1

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Poor winner at 17f over hurdles. Ninth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (20.5f, good to firm, 18/1) 33 days ago. Chance on old form.

Form: 05-800

(8)

Wendell's Lass⁴³²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Ms Tereza Grbavcicova⁽⁷⁾| T: T Gibney| OR: 60

16/1

Very good second of 14 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (16.8f, good, 12/1). Off 14 months. Modest on the Flat. Worth monitoring in the betting but may find this tricky after such an absence.

Form: 498425/

Elzaamsan^b²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Mr J M Halford⁽⁷⁾| T: M Halford & T Collins| OR: 59

7/2

Remains a maiden after 22 Flat runs. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (12.8f, good, 10/1) 21 days ago, clear of rest. Leading contender.

Form: 544-925

Kottayam^b1¹⁶⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-9| J: Mr S P Queally⁽⁷⁾| T: J Queally| OR: 59

11/1

40/1, below form seventh of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (16f). Off 160 days. Blinkers on 1st time. Worth a market check.

Form: 80750-7

(13)

Futurum Regem^b¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: Eoghan Finegan⁽⁷⁾| T: H P Finegan| OR: 55

10/3

One win from 24 Flat runs. 1 win from 3 runs this year. 9/1, good third of 14 in handicap at Sligo (13.4f, good to soft) 1 day ago. Heading back in the right direction recently.

Form: 382-513

(4)

Television^p¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Mr A J Lord⁽⁷⁾| T: H P Finegan| OR: 49

20/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, below form sixth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (18.9f, good, 10/1) 13 days ago. Modest on the Flat, creditable on last Flat run.

Forecasts

Riyami (10/3), Futurum Regem (10/3), Elzaamsan (7/2), Curious Bride (9/2), Influential Lady (5/1), Astar (7/1), Kottayam (11/1), Wendell's Lass (16/1), Spanish John (18/1), Television (20/1), Whiskey Sour (20/1), Nibiru (28/1), Supreme Law (33/1)

A tricky contest in which it might pay to side with INFLUENTIAL LADY, who has been holding her form well and shaped better than the result when fourth over C&D last time. Elzaamsan was one position behind the selection in the same race, so he's worth considering along with Futurum Regem, who appears to be on an upward curve.
