Charanda⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: D Egan| T: A Murray| OR: 60

22/1

Maiden who arrives here with something to prove, no upturn for a drop in grade when sixth of 11 behind re-opposing Weegeebear in claimer (16/1) at Gowran (8f, soft) 44 days ago. Needs to bounce back returned to handicaps.

Form: 457756

Remember The Bear⁹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: B M Coen| T: Miss H McLoughlin| OR: 60| BF

50/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 1/6, proved no match for sole rival on qualifying run in novice at Newcastle (5f) in March. Hard to warm to now starting out in handicaps for new connections.

Form: 0-92

Weegeebear^v²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Adam Caffrey| T: A McGuinness| OR: 57| D

15/2

Latest win at Gowran in April. 11/2, creditable third of 7 in claimer at Ballinrobe (9.6f, good) 21 days ago. Back down in trip. Not out of things.

Form: 101303

(7)

Bamako^v1²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: G F Carroll| T: A Oliver| OR: 55

28/1

Unreliable type who took little interest returning from 7 months off when last of 20 in handicap at Naas (5f, good, 66/1) 20 days ago. Visor replaces cheekpieces ahead of this and he's hard to fancy back up in trip.

Form: 75400-0

(15)

Sovereign Banter^p1¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: C D Hayes| T: E J O'Grady| OR: 54

12/1

Ten Sovereigns colt who made more impact than previously down in grade when second of 12 in maiden claimer at Roscommon (7.4f, good, 25/1) 11 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and not dismissed from career-low mark with a repeat returned to handicaps.

Form: 0999-02

(11)

Annie Lavinia^p,t¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: W J Lee| T: E Lynam| OR: 53

4/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable fifth of 19 in handicap at Navan (5.8f, good, 10/1) 13 days ago, never nearer. Step back up in trip looks in her favour and she's worth a second look.

Form: 736-655

(12)

Eric Lock^b⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: C T Keane| T: N Meade| OR: 53| BF

11/2

Still a maiden but went close with blinkers enlisted when runner-up in handicaps at Naas/Dundalk during the spring. Excuses on account of the quick turnaround when fourth of 9 in handicap at Bellewstown (5f) 55 days ago and better showing anticipated.

Form: 556224

(6)

Jasmine Affanalis^h¹⁰⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: L T McAteer| T: D Marnane| OR: 53

50/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, eleventh of 13 in maiden at Dundalk (7f), not knocked about. Off 107 days. Makes handicap debut and worth noting if market vibes are positive.

Form: 0-00

(14)

Micasso^t¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Alexandra Egan⁽¹⁰⁾| T: D Kinsella| OR: 53

16/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1, respectable sixth of 19 in handicap at Navan (5.8f, good) 13 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. May well have more to offer from this sort of mark on that evidence with the return to 7f a plus.

Form: 000-66

(16)

Searcog²⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J J G Ryan⁽³⁾| T: P Magee| OR: 53

10/1

Inns Of Court filly who displayed some promise on 2 of her 3 starts in turf maidens at up to 1m last summer. Switch to handicaps a plus returning from 8 months off and she's another to note if strong in the betting.

Form: 470-

(17)

Letters Of Love¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: M W Hassett⁽⁵⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 52

11/2

Creditable third of 12 in maiden claimer (5/1) at Roscommon (7.4f, good) 11 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. This test may well prove on the sharp side returned to handicaps.

Form: 865583

(2)

Breath Of You^p¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: P A Harnett⁽⁵⁾| T: Conor Maxwell| OR: 51

20/1

50/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fared better than previously when seventh of 19 in handicap at Navan (5.8f, good) 13 days ago, rallying late on. Return to further worth exploring on that evidence.

Form: 004-007

(9)

Undefeatable¹⁹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: W Joyce⁽³⁾| T: K Smith| OR: 51

13/2

Lightly-raced maiden who looked stretched by the trip when seventh of 13 in nursery (13/2) at Dundalk (7f) in November, no extra when headed over 1f out. Eased 5 lb ahead of return but best effort to date came at 6f.

Form: 09037-

Merchants Arch^p1³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: S Foley| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 59

6/1

Thirteenth of 16 in handicap at Gowran (8f, soft, 11/1) 37 days ago, left poorly placed. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Reserve 1.

Forecasts

Annie Lavinia (4/1), Kilgharrahs Love (5/1), Eric Lock (11/2), Letters Of Love (11/2), Merchants Arch (6/1), Undefeatable (13/2), Weegeebear (15/2), Searcog (10/1), Sovereign Banter (12/1), Micasso (16/1), Ms Olivia (16/1), Breath Of You (20/1), Charanda (22/1), Esque Elegance (25/1), Bamako (28/1), Jasmine Affanalis (50/1), Remember The Bear (50/1)

Claims can be made for plenty here including ANNIE LAVINIA who didn't shape at all badly with a view to stepping back up in trip when fifth in a big-field handicap at Navan 2 weeks ago and the booking of Billy Lee is a plus operating from a career-low mark. Eric Lock and Kilgharrahs Love are others to consider, along with Sovereign Banter.
