Topomania^b1³²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: G M Ryan| T: G B Caldwell| OR: 60

40/1

Showed ability with two 2nd place finishes in 2022 but finished 24th of 25 in handicap at Curragh (50/1) 32 days ago after long absence. First-time blinkers replace cheekpieces for significant step up in trip. Bit to prove.

Form: 224/0

Roman Harry¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: J J G Ryan⁽³⁾| T: C O'Connell| OR: 59

13/2

Best form in claimers of late. Second of 14 in claimer at Tipperary (9f) 10 days ago when the step back up in trip was very much in his favour. Back up in trip again today which should suit on return to handicap.

Form: 020052

Stormy Jenn²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: M De Souza-Wearen⁽¹⁰⁾| T: P Cluskey| OR: 58

50/1

Would have a chance on the best of her form from last year but most recent Flat runs have been disappointing. Unseated rider in a hurdle handicap at Sligo (40/1) 24 days ago, showing nothing after 6 months off. Leap of faith required but not totally dismissed if bouncing back to form.

Form: 30/2000-

Jawhary^v¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Adam Caffrey| T: A McGuinness| OR: 53| D

16/1

Ran well when 4th of 14 in handicap at Leopardstown 21 days ago but disappointed when 8th of 12 in handicap at Tipperary (10/1) 10 days ago, weakening after being close up early. Inconsistent and remains to be seen if he can bounce back.

Form: 0-52048

Asisaid^p⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: J M Sheridan| T: D Hogan| OR: 50| BF

6/1

Modest recent form in 7f/1m handicaps and ran to similar level on hurdles debut in February. Finished sixth of 15 in a handicap at Gowran Park (7/2) 44 days ago, failing to justify support. Has shaped as though this step up to 10f could be within his range. One to consider.

Form: 6240-06

Master Garvey^t⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: C D Hayes| T: Joseph Murray| OR: 50

10/1

Won at Dundalk in March with tongue strap back on, then ran creditably when 4th over 10.7f at Dundalk. Underperformed stepped up to 12f last time. The return to a shorter trip should better. Shortlisted.

Form: 501748

Don't Look Now⁴⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: J A Heffernan| T: S Crawley| OR: 49

20/1

Showed brief promise in early 2024 but well beaten in 12th of 14 at Dundalk (10/1) 455 days ago on final start for Luke Comer. Cheekpieces removed on first run for new trainer and one to note in the betting following a significant absence.

Form: 094/230-

Our Lucky Lady⁷⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Jessica O'Gorman⁽⁷⁾| T: P G Fahey| OR: 49

25/1

Shown very little in four all-weather starts, most recently finishing 8th of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (25/1) 70 days ago. Looks limited on evidence so far and others preferred.

Form: 90-78

(7)

Onemorestar⁶⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: W Joyce⁽³⁾| T: J Motherway| OR: 47

40/1

Has shown little in three maiden starts. Last of 11 in maiden at Curragh (200/1) 69 days ago, never likely to be suited by drop to 6f. Up markedly in trip for handicap debut but needs to improve.

Form: 9-00

(9)

Blondina²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D P McDonogh| T: J S Bolger| OR: 58

11/2

Has shown modest form in handicaps including when 9th of 19 at Navan over this distance in April. Finished 10th of 15 in a handicap at Roscommon (9/1) 25 days ago, off the bridle early and never involved. Back up in trip which seemed to suit better previously. Still has a bit to find.

Form: 065-90

(1)

Felicity Smoak⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: J Pietropaolo⁽⁷⁾| T: P Nolan| OR: 58

28/1

Shown little ability in 5 starts, finishing 9th of 12 in handicap at Limerick (28/1) 42 days ago when slowly into stride and always behind. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 0060-9

Dolce Far Niente¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: G F Carroll| T: J G Murphy| OR: 44

8/1

Some promise when placed in handicaps last year but again below form on reappearance. Finished 9th of 15 in handicap at Gowran Park (15/2) 16 days ago after 7 months off. Will need to step forward considerably from that run.

Form: 26890-9

(13)

Together Aclaim^t¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: K G Kennedy⁽⁵⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 44| D

16/1

Not the most consistent performer but returned to form out of the blue to win a 14-runner handicap at Cork (25/1) over this distance 17 days ago, making steady progress from the rear before leading inside the final furlong. Capable when in the mood.

Form: 385091

Kartayaz³³

Age: 8| Weight: 8-12| J: R M Mulligan⁽⁷⁾| T: G A Kingston| OR: 42| D

8/1

Winless in 25 attempts since December 2022 but finished third of 10 in handicap at Sligo (11/2) 33 days ago showing improvement from reappearance run/stable debut. Should be competitive if in similar form here.

Form: 7449-53

(12)

Shahada Ace²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: A J Slattery| T: A Slattery| OR: 55

22/1

Shown little in four career starts, finishing ninth of 15 in handicap at Roscommon (50/1) 25 days ago. Not easy to make a case for with improvement needed for significant step up to 10f.

Form: 0009

(19)

Sassy Sox¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: L F Roche| T: Ian Donoghue| OR: 54

40/1

Shown poor form in five starts and was 7th of 13 in a claimer at Gowran Park (66/1) 16 days ago after stable switch. Looks up against it.

Form: 5080-7

(21)

Chriselli⁶²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: M W Hassett⁽⁵⁾| T: D Cullen| OR: 51

10/1

Best effort when 4th at Dundalk on penultimate start but below form when finished 10th of 15 in handicap at Bellewstown (11/1) 62 days ago, never dangerous. Improvement needed up in trip (bred to stay this far).

Form: 099-40

(18)

Forlio^b1,t⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: L T McAteer| T: P W Flynn| OR: 58

13/2

Has struggled with 12 runs without success since winning over a year ago. Finished sixth of 17 in handicap at this course and distance (11/1) 8 days ago, going through the motions and never threatening. First-time blinkers replace cheekpieces today but needs a couple of these to falter. RESERVE

Forecasts

Deuteronomy (7/2), Blondina (11/2), Asisaid (6/1), Roman Harry (13/2), Forlio (13/2), Dolce Far Niente (8/1), Kartayaz (8/1), Chriselli (10/1), Master Garvey (10/1), So Messi (10/1), Jawhary (16/1), Together Aclaim (16/1), Don't Look Now (20/1), La Tulipe Noire (20/1), Shahada Ace (22/1), Our Lucky Lady (25/1), Felicity Smoak (28/1), Sassy Sox (40/1), Topomania (40/1), Onemorestar (40/1), Stormy Jenn (50/1)

ASISAID isn't bred for stamina but wasn't disgraced on hurdles debut earlier this season and was well-backed when disappointing over 7f on the Flat last time. His running style suggests this longer trip could be within reach and he may be able to capitalise on a falling handicap mark. Roman Harry has been performing creditably in claimers and should be suited by this extra furlong, while Kartayaz ran much better on second start for current connections and could be in the mix again.
