Perfect Judgement^b¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: J Kearney⁽³⁾| T: Stephen Thorne| OR: 86| D

15/2

2 wins from 4 runs this year. Thirteenth of 18 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good, 40/1) 18 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 51-1150

85/40

Course winner who was returning from 6 months off when good third of 9 in handicap at Gowran (7f, soft, 10/1) 49 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Should be spot on now and holds strong claims.

Form: 34184-3

Nocturnal²¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: W M Lordan| T: N Lupini| OR: 81| D

5/1

Last of 8 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 11/1). Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving James Ferguson. Needs a couple of these to falter.

5/1

Course winner who bounced back to form when good second of 20 in handicap (28/1) at the Curragh (8f, good) 19 days ago. Raised 3 lb since but is not taken lightly.

Form: 54-2662

Expound^p,t²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: J M Sheridan| T: D Hogan| OR: 79

9/2

Returned to winning ways at Ballinrobe (9.6f) last month and followed up over hurdles at Clonmel 27 days ago. Remains feasibly treated back on level and must enter calculations.

Form: 412-301

Facethepuckout¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: C T Keane| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 78| D

11/2

Stepped up on reappearance run when respectable third of 13 in handicap (11/1) at Listowel (6.3f, good) 10 days ago, left with too much to do. Back up in trip. Not out of things.

Form: 3050-83

Sylkie^p³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: R P Cleary| T: D Howard| OR: 73| D

33/1

33/1, 19¾ lengths seventh of 8 to Expound in handicap at Ballinrobe (9.6f, good) 33 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Yet to fire this term.

Forecasts

Bellaphina (85/40), Expound (9/2), Anvika (5/1), Nocturnal (5/1), Facethepuckout (11/2), Perfect Judgement (15/2), Sylkie (33/1)

BELLAPHINA made an encouraging return at Gowran in April and can race off the same mark here. She makes fair appeal. Anvika and Expound rate the principal dangers.
