Super Fly²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: G M Ryan| T: A McCann| OR: 58

40/1

Little impact in bumpers or maidens around 7f/1m on the Flat. Could have more to offer up in trip on handicap debut.

Form: 859

(9)

Daymer Bay^p²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: D P McDonogh| T: Ciaran Murphy| OR: 56

33/1

Remains a maiden and fared no better than on return when 40/1, ninth of 14 in handicap at Down Royal (7f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Back up in trip with cheekpieces back on and could prove more competitive in this lesser company.

Form: 4699-09

(8)

Tartaraghan²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: S Coen⁽⁷⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 56

28/1

Remains a maiden after 23 Flat runs. Thirteenth of 14 in claimer at Tipperary (9f, good to soft, 20/1) 23 days ago. Form has been in and out of late. Others preferred.

Form: 820-070

Barretstown^p¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: C G O'Dwyer⁽⁵⁾| T: C O'Dwyer| OR: 55

25/1

Dual winner last year but below form in two start this year, latest tenth of 18 in handicap at Fairyhouse (10f, good, 12/1) 13 days ago. Could fare better with cheekpieces back on in lesser company.

Form: 214-700

(4)

Star Mind²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: M W Hassett⁽⁵⁾| T: Gerard O'Leary| OR: 55

4/1

Hasn't bettered modest form for this yard, latest below form tenth of 18 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6.1f, good, 22/1) 21 days ago, slowly away. Significantly back up in trip and worth a market check with yard going well.

Form: 00-8400

(7)

Tomahawk King¹⁸¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: R Whearty⁽³⁾| T: Thomas Coyle| OR: 55

16/1

Seventeen runs since last win in 2022 but two creditable efforts for this yard prior to disappointing twelfth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (12). Could be competitive if ready to roll on return but isn't one to have maximum faith in.

Form: 700430-

(13)

Higher Kingdom^t⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: Adam Caffrey| T: A McGuinness| OR: 52

12/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2024 but has performed with credit in this grade in recent months. Ran poorly when 7/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (soft) 7 days ago but chance if bouncing back.

Form: 333939

(1)

Hale Bopp²¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: J A Heffernan| T: R Donohoe| OR: 49

20/1

Nineteen runs since last win in 2023 and seemed to be going through the motions when below form eighth of 14 in handicap (16/1) at Dundalk (8f) last November. Needs a revival following a 7-month break.

Form: 682008-

(14)

Our Lucky Lady¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Jessica O'Gorman⁽⁷⁾| T: P G Fahey| OR: 48

10/1

Only modest form to date and ran to a similar level on turf debut when 25/1, creditable seventh of 18 in handicap at Fairyhouse (10f, good) 13 days ago. Must improve.

Form: 90-787

(12)

Noble Andy^b¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: R P Whelan| T: M Fahey| OR: 47

6/1

Second in a 0-65 last season and best effort of this campaign when respectable fifth of 18 in handicap at Fairyhouse (10f, good) 13 days ago. Blinkers back on and sound claims if returning to the form of last year.

Form: 582-965

(5)

Sayfa Fad^b⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: N M Crosse| T: J Geoghegan| OR: 47

14/1

Back on track in blinkers when runner-up over C&D in April and wasn't seen to best effect at Gowran (8f) 43 days ago, never involved from off the pace. Makes appeal on previous C&D form.

Form: 800-020

(6)

Crypto Crash¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: L T McAteer| T: D Marnane| OR: 44

10/1

Lightly-raced and ran better than on reappearance when 25/1 sixth of 14 in handicap at Leopardstown (12f, good) last month but poor run at Navan over 13f the following month. Bit to prove down significantly in trip.

Form: 062-060

(15)

Elvetham¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: C D Hayes| T: D K Weld| OR: 54

8/1

Would have a chance on his Navan form from earlier this season but disappointed with tongue strap on for first time when eleventh of 15 in handicap at Gowran (9.4f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Claims if back on song.

Form: 86-4760

(11)

So Messi^t⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: J J G Ryan⁽³⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 41

9/2

Remains a maiden but has performed creditably over this C&D and turned in his best effort of this season when creditable fourth of 15 in handicap at Gowran (8f, good to soft) 4 days ago. Should go well.

Form: 060-674

(10)

Eagles Whistle^t¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: J A Powell⁽³⁾| T: P J F Murphy| OR: 40

7/1

Not beaten far when 10/1, creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at Listowel (7f, good) 18 days ago, slowly away. Back up in trip but will needs to improve on what's she shown to date.

Form: 080055

(3)

Goddaughter¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: R P Cleary| T: T G McCourt| OR: 44

100/1

Again well beaten at long odds when twelfth of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (6.3f, good, 66/1) 15 days ago. Significantly up in trip and has plenty to find.

Form: 0000-0

Forecasts

Star Mind (4/1), So Messi (9/2), Noble Andy (6/1), Eagles Whistle (7/1), Fleetfootsoldier (7/1), Elvetham (8/1), Crypto Crash (10/1), Our Lucky Lady (10/1), Higher Kingdom (12/1), Sayfa Fad (14/1), Tomahawk King (16/1), Hale Bopp (20/1), Barretstown (25/1), Tartaraghan (28/1), Daymer Bay (33/1), Super Fly (40/1), Goddaughter (100/1)

NOBLE ANDY would have solid claims on the best of his form from last season and having shaped creditably in a competitive handicap at Fairyhouse earlier this month, he may be able to get off the mark with blinkers refitted. So Messi arrives on the back of a better effort and has performed well over C&D, as has Sayfa Fad who was runner-up here on penultimate start. Of the rest, Fleetfootsoldier has shown glimpses of promise for John McConnell but will need some luck from the widest stall.
