20/1

16/1, last of 7 in handicap at Leopardstown (7f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Would be a danger to all if reproducing the form of his reappearance second at Naas in March.

Form: 6-20867

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Luke McAteer| T: D Marnane| OR: 80

11/4

Fourth of 7 in handicap (15/2) at Leopardstown (7f, good to firm) 18 days ago, not ideally placed. Stable having good spell.

Form: 0221-24

Gloriously Glam^p⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: Keithen Kennedy⁽⁵⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 79

66/1

25/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, soft) 8 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and she needs to get back on track.

Form: 7-50209

(6)

Honeysuckle Rose⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 79| D

9/2

Lightly-raced winner. 13/2, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Gowran (7f, good to soft) 43 days ag, but will need to take a step forward if she's to take this.

Form: 81-43

(16)

It'sneverjustone²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Declan McDonogh| T: D Loughnane| OR: 77| D

12/1

Career best when winning 12-runner handicap (15/2) at Ffos Las (7.4f, soft) 29 days ago, readily. 7 lb rise fair enough and he's high on the shortlist.

Form: 43-2751

(12)

Ze Do Asfalto¹⁰⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Robert Whearty⁽³⁾| T: A Murray| OR: 76

80/1

3/1, fifth of 7 in maiden at Dundalk (6f), reportedly bled. Off 108 days ahead of this handicap debut and others boast most appealing claims.

Form: 42-2245

(15)

Nyman^p,t²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: A S Grant⁽¹⁰⁾| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 75| D

11/1

12/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, very good second of 16 in handicap at Gowran (8f, good) 2 days ago. Will be a threat if turned out again quickly (and assuming this doesn't come too soon).

Form: 15-4302

(18)

Sun Soldier^p¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Gary Carroll| T: A Oliver| OR: 75

25/1

Form: 233

(7)

Green Icon^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: J M Sheridan| T: D Hogan| OR: 74| D

22/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap (25/1) at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 14 days ago, well positioned. Can make presence felt.

Form: 0-50704

(2)

Highbury See See⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Sam Coen⁽⁷⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 74| D

4/1

Lightly-raced winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Career best when winning 11-runner handicap (7/2) at Gowran (7f, good to soft) 43 days ago, plenty in hand. Up 9 lb but he's a big player all the same.

Form: 65-741

(14)

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Adam Caffrey| T: A McGuinness| OR: 74| D

28/1

20/1, last of 8 in minor event at Leopardstown (8f, good to firm) 39 days ago. Probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 9-30628

12/1

Oiche Rua¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ronan Whelan| T: A McGuinness| OR: 71

7/1

Forecasts

Aviatrice (11/4), Highbury See See (4/1), Honeysuckle Rose (9/2), Spanish Temptress (11/2), Oiche Rua (7/1), Night Magic (10/1), Nyman (11/1), Mother Mara (11/1), It'sneverjustone (12/1), Fiona Maccoul (12/1), Bishopton (12/1), Wizard Of Odds (20/1), Green Icon (22/1), Sun Soldier (25/1), Sir Jeremy (28/1), Gangsta Man (33/1), Gloriously Glam (66/1), Ze Do Asfalto (80/1)

Having scored with plenty in hand on his second run in handicap company at Gowran, HIGHBURY SEE SEE makes plenty of appeal. Indeed, with just five starts under his belt he probably has more to offer and a 9 lb rise is unlikely to be enough stop him in his tracks. Wizard of Odds has dipped to an attractive mark and is taken to emerge as the main danger, with handicap debutant Sun Soldier another to consider. British raider It'sneverjustone is also shortlisted.
