Geological¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: D W O'Connor⁽⁵⁾| T: D English| OR: 79

7/2

One win and some decent efforts here this winter for versatile sort, drop to 5f latest possibly not in his favour and now goes back to 6f.

Split The Atom¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: O J Orr⁽⁵⁾| T: D Marnane| OR: 79

3/1

Not in the most promising position turning in over 7f here this month, staying on strong to land second. Every chance again if obtaining better starting point for a late run.

Master Bond^h,t³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: C J McGovern⁽⁵⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 74

50/1

Last of 14 by some distance in the race won by Geological here 35 days ago, plenty questions to answer right now.

Form: 60-8732

Mai O'higgins⁷⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: P J Smullen| T: T Collins| OR: 73

7/1

Won well here on third start last time out and the third from that race has come out and won again since. Possible she will improve from that and makes plenty appeal here on handicap bow with good jockey booking.

Bainne^h¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Ronan Whelan| T: J F Levins| OR: 72

33/1

Now a 15-race maiden on this surface and appears much less comfortable on AW compared to turf form.

Ellaria¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 68

7/2

Generally being going well in maidens around here, an interesting contender for connections on handicap bow and worth a check in the market.

Lily's Prince^p¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: K J Manning| T: G Donnelly| OR: 68

6/1

Winner here in minor event last month, credible third off this mark since behind in-form Cocoa Beach. Should give another good account.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: N G McCullagh| T: A B Joyce| OR: 67

20/1

Seventh of 14 in a 7f handicap here latest, having to come from off the pace. Could do better in time.

Mo Henry^v³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁷⁾| T: A Keatley| OR: 67

8/1

Two recent runs here have been excellent, C&D winner in October and just failing in December. Mark high enough now but sure to give it a go.

Jan Steen^h⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Anastasia O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: J F Levins| OR: 65

Well held here on stable debut early last month and others make more obvious appeal for this.

Form: 0-00009

Bahamian Sunshine^b1⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Shane Kelly⁽³⁾| T: L Smyth| OR: 59

Beaten a long way on stable bow last month over 7f, blinkers go on now but has plenty improvement to find.

Your Pal Tal^h⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-8| J: Wayne Lordan| T: J F Levins| OR: 57

16/1

Recent record around here has been very poor and last week's comeback run continued in that vain.

Form: 417500

Dnaneer^h⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: Rory Cleary| T: P J F Murphy| OR: 52

25/1

Fair effort on comeback over 7f last week, drop back in trip here should assist but likely to need some assistance from handicapper before winning.

Forecasts

Split The Atom (3/1), Ellaria (7/2), Geological (7/2), Lily's Prince (6/1), Mai O'higgins (7/1), Mo Henry (8/1), Only Spoofing (12/1), Your Pal Tal (16/1), Eleuthera (16/1), Ken's Sam's (20/1), Dnaneer (25/1), Bahamian Sunshine (33/1), Bainne (33/1), Master Bond (50/1), Jan Steen (50/1)

Split The Atom continues to flourish around here and after staying on well latest to finish second, he can get involved in the shake up again. Mo Henry has excelled in two visits here and can do so again despite a rising mark but preference is for MAI O'HIGGINS. A maiden winner here in November, she's got scope to improve and has able assistance in the saddle for this handicap bow. Ellaria is also noted on handicap bow while the consistent Lily's Prince should be thereabouts again. 1. Mai O'higgins 2. Mo Henry 3. Split The Atom
