Prove The Point^h,t⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Gary Carroll| T: M Mulvany| OR: 72

4/1

Filly looked better than ever on return to action at Leopardstown when beating off 19 rivals to score over the mile. Upped 4lb and drops in trip, there could be more to come.

Form: 06-1305

(5)

Not A Whisper^h⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: P J Smullen| T: A A Howard| OR: 70

15/8

Didn't enjoy much luck in the run behind Prove The Point last time, was conceding weight then but gets 2lb now, should have a big say with even luck.

Form: 1658-61

(8)

Best Not Argue⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: M K O'Sullivan⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J J Murphy| OR: 69

16/1

Has two win from ten starts on turf but isn't the most reliable performer and was easily swatted aside on reappearance nine days ago at Cork over longer trip on heavy ground.

Form: 8190-05

Burren View Lady^t³^{(ex 5)}

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: J A Heffernan| T: D Hogan| OR: 56

8/1

Scored an eighth AW success at Lingfield this month, tends to fare better on the artificial surfaces but entitled to have her say in this contest.

Form: 06U193

Jackie Ellis^t²⁶⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: W J Lee| T: P W Flynn| OR: 56

9/1

Just one turf win in 35 attempts and that came in 2015, returns from an eight-month absence in this contest and may be best watched though did go close over this trip at Roscommon on penultimate start off 2lb higher mark.

Form: 5620-25

Not A Bad Oul Day^p1⁹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: K J Manning| T: J Feane| OR: 54

5/1

Ran well over this trip at Gowran Park in October when last out over turf, since toiled in two AW starts but is off a potentially dangerous mark in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 628-061

(3)

Chicago Fire¹⁰⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A Leahy| OR: 51

8/1

Remains a maiden after seven starts, has gone close off this mark over this trip on the AW at Dundalk, first run now since December.

Form: 680634

Dressednblack²³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: Chris Hayes| T: T Doyle| OR: 45

33/1

Yet to hit the frame in six starts, been off some seven months and tackling a trip this short for the first time - others make much more appeal.

Form: 55760-4

(7)

Rigid Rock^b⁴⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 8-4| J: K J Leonard⁽⁵⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 45

16/1

Won over C&D in August off this mark, anything but consistent but ran well enough over this trip at Dundalk on the AW in February.

Forecasts

Not A Whisper (15/8), Prove The Point (4/1), Not A Bad Oul Day (5/1), Chicago Fire (8/1), Burren View Lady (8/1), Jackie Ellis (9/1), Kanade (10/1), Best Not Argue (16/1), Rigid Rock (16/1), Keep Believing (25/1), Dressednblack (33/1)

Prove The Point was in fine fettle last time out at Leopardstown to score and she should run well again despite going up 4lb for a narrow success. She finished ahead of NOT A WHISPER in that contest but that rival enjoyed very few breaks in the run and can atone for it now on much better terms if gaining a trouble-free passage. Not A Bad Oul Day is potentially well treated if rediscovering his best for the return to turf while Burren View Lady is also on the shortlist having scored at Southwell last time out.
