Disappointing when last of sixth in an auction race last time, she had shown promise on her two previous starts. Needs to bounce back, but certainly not out of it in an ordinary contest.

9/1
Has not been seen since December, but was in good form before her break and has a more positive profile than most of her rivals. Wide draw is not ideal.

Hardly lit up the racing scene during his juvenile campaign and looks on a high enough mark for his first venture into handicap company. Positive jockey booking, however.

C&D winner in December, he found 7f too far on his last run in January. Has had a break, reverts to 6f on a fair mark and looks to have a major chance from his low draw.

Has yet to be placed in five starts on turf and AW. Does not appeal as particularly well handicapped and the first-time blinkers will need to do the trick.

3/1
Showed little as a youngster, but shaped much better on his first start as a 3yo when racing from the front over 7f in a maiden claimer.. If the visor which worked that day does the same again, he has a good chance dropped in trip. Wide draw a negative, though.

Age: 3|  Weight: 8-8| J: Chris Hayes| T: J A Stack| OR:  58
6/1
Not much to shout about during three starts as a juvenile, she goes straight into handicap company for her first start of the new campaign. Needs first-time cheekpieces to have a positive effect.

Age: 3|  Weight: 8-6| J: L F Roche| T: P Martin| OR:  56
10/1
Unplaced in three starts, she now tries her luck in a handicap, with connections reaching for a hood and tongue time for the first time.

Age: 3|  Weight: 8-5| J: K J Leonard(5)| T: N Cassidy| OR:  55
16/1
Unplaced in nine starts on turf and AW, he is one of the less obvious contenders and is tried in blinkers for the first time.

25/1
Drops half-a-mile in trip after finishing 15th of 19 in a Leopardstown handicap. That was his fifth start and he has yet to reach the frame.

Forecasts

Buddha Boy (5/2), Brave Display (3/1), A Little Bit Me (6/1), Fox Dream (8/1), Idyllic Acrylic (9/1), Reek Sunday (10/1), Ben Gunn (14/1), Olly's Folly (16/1), Jindabyne (16/1), D K Travel (25/1)

Verdict

BUDDHA BOY has strong claims. Back to the trip over which he was last successful, he is well drawn and looks sure to make a bold bid. Brave Display is the obvious one to give him most to do, having found 7f too. far last time.
  1. Buddha Boy
  2. Brave Display
  3. Fox Dream
