Showed first decent form for a while when a never-nearer fifth of 13 over C&D last time. A pound lower here, she has each-way claims.

Has been out of form and little encouragement to be derived from his 13th of 18 at Cork last weekend. Best ignored until showing a resurgence.

At the veteran stage, but showed plenty of spark to run an improving sort close a fortnight ago. Should get involved again if in the same mood.

Unplaced in six starts on the level and, while this is not the strongest of races, he needs to show more before he can enter calculations. Tongue tied for the first time.

Connections reach for cheekpieces for the first time as they attempt to rekindle the form which saw her finish first at Chelmsford in February only to be disqualified and placed second. One of the more appealing types.

Fifth of 11 on her first start for her top yard at Tipperary 10 days ago. LIkely to improve for that first start in six months, she is an interesting contender.

One of the more consistent types in the race, he has been placed on his last three starts, efforts which put him in the mix here.

On a long losing streak, he has shown little since joining his current stable. Dropping down the weights, he needs to regain his form in order to cash in.

Ran his best race for some time when third at this track over a furlong shorter last month. This trip might be stretching his stamina.

Unplaced in three Dundalk maidens last year, she tries her hand in handicap company and is an interesting contender. On what she has shown, she may struggle, but her shrewd stable may have other ideas.

Good efforts on his last two starts, particularly when third of 20 at Leopardstown earlier this month. Entitled to plenty of respect on that display and handles this surface.

No placings in eight AW starts, she has been regressive on turf and boasts little recent form with which to advance her claims.

Three unplaced runs in maidens at this track and now goes handicapping. Little chance on those efforts, but gets in off a low mark and any market support might be significant.

Glimpses of form on last few outings but nothing to make him an obvious fancy if taking part.

Forecasts

Queluz (7/2), Usa (4/1), Our Max (5/1), Tom Dooley (7/1), Lady J (9/1), Mr Bernard (10/1), Dandy Rock (12/1), All About Grace (12/1), World's Greatest (16/1), Fast Kar (16/1), Illusive Force (16/1), Born On The Clyde (20/1), Indian Tomahawk (20/1), Randall's Alannah (33/1), Art Scene (33/1), Eadaoins Pet (50/1), Mr Soprano (50/1)

Verdict

LADY J showed enough on her debut for her leading yard to suggest a small race such as this is within her compass. Queluz is consistent and worth considiering, while Our Max is another with sound claims.
  1. Lady J
  2. Our Max
  3. Queluz
