Signs of ability on turf last year and off the mark on the AW in a maiden claimer at Dundalk last month. Two solid runs on turf since then including over 7f at Naas a month ago and likely to run well in a first time visor here.

Maiden after 14 outings including a 6L sixth in a maiden claimer at Dundalk last month. Handicap mark is falling but others make more appeal in this contest.

Registered a double at Dundalk over 7f and 1m earlier this year. Shaped as if in need of further when fifth at Leopardstown over 7f on her only subsequent start and interesting to see how she fares in this race.

Hailstone (10/3), Loose Chippings (9/2), Lady Rosebud (7/1), Cleona (7/1), Richard Strauss (10/1), Little Clarinet (10/1), Magnification (14/1), Milish (16/1), Main Pulse (16/1), Sixtysix (16/1), Fascinating Lady (20/1), Fox Dream (20/1), Dinky Inty (25/1), Cascar Cavcha (40/1)

Verdict

LOOSE CHIPPINGS finished fourth on his handicap debut over this distance at Leopardstown on her handicap and turf debut earlier this month. The selection hails from Johnny Murtagh's yard and they have a 17% strike-rate recently (2/12) and he can get the better of Hailstone who has plenty of experience and has run well in handicap company the last twice while Lady Rosebud who was seeking a hat-trick when finishing behind the selection last time out is another to note in this.
  1. Loose Chippings
  2. Hailstone
  3. Lady Rosebud
