7/1

Successful at Clonmel over an extended 2m on heavy ground in February and ran well to finish runner-up at Thurles subsequently. Races off a 5lb higher mark here and likely to run well if handling the quicker ground here.

Form: 80612-D

Clounts Meadows^p³²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: Ricky Doyle⁽⁷⁾| T: M Winters| OR: 99

8/1

Victorious over 2m at Thurles (heavy) in February and not beaten far when finishing seventh over 2m5f at Tramore (yielding) last time out. Races off a mark 6lb higher than for his latest success and likely to run well again today.

Form: 003517-

Delayed Eloquence^h²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Phillip Enright| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 99

9/2

Maiden after nine outings but has run well on her last three outings including when fifth over C&D on good ground last month. Races off the same mark here and may find a few too good once more.

Form: 460455-

Form: 241866-

Oscar Buzz¹¹⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: C D Timmons⁽⁵⁾| T: E Cawley| OR: 96

9/1

Yet to win in 18 starts and well held when 11th of 19 at Navan over 2m4f on soft ground last time out. Better ground forecast here looks likely to suit.

33/1

16/1

Ran well in two maiden point-to-points but yet to place in four rules starts. Beaten 67L on heavy ground last time out and worth a check on the market for a leading stable on handicap debut.

16/1

Forecasts

Sir Jack Yeats (3/1), Delayed Eloquence (9/2), Knockraha King (7/1), Clounts Meadows (8/1), Oscar Buzz (9/1), The Trigger (11/1), Twotensandalift (14/1), Freedom Square (16/1), Lash It On (16/1), Colette's Choice (16/1), Chesapeake (16/1), Broder (20/1), Graney Town (22/1), Waste Of Time (25/1), Tunnel Creek (33/1), Big Picture (33/1), Tobar Geal (33/1), Olympic Queen (50/1)

SIR JACK YEATS represents a yard in great form at present and he can register a second hurdles success following a victory off a 5lb lower mark at Bellewstown last July. The selection hasn't been seen since finishing sixth at Downpatrick in October and can get the better of the top weight Knockraha King who was successful at Clonmel in February with Clounts Meadows taken to fill the final placing.
