Finished a close fourth at Dundalk over 1m in first time blinkers on his penultimate outing. Slowly away there subsequently he also finished well beaten on his most recent turf outing at Cork last month.

Beaten ½L over 7f at Cork (good-to-yielding) on her seasonal debut a month ago. Still seeking a first victory but likely to run well again here off a 1lb higher mark with a good draw and top jockey booked to ride here also.

Little form since winning a maiden claimer at Bellewstown last August prior to finishing third at Kilbeggan over fences last month. Disappointed since and probably best watched. with blinkers re-applied.

Beaten a short-head over 7f at Cork (good-to-yielding) last month and proved that was no fluke when not beaten far into fourth at Navan over 1m on good ground subsequently. Has disappointed on soft going in the past and has a decent draw today.

Beaten favourite when finishing fourth at Cork last month and a similar story when a well held fifth at Gowran Park subsequently. Races off the same mark here and each-way claims once again.

Beaten 12½L into third over 1m at Gowran Park (soft) last month. Races off a 1lb lower mark today and interesting to see how she fares from a moderate draw with cheekpieces fitted for the first time.

Four times a winner at Cork and ran a good race when beaten less than 2L into third over an extended 1m1f at Clonmel (good-to-firm) earlier this month. Drop in trip should suit today.

Ran well to finish fourth at a big price over an extended 7f at Tipperary (soft) on her seasonal debut last month. Races off a 1lb lower mark here and interesting if repeating that effort from a poor draw here.

Verdict

APACHE GOLD drops in trip here and can take this competitive looking handicap. The selection is best known for his exploits over sprint distances at Cork but ran well at Clonmel over further last time out and has run well on soft ground in the past. Ti Amo has been in decent form of late and can go one better than when third over 7f at Cork last time out by filling the runner-up berth here whilst Laburnum Park and Path Of Silver can fight it out for third place in this.
  1. Apache Gold
