Horse A-Z
Made favourite for only start in a point-to-point at Kilfeacle but well beaten at the finish, looking in need of a stamina test. With a top trainer but may not see the best of this one until going over further.
Has shown plenty of promise on both starts and already shown himself adaptable as far as ground goes, so won't mind any rain. Only just beaten in a driving finish at this track earlier in the month and a solid chance of going one better here.
Good first effort when third to Monkshood at Clonmel and is bred to have a bit of speed, so this test should suit. Represents a powerful yard and if building on that, ought to be capable of making an impression here.

33/1
Some useful sorts in the family (including good stayer Toby Lerone) and he showed enough on his debut run at Limerick to suggest he'll pick something up down the line, but may have a bit too much on here.
Not disgraced on his latest couple of runs but has plenty to find with Frankiefiveangels on their latest start and hard to see where the improvement to reverse that form is coming from.
6
Horse silk
16/1
Couple of decent efforts among his seven bumper starts so far, the best coming at Down Royal last August when a close up third but even the best of his form leaves him with something to find here.
Bred to make a decent chaser in time but yard not known for first time up winners and best watched on debut.

Horse silk
66/1
Done nothing in four runs to suggest she'll be taking a hand in the finish here, and others readily preferred.
Winner of two of her three point-to-points, and clearly has both ability and a good attitude to racing. Yard get the odd bumper winner but this one may need a bit further before we see the best of her.
Bred to have a bit of speed, and may find even this trio a bit of a stretch. Yard yet to have a bumper winner (from a handful of runners) and this one is best watched on debut.
No great stars in the family and yard rarely have runners in this events, so all in all, makes little appeal on debut.

16/1
Some promise on debut when eighth (although not beaten that far) on debut at Down Royal, and this slight step up in trip likely to suit. Chances of getting among the places if building on that effort.
13
Horse silk
20/1
Bred to be a staying chaser in time, and yard only have a 3% strike rate in these events, so likely to need this experience and best watched.
14
Horse silk
66/1
Didn't shown anywhere near enough on debut at Down Royal to suggest he's going to be taking a hand here.

Forecasts

Frankiefiveangels (11/8), Iolani (5/2), Mollyking (13/2), Creadan Grae (8/1), Exit West (16/1), Amarillo Rose (16/1), Thinkinginmysleep (20/1), Newtown Storm (20/1), Bringherwithya (25/1), No Boundaries (33/1), Dubai Flyer (50/1), Scorpion Scare (50/1), Hannah Huxwell (66/1), Waittillisee (66/1)

Verdict

Not many make much appeal here and FRANKIEFIVEANGELS is taken to go one better after just failing to win here earlier in the month. Iolani will find this easier after taking on a couple of classy types at Clonmel and should thrown down a challenge. Exit West and Creadan Grae are others to consider.
  1. Frankiefiveangels
  2. Iolani
  3. Exit West
