7/2
Two wins from three starts now after keeping on gamely at Killarney to win last time out. Handicapper not taken any risks but there should be more to come.

9/1
Two-time winner but very hit and miss sort and more exposed than the rest in here. Has been known to ruin her chance from the stalls, as she did last time at Gowran Park, so not one to have a lot of faith in.

7/2
Very consistent sort who improved to win her first start this year. Not beaten far here last time and drop back in trip is probably in her favour. Should go well.

8/1
Won a C&D maiden here when last seen but form of that race not the strongest on offer. Handicap mark not unfair though and likely to carry on progressing this season.

20/1
Firm ground winner in France but won't get those conditions here and she's disappointed on two subsequent starts. Likely to do better for this yard at some point but handicap mark looks a little stiff.

9/2
Didn't need to improve to win a maiden at Dundalk but dealt a lenient mark and nearly capitalised at Killarney last time. Up 2lb and more to come.

5/1
Improved to score on her third start and given a nice mark for her handicap debut. Should go well and proven with cut in the ground.

Little Clarinet15
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-8| J: Chris Hayes| T: D Marnane| OR:  77
9/1
Won on her second start at Navan and shaped like she was in need of a step up in trip at the Curragh last time when a promising third of 14 and 2lb out of the handicap. Should continue to progress with more emphasis on stamina.

Forecasts

Lady Derrynane (7/2), Bumbasina (7/2), Magen's Moon (9/2), Constant Comment (5/1), Mujaazy (8/1), Little Clarinet (9/1), Elusive Beauty (9/1), Groundfrost (20/1)

Verdict

LADY DERRYNANE should enjoy the step back in trip and represents are yard in fine form. Magen's Moon and Little Clarinet both look feasibly handicapped and can give the selection plenty to think about.
  1. Lady Derrynane
  2. Magen's Moon
  3. Little Clarinet
