Handicapper appeared to have taken his measure when tiring late on last time having won on his previous start. 7lb allowance of amateur rider may help, but may be weighted to the hilt.

Two wins at this track (including over C&D) and also ran well in handicap hurdle here. Clearly likes the course and has to be considered after solid recent effort at Kilbeggan.

8/1
Three fair runs in A/W Flat races this spring either side of a respectable effort in a hot handicap chase at the Punchestown Festival. This is easier, so has to enter calculations.

11/4
Won with plenty in hand over C&D 27 days ago. Raised 7lb and now has services of top jockey. Looks like connections mean business.

9lb better off with Hello Sweetei for a 24 length beating last time out, so has something to find if he is going to turn the tables. Much more needed.

Comfortable win over C&D last time out on only second start for new stable. There could be more to come and should be there or thereabouts once again despite 8lb higher mark.

Won Sligo handicap hurdle last July but has given impression that is not the same force over larger obstacles. May need more help from the handicapper before getting involved.

Two good efforts so far this month in similar contests placing at both Ballinrobe and Tipperary. Raised 2lb and needs to eke out a little more improvement.

Returns after a 102-day break and on balance of form needs to do better than his efforts prior to his holiday. On a long three-year losing streak.

Forecasts

Hello Sweetie (11/4), Rocky Court (4/1), Afatcat (4/1), Lucky Pat (8/1), Usa (8/1), Bashful Beauty (9/1), Cillian's Return (12/1), Killer Crow (16/1), Bendanella (20/1), Pumbaa (25/1)

Verdict

This race appears to revolve around HELLO SWEETIE. If the mare is in the same kind of form as her win over C&D nearly four weeks ago she should take some stopping despite her new mark. Rocky Court deserves respect on his recent win at this track and should make a good race of it, while Bashful Beauty invariably runs well here and cannot be ruled out of calculations. Afatcat and Usa are also likely to play their respective parts.
  1. Hello Sweetie
  2. Bashful Beauty
  3. Rocky Court
