Gowran Park Golf Club Handicap (45-65)

Off time: 14:37 | Winning time: 2m 15.95s

(1)

Boom Or Bush^p1,t1⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: P J Smullen| T: H Rogers| OR: 62

6/1

Improved on heavy ground at Cork last time. More required in a tougher looking race but may be sharpened up by the fitting of cheekpieces and a tongue tie. A betting move may be interesting.

Form: 06368-3

(7)

Masterstonemason²²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Karen Kenny⁽⁷⁾| T: F Costello| OR: 61

33/1

Failed to progress as a juvenile after showing initial promise. May be the type to do better when fresh but yard are 0-104 on Flat over past five seasons with just six making the frame.

Form: 5570-

(4)

Grey Waters^b¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: D O'Brien| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 60

5/1

Blinkers made a difference last time when producing a career best. Down in trip and encountering slower ground for the first time. Yard are going well.

Form: 500-062

(2)

Endless Endeavour¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: N G McCullagh| T: J J Murphy| OR: 58

33/1

Detached in all four starts including handicap debut two weeks ago. Hard to fancy with yard yet to fire.

Form: 000-0

(5)

Alfred Wegener¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: C P McNamara⁽¹⁰⁾| T: E McNamara| OR: 55

33/1

Well beaten in two starts as a juvenile and last of nine on return to action two weeks ago. Makes handicap debut and has plenty to prove.

Form: 66-9

(9)

Dignified Air¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: T P Madden⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Murphy| OR: 55

33/1

Never finished better than eighth in four maidens so far - hardly inspiring reading and difficult to see a transformation being on the cards now he goes handicapping.

Form: 0-989

(3)

Landline³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ronan Whelan| T: T Cleary| OR: 55

14/1

Maiden after eight starts including over 6f last time out. Best handicap effort came over 1m on his penultimate start and takes another drop in the weights.

Form: 697-660

(8)

Less Of That¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D M Simmonson⁽⁷⁾| T: J Feane| OR: 55

3/1

Has improved for tackling longer trips. Raised 6lb for her latest effort and hard to believe she had made that much progress. Stable have been going well and if she handles the ground she could be thereabouts in a race that is less competitive than the numbers suggest.

Form: 090-42

(13)

Cascar Cavcha^b,t1³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Sean Davis⁽⁷⁾| T: H Rogers| OR: 53

16/1

Improved effort on return and should improve for the longer trip. Dam liked soft ground so further improvement is possible.

Form: 55068-6

(15)

Yarraman³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Billy Lee| T: P J Flynn| OR: 50

25/1

€38,000 purchase who may be of more interest now handicapping. Has shown little so far but warrants a check in pre-race trading.

Form: 00-0

(14)

Les Arceaux¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Colin Keane| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 49

7/1

Has 6L to find with Less Of That on running last time and is 6lb better off at the weights. Should be thereabouts.

Form: 909-54

(12)

Ostaiocht⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Rory Cleary| T: B W Duke| OR: 49

20/1

Peaked with a third at Limerick last term but has been well below that form on both starts since.

Form: 06030-8

(6)

A Beautiful Dream²²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 47

10/1

Not shown much so far but takes a significant step up in trip on seasonal bow. Has dropped 13lb since last run and yard in outstanding form with this age group.

Form: 0780-

(17)

Jack Baur^b³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Chris Hayes| T: T Doyle| OR: 45

16/1

Failed to trouble the judge in four starts at two but shaped better on second run since being gelded when eighth at Limerick last time out. More needed here however.

Form: 0590-08

Level Of Intensity^t⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Reserve 1| T: J S Bolger| OR: 60

6/1

Improved effort last time and has little more to find here if getting into the race. Declared as first reserve.

Form: 05-055

Marvellous Ways³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Wayne Lordan| T: W McCreery| OR: 53

16/1

Beaten 6½L when making her handicap debut over an extended 1m3f at Limerick (good-to-firm) last month. Interesting runner for a yard who have made a good start to the season. Declared as second reserve.

Form: 708-6

Forecasts

Less Of That (3/1), Grey Waters (5/1), Boom Or Bush (6/1), Level Of Intensity (6/1), Claregate Street (6/1), Les Arceaux (7/1), A Beautiful Dream (10/1), Landline (14/1), All The Mollies (14/1), Marvellous Ways (16/1), Cascar Cavcha (16/1), Jack Baur (16/1), Ease The Jets (16/1), Ostaiocht (20/1), Yarraman (25/1), Alfred Wegener (33/1), Dignified Air (33/1), Masterstonemason (33/1), Endless Endeavour (33/1), John Honeyman (66/1)

This is not a race that has much collateral form and the market will be informative. Yarraman is interesting on his handicap debut and new headgear makes the topweight Boom Or Bush another to note. His stable companion Cascar Cavcha will improve for the softer underfoot conditions. Less Of That has shaped well on both starts this term but the handicapper appears to have been too harsh on her. GREY WATERS showed improvement for the fitting of blinkers last time. The handicapper has not overreacted and a reproduction of that effort may be good enough.
