Summer Family Fun Day At Fairyhouse July 23rd Handicap (45-70) (Div 1)

Off time: 18:43 | Winning time: 1m 15.80s

(1)

Brave Display^v¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Ronan Whelan| T: P J Prendergast| OR: 69| D

2/1

Has been running consistently well recently but is now 15lb higher than his opening mark just five races ago and his performance last time hinted that he could have found his ceiling in terms of handicap mark.

Form: 9-21235

Oakledge¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Billy Lee| T: W McCreery| OR: 69

14/1

Went close in a pair of maidens on his first two starts (including one he was sent off at odds-on for), but has seemed handicapped far too high so far, even 7lb relief last time over 7f (good) at Listowel didn't bring any improvement.

Form: 32005-0

(15)

Zeeyalater¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Gary Carroll| T: Ms S Lavery| OR: 67

12/1

Maiden after nine outings including when a disappointing ninth over 6f (good) here this month. Was beaten around 8L in that contest and has plenty to prove coming back out in handicap company seemingly.

Form: 0654-99

(5)

Zimyla²⁶⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Leigh Roche| T: Mrs D Foster| OR: 67

33/1

Debut run over 6f in a maiden here a year ago was his best effort (beaten 5L) as he failed to show much in three further starts on varying ground. Most disappointing at the Curragh in September when last spotted (6f, soft) and hard to support on that evidence.

Form: 7060-

(3)

Anna May Wong¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: C R King| T: A Oliver| OR: 64

9/1

Held in four starts since finishing a close fifth over 5f at Naas (good) last July. Seasonal reappearance this month over C&D saw her beaten 6L off a mark of 65. May improve for the run.

Form: 55657-8

(13)

Goodnite Irina¹¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Wayne Lordan| T: P Martin| OR: 62

12/1

Five-race maiden on the AW but she has shown some hints of ability in that sequence, makes handicap debut and first start on turf now and could be one to look out for the in the betting.

Form: 74-350

(11)

Lisadell Abi²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Killian Leonard⁽⁵⁾| T: N Lupini| OR: 59

16/1

Has shown some promise in handicaps since joining this yard, recent runs have been over 5f but this step back up in distance looks a positive move.

Form: 757-006

(17)

Rosa Klebb^t²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: O J Orr⁽⁵⁾| T: E Lynam| OR: 59

14/1

Well beaten over 6f on debut at the Curragh in August (good to firm), and similar tale over 5f at Dundalk on reappearance. Badly beaten tackling 7f at Gowran Park in a maiden in May and left with a host of questions to answer now on this handicap bow.

Form: 0-40

(14)

Cosy Club¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Shane Foley| T: A Keatley| OR: 57

11/1

There hasn't been anything in three runs this year to suggest an imminent breakthrough is coming, though does not drop back in distance markedly.

Form: 540-407

(2)

Little Miss Willow¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Rory Cleary| T: B W Duke| OR: 57| D

16/1

Winner of a handicap over 6f on her final 2yo start on the AW at Dundalk in November. Finished eighth of 16 on seasonal debut at Cork (6f, good to firm) last month but since ran a poor race over 7f here (good).

Form: 8871-80

(8)

Ai Chan^h1⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Ross Coakley⁽³⁾| T: T Kodama| OR: 54

25/1

Well beaten in three maidens but less miles on the clock than most of these at least. Needs the first-time hood and the step back in trip to improve her but certainly not one to write off now going handicapping.

Form: 60-0

(16)

Forevertwentyone^t¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Colin Keane| T: P W Flynn| OR: 52

16/1

Well beaten in three completions in maiden company since pulling up on debut last November, though made a decent stride forward when sent handicapping over 7f here 15 days ago when beaten just 2¾L in sixth of 17. May have more to offer.

Form: P0-696

(12)

Accladora^v⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: N G McCullagh| T: T G McCourt| OR: 50

33/1

Still a maiden after 11 starts, has been campaigned over different trips in three runs at Dundalk this year, before being beaten 10½L over 6f at Cork (good to firm) in May on return to turf. Best for has come on artificial surfaces.

Form: 30-0070

(6)

D K Travel^v¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Sean Davis⁽⁷⁾| T: J Feane| OR: 50| BF

7/1

Ran well in a first time visor (retained) when finishing 3¾L third in a 16 runner contest over 6f at Cork (good-to-firm) last month. Also close up over 7f here early this month and should be on the premises again in what is just a fourth start on turf.

Form: 950535

(4)

Guiding Star^p⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Chris Hayes| T: P J McKenna| OR: 48

9/1

Has been attempting to exploit basement rating in Britain of late and though running well enough recently at Ayr (6f, soft) and Carlisle (6f, good) hasn't always tended to find as much as seemed likely. Cannot be ruled out.

Form: 090833

(7)

Annie Apple^b1³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁷⁾| T: D Broad| OR: 47

16/1

Seven-race maiden who sole previous turf run brought a 7L defeat off a mark of 48 last month. Has plenty more to find from somewhere on form.

Form: 767370

Forecasts

Brave Display (2/1), D K Travel (7/1), Guiding Star (9/1), Anna May Wong (9/1), Cosy Club (11/1), Goodnite Irina (12/1), Zeeyalater (12/1), Rosa Klebb (14/1), Oakledge (14/1), Daisy's Flyer (14/1), Little Miss Willow (16/1), Lisadell Abi (16/1), Forevertwentyone (16/1), Annie Apple (16/1), Ai Chan (25/1), Accladora (33/1), Zimyla (33/1)

D K Travel has been running well this term including over a longer trip here last time out, further improvement could be forthcoming from him on just a fourth career start on turf and he should be in the finish. Guiding Star travels strongly but has been guilty of not finding enough for pressure recently when racing in Britain whilst the consistent Brave Display just appears to be handicapped out of things at the current time. Goodnite Irina is worth a market check ahead of her handicap bow whilst Daisy's Flyer could go well if the ground isn't overly firm but the vote goes to FOREVERTWENTYONE who posted an improved showing over 7f here on handicap debut last time out when beaten just over 2L and has scope to build on that now.
