Off time: 16:15 | Winning time: 4m 12.1s

Dawn In The Park⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: J J Slevin⁽⁵⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 109| D

7/1

Improved to win a maiden hurdle at Clonmel last time out, so clearly going in the right direction, but she may find that having to give the weight away may prove too difficult. Others preferred.

Form: 7-65241

Whats The Plot¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Donagh Meyler⁽³⁾| T: A L T Moore| OR: 106| D

5/2

Another that improved to land a handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe last time out, his first win over hurdles. Slight step up in trip here but handles good ground fine, and wouldn't be out of this.

Form: 7060-41

Palmabad^t1⁹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Brian Hayes| T: J Queally| OR: 105

10/1

Has run to a similar level on his last three starts but isn't really improving at present and connections now go for a tongue-tie. That needs to have some effect, as does this quicker ground.

Form: 9F0696-

Andratx⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: A Ring⁽³⁾| T: M M McNiff| OR: 110| C| D

4/1

Much improved and already a winner here in March over slightly further, so won;t fail for a lack of stamina. Win last time out looks all the better after the runner up (and fourth) won next time out and he looks a major player again here.

Form: 7091-1

Leomar^b¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: C Brassil⁽⁵⁾| T: G Elliott| OR: 110

6/1

Not running badly at present and the placed efforts are racking up, but addition of blinkers seemed to make little difference last time and it may be he's becoming hard to win with. Chance on the figures, but others preferred for the win.

Form: 242-433

Shaluna⁶⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Rachael Blackmore⁽³⁾| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 101

20/1

She was found a weak race to win at Towcester last time out (favourite well below par) but did it well enough. Acts on quick ground and should stay the trip, but that form needs improving on if she's to follow up.

Form: F1/65P1-

Banker Burke^t²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: C D Maxwell| T: J Larkin| OR: 90

33/1

Only the one win in 36 starts rather tells it's own story, and he's likely to find himself biting off more than he can chew here.

Form: 0366-35

Theturnofthesun^p,t¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: A E Lynch| T: M J Smith| OR: 98| C

6/1

Looked a horse to follow when winning with a bit in hand here in May but didn't build on that at Ballinrobe next time out. Stays this trip and looks to need good ground, so has his plus points, but does need to bounce back now.

Form: 53/43-19

Theydon Park^b¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: B T O'Connell| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 107

13/2

Open to improvement as he's only four, but questionable whether he's progressing at present and doesn't seem to be doing any better for the application of blinkers on his last two starts. Drop back in trip here may help but a few questions to answer at present.

Form: 4354-52

Forecasts

Whats The Plot (5/2), Andratx (4/1), Leomar (6/1), Theturnofthesun (6/1), Theydon Park (13/2), Dawn In The Park (7/1), Palmabad (10/1), Shaluna (20/1), Banker Burke (33/1)

The progressive one here is ANDRATX who has won his last two with a bit in hand and can get the hat-trick today. Already proven on the track and has that bit of stamina that should see him in good stead here. What's The Plot is in good form but has ground to make up on the selection and may have to settle for the places. Leomar finds winning hard but is at least consistent and can once again take some prizemoney home.
