Koybig^b³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: D E Hogan⁽⁷⁾| T: W Ross| OR: 63

12/1

Has gone a dozen races without adding to sole career success and remains a maiden on turf, though didn't run badly on AW at Dundalk last month off 1lb higher rating. Dropping down the weights and so cannot be ruled out completely.

Form: 58947-6

Enough Is Enough^h¹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 9-11| J: Gary Carroll| T: P Meany| OR: 61| D

22/1

Filly is now a 10yo, and three efforts this term have suggested her best days may be behind her. Tailed off at Gowran Park earlier this month over 1m.

Form: 001-000

(8)

A Likely Story^v²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: L F Roche| T: D K Weld| OR: 59

12/1

Showed some moderate promise last summer without getting off the mark, poor in two runs this season, including when dropped to 5f last time at Tipperary. Plenty to prove at the moment.

Form: 3337-09

(14)

Rose Anjou²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Ronan Whelan| T: T Collins| OR: 58| BF

5/2

Gone very close in both starts this season, latest being a ¾L defeat over 1m at Leopardstown. Should be winning a race soon.

Form: 7240-32

(13)

Opt Out^p⁶⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: D W O'Connor⁽⁵⁾| T: J F Levins| OR: 57| D

16/1

Had some decent form for David O'Meara in England, but has done little since joining his current yard. Would have a chance if recapturing his old form.

Form: 19-9798

(1)

Bouquet Garni^p,t¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: W J Lee| T: E J O'Grady| OR: 60

7/2

Still a maiden after 12 starts but banged on the door last time at Fairyhouse over 7f and has to hold sound claims of going one better for jockey riding with great confidence and success.

Form: 2354-02

(16)

Colombe Bleu^h¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: K P Moriarty⁽⁷⁾| T: C Kidd| OR: 51| D

33/1

Won a 7f maiden at Redcar in June 2015 on debut, hasn't been able to add to it since including in two starts last month for this trainer. Would need to see some positives before supporting.

Form: 0740-59

(3)

Knights Templar^t⁴¹

Age: 10| Weight: 9-1| J: Gary Halpin⁽³⁾| T: P J Flynn| OR: 51| D

14/1

Previous win came in September 2015 over 7f at Down Royal off a mark of 63. A long way below that rating now and enough in last month's AW reappearance at Dundalk over 6f to suggest he could play some role in this.

Form: 03208-6

(4)

You Gotta Move⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: K J Leonard⁽⁵⁾| T: M G Quinn| OR: 47

7/1

Win remains elusive and while he's run some decent races on the AW of late, it has to be taken on trust that he'll show the same level of form back on turf. Good claimer up however and worth a check in the betting.

Form: 9-78742

(9)

Tom Dooley⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: Chris Hayes| T: R O'Brien| OR: 46| D

8/1

Couple of recent AW efforts had been better before leaving John Feane, though final showing was tame over 7f last month. Market may guide on first start for this handler and first turf start since 2015.

Form: 800360

(11)

Acroleina^t³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: Sean Davis⁽⁷⁾| T: H Rogers| OR: 45

33/1

Well beaten on return from winter break last month at Dundalk on the AW, losing run dates back to September 2015 and doesn't appeal on these terms.

Form: 08938-0

(6)

Archibald Thorburn^p²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: Declan McDonogh| T: A A Howard| OR: 45| D

14/1

Hasn't won since 2013, efforts last year were mostly underwhelming, reappearance at Tipperary last month (7½f, soft) was again lacklustre and similar form over this sort of trip at Gowran Park since.

Form: 8005-68

(2)

Busy Bush^h¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Rory Cleary| T: J T Gorman| OR: 45

25/1

Filly won over 1f at Listowel this month last year off a mark of 46, she didn't run too badly at that same venue last time out but, with the hood going back on, has plenty to find on form at the moment.

Form: 5000-78

(12)

Kings Of Luxor¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁷⁾| T: R P Burns| OR: 45

33/1

Maiden hasn't threatened in three runs back off a break, including over this trip at Ayr earlier in the month when never better than mid-division. No reason to be confident on form lines.

Form: 600-090

(5)

Mosman^t,v³²

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: N G McCullagh| T: P W Flynn| OR: 45

50/1

Just six of his previous 27 starts have taken place on turf and he has never once even threatened to be in with a chance of making the frame. Readily opposable again.

Form: 5U6000

Forecasts

Rose Anjou (5/2), Bouquet Garni (7/2), You Gotta Move (7/1), Fast Kar (15/2), Tom Dooley (8/1), A Likely Story (12/1), Koybig (12/1), Knights Templar (14/1), Archibald Thorburn (14/1), Opt Out (16/1), William Ashford (16/1), Enough Is Enough (22/1), Busy Bush (25/1), Acroleina (33/1), Colombe Bleu (33/1), Kings Of Luxor (33/1), Mosman (50/1), Regal Power (150/1)

BOUQUET GARNI lost nothing in defeat last time over this trip at Fairyhouse and might be able to go one better now, with Billy Lee returning to the saddle in the midst of a rich vein of form. A strong case can also be made for Rose Anjou, who has two excellent races so far this season and looks to be inching close a first success. You Gotta Move, close second on the AW at Dundalk latest, is another with some appeal while Koybig and Opt Out might have place claims if bringing their best stuff.
