Winner on the AW at Dundalk earlier in the year, since gone well in two of three turfs runs over this sort of trip and possibly best to draw a line through previous run at Cork. Can get back on track in this.

Lightly-raced filly won a C&D maiden last month, has found things tougher in handicaps since though mark is easing now and there could still be more to come from her.

Running well in maidens this season without getting off the mark, should be capable of having a say off opening handicap mark now and trainer remains in good form.

Sent off favourite or second favourite on his last five outings and unable to justify the odds to date. Best form so far is on the AW, with two turf runs coming up some way short. Up in trip with tongue strap on first time, has to be respected despite frustrating past.

Twice gone close over the mile in handicaps this month already, including off this mark at Leopardstown ten days ago. Upped in trip and must rank as a leading contender.

Couple of lengths behind Nimitz when last spotted at Navan early in the month, gets a 3lb pull at the weights with that rival (who has run well again since) and entitled to be in the mix.

Very poor on handicap debut over 1m2f at Leopardstown this month when tailed off last of ten. Should be capable of better in first-time visor but has plenty work to do.

Forecasts

Nimitz (11/4), Remember The Days (7/2), Modern Approach (4/1), Diarist (6/1), Lady Clinch (6/1), Noble Intention (8/1), Make It Hurrah (10/1), Thomas O'Malley (11/1), Reimagine (20/1)

Verdict

Lady Clinch showed much improved form on first start for this yard at Navan early in the month and has to be considered here on that evidence but she was behind NIMITZ then and, despite a pull at the weights, may well be again. The selection has since run well again at Leopardstown off this mark and would not be winning out of turn at this point. Remember The Days is forgiven a recent Cork flop and should get back on track while Thomas O'malley and Noble Intention, runner up at Leopardstown during the week, are others worth considering.
  1. Nimitz
  2. Lady Clinch
  3. Remember The Days
