Rebel Power^b1¹¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: K K Hennessy⁽⁵⁾| T: P Breen

100/1

Beaten out of sight in pair of AW maidens at Dundalk earlier this year, blinkers added for turf debut and dramatically down in trip, hard to fancy.

Form: 80

(10)

Abundant Courage¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Colin Keane| T: T G McCourt| OR: 56

20/1

Five-race maiden in Britain for Brian Meehan, has been a struggle in two starts for this yard so far. Drops back to minimum trip now, with improvement needed.

Form: 4839-00

(6)

Kingwilliamstown²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: K J Leonard⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss S A Finn

100/1

Hard to generate any confidence based on three runs over 7f/1m so far, drops back significantly in distance with plenty to prove.

Form: 0-60

(7)

Dime A Dance^v1³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Chris Hayes| T: K Prendergast

14/1

Filly has been well beaten in two starts either side of winter break, both over 7f. She gets a first-time visor now for this drop back in journey.

Form: 9-0

(4)

Evies Wish¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S Foley| T: J C McConnell| OR: 73

6/1

Rating of 73 ensure she's respected, unable to sustain front-running effort over 6f at Carlisle last month on debut for this trainer. Down in distance now.

Form: 4544-3

(2)

Little White Owl^b1,t1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Gary Halpin⁽³⁾| T: D Marnane

33/1

Well beaten in both starts, first over 6f (good) at Navan and then 1m (good) at Leopardstown. Drops to the minimum trip and doesn't make great appeal in this.

Form: 00

(8)

Pious Alexander^t¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P J Smullen| T: E Lynam

8/13

Turned over at odd-on in 5f Cork maiden (yielding) in April though since run commendable race in Listed company on good to firm at same track. Sure to be popular back in this sphere.

Form: 3-39

(3)

Rosa Klebb^t¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: W J Lee| T: E Lynam| OR: 58

10/1

Best effort so far came when finishing fourth at Dundalk on her second start last month. Held on handicap debut over 6f at Fairyhouse (good) last time out and more needed at the moment.

Form: 0-407

(9)

Sammyjade^p1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J A Heffernan| T: W M Roper| OR: 79

4/1

Zoffany filly has shaped with plenty promise as a 2yo, though ran a thoroughly disappointing race on reappearance at the Curragh this month (5f, yielding to soft). May have needed that outing and possibly worth forgiving.

Form: 36323-0

(5)

Sartorialle^p1⁵⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L F Roche| T: R Sweeney

100/1

Yet to beat a rival home in three starts, cheekpieces are reached for dropping down to the minimum trip but makes no appeal.

Form: 90-0

Forecasts

Pious Alexander (8/13), Sammyjade (4/1), Evies Wish (6/1), Rosa Klebb (10/1), Dime A Dance (14/1), Abundant Courage (20/1), Little White Owl (33/1), Sartorialle (100/1), Kingwilliamstown (100/1), Rebel Power (100/1)

Pious Alexander is likely to prove popular here after shaping with plenty promise in a Listed contest at Cork over this trip. That certainly puts him front and centre but he was also turned over at prohibitive odds at the same track this season so remains one to be a bit wary of. Evies Wish couldn't sustain her effort over at Carlisle tackling 6f on first start for this trainer recently but is not to be ruled out here either. SAMMYJADE gets the nod based on some smart 2yo form, she flopped on her reappearance at the Curragh but could well have need that and can atone now.
