Maiden winner on the Flat for Kevin Prendergast, showing only limited ability. last seen in a Punchestown maiden hurdle over 2m1f when 21st of 25.
Didn't get the clearest passage over a mile at Dundalk in May, finishing close enough in fifth, before another fifth position in a 21-runner handicap at Cuuragh, in the same month.
Hit and miss performer and not disgraced off his revised mark at the Curragh last month (7f, good) in an apprentice contest. Since made less impact over 1m at Leopardstown and 7f at Fairyhouse. Best watched.
In good form at Dundalk towards the end of 2016 but handicapper appears to have his measure judged on recent efforts, could still be a little high following 22L defeat last time out here last month.
Fourth of 10 on seasonal debut in a Dundalk classified stakes, but, it must be said, beaten only ½L behind Rivellino.
Dylan Thomas filly has shaped nicely in three AW maidens and progressed to finish second of 11, here at the end of last month over 1m on good ground.
First start for yard following a move from France where well beaten on all four starts. Interesting but best watched.
Revelled in the rain-soaked conditions to win an apprentices handicap here inlast month, but was hit with a 10lb hike and subsequently well beaten at Roscommon and Tipperary.
0/18 and no impression and well beaten on three starts for current yard at Dundalk. Once rated as high as 84 for John Joseph Murphy, now on career low mark.
Well beaten off in three maidens for last but one previous yard and beaten 20L and 28L on starts for last stable, racing close to the pace before weakening over 1m and 1m1f trips. Fourth run, third yard.
Broke her maiden at the 14th time of asking over an extended 1m1f at Clonmel (good-to-firm) last month. Subsequently beaten 3L off this 5lb higher mark in a 16 runner contest at Fairyhouse, before third of nine over 1m2½f in a Down Royal handicap.
A three time Flat winner on turf at upto 1m. Off since October 2016, before returning and beaten 49L in a Down Royal maiden hurdle.
Most recent success came over 7f at Laytown in September, five runs this year have been poor, beaten a toatl of 70¼L.
Denied just ¾L behind Avalanche at Cork last month on just fifth turf start having gone off a 33/1 chance, before an encouraging third of seven, beaten 1L behind Hamley, who won at Curragh on Sunday.
Beaten 6½L over C&D in April on reappearance, has since gone well over a shorter trip at Cork, before bombing in a Limerick handicap on good ground, beaten 27L.
Forecasts
Seaforth (11/2), Tamara Love (6/1), Mystery Gal (7/1), Nivvo (7/1), Hasselnott (8/1), Mountain Fox (9/1), Annie Irish (9/1), Carrigeen Prince (11/1), Complicit (11/1), Punches Pious (16/1), Grand Voile (20/1), Mel Biechif Diane (25/1), Emperor Bob (25/1), Kates Doll (33/1), Colonel Maximus (40/1)
Could well be a mixed pace battle here with, possibly, Nivvo, Mystery Gal and Complicit making it, with Mountain Box and Emperor Bob up there in the early stages. Both Mystery Gal, third of nine over 1m2½f in a Down Royal handicap, last time out and Nivvo, second of 11, here at the end of last month over 1m on good ground, can battle for the places, but the form of TAMARA LOVE, behind Hamley is solid stuff.
