12/1

Ran respectably in 1m Leopardstown handicap on penultimate start and again ran fair race over 6f at Hamilton since. Has had plenty tries already, probably playing for places at best.

On The Go Again^t¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Gary Carroll| T: M Mulvany| OR: 79

11/4

Has already won over hurdles, was only just denied at Down Royal 13 days ago in a 1m2f maiden contest. Should go well once more.

Form: 55-22

Pure Action⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: K J Manning| T: J Feane| OR: 72

6/1

Run a couple of pleasing races in maidens at Naas and Tipperary of late (behind Live Twice both occasions), bit more needed again but certainly not discounted on third turf start with yard in good form.

Form: 534-353

Live Twice^p,t1⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: C O'Donoghue| T: P D Deegan| OR: 70

11/2

Settled for second best in both recent runs at Naas and Tipperary over this sort of trip. Capable of winning a race like this seemingly.

Form: 0005-22

10/1

Two runs in this class last month at Fairyhouse and Naas, both on decent ground, leaving him with something more to find now in a first-time hood.

Wooster^p1,t¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Anastasia O'Brien⁽³⁾| T: J P O'Brien

9/2

Close third over much longer trip at Down Royal last time out (1m2f, good). Is closely matched with runner-up On The Go Again based on that run and can improve here with cheekpieces added.

Form: 83

Its All For Luck^t¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Colin Keane| T: R P McNamara

4/1

Sister to Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Jet Setting, she was 3½L on second start at Naas (7f, good) 17 days ago having been sent off at 25/1 (Live Twice second). Could be more to come.

Finsceal Fior filly wears tongue tie on debut, yard have been quite lately but jockey in flying form. Others appeal more.

66/1

Vale of York filly cut no ice on debut over the mile on AW at Dundalk 56 days ago, appears to be holding limited claims amongst some talented rivals on that initial evidence.

Forecasts

On The Go Again (11/4), Its All For Luck (4/1), Wooster (9/2), Live Twice (11/2), Pure Action (6/1), Cool Colonnade (10/1), Dandy Dude (12/1), Lady Aristeia (16/1), My Amazing One (33/1), Sally Gap (66/1)

On The Go Again and Wooster finished second and third at Down Royal last time out and both should be involved again. The drop back in trip however from 1m2f is a concern and maybe leaves them vulnerable. On the other hand, LIVE TWICE and Its All For Luck filled the same positions over 7f at Naas 17 days ago with the selection also a runner-up at Tipperary since – both runs over this sort of trip. With a first-time tongue tie on this evening and Colm O'Donoghue booked, Live Twice might make it third time lucky. Pure Action, behind the selection last time also has scope for better.
