Bainne^h²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: D W O'Connor⁽⁵⁾| T: J F Levins| OR: 66| D

5/1

Handles this course we'll enough but is currently 0-20 at Dundalk and is running out of chances. Won a lads race at The Curragh in May but not been in anything like the same form since.

Form: 064707

Zippy⁶⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: D P Linehan⁽⁵⁾| T: J F Levins| OR: 67| C| D

11/1

Been in good heart lately and sound claims once more if her latest effort in a better grade is overlooked. Return to this trip also a plus.

Form: 001130

(4)

Midnitemudcrabs¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Gary Halpin⁽³⁾| T: J Feane| OR: 73| CD

5/4

C&D winner who likes to sit handy and has plenty going for her at this level. Recent form reads well but, as seen when she was reeled in near the finish last time out, her style of running sometimes leaves her vulnerable when close to home.

Form: 585347

(2)

Melisandre²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 75| CD

5/2

Won a fillies maiden over C&D last September but form has been mixed since then. Behind a few of the others latest and now has something to prove

Form: 81-4820

(8)

La Cumparsita²⁰⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Shane Foley| T: J J Murphy| OR: 46

50/1

Likeable breeding but form in the book not so appealing. Hard to make a strong case for her after a poor effort latest.

Form: 0-000

(10)

Acroleina^t,v1⁶⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Killian Leonard⁽⁵⁾| T: H Rogers| OR: 31| C

50/1

Both career wins achieved at this course but never been at her best at this trip and others more appealing.

Form: 8-09700

(3)

Maysonette²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Gary Carroll| T: J G Murphy| OR: 67

8/1

Form on turf has been moderate at best. Worth a try on this surface but plenty of improvement required.

Form: 47760

(6)

Iyiyiangel^h,t¹⁹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Nathan Crosse⁽⁷⁾| T: N Moran| OR: 41

50/1

Gave trouble at the start before her last two starts and while she can be quickly away the tank has often emptied earlier than desired. Needs a lot go her way.

Form: 900/0-80

(9)

Gifted Lady³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Chris Hayes| T: M Mulvany| OR: 42

40/1

Not been to this course since her racecourse debut and has plenty to find after a series of moderate efforts.

Form: 905500

(7)

Tremendous³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: L Lennon| OR: 59

20/1

Signs of ability when with Richard Hannon but pulled up on debut for her new yard when sent over hurdles at Perth last month. Switch to Flat should suit but still a bit to prove just now.

Form: 5-963

Forecasts

Midnitemudcrabs (5/4), Melisandre (5/2), Bainne (5/1), Maysonette (8/1), Zippy (11/1), Tremendous (20/1), Gifted Lady (40/1), La Cumparsita (50/1), Acroleina (50/1), Iyiyiangel (50/1)

Supporting MIDNITEMUDCRABS comes with a few risks attached but she is a tough campaigner that may be able to fend off all the challenges if she runs her usual race from the front. Bainne and Melisandre were in behind the selection last time out and have work to do to reverse the form, so it may be down to Zippy to pose the biggest threat this time around.
