Irish Field Flat Race

Off time: 15:46 | Winning time: 5m 2.60s

Kilcross Lad

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: N T Prendergast⁽⁷⁾| T: J O Clifford

33/1

Son of Millenary who is a half-brother to a point-to-point winner. Makes his racecourse bow and the market will be the best guide to his prospects.

Form:

Play The Dane⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr S F O'Keeffe⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss E Doyle

9/1

Beaten quite a long way in both starts at Wexford and Clonmel. Staying on when third last time and extra distance of this race should suit.

Form: 53

Robin The Hare⁷⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr R O Harding⁽³⁾| T: J J Hanlon

5/4

Won the first of his two point-to-points and may well have won the other had he not fallen two out. Makes his hurdling debut for this trainer and is of considerable interest on his first outing in a bumper.

Form: 1-F

Bonatini

Age: 4| Weight: 11-11| J: Ms L O'Neill⁽³⁾| T: A Leahy

10/1

Frozen Fire gelding who is from a winning family over hurdles and fences. Worth noting in the betting on his debut.

Form:

Crezic^h²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr J J Codd| T: G Elliott

15/8

Well held in a bumper and maiden hurdle for his top trainer. Likely there is better to come, but his bare form makes him vulnerable should one of the newcomers be useful.

Form: U-58

Itsnotinit²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr B O'Neill| T: P Nolan

8/1

Oscar gelding who is a half-brother to three winners including 2015 Becher Chase hero Highland Lodge. Beaten a long way on his debut at Fairyhouse and looks a long-term prospect.

Form: 0

Jammy George⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr D G Lavery⁽³⁾| T: T Cooper

12/1

Multiplex half-brother to Lucky William, who landed seven races for this yard including two bumpers and the Ryanair Chase at Punchestown. Fourth of five on debut at Navan and should be much wiser for the outing.

Form: 4

Forecasts

Robin The Hare (5/4), Crezic (15/8), Itsnotinit (8/1), Play The Dane (9/1), Bonatini (10/1), Jammy George (12/1), Kilcross Lad (33/1)

Crezic represents powerful connections but looks vulnerable to one of the newcomers and the one who catches the eye is ROBIN THE HARE, who might be 2-2 in point-to-points but for falling in the second of them. Play The Dane looks likely to be suited by stepping up in trip, while Jammy George is well bred and should improve on his debut display.
