Dansili gelding out of a Galileo mare related to the likes of Flintshire and The Fugue on the stallion side while the mare hasn't exactly been prolific with off-spring. Looks a long-term prospect.

Intikhab colt out of a Perugino mare who finished 21L behind Cliffs Of Moher on sole career start when last seen in October 2016 in a Leopardstown maiden. Looks a tall order on return to the track.

66/1

Well beaten and no impression in a Limerick maiden hurdle on first start for yard following time with David Barron. Should handle this surface being by Big Bad Bob but a tough assignment lies ahead.

Five-time C&D winner the last of which came in a July claimer beating Seanie by 2½L. Solid and consistent sort who is worth a check in the market.

Uncomplicated mare but still without a win in 14 starts for this yard since joining from Brendan Powell including three heavy defeats here in the last two months. Tough ask and others preferred.

Forecasts

Reckless Lad (9/2), Seanie (9/2), Yamato (9/2), Six Silver Lane (11/2), Spiral Galaxy (6/1), Specific Gravity (6/1), Spiritual Law (20/1), Building Year (28/1), Surewhynot (40/1), Wicket (50/1), Dark Amber (66/1), Bing Bang Bank (66/1), Bobs Bud (66/1), Kookaburra Charlie (66/1), Cantseeforlooking (80/1)

In another tight contest Six Silver Lane likes to get on with things from the front and could possibly have Specific Gravity, Spiritual Law and Seanie chasing behind as the race settles down. RECKLESS LAD won over C&D in November and is capable of repeating the feat here with course winner Seanie the biggest danger.
