Geological⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: S M Mooney⁽¹⁰⁾| T: D English| OR: 86| C

17/2

Will be having his 37th start here and not disgraced in any of his last four starts for this course winner. Possibly place claims at best.

Form: 022-735

Oneoveryou^t²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Ben Coen⁽⁷⁾| T: M Fahey| OR: 79| CD

7/4

Four-time C&D winner the latest on the first of last month off a 6lb lower mark before a ½L defeat when headed close home earlier this month. Likely to have plenty of supporters.

Form: 35341-2

Menelik^t,v¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-1| J: P J Smullen| T: D Donovan| OR: 76| C| D

12/1

Course winner that has won over this trip the last win coming last month over 6f before a raid on Lingfield Park where the game gelding finished fifth of seven earlier this month. Capable of a big run now 1lb lower than last winning mark.

Form: 4531-85

Silk Cravat⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Sean Davis⁽⁵⁾| T: G M Lyons| OR: 71| BF| C

3/1

C&D beating 12 rivals last month when sent of the even money favourite. 5lb rise for his efforts looked to take it's toll when finishing fourth of 14 earlier this month. Another bold bid looks on the cards.

Form: 31231-4

(2)

Plough Boy⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: Wayne Lordan| T: G Donnelly| OR: 70| C

9/2

Course winner back in November 2015 off a 5lb higher mark. Looks opposable on first run over this trip having not won below 7f in his career.

Form: 0093-63

(3)

Brave Display^v⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: Chris Hayes| T: P J Prendergast| OR: 65| C

11/2

Won a 6f competitive contest last month off a 3lb lower mark. Looks vulnerable in this company being without a win from two efforts over this trip.

Form: 20914-9

Forecasts

Oneoveryou (7/4), Silk Cravat (3/1), Plough Boy (9/2), Brave Display (11/2), Geological (17/2), Menelik (12/1)

The gallant Geological may well be taken on for the lead here by the improving ONEOVERYOU who has lead in three of his last four starts to great success. The ultra consistent Silk Cravat and the recent developing Plough Boy can hit the frame.
