Course winner that has won over the distance and although only beaten 4¾L the gelding did finish 11th of 12. Place claims.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Killian Leonard⁽³⁾| T: N Henley| OR: 62

40/1

Second-rate performances last term resulted in the filly being beaten a total of 71L. Very little to be positive about.

Form: 24/78-

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Chris Hayes| T: D Marnane| OR: 62| CD

5/1

C&D winner who won here in March off a 13lb lower mark. Tough and genuine improver only beaten 2½L last time out despite finishing seventh of 12 but has place claims.

Form: 1453-47

Chunkyfunkymonkey⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: K J Manning| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 61

25/1

67-rated Flat handicapper for trainer Jamie Osbourne and well beaten no impression on stable debut earlier this month before another poor effort last week behind a number of rivals tonight. Unlikely to play a part in the finish.

Form: 1837-00

Aegeus^b¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Lee| T: R O'Brien| OR: 59

6/1

Not disgraced in three starts here in October and again on two efforts earlier this month. Not one to totally leave out of calculations.

Form: 8078-70

(2)

Military Hill^b¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: R P Downey⁽³⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 58| D

9/2

Solid and consistent in two starts over C&D this year including a ¾L defeat last time out behind Prove The Point with Aegeus further behind. Another bold show looks likely.

Form: 2800-33

Cresendo^t²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: C Heavey⁽¹⁰⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 56| CD

16/1

C&D winner sixth of 12 beaten 4L on stable debut in a Southwell 1m3f handicap behind Lean On Pete before a disappointing effort earlier this month when finishing 13th of 14 beaten 27L. Plenty to prove in this contest.

Form: 80256-0

Tennessee Rose^t⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: S Corby⁽³⁾| T: A Keatley| OR: 56

33/1

Has been well beaten on three starts for the yard and requires a chunk of improvement to play a role in this contest.

Form: 46290-9

Baby Bellini¹²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Wayne Lordan| T: I Madden| OR: 53

33/1

Last seen on the Flat when fifth of eight in a poor Ballinrobe effort over 1m1½L in June last year. Hard to construct much of a case for him.

Jock Talk^p1,t⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Gary Halpin⁽³⁾| T: G Elliott| OR: 51

14/1

Looked rather unlucky to bump into a well handicapped individual on his AW debut in October but has since badly disappointed in two starts over 1m. Still, worth a market check.

Form: 843200-

Wild Shot⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Rory Cleary| T: D English| OR: 50| CD

8/1

C&D winner who is one from 16 here with the sole win back in August off a mark of 58. Best form gives him a claim.

Form: 7706-54

(12)

Texas Radio⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁵⁾| T: J Feane| OR: 47

8/1

Has not gone unbacked in three starts here in January including finishing sixth of 14 beaten 5½L last week with Tennessee Rose and Chunkyfunkymonkey behind. Worth another market check.

Form: 004-226

Multiviz⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Shane Foley| T: S M Duffy| OR: 45

7/1

Improved on a number of gloomy runs here when finishing fourth of 14 beaten 1¾L adrift of Nimitz. Will need the run of the race to play a role here.

Form: 9030-74

Mistress Marinrio^t¹⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-8| J: N G McCullagh| T: P Neville| OR: 45

50/1

Second Reserve: A 18-race maiden, well beaten and no impression on last two starts when sent off at 50/1 and 25/1 and yet to make the frame.

Forecasts

Military Hill (9/2), Tennesse Waltz (5/1), So Sensible (5/1), Aegeus (6/1), Multiviz (7/1), Texas Radio (8/1), Rummaging (8/1), Wild Shot (8/1), Dandy Dude (12/1), Jock Talk (14/1), Cresendo (16/1), Chunkyfunkymonkey (25/1), Baby Bellini (33/1), Tennessee Rose (33/1), Cavelli (40/1), Mistress Marinrio (50/1), Jose Echegaray (50/1)

If making the race Mistress Marinrio usually likes to get herself on the lead, alternatively, the likes of Baby Bellini, Cresendo and Jose Echegaray will possibly compete for the front-end in the first three furlongs of the race. TEXAS RADIO went well over C&D earlier this month and can claim the contest at the expense of Military Hill and Tennesse Waltz.
