Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Shane Foley| T: K H Clarke| OR: 64| CD

3/1

Improved form to land a C&D handicap last month, has been raised 4lb for his troubles and will need to pull out some more to add to tally.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: Colin Keane| T: A McNamara| OR: 64

Bumper winner at Kilbeggan in 2016, unplaced in four starts on the AW so far, tongue tie added for handicap debut and notable jockey booking. Improved effort could be forthcoming.

Age: 9| Weight: 9-11| J: T P Madden⁽⁵⁾| T: N Madden| OR: 62| BF

5/1

Solid second of 14 over 1m4f in December off a similar mark. Didn't see things out having attempted to make most over C&D in January. Can do better.

Age: 10| Weight: 9-10| J: C O'Donoghue| T: R Sweeney| OR: 61| CD

Former C&D scorer, held here in a claimer recently and will have to produce a much better effort to land the finale.

Delaire^p,t¹⁶¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: D P Linehan⁽⁵⁾| T: N Dooly| OR: 58

16/1

For all that he's run well here, including over this trip, has yet to make the frame in six AW starts. Doesn't have a great record fresh and comes here off 161 days off.

Wicket¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: K K Hennessy⁽⁵⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 52

Modest handicapper on the Flat mostly round this venue. Hard to fancy until he shows a hint of ability and again soundly beaten at Cork over hurdles recently.

Form: 0900

Heavy Artillery¹⁸²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: D Hogan| OR: 51

Pretty Little Liar¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Leigh Roche| T: D P Dunne| OR: 46

5/1

A 16-race maiden but put in a career best effort when finishing third on her AW debut in a race won by Nulife over C&D last month. May build on that.

Form: 5800/U-3

(10)

Wild Shot¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Rory Cleary| T: D English| OR: 46| C

14/1

Has won here but just 1-28 on the level, beaten the best part of 10L over C&D 19 days ago, form that leaves him with plenty to work on.

Form: 06-5408

(2)

Emperor Bob²¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: C P Hoban| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 45| C

14/1

Patchy form so far since his last win which came on the beach at Laytown in 2016 in a claimer ending a long losing run. Not seen since last running at Laytown again in September and now with a new yard and the market is the best guide for now.

Form: 093407-

Lizard Point^b³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Chris Hayes| T: P J Flynn| OR: 45| BF

7/2

23-race maiden but generally runs his race and has finished in the first four on each of his last three starts, all coming over C&D.

Form: 484-343

Surewhynot²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Wayne Lordan| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 53

25/1

Form: 4030-66

Law Equity¹³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-8| J: Daniel Sheehy⁽⁵⁾| T: Christian Delcros| OR: 45

50/1

An 11-race maiden, he was well beaten over C&D in December when last spotted and races from out of the handicap here if getting in, ensuring his task is a tough one (Second Reserve).

Form: 340097-

Age: 9| Weight: 9-10| J: Nathan Crosse⁽⁷⁾| T: R Donohoe| OR: 61| CD

Forecasts

Getgo (3/1), Lizard Point (7/2), Pretty Little Liar (5/1), Pass The Ball (5/1), King Of Aran (5/1), Golden Poet (8/1), Galtymore (10/1), Society Ranger (10/1), Wild Shot (14/1), Hes Our Music (14/1), Emperor Bob (14/1), Delaire (16/1), Surewhynot (25/1), Long Journey Home (25/1), Heavy Artillery (25/1), Wicket (33/1), Law Equity (50/1)

PASS THE BALL didn't appear to benefit from front-running tactics here in January over C&D, while that was also his third outing in a month and perhaps those efforts too their toll. He's on the same mark now as when close second over a longer trip here in December and is given the nod off a short break. Last time out C&D winner Getgo is respected with 4lb extra on his back while the booking of Colin Keane catches the eye on Golden Poet. King Of Aran and Pretty Little Liar can also be given claims.
