Chocolate Diamond¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss Brodie Hampson⁽⁵⁾| T: D C O'Brien

100/1

Won a claimer at Fairyhouse on the Flat back in 2014, but recent performances have been woeful and he is impossible to recommend.

Form: P90

Daleelak⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr J Pearce⁽⁷⁾| T: D C O'Brien

100/1

2015 7f maiden winner for Mark Johnston but lost his way subsequently. Two runs over hurdles for new connections do not inspire any confidence he is on the way back.

Form: 60

Dancing Doug³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Harrison Beswick⁽⁷⁾| T: S Thomas

5/2

Has shown enough ability in bumpers to show that a clean round would put him in the mix in this company.

Form: 4F32

Mr Jack¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Thomas Garner⁽³⁾| T: Mrs L C Jewell

8/1

Improved display last time in a weak race run at a modest pace. The effort flatters him, but he is better than many in this.

Form: PP4

Six Gun Serenade¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Brendan Powell| T: J & S Best

3/1

Landed an Irish point-to-point three years ago on good ground. Took a big step forward here last time when conditions would have been softer than ideal, so he needs to be considered with the ground drying out.

Form: U1/05

Spice Boat^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: M Goldstein| T: P Butler

100/1

Maiden after 15 starts and pulled up on last two outings. Has no realistic chance on the evidence of those performances.

Form: P-P

Atalanta's Gold⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore

20/1

Stable normally have one prepared for this contest but doubtful she will be making any impression judged on her efforts so far.

Form: 0P

Dubai Dirham⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Jack Sherwood⁽³⁾| T: Miss S Smith

11/1

Third in a moderately run bumper when appearing to show improved form on third start. Has had him limitations exposed since.

Form: 5-830

Oborne Lady⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Kevin Jones⁽⁵⁾| T: J W Mullins

33/1

Showed a modest level of ability on bumper debut but has got progressively worse since. Makes her hurdling debut at a modest level.

Form: 3088

Sunday In The Park¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Tom Cannon| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 102

9/4

Beaten a long way last time but she has posted two reasonable efforts over this trip and needs to be given a couple of tamer efforts over further. Definite claims in this company.

Form: 862672

Venetian Proposal¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: James Best| T: Miss Z C Davison

50/1

Can be given some sort of chance off her low weight based on her Flat achievements, but she will need to have learned a lot from her hurdling debut.

Form: P

Forecasts

Sunday In The Park (9/4), Dancing Doug (5/2), Six Gun Serenade (3/1), Mr Jack (8/1), Dubai Dirham (11/1), Atalanta's Gold (20/1), Oborne Lady (33/1), Venetian Proposal (50/1), Daleelak (100/1), Chocolate Diamond (100/1), Spice Boat (100/1)

SUNDAY IN THE PARK may only be modest but she has shown enough in a couple of similar standard races to suggest she is the one they all have to beat. The drying conditions will be in favour of Six Gun Serenade who is a point-to-point winner on good ground and who offered plenty of encouragement last time.Dancing Doug looks best of the rest.
