For Pleasure¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: K J Manning| T: J M Barrett| OR: 67

11/10

Romped home on handicap debut at Navan (1m2f, heavy) courtesy of a much-improved effort. Up 9lb and extra yardage now, but wouldn't be easy to write off and is the one to beat.

Form: 30-41

(6)

Remmy D^p1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: D O'Brien| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 67

3/1

Had no answer against For Pleasure last time at Navan on handicap bow. 9lb better off with that rival and gets first-time cheekpieces added but tough to see places reversed.

Form: 97-03

Haunting Vocals²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: C P Hoban| T: M Flannery| OR: 59

16/1

Fair effort on return to action at Cork recently over an extended-mile on heavy going, drops 1lb in the ratings and attempts this increased trip for the first time now. May have more to offer.

Form: 70013-3

Easkey Lad^v1²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Dylan Hogan⁽⁵⁾| T: F Birrane| OR: 55

16/1

Well held in trio of maidens on the AW at Dundalk, goes handicapping now switched to turf for the first time and gets new headgear. May improve.

Form: 0-36

(2)

Sunnyhill Lad²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: K J Leonard⁽³⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 55

33/1

Fit from recent maiden outing at Cork, sent off 66/1 there and no threat posed. Up markedly in trip for this handicap bow.

Form: 500-7

(7)

Nancy D'Alton¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: A J Slattery⁽⁷⁾| T: P A Fahy| OR: 54

12/1

Once again attempted to make all on handicap debut at Dundalk (1m2½f, AW) recently but readily reeled in by the field and beat only two of eight rivals home in the end. Has to improve considerably.

Form: 998-7

(4)

Roses Queen^h1²¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Chris Hayes| T: P J Prendergast| OR: 52

4/1

Hasn't shown enough in three turf maidens over shorter trips to warrant support on return from a break for handicap debut going right up in trip, unless there are strong vibes in favour.

Form: 667-

Forecasts

For Pleasure (11/10), Remmy D (3/1), Roses Queen (4/1), Nancy D'Alton (12/1), Haunting Vocals (16/1), Easkey Lad (16/1), Sunnyhill Lad (33/1)

FOR PLEASURE was a blot on the handicap first time out at Navan recently and, in similar conditions over slightly further, will take plenty stopping despite the addition of 9lb. Remmy D was behind him in that contest and might prove best of the remainder while Haunting Vocals and Easkey Lad are potential improvers.
