Racing Again May 19th Handicap (45-65)

Off time: 19:03 | Winning time: 1m 49.47s

(7)

Beau Satchel^b1¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: T M Sherry⁽¹⁰⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 63| D

6/1

Has conjured a 6lb drop in the weights following a five race winter campaign on the AW at Dundalk when not disgraced in all appearances. Worth a market check in first time blinkers.

Form: 707-924

(4)

Cosmic Symbol^p⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Dylan Hogan⁽⁵⁾| T: G Webb| OR: 62| D

33/1

Dropping down to a winning mark but has shown poor form in two dismal runs at Cork and Leopardstown. Looks up against it here.

Form: 1740-70

(8)

Double Czech⁴⁸⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Karen Kenny⁽⁷⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 62| D

33/1

Almost two years since he won, didn't show anything in three AW runs in 2016 for this handler and returns following a long lay-off. Handicap mark is a positive against old form.

Form: 820000/

(11)

Feeling Easy⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: D P Linehan⁽⁵⁾| T: A Mulholland| OR: 59| D

17/2

Possibly needed the run on seasonal debut at Leopardstown earlier this month when finishing 10th of 20 beaten 7L. Place claims on best form.

Form: 00104-0

(18)

Secret Memories^t⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: K K Hennessy⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss K Brown| OR: 59| D

20/1

Turf winner at Wetherby last summer over a mile, that came on good to firm ground so may need a more drying ground to play a major role here.

Form: 1-82608

(9)

Romantic²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: O J Orr⁽³⁾| T: N C Kelly| OR: 58| D

16/1

Put a string of disappointing displays behind him when landing a Southwell 6f handicap last month when not unbacked. Likely to struggle though back on turf.

Form: 905-471

(2)

No Way Jack^p,t⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Killian Leonard⁽³⁾| T: P Martin| OR: 57| D

11/2

Distance winner last time out in a Leopardstown handicap earlier this month on first turf start since a run here in October. Starts on a career high mark here and may find this a tough ask.

Form: 506-361

(13)

Ojinjintka^p¹⁹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: S P Bird⁽¹⁰⁾| T: H Rogers| OR: 56| D

25/1

Races off a 3lb lower mark than her last win in a Killarney handicap in August. Will possibly need the run here.

Form: 031808-

(3)

Society Ranger^p³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Gavin Brouder⁽⁷⁾| T: Joseph Murray| OR: 53

14/1

Hasn't always lived up to expectations, respectable in a claimer here on final start for previous handler. One to watch in the betting.

Form: 420845

(15)

Surewhynot¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Ben Coen⁽⁷⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 52

12/1

Not disgraced in a four-race Dundalk campaign as well as finishing sixth of 13 beaten over 3L in a Wolverhampton handicap last month. First run in turf since June 2017 and looks up against it here.

Form: 030-664

(17)

Tennessee Rose^t⁸⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁵⁾| T: A Keatley| OR: 52

20/1

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

Form: 6290-90

(16)

Bella Rua^h⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Leigh Roche| T: Miss J M Lee| OR: 48

16/1

Seven race maiden but solid and consistent enough on her last two starts in late summer prior to disappointing at Dundalk in February. Worth a market check on turf return.

Form: 77022-0

(5)

Cashless⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger| OR: 46

7/1

Returning from a break when finishing fifth over 1m at Dundalk on the AW last month before finishing third of 20 beaten 3L in a Leopardstown handicap earlier this month. Unlikely to get off the mark here.

Form: 6/770-53

(6)

Dont Quit⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Chris Hayes| T: J T Gorman| OR: 46| D

9/1

Broke his maiden when winning over 1m at Gowran Park in a three-year-old handicap in October 2016 and finds himself below that winning mark but unlikely to have a say here based on most recent efforts.

Form: 01/088-5

(14)

Camile^t⁷⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Wayne Lordan| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 45

7/2

Last seen on the Flat for previous yard when finishing 13th of 18 beaten 33L here in October. Hurdling since on stable debut when pulled up. Difficult to construct much of a case for the mare here.

Form: 097500-

(1)

Fast On^p³⁷³

Age: 9| Weight: 8-8| J: N G McCullagh| T: S Fahey| OR: 45| D

33/1

Not seen since being well beaten at Cork over 1m2f last year. Difficult on return but even his best form wouldn't be enough here.

Form: 2160/50-

(12)

Stadius^h1²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: C P Hoban| T: D P Nagle| OR: 45

25/1

15 race maiden but put in a fair effort when finishing fifth in a handicap over an extended 1m2f at Dundalk before finishing 10th of 14 at the same track last month. Modest turf form and hard to fancy in first time hood.

Form: 009-560

(10)

Templemary Boy^b1³²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Shane Foley| T: P W Flynn| OR: 45| BF

9/1

First-time blinkers fitted following a run at Wolverhampton last month finishing third of nine over 1m1½f. Tough ask for eight-race maiden.

Form: 09420-3

Forecasts

Camile (7/2), No Way Jack (11/2), Beau Satchel (6/1), Cashless (7/1), Excelli (7/1), Feeling Easy (17/2), Templemary Boy (9/1), Dont Quit (9/1), Surewhynot (12/1), Society Ranger (14/1), Bella Rua (16/1), Romantic (16/1), Tennessee Rose (20/1), Secret Memories (20/1), Ojinjintka (25/1), Stadius (25/1), Verbosity (25/1), Finvarra (25/1), Double Czech (33/1), Fast On (33/1), Cosmic Symbol (33/1)

The improving CASHLESS could take advantage of the early pace of Stadius and Don't Quit as all three come from a high draw. The Jim Bolger-trained four-year-old gelding has shown himself in good form already this season with two solid performances at Dundalk and more recently when third of 20 at Leopardstown beaten 3L over this trip. No Way Jack and Beau Satchel in first-time blinkers can fill the minor places.
