5/1

Listed winner at Leopardstown in 2015 but only won once since, a success at Gowran last June. Beaten and well held in two starts this season and may grab a place at best here.

10/3

Course winner who was beaten favourite last month when finishing ninth of 13 beaten 5¼L in a Curragh handicap. Looks up against it but worth a market check.

6/1

Solid and game sort who put in a number of consistent displays last summer without hitting the board. Worth a market check and deserves a change of luck.

Forecasts

Marshall Jennings (5/2), Zorion (10/3), Tennessee Wildcat (5/1), Bella Estrella (5/1), Belle Boyd (11/2), Mamba Noire (6/1), Allegio (7/1)

The Dermot Weld-trained BELLA ESTRELLA looked beaten when hampered on seasonal bow in a Gowran Park listed contest over 1m1½f last month but can improve on that run here building on her unbeaten three-year-old campaign last season. Useful handicapper Marshall Jennings from the Jessica Harrington yard and the highly tried Mamba Noire can battle for the remaining place.
