Groovy Jazz⁷⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Rory Cleary| T: L Comer| OR: 70

16/1

Showed an improved level of form on his most recent start in a maiden before disappointing again on handicap debut at Naas when last seen in March. Best watched on return.

Form: 0406-0

Miss Zizi^h²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: C O'Donoghue| T: J M Oxx| OR: 70

8/1

Pleasing return to the track when finishing fourth of 16 beaten over 9L in a Gowran Park handicap over this trip. Looks a progressive type and shortlisted here.

Form: 04277-4

Piper Bomb^t²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: T M Sherry⁽¹⁰⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 67

25/1

No impression and looked one-pace on seasonal bow in a Tipperary handicap over 5f last month. Form in this company and over the trip should not be dismissed.

Form: 63410-7

Signing Off^t1⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger| OR: 67

8/1

Appears to be improving with every start including last time out finishing fourth of 11 beaten 5½ in a Gowran Park maiden. Could be of interest on handicap debut in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 004

So Enjoy^p1⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Leigh Roche| T: J Nash| OR: 67

10/1

Fourth of 20 beaten 2L here over 1m last month before a curious run at Navan earlier this month when last of 16 when something clearly amiss. Cheekpieces tried for the first-time and worth a market check.

Form: 7352-40

Feisty Katerina^p,t¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Ronan Whelan| T: B W Duke| OR: 65

14/1

Swamped in the final furlong here last month over 1m when racing prominently eventually finishing ninth of 20 beaten 3¾L on good to firm ground. Could be interesting if close-up tactics deployed again.

Form: 86-5809

Tell Me^p¹¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: O J Orr⁽⁵⁾| T: A McCann| OR: 63

25/1

Modest novice last year for Simon Crisford well beaten in three starts for the trainer. Limited amounts of promise in two starts on the AW at Dundalk but not enough to put her in the frame here.

Form: 849-43

Patrick Joseph⁹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D W O'Connor⁽⁵⁾| T: D Marnane| OR: 62| BF

16/1

Beaten favourite last time out in a Dundalk handicap on the AW in March. Placed on turf in the past and can make his presence felt here on first start since being gelded.

Form: 00-3525

Song Of Dunes^h⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: T P Madden⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 60

12/1

Footstepsinthesand gelding, half-brother to Listed sprint winner and dam a Group 3 winner. Nothing in three career starts to date but could be a different proposition on handicap debut.

Form: 47-6

Face Off²²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Billy Lee| T: C O'Brien| OR: 58

18/1

Well beaten and no impression in three maiden starts to date but another that is worth a market check on handicap debut.

Form: 688-

Annesdale Dancer^t²⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Ross Coakley⁽³⁾| T: J Larkin| OR: 57

33/1

Nothing of any note in three career starts to date and hard to fancy on evidence to hand.

Form: 000-

11/4

Beaten favourite on handicap debut finishing seventh of 18 beaten over 3L at Fairyhouse on good to firm. Claims if getting a clear run.

5/1

Distance winner who was beaten favourite finishing fourth of 13 in an Ayr handicap over 6f on Friday following a win at Fairyhouse four days earlier. Clearly in good shape and entitled to make the shortlist turned out quickly.

Form: 80-0814

Nancy D'Alton⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: N G McCullagh| T: P A Fahy| OR: 50

25/1

Well held on her last four turf appearances including when last seen finishing 25L behind the winner of a Limerick handicap in April. Others preferred.

Waitingfortheday (11/4), Hey Pretty (5/1), Miss Zizi (8/1), Signing Off (8/1), So Enjoy (10/1), Song Of Dunes (12/1), Magsmillie (12/1), Feisty Katerina (14/1), Cantstoptherock (14/1), Danehill Quest (16/1), Patrick Joseph (16/1), Groovy Jazz (16/1), Face Off (18/1), Khwarizmi (20/1), Piper Bomb (25/1), Nancy D'Alton (25/1), Tell Me (25/1), Annesdale Dancer (33/1)

The likable WAITINGFORTHEDAY can land the closing event building on a couple of spins at Dundalk on the AW and at Fairyhouse last month when finding plenty of trouble in running. Hey Pretty, beaten favourite last time out and having his third run in seven days, Magsmillie, third at Navan yesterday and the improving Danehill Quest can battle for the minor honours here.
