Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Nathan Crosse⁽⁷⁾| T: W McCreery| OR: 92| CD

6/1

In good form last year winning twice on good-to-firm ground over this trip. Couple of decent efforts so far this term and of interest on her return to this trip.

Form: 3120-54

Oneoveryou^t²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Chris Hayes| T: R O'Brien| OR: 89| BF| D

2/1

Followed up an impressive Dundalk win in March with a good second at Navan (5f, good-to-firm) on return to turf last month. One for the shortlist in this contest.

Form: 1-24212

Alfredo Arcano^h,t²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: O J Orr⁽⁵⁾| T: D Marnane| OR: 82| D

12/1

Placed three times subsequently having won over this trip at Dundalk last November. Fair sixth on return to turf last time out and worth a check in the market.

Form: 9123-36

Nigg Bay^v⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: D W O'Connor⁽⁵⁾| T: J F Levins| OR: 80| D

9/2

Broke his maiden when winning over this trip at Navan (good-to-firm) last time out. Raised 9lb for that victory and interesting to see how he performs on this occasion.

Form: 6-42021

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Rory Cleary| T: J McAuley| OR: 78| D

33/1

Winner of two of his four starts on turf for William Haggas in 2016 but made just three starts last year and finished well held behind Oneoveryou on debut for this stable last time.

Form: 811/047-

Rattling Jewel³³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Wayne Lordan| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 76| BF| CD

5/2

Ran well to finish runner-up over 5f at Naas (good-to-yielding) on stable and seasonal debut a month ago. Winner over C&D off a 9lb higher mark a year ago but likely to prefer more cut in the ground.

Form: 00000-2

Brave Display^b1⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Sean Davis⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Prendergast| OR: 73| CD

16/1

Winning for the fourth time when successful over C&D on heavy ground here last month. Held twice subsequently and wears blinkers for the first time.

T For Tango^b¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: N G McCullagh| T: J Nash| OR: 75| D

50/1

Struggled in two starts since returning from a break including over 1m on good-to-firm ground here last time. Drop in trip is in his favour.

Form: 0698-00

(6)

Verhoyen^h⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: K J Leonard⁽⁵⁾| T: M C Grassick| OR: 75

14/1

Not beaten far on each of his last three starts most recently when second of four over 6f at Fairyhouse (good-to-firm) last time out. Returns to handicap company racing from 3lb out of the weights.

Form: 0-10542

Forecasts

Oneoveryou (2/1), Rattling Jewel (5/2), Nigg Bay (9/2), Snowstar (6/1), Alfredo Arcano (12/1), Verhoyen (14/1), Brave Display (16/1), Lapilli (33/1), T For Tango (50/1)

ONEOVERYOU can register his second win in four starts since joining trainer Richard O'Brien by taking this competitive looking sprint handicap. The selection looks likely to try and make in this contest and she can get the better of Rattling Jewel who ran well on her debut for this yard last time out. Snowstar should appreciate this return to 5f and she can claim third.
