Daughter of Bushranger bought cheaply as a yearling and well held on debut here over 7f last month. Liable to find a couple stronger in this.

Winner for the David O'Meara yard in 2016 and has been generally over the jumps since joining this yard in March last year. Doesn't appear to handle the ground and others preferred.

Won a handicap at Dundalk in March and showed plenty of promise on return to fast ground last month at Gowran Park when second of 12 and capable of another bold show here.

Well beaten and never nearer in a number of desolate displays since April and now races 14lb lower than his last winning mark but worth a market check in this company.

C&D winner sometime ago for this popular veteran who has been hurdling recently. Races off 1lb higher than his last winning mark but time appears to have caught him up.

Three from 46 on turf and does most of is racing on the AW at Dundalk nowadays. Will need to raise overall performance to land a blow here.

Nothing of note since finishing second eight in a Clonmel claimer last month, well held on three starts since. Well below par form looks set to continue.

Forecasts

The Lords Walk (5/4), Pando (11/8), Percy B Shelley (6/1), Mighty Whitey (7/1), Specific Gravity (8/1), Torthai An Ghra (12/1), Empress Lyla (12/1), Stay With Me (12/1), Sbraase (14/1), Muroor (20/1), Joely (33/1)

Verdict

EMPRESS LYLA has been badly out of form of late but gets his beloved good ground here and can out run his odds to land the opener now racing 14lb below his last winning mark. Veteran Mighty Whitey and Specific Gravity are worthy of consideration in this company but may be pipped to the places by potential improvers Stay With Me and Pando.
  1. Empress Lyla
  2. Stay With Me
  3. Pando
