Failed to build on a couple of promising displays last month when finishing down the field at Gowran Park recently. Not placed on the ground but worth a market check.

Was nearest at the finish in a Leopardstown handicap last month when fourth of 17 on good to firm ground. Looks a progressive type and entitled to go close here.

Landed a 16/1 shock last month in a Gowran Park handicap over an extended 1m2f. Form on turf before that left a little to be desired and 5lb rise in the weights may be enough to stop the gelding in this contest.

Without a win in 13 starts well beaten last month on seasonal debut at Leopardstown. Will need to improve to figure here.

Will have disappointed connections in a series of dismal displays including two heavy defeats this season at Cork. Opposable on recent form.

Finished 13th of 20 but not beaten far in a bunched finish in a Leopardstown handicap on good to firm before a solid run at Roscommon earlier this month when third of 12. Plenty of room for improvement.

First time blinkers unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here following three heavy defeats this season.

Improved to finish third of 13 beaten over 3L in a Sligo handicap on yielding ground on Tuesday. Yard have had three winners this week and is one to take seriously here.

May have needed the run on seasonal debut at Navan in April and is a lot better than that performance suggests. Yard usually have their runners ready to go at this meeting.

Well beaten on a Carlisle raid earlier this month finishing tailed off 30L adrift of the winner. Hard to fancy on recent evidence.

14-race maiden finished eighth of 11 beaten 13L on seasonal debut in a Navan handicap over 1m. Well below par form looks set to continue.

Maiden of 26 races on the Flat and not seen since finishing down the field in a Dundalk handicap on the AW in November. May find this a tough assignment.

Forecasts

Acari (4/1), Magic Sea (4/1), Mademoiselle Penny (9/2), Dayereh (5/1), Duchess Ravenwaves (11/2), Vocal Resurgence (6/1), Gold Struck (11/1), Faradays Law (12/1), Solomons Seal (16/1), Last Garrison (20/1), Misty Mountain (20/1), Mountain Kingdom (20/1), Lucky Red (33/1)

Verdict

MADEMOISELLE PENNY looks to be enjoying her racing currently and can take this contest from the front building on her second of 14 behind the impressive Newcross at Roscommon recently. Duchess Ravenwaves and the improving Dayereh look to be the biggest dangers. The Jim Bolger-trained Vocal Resurgence needs further consideration given the form of the yard at this meeting.
