Treacy's Pharmacies Irish EBF Fillies Handicap (60-90)

Off time: 20:25 | Winning time: 3m 1.56s

(3)

Pearl Of The West^t⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: T P Madden⁽⁵⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 87

13/2

Sixth of 10 in a Dundalk handicap on the AW when eventually disqualified following a fine win at Carlisle on a British raid in March in a novice hurdle. Form of her win at the Galway festival last year puts her in the mix here.

Form: D1129-D

(8)

Bianca Minola³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: W J Lee| T: R O'Brien| OR: 81

7/2

In great form since joining this yard and came within a neck of completing a hat-trick when finishing runner-up over 1m5f at Navan last month before being not disgraced in a Leopardstown handicap over 1m2f last time out.

Form: 47-1120

(2)

Harebell^t1¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: S Foley| T: E P Harty| OR: 78

10/1

Nothing of note in three seasonal starts to date and will have to raise overall performance to play a role here in first-time tongue-tie.

Form: 163-846

(4)

Decision Time³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J E Kiely| OR: 77| D

9/4

Finished a neck in front of Bianca Minola in a Navan handicap on fast ground over this trip last month and the 3lb penalty unlikely to halt another bold show here.

Form: 4541-01

(5)

Two For Tea¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: C O'Donoghue| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 69

11/2

Struggled in four starts since finishing runner-up on heavy ground over this trip at Navan last October. Hard to fancy on latest evidence.

Form: 828-697

(7)

Creeping Ivy^t²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: Ronan Whelan| T: A J Martin| OR: 67

12/1

Appears to be saving his best for the AW at Dundalk following a number of below-par efforts on turf with ground a major concern here.

Form: 1/363-45

(6)

Faradays Law^t³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Wayne Lordan| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 67

9/1

Plenty to like about the fillies starts around 1m2f at Leopardstown and Down Royal recently but remains to be seen whether step up in trip will suit.

Form: 00-2878

(1)

Head Turner⁶⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 8-4| J: Chris Hayes| T: P A Fahy| OR: 63| C

20/1

Not won on the Flat since landing a Tipperary handicap in April last year off a 2lb lower mark. Chasing since and possibly best watched on return to the level.

Form: 0040/18-

Forecasts

Decision Time (9/4), Bianca Minola (7/2), Two For Tea (11/2), Pearl Of The West (13/2), Faradays Law (9/1), Harebell (10/1), Creeping Ivy (12/1), Head Turner (20/1)

The ground appears to be the key to DECISION TIME as proved with her defeat of Bianca Minola when staying on strongly in the last 100 yards to lead close home at Navan last month and the 3lb may not be enough to stop the mare in this contest. Bianca Minola can be a bigger threat here dropping back down in trip after finishing down the field last time out and Pearl Of The West deserves consideration returning to her favoured ground.
