Poetic Choice^b²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: R P Downey| T: K H Clarke| OR: 69| D

12/1

Returned to winning ways when successful over 1m on the AW at Dundalk in April but appears to be struggling on turf recently. Looks a tall order on form shown.

Form: 90-3100

(6)

Raintree⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Ronan Whelan| T: P J Prendergast| OR: 77

7/2

Got off the mark at the third time of asking in a Leopardstown maiden in April winning by ¾L. beaten latest at Killarney but likely to perform better on handicap debut.

Form: 63-14

(7)

Evies Wish³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Sean Davis⁽⁷⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 68

16/1

Failed to plunder an Ayr handicap on good to firm ground on a British raid last month. Market check needed stepping up in trip.

Form: 8210-53

(2)

Queen Rabab^b¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Chris Hayes| T: J A Stack| OR: 70| D

6/4

Solid and consistent in two of her last three starts including a win at Limerick last month. Clearly enjoying her racing right now and another bold show looks likely.

Form: 713013

(3)

Lady Rosebud³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: K J Leonard⁽³⁾| T: P Martin| OR: 61| D

11/1

Four time winner on AW but hasn't as much as placed in eight starts on turf. Well beaten on last couple of runs and she looks vulnerable here on return to the track.

Form: 031000

(4)

My Silver Nails^h¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Gary Carroll| T: M Mulvany| OR: 69

5/1

Much improved on her last two performances at Fairyhouse and at Sligo. 4lb lower than last winning mark and handicapper may have given her a chance here.

Form: 69-7933

(1)

Saint Irini^b²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁷⁾| T: E D Delany| OR: 57| D

33/1

Poor 86-rated hurdler who is without a win in five starts on turf the last of which came in the group 3 Park Express Stakes at Naas in March. May struggle on these terms.

Form: 78000-6

(8)

Nisior Donn³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Rory Cleary| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 53

8/1

Well held in AW maiden at Dundalk in March on stable debut before a promising sixth of 13 beaten 3L behind the likable Texas Radio at Gowran Park earlier this month. Capable of having her say.

Form: 0/7-36

Forecasts

Queen Rabab (6/4), Raintree (7/2), My Silver Nails (5/1), Nisior Donn (8/1), Lady Rosebud (11/1), Poetic Choice (12/1), Evies Wish (16/1), Saint Irini (33/1)

The likable QUEEN RABAB has been solid and consistent in two of her last three starts including a win at Limerick last month and can make good use of the 7lb advantage over the improving Raintree. My Silver Nails has finished a game third on her last two starts and may have to settle for a place again here while Evie's Wish deserves consideration.
