5/1

Solid type who has landed two of his last four starts including over this trip at Navan last month. Generally well down the field in three starts here and may need to improve to have a say here.

Form: 0-31213

Northern Surprise^b⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Gary Halpin| T: T Doyle| OR: 61| CD

20/1

Have to go back to 2016 to find the last time he visited the winners enclosure. C&D winner back in December 2015 off a 15lb higher mark. Liable to find one of two quicker here again.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: E J McNamara| T: J C McConnell| OR: 59

33/1

Modest 81-rated handicapper for James Tate and has only lost-ground for current yard. Hard to fancy until showing hints of ability.

10/1

C&D winner who won over 7f on his last visit here beating 13 rivals and Texas Radio in to second in May off a 1lb lower mark. One to consider back at this track.

Military Hill^b¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Billy Lee| T: A McGuinness| OR: 57| D

5/1

Gutsy gelding who deserves a change of luck following a series of narrow defeats last month. Placed here on a number of occasions and each way claims back on this surface.

Form: 883553

Nisior Donn⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Rory Cleary| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 53

13/2

Well held in AW maiden at Dundalk in March on stable debut before a couple near misses at Gowran Park and Bellewstown recently. Likely to improve and worth considering.

Form: 0/7-362

Shelbe¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Colin Keane| T: S Wilson| OR: 53| C

7/1

Course winner over 5f and has largely been disappointing since. Others look more convincing at this level.

Ragtime Red^t²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: O J Orr⁽⁵⁾| T: A McCann| OR: 61

8/1

Ran with promise on his most recent starts here over C&D. Well down the field on turf since but one for the shortlist back on this surface.

Form: 328600

Darvie³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Karen Kenny⁽⁷⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 50

33/1

Below par 57-rated handicapper for trainer-David Barron and has been well beaten on first starts for new connections in a couple of disappointing efforts recently.

Form: 2743-90

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Andrew Slattery⁽⁷⁾| T: P F McEnery| OR: 50| C

20/1

Course winner over 7f in November off a 5lb lower mark. Second of 17 beaten ¾L at Cork last month on good to firm ground. May find it tough going here.

Form: 9-84892

Tyrconnell^t1,v1³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: C P Hoban| T: S Lynam| OR: 48

20/1

Hints of promise last time out at Listowel and first time visor unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

Pedisnap (5/1), Military Hill (5/1), Markhan (11/2), Nisior Donn (13/2), Shelbe (7/1), Beau Satchel (8/1), Ragtime Red (8/1), Boxer Dunford (10/1), Survival Mode (12/1), Turn On The Tears (14/1), Aunty Audrey (16/1), Tyrconnell (20/1), Tynamite (20/1), Northern Surprise (20/1), Mostawfee (25/1), Darvie (33/1), Ocean Air (33/1)

BEAU SATCHEL is a C&D winner with solid and consistent form over this trip since early last month hitting the frame in a couple of big field handicaps and could possibly claim his third win at this venue now back on a winning mark. The Adrian McGuinness-trained Military Hill, Markham, in first-time cheekpieces and Nisior Donn can battle for the places, while the competitive Boxer Dunford is deserving of consideration.
