Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr P Rogan⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Bolger| OR: 44

20/1

Rated just 44 on turf and well beaten in handicaps the last twice. More needed stepping up markedly in distance.

Form: 70-5300

Davids Charm¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr W T Cronin⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Walsh

3/1

Handicap hurdle winner on soft ground in December and likely to have improved for his fifth at Ballinrobe (1m5f, good) on seasonal debut last time.

Form: 0-5

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins| BF

7/2

Placed over hurdles in 2017 but absent since pulling up at Kilbeggan 13 months ago. Worth a check in the market for a top jumps yard on Flat debut.

In fair form over hurdles last season finishing 15L sixth over 2m4f on soft ground here in December when making his most recent appearance. Market support would be interesting on Flat debut.

33/1

Maiden after 17 starts under all codes and well held on Flat debut at Ballinrobe (1m5f, good) last time out. Others hold stronger claims.

Forecasts

Tornado Watch (13/8), Davids Charm (3/1), Kolumbus (7/2), Slippery Serpent (5/1), Cashless (20/1), Talsara (33/1), Good To Flow (33/1)

TORNADO WATCH brings some decent maiden form into this event and he can get off the mark at the third time of asking on the Flat in the concluding maiden event. Kolumbus is returning from over a year off but showed some decent form over hurdles for this yard and can finish runner-up on his debut in this sphere while Davids Charm can improve on his fifth last time out by claiming fourth.
