Path Of Silver^p²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: O J Orr⁽⁵⁾| T: R Brabazon| OR: 61| CD

6/1

Former C&D winner, showed himself to be in good fettle when scoring over this trip at Down Royal last month and should deliver another challenge.

Form: 14-0761

Rosin Box⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Colin Keane| T: J J Murphy| OR: 61| CD

13/2

Another former C&D winner but was poor last time out in a race won by Texas Radio at Gowran Park over this trip and needs to recapture something approaching best form to land this.

Form: 20-0090

Curly Girl⁹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: M A Gallagher| T: J Feane| OR: 60

20/1

Poor when last spotted 90 days ago on the AW at Dundalk, has since changed yards, ensuring a betting check is likely the best guide to what is anticipated back on turf.

Form: 4644-60

Turn On The Tears^b1,t⁹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: K J Manning| T: W Durkan| OR: 60

28/1

Filly was beaten just ½L over C&D in April on return from short break under champion apprentice. First-time blinkers may assist here on return from another short break, with booking of Manning a positive.

Form: 324-739

Texas Radio^p⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Lee| T: J Feane| OR: 58| D

4/1

Winner at Gowran Park last month, holding some of these on that form, run well in both starts since from increased mark and needs maximum respect once again.

Form: 265133

Stamp Of Authority^t¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Karen Kenny⁽⁷⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 57| D

14/1

Snapped a long losing run when making all in a low-grade 1m handicap at Bellewstown this month, but faces a much stiffer task at this level of competition, and not easy to envisage a follow-up success.

Form: 689-021

(14)

Paved With Gold^b⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: N G McCullagh| T: J J Murphy| OR: 54| D

12/1

One win from 18 career starts and that came in 2016 but he's below his last winning mark and has run well lately, though did throw in a poor one last time at Gowran Park in first-time blinkers (retained).

Form: 26-9929

Dreams Of Winter³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Declan McDonogh| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 49

16/1

Lightly-raced maiden, eighth of 11 in maiden at Limerick (1m, good) on first start for this yard last month. Makes handicap debut now, possible improver.

Form: 000-8

(3)

Night Law^p²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: T P Madden| T: Barry J Murphy| OR: 48| BF

12/1

Gone a while without winning but plenty to admire when good third of 12 in handicap at Sligo (7f, soft) four weeks ago in first start for Barry Murphy. Chance if rediscovering old form.

Form: 000-933

(12)

Althib⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 45

14/1

Well held at Roscommon eight days ago, in keeping with most of his recent efforts. Would rate as a surprise winner.

Form: 329975

Aunty Audrey³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Ben Coen⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Flynn| OR: 45| BF| D

13/2

Two good efforts at Cork and Gowran Park recently came over longer trip than this one, poor last month however when dropped to an extended-mile back at the Mallow track. Booking of good 7lb claimer can help.

Form: 5-08430

(5)

Emperor Bob^b³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: Ronan Whelan| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 45

8/1

His last win which came on the beach at Laytown in 2016 in a claimer ending a long losing run. Reduced mark a positive but others preferred.

Form: 3407-09

Hard Times²²³

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: Killian Leonard⁽³⁾| T: F Costello| OR: 45| D

33/1

Just the two wins from 43 Flat runs up until now, was well held on the AW at Dundalk last time comes back from seven months off for this, entitled to need the run.

Mzuri^b¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: Shane Foley| T: A McGuinness| OR: 45| BF

16/1

Ran well on her seasonal reappearance at Naas last month, not beaten far although never threatened to win it either. No improvement since at Bellewstown and no win in 34 starts is enough to suggest looking elsewhere.

Form: 5300-45

Voyageofdiscovery¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Wayne Lordan| T: T J O'Mara| OR: 58| D

20/1

Smooth travelling sort who is back on a workable handicap mark. Best form has come with a little more cut in the ground than what he gets here though (Third Reserve).

Form: 65-8044

Forecasts

Texas Radio (4/1), Path Of Silver (6/1), Rosin Box (13/2), Aunty Audrey (13/2), Emperor Bob (8/1), Night Law (12/1), Paved With Gold (12/1), Amazing One (12/1), Stamp Of Authority (14/1), Althib (14/1), Cracking Name (14/1), Dreams Of Winter (16/1), Mzuri (16/1), Nam (16/1), Curly Girl (20/1), Voyageofdiscovery (20/1), Turn On The Tears (28/1), Hard Times (33/1)

TEXAS RADIO was a winner last month at Gowran Park and has gone well enough in both starts since to suggest he'll be in there pitching for this prize. Former C&D winner Path Of Silver shaped nicely last time and enters calculations while Amazing One, Turn On The Tears and Night Law are all worth considering.
