Mooborak⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: L F Roche| T: P J Flynn| OR: 45

Three poor runs in maidens. Starts life in handicap company off a lowly mark but needs a good jolt of improvement to be involved.

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: A C Persse⁽¹⁰⁾| T: P F McEnery| OR: 45

40/1

Beaten a very long way on handicap debut over a mile at Naas last month, since finished 9½L seventh of 11 behind Power Drive upped to 1m2f at the same track. Hard to be confident.

Forecasts

Cache Queen (5/2), Eos (7/2), Power Drive (4/1), Greengage (13/2), Conquest (8/1), Survival Mode (10/1), So Enjoy (12/1), Mooborak (16/1), Havingagoodtime (20/1), Kilcoran (25/1), Sovereigns Rock (40/1)

Eos was good winner of a claimer on the sand at Dundalk last week and will come here in good heart but she was previously beaten by POWER DRIVE at Naas. Charles O'Brien's runner was starting in a handicap for the first time there and has plenty scope for further improvement. So Enjoy is likely to relish the longer trip here and joins Cache Queen, in decent form of late on turf, in rounding out the shortlist.
