Dawn Omega Milk Handicap Chase (0-102)

Off time: 16:25 | Winning time: 4m 59.7s

Robin De Roost^p¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: J M Moore| T: T Gibney| OR: 102

8/1

Winner of his last two outings in 2017, including by a neck at Wexford (good) over 2m4f. May have needed the run there on reappearance and should be fitter now.

Form: 80/11F-P

Coolbane West^p⁴¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: A E Lynch| T: W J Burke| OR: 100

20/1

Well beaten but not disgraced in a number of handicap chases last year and would have finished closer if not for a shuddering mistake at the last on return to the track at Limerick in May, didn't come forward in one run since. More needed.

Form: 4485-66

Double Windsor^b¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean Flanagan| T: D M O'Brien| OR: 97

7/1

Scored in previous two starts at Clonmel and Wexford, showing good attitude in doing so, no reason not to mount strong challenge in hat-trick attempt.

Form: 8-P9U11

Not For You⁴³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: D J McInerney⁽³⁾| T: C Byrnes| OR: 97

8/1

Yet to open his account in 17 attempts over these obstacles, has run well enough at times but yet to match best form this season.

Form: 234/2-F7

Swift³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Katie O'Farrell⁽⁵⁾| T: J W Nicholson| OR: 94

8/1

Finished third over C&D in May, form that would entitle him to be in the mix for this competitive event. Worth a second glance.

Form: F42-356

Fairymount Boy⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: A W Short⁽⁵⁾| T: M Hourigan| OR: 88| BF

5/2

In decent form lately, winning at Downpatrick in between runner-up finishes. Up in trip after latest Limerick effort and likely can go well.

Form: 255-212

Invincible Don¹³

Age: 10| Weight: 10-12| J: M A Enright| T: J Morrison| OR: 88

16/1

Without a win in 14 starts now and tough to summon confidence on the back poor showing at Wexford already this month.

Form: 0770-79

Model Cloud¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Brian Hayes| T: M Winters| OR: 88

7/1

Winner on previous chase start at Tramore, has a 7lb penalty for his troubles but shaped well enough over timber since. Not out of it.

Form: 5P-5517

Jonathan Wild^p⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 10-10| J: R P Treacy⁽³⁾| T: E McNamara| OR: 86

40/1

Maiden after 27 attempts, has all sorts of ground to make up on Fairymount Boy from recent clash and looks to remain very much up against it.

Form: 5PB5U-7

Black Jewel^p⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: B Browne⁽⁵⁾| T: P W Flynn| OR: 85

25/1

Three poor runs on his CV this season already and very tough to make a case for a revival in this heat.

Form: 709P-00

Old Supporter¹³

Age: 13| Weight: 10-8| J: M J Bolger| T: Ms H P Markham| OR: 84| CD

50/1

Teenager now and recent signs suggest wear and tear having their toll. Looks best passed over again.

Form: 465-P0P

Bold Frost^p1⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-4| J: Danny Mullins| T: Bernard Crowley| OR: 80

14/1

Cheekpieces are added here in bid to perk him up but has struggled in all four 2018 outings so far, including this month at Roscommon.

Form: 09006-0

Ballykea Star⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: K J Brouder| T: F J Flood| OR: 79

50/1

0-3 record over these obstacles and remains a maiden after 12 starts under rules in total, with very little in the form book that would rank as encouraging.

Form: 00P97-8

Caoimhe Diva^t³³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-1| J: Phillip Enright| T: D Howard| OR: 77

33/1

12-race maiden, plenty to find with Fairymount Boy on last month's Downpatrick meeting and while longer trip is a plus, doesn't look capable of turning form around.

Form: 776P-P7

Jamesmicheal²⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Darragh O'Keeffe⁽⁷⁾| T: J Brassil| OR: 76

8/1

Fair fifth at Clonmel on reappearance, stamina questions to answer here if getting a run (First Reserve).

Form: 0008-50

Forecasts

Fairymount Boy (5/2), Model Cloud (7/1), Double Windsor (7/1), Not For You (8/1), Jamesmicheal (8/1), Robin De Roost (8/1), Swift (8/1), Bold Frost (14/1), Invincible Don (16/1), Coolbane West (20/1), Black Jewel (25/1), Kilderry Prince (33/1), Caoimhe Diva (33/1), Jonathan Wild (40/1), Old Supporter (50/1), Ballykea Star (50/1)

DOUBLE WINDSOR is in super form right now and can go ahead and complete the hat-trick despite climbing another 7lb in the rating for his latest win. Fairymount Boy is feared, he isn't the easiest to work with but has been in good tune of late and will be close again in the same mood. Robin De Roost should improve for the reappearance while Swift was third over C&D in May and could be capable back here again.
