Batts Rock^t¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Ms L O'Neill⁽³⁾| T: G Elliott| OR: 90| D

7/2

Made a winning debut for this yard last time out and there's every chance he can come on for that run. Leading player from 6lb higher if he does.

Form: 75244-1

(6)

See Of Rome⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Miss L A Hourigan⁽⁵⁾| T: D English| OR: 74

12/1

Won a maiden at Salisbury when trained by Richard Hughes but hasn't won since and well beaten at Goodwood last month. Makes his debut for a new yard now and likely to have wanted some cut in the ground.

Form: 46-0486

(8)

Less Of That^p³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Miss E McCutcheon⁽⁷⁾| T: J Feane| OR: 70

14/1

Gained a second career success at Tipperary on heavy ground in May. Held her form reasonably well since then and had excuses last time out at Limerick. More needed from this mark but not without place claims.

Form: 56-4137

(5)

Crafted Jewel^t1³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Miss H Mooney⁽⁷⁾| T: S Lavery| OR: 69

5/1

Won her maiden at Cork in 2016 but hasn't won since including four starts for this yard. Needs to find improvement for the step up in trip here.

Form: 497-736

(3)

Here For The Craic^p¹⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 9-12| J: Ms A Budds⁽⁷⁾| T: D Budds| OR: 69

16/1

Not won for nearly two years now and his two efforts this time around have been below par. Perhaps getting a little long in the tooth and may need more relief from the handicapper.

Form: 65-4205

(2)

Minnie Dahill¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Jodie Townend⁽⁷⁾| T: T M Walsh| OR: 68

3/1

Gained a first Flat success last time out when an easy winner over 1m7f at Bellewstown earlier in the month. Has to be a player here provided she doesn't get caught out by the drop in trip.

Form: 65-251

(9)

Dasmyhoss³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Miss Serena Brotherton| T: R P McNamara| OR: 67

2/1

Bumper winner but yet to score on the Flat. Improve efforts this time around though and gets a leading amateur jockey in the saddle. Not ruled out back in trip here.

Form: 8573-24

(4)

Stay With Me^b³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Miss S Ahern⁽⁷⁾| T: D Bunyan & G O'Leary| OR: 64

25/1

Showed some ability on first two starts this year but not so good last time when conditions were quicker and that would have to be a concern again. Likely to struggle from out of the handicap.

Form: 96-440

Forecasts

Dasmyhoss (2/1), Minnie Dahill (3/1), Batts Rock (7/2), Crafted Jewel (5/1), See Of Rome (12/1), Breathe Easy (12/1), Less Of That (14/1), Here For The Craic (16/1), Inis Meain (16/1), Stay With Me (25/1)

BATTS ROCK was impressive on debut for this yard last time out and he could be worth siding with again given that he's up just 6lb for that success. Minnie Dahill can't be ruled out if she gets a decent gallop here after her win over further last time while Less Of That has been in good form and rates as an each-way option.
