Marthas & The Ritz Bar (Ladies) Maiden

Off time: 20:05 | Winning time: 3m 42.30s

Hidden Diamond¹⁰⁵

Age: 14| Weight: 11-0| J: Ms M Kelly⁽⁷⁾| T: Ms M Kelly| OR: 38

100/1

Just the one chase win from 38 career starts and without success in six runs on the Flat. Veteran unlikely to play a part in the finish here.

Form: 069/06-8

Rock On Bach²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss S Ahern⁽⁷⁾| T: T Cummins| OR: 42

100/1

37-race maiden who is without a win in four starts on the Flat. Last of seven beaten 23L at Killarney over 1m6f last month and impossible to fancy here.

Form: 5709/07

Tornado Watch¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss R Dudfield⁽⁷⁾| T: E Mullins| OR: 81| CD

6/4

Good second behind Slipper Sergeant at Leopardstown last month before disappointing behind Nessun Dorma at the Galway festival earlier this month. Better than that performance and worth a market check here.

Form: 2227

Ask Susan²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Miss L A Hourigan⁽⁵⁾| T: J W Nicholson| OR: 72| CD

4/1

Without a win in three starts on the Flat but the daughter of Ask won a bumper here two years ago on heavy ground. Still in winning ways this term and likely to go well here.

Form: 42-7

Classic Theatre²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Miss M O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: H De Bromhead| CD

4/1

Winner of her last two chase starts in July when landing victory justifying favouritism on each occasion. Won a bumper here just over 12-months ago beating 13 rivals over this trip. Open to plenty of improvement.

Form:

Conduct Yourself²⁶⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Miss J M Cook⁽⁷⁾| T: J E Kiely| CD

14/1

Well held in three career bumper starts over three years ago and is easily resistible on return to the track for the first time since December.

Form:

Frazel Express¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Miss A Fahey⁽⁷⁾| T: Peter Fahey| CD

25/1

Winner of a bumper here over two years ago beating 14 rivals justifying favouritism in the process. Modest maiden hurdler since and is hard to fancy on latest evidence.

Form:

Screaming Rose¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Jodie Townend⁽⁷⁾| T: W P Mullins| D

3/1

Won on debut for the yard in a Galway bumper over 2m on good ground back in 2015. Not ruled out but a number of below par runs to shake off.

Forecasts

Tornado Watch (6/4), Screaming Rose (3/1), Classic Theatre (4/1), Ask Susan (4/1), Conduct Yourself (14/1), Frazel Express (25/1), Rock On Bach (100/1), Hidden Diamond (100/1)

CLASSIC THEATER from the Henry De Bromhead yard can land the closing race of the meeting here. The six-year-old winner of her last two chase starts in July when justifying favouritism on each occasion can see off the attentions of Ask Susan, Hidden Diamond and potential improver, Tornado Watch.
