4/1

13-race maiden, returned from a short break with an improved effort in 7f Dundalk maiden this month, going down a neck. Player on that effort.

Noble Kingsway⁷¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Dylan Hogan⁽⁷⁾| T: K H Clarke| OR: 58

33/1

Has run his best races at Dundalk so far, turf form is not of the standard required and hard to make a case for.

Form: 8-36000

Cagey²⁹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Robbie Colgan| T: Thomas Coyle

25/1

Third of seven in a 6f Maisons Laffitte maiden in May for John Hammond before arriving in this country. Well held over this trip at Dundalk on stable bow in November and off since.

Form: 37-

Desert Grey^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: J A Heffernan| T: D Hogan| OR: 61

20/1

20-race maiden in both codes with a regressive profile, beaten 16L+ this month at Gowran Park over 1m1½f. Up against it down in distance.

Form: 200-300

Lady Godiva^t⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D O'Brien| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 67

3/1

Has been nudging up the weights without winning and finished midfield in a big Galway handicap this month with encouraging run before failing to sustain an effort at Killarney (1m, good) six days ago.

Annagassan¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: D N Curran⁽¹⁰⁾| T: S M Duffy| OR: 27

100/1

Long-standing maiden appears to be devoid of ability and nothing to change that theory in two runs since joining this yard. Easily overlooked.

Form: 50-0008

(4)

Sally Gap²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁵⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 56

33/1

Just one placed effort in her 14 career starts to date. Hints of ability on occasions but latest efforts at Down Royal and the Curragh have been well short of what is needed.

Form: 60-0600

Akua³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: O J Orr⁽³⁾| T: E Lynam| OR: 70

10/3

Decent third of 17 in 1m1½f maiden at Gowran Park last month. Was coming off 273 days off there, going down 6L and shaping as if needing the run. Interesting to see if it is built on.

Form: 6650-3

Gifted Lady¹¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Sean Davis⁽⁷⁾| T: D P Dunne| OR: 35

66/1

Lifetime record of 0-25 doesn't inspire confidence, and she has been place on only two of those starts. Makes little appeal.

Form: 5007-05

Paul Patterson^v⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Ronan Whelan| T: P J Prendergast

50/1

Approve gelding out of a Groom Dancer mare. Cost €10,000 as a juvenile. Sported a first-time visor on belated racecourse debut at Roscommon and trailed home last of 15.

Form: 0

Mountjubilee²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Nathan Crosse⁽⁷⁾| T: W McCreery| OR: 63

10/1

Born To Sea filly showed some ability in three qualifying runs, including over a mile here last month, but no improvement evident on handicap bow at Galway over extended-mile early this month.

Form: 0530

(7)

Nite Irene¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: M A Gallagher| T: Barry J Murphy

100/1

Society Rock filly, half-sister to two winners including a Listed winner. Hasn't been much home in two big-field events at the Curragh and Dundalk over 7f/1m and needs to improve plenty here.

Form: 00

(5)

Zalzar²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 64

9/2

Showed some promise in a trio of a maidens last year over 6f/7f. Perhaps will have needed run on handicap bow at Leopardstown (1m, good to firm) this month and may have more to say returned to maiden company.

Form: 657-0

(14)

Bonnington Lass^h1,t⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Chris Hayes| T: D Marnane| OR: 39

33/1

Eight-race maiden, yet to make the frame and looks an unlikely sort after poor efforts at Fairyhouse, Leopardstown and Killarney this summer.

Form: 707-907

Forecasts

Lady Godiva (3/1), Akua (10/3), Kendwar (4/1), Zalzar (9/2), Dubai Rainbow (8/1), Mountjubilee (10/1), Desert Grey (20/1), Cagey (25/1), Lady Savanah (25/1), Bonnington Lass (33/1), Sally Gap (33/1), Noble Kingsway (33/1), Paul Patterson (50/1), Gifted Lady (66/1), Nite Irene (100/1), Annagassan (100/1)

Akua made a decent return to action at Gowran Park last month and could play a prominent role here with some improvement for it. Lady Godiva has also shown promise, though not in her most recent start, while Kendwar can be given claims on a better effort at Dundalk. ZALZAR has shown promise in maidens previously and may have more to say now having shaped as if needing the run in a Leopardstown handicap recently.
