Kerosin^p⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: K J Manning| T: D Hogan| OR: 89| C

7/1

One from eight at this venue but without success in five starts over C&D. Has been running well in a couple of starts since the turn of the year and should be a leading contender in this company.

Form: 514-352

(3)

Chess Grand Master⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: D O'Brien| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 88| CD

3/1

Winner over C&D last month of a maiden contest before notching another success over 2m earlier this month. Leading player given the yard hold a 37% win and place strike rate in mid February at the track in the last three seasons.

Form: 6-11

(5)

Park Row⁴²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: R Coakley⁽³⁾| T: D P Coakley| OR: 84| CD

7/1

Produces impressive figures of three wins from 10 over C&D and has won four of his last eight starts. More needed in this company but holds major place claims here.

Form: 11246-1

(4)

See Of Rome¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: S Foley| T: D English| OR: 81

10/1

Has hit the frame in one of his three visits to this venue, finishing third of 13 over 1m4f in November before finishing fourth of seven over 1m2½f earlier this month. Could find one or two better handicapped sorts in the race.

Form: 09123-4

Tooreen Legend^p,t⁵⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: G M Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: E J O'Grady| OR: 81| CD

8/1

Rakti gelding not seen on the track since December but boasts a record of three wins from seven starts over C&D. Not won since returning from a three year sabbatical in November and hasn't shown enough to be of interest.

Form: 21/8072-

(9)

Political Policy^p,t⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: Gary Carroll| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 77| CD

10/1

Winner of one of his 12 starts over C&D and has mostly been seen competing over further recently. Can go well but may find one or two better suited to today's conditions.

Form: 220-453

(11)

Touch Of Gold⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: K J Leonard⁽³⁾| T: M Kennedy| OR: 77| CD

20/1

Landed a double here over 1m2½f in October before a win over C&D in November. Well held in a couple of starts since and makes little appeal in this contest.

Form: 051107-

(10)

Moonmeister^t¹⁰⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 8-11| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A J Martin| OR: 74| CD

10/1

Gutsy and genuine sort who is a winner of three of his eight starts over C&D but has been off the track since November. Possibly best watched on return unless the market suggests otherwise.

Form: 06/9848-

(1)

Trevena¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: C P Hoban| T: D Hogan| OR: 75| D

4/1

Useful 75-rated handicapper on the Flat for trainer Ed Dunlop including a win over 1m4f in September. Plenty to like about her second of seven here earlier this month over 1m2½f and appears to hold strong claims.

Form: 95141-2

(2)

California Lad^t,v²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: M A Gallagher| T: F Birrane| OR: 71| C

6/1

Without a win in five starts over C&D and is 14 starts without troubling the judge. Signs of improvement last time out over 1m4f last month but needs to produce more consistency in his races.

Form: 09260-2

(6)

Lusis Naturea⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 8-4| J: A J Farragher⁽⁷⁾| T: Caroline Mccaldin| OR: 67| C

25/1

Dual course winner though without success in four starts over C&D. On a long losing run currently and needs to bounce back in a big way to have a say.

Form: 9090/76

Forecasts

Chess Grand Master (3/1), Trevena (4/1), California Lad (6/1), Park Row (7/1), Kerosin (7/1), Tooreen Legend (8/1), Political Policy (10/1), Moonmeister (10/1), See Of Rome (10/1), Touch Of Gold (20/1), Lusis Naturea (25/1)

The Denis Hogan-trained Trevena went in to many notebooks following a solid second of seven beaten a short head on stable debut and is sure to be popular in the betting here but may find stiff opposition from the Joseph O'Brien-trained CHESS GRAND MASTER who comes here on a hat-trick of wins. C&D winners Park Row, Moonmeister and Political Policy are capable of hitting the frame.
