She's My Dream^b1⁹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Ross Coakley⁽³⁾| T: J M Oxx| OR: 62

5/2

Running well in defeat when hitting the frame in a couple of handicap starts when last seen in November. Returns to action in first-time blinkers and one of the more likely types.

Rain Or Shine²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Declan McDonogh| T: C O'Brien| OR: 60

10/3

Ran well on return from a 108 day break when finishing fifth of 14 beaten 2½L here over 7f last month. Should be among the leading players on handicap debut.

Form: 07-5

Libras Power^b¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Shane Foley| T: M Halford| OR: 57

6/1

Not disgraced in four maiden starts to date including a 7½L defeat over C&D last month when finishing fourth of 13 in first-time blinkers. Has to be respected from leading yard at this venue.

Form: 54-84

Ifyouhaveaminute⁸⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Wayne Lordan| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 55

10/1

Four race maiden tried over various trips only to be well held on each occasion. Drops in trip from 1m here with any market move worth noting.

Olwen's Dream^h1⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K J Manning| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 54

40/1

Well held and nothing of note in all five career starts for Katy Brown before a 11½L defeat on stable debut here over 7f last month. Needs to bounce back in a big way to have a say here in first-time hood.

Form: 40060-0

Ice Bullet¹³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: N G McCullagh| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 45

7/4

Nothing of note in three disappointing maiden starts between August and October last year. Probably best watched on handicap debut unless the market suggests otherwise.

Form: 090-

Tessiesee⁹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Nathan Crosse⁽⁷⁾| T: A Mulholland| OR: 45

25/1

Shaped with some promise on her first couple of starts but paid for a sloppy start at Bellewstown before a heavy defeat when last seen here over C&D in November. Easy to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Ice Bullet (7/4), She's My Dream (5/2), Rain Or Shine (10/3), Libras Power (6/1), Ifyouhaveaminute (10/1), Halcyon Gal (14/1), Tessiesee (25/1), Olwen's Dream (40/1)

While Halcyon Gal and Libras Power could be of interest making their handicap debuts, the John Oxx-trained SHE'S MY DREAM can get off the mark for connections at the sixth time of asking to land the spoils on her third handicap start. Potential improver Rain Or Shine from the Charles O'Brien yard and Ifyouhaveaminute look capable of hitting the frame.
