Zayriyan¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: R Coakley⁽³⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 65

25/1

Fit from hurdling when down the field here last month but hasn't had many goes on the Flat and this does represent a drop in class.

Form: 8237-6

(3)

Tenth Amendment^t¹³³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Robbie Colgan| T: K H Clarke| OR: 64

8/1

Bellewstown winner last summer. Not quite in the same form since and not the easiest to predict but claims on his best form.

Form: 8/31850-

Madame Delavanti²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Colin Keane| T: A McGuinness| OR: 59

16/1

Recent attempts at 1m4f haven't convinced that she wants to go that far and this drop in trip could help. Second start for current yard so could have more to come.

Form: 52544-0

Dayereh^t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Declan McDonogh| T: M M McNiff| OR: 54

10/1

Still a maiden after 14 runs and although latest run was better, others are preferred for win purposes.

Form: 4476-64

(2)

Invincible Queen^p,h1¹³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M Fahey| OR: 54

9/2

Only two previous goes on this surface so there could be more to come. Has tried different distances and this could be her optimum trip.

Form: 262265-

Spanish Dawn^h,t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Wayne Lordan| T: J C McConnell| OR: 54| BF| CD

3/1

Can give ground away at the start but in good heart at present at this venue which is more than can be said for many of her rivals, and a repeat of any of her last three runs will see her firmly in the mix.

Form: 9301-23

(7)

Alwarda⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: W J Lee| T: T Doyle| OR: 52| BF| C

3/1

Won here in December over 1m and probably ran up to that form when fourth on subsequent run. Stays this far on previous evidence and looks a solid contender.

Form: 63381-4

(11)

Mighty Jasper^t1⁹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: A J Slattery⁽⁷⁾| T: R Donohoe| OR: 50

14/1

No promise in trio of starts in maidens at big prices and first time tongue tie needs to transform him on handicap bow.

Form: 00/0-

(13)

Lizard Point¹³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: C P Hoban| T: P J Flynn| OR: 49

10/1

Given far too much to do when last seen in October. Has form on this surface despite still a maiden and if ready to go after his break would be a threat.

Form: 045255-

Pretty Little Liar²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: L F Roche| T: D P Dunne| OR: 48| CD

16/1

Won here last April and may have needed recent run after a lay off. Return to this trip is also in her favour and interesting, especially if the money comes for her.

Form: 0U/314-0

(6)

Realtog²²³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: K J Leonard⁽³⁾| T: P Tallis| OR: 47

66/1

Well beaten in three maidens including when stepped up to this trip on latest so plenty to prove on this handicap debut.

Form: 90/0-

(5)

Olly's Folly^p,h²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Siobhan Rutledge⁽¹⁰⁾| T: D Broad| OR: 45

25/1

Maiden who showed a touch more on latest but plenty more needed on this debut for current yard from 7lb out of the weights.

Form: 080-085

(10)

Shake The Bucket¹¹⁶

Age: 12| Weight: 8-8| J: T P Madden⁽³⁾| T: N Madden| OR: 45| CD

14/1

In the veteran stage but still capable at his best and second over 1m4f here in September showed there is still fire in the belly. Could go well at a price.

Form: 258525-

Forecasts

Spanish Dawn (3/1), Alwarda (3/1), Invincible Queen (9/2), Tenth Amendment (8/1), Lizard Point (10/1), Dayereh (10/1), Shake The Bucket (14/1), Mighty Jasper (14/1), Pretty Little Liar (16/1), Madame Delavanti (16/1), Zayriyan (25/1), Olly's Folly (25/1), Realtog (66/1)

Plenty of these have something to prove but at least SPANISH DAWN arrives in good heart and looks the most reliable on recent evidence. If ready to go after a little break Lizard Point could shake up the selection with Alwarda best of the rest.
