Machiavelli¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: R Coakley⁽³⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 62

14/1

Dropping very quickly in the handicap after a couple of poor efforts here last two starts. Will find this easier but hard to have much confidence in him at present.

Form: 422-978

So Enjoy²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: D E Mullins| T: J Nash| OR: 61

20/1

Still a maiden after 16 starts, and that's an obvious concern, but didn't run badly over hurdles at Naas in February and if she can translate that back to the Flat here, she's well enough handicapped to think she has a squeak.

Exclusive Waters¹⁴²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-12| J: S Foley| T: G Donnelly| OR: 60

16/1

Winner off a mark of 60 at Newcastle last August, but nothing since then and now has first start for new yard. Trip fine but probably still a bit high in the handicap and may need this after an absence. Best watched.

Latchet⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Luke McAteer⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Bolger| OR: 60| BF| C

9/1

Worth a go over this trip after the way she's finished her races off over 7f/1m recently, winner here in January and has been mildly progressive so if this trip ekes a bit more out of her, she will have her chance.

Ragtime Red^t⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Colin Keane| T: A McCann| OR: 60| CD

7/2

C&D winner here in January and although she ran badly the time after, she came back to form when a close third last time put. On the same mark here so obvious chance if he's in the same mood.

Form: 563-103

Sharjah^b⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-8| J: A J Slattery⁽⁷⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 56| CD

9/1

Best run for a while when second over 12f here last time out, and this drop back in trip shouldn't be a problem, Looks about ready to score again and has chances from a very fair mark.

Form: 945662

Invincible Queen^p¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M Fahey| OR: 54

4/1

Came back off a break to run a close second here last time out, battling on well after being headed and showing a decent attitude. Just the one win in 21 starts is a worry, but she has place chances if putting her best foot forward again.

Form: 62265-2

Lizard Point¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: C P Hoban| T: P J Flynn| OR: 54| CD

5/1

Made almost all to beat Invincible Queen here last time out, travelling well on the front end and staying on well. 5lb worse off today but looked a better horse once the blinkers removed then, so could yet improve again.

Form: 45255-1

Miss Louise⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: K J Leonard⁽³⁾| T: Mrs D A Love| OR: 53| C

8/1

Found some form from nowhere when a 20-1 winner over 12f here last time out, winning with plenty in hand. Drop back in trip likely to be no issue with a solid pace guaranteed, and could be it's just clicked with her now.

Form: 03947-1

Wild Shot^t⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: O J Orr⁽³⁾| T: N C Kelly| OR: 51| BF| C

8/1

Stayed on to finish a well beaten fifth here last time out but others are more progressive and this looks a tough ask. Possibly better at shorter too.

Form: 383-625

(3)

Groovy Jazz^p1⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: G M Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: L Comer| OR: 50

20/1

Going nowhere quickly at present and the addition of cheekpieces tonight will need to have a major effect on him if he's to beat some in-form rivals.

Form: 080-697

(8)

Rise Again^p¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: N G McCullagh| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 45

25/1

Just the one win to her name, that coming back in 2017, but moderate form since then and addition of cheekpieces did little last time out. Plenty to find on form and held by a few of these.

Forecasts

Ragtime Red (7/2), Invincible Queen (4/1), Lizard Point (5/1), New Vocation (13/2), Wild Shot (8/1), Miss Louise (8/1), Latchet (9/1), Sharjah (9/1), Machiavelli (14/1), Exclusive Waters (16/1), Groovy Jazz (20/1), So Enjoy (20/1), Rise Again (25/1)

LIZARD POINT looked a happier horse once the headgear was removed on his latest start and may be able to progress again. He can take the finale at the expense of Miss Louise, another to find some form on her latest start, and Ragtime Road.
