Insane Bolt¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Shane Kelly⁽³⁾| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 65

20/1

By Slade Power out of an Indian Ridge mare. Produced a number of laboured runs in two career starts in the Autumn and showed no signs of improvement in a 12½L defeat at Navan on seasonal debut at the end of last month.

Form: 00-0

Paris Duvet⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Wayne Lordan| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 64

11/2

Running well in defeat in a couple of starts on the AW at Dundalk since the turn of the year. Capable of having her say here is transferring encouraging runs on to turf.

Form: 0-26

Aneczka¹⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: O J Orr⁽³⁾| T: C Cannon| OR: 63

16/1

Finished 13th of 14 in first two starts at Dundalk but dramatic improvement switched to turf as she ran a most creditable sixth of 16 over this trip at Leopardstown when last seen in October. Worth a market check on seasonal bow.

Form: 006-

Paistiul³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger| OR: 63

8/1

Dawn Approach filly dam a winner and half-sister to a Listed winner. Not disgraced in a couple of career starts last summer at Limerick and the Curragh. Wasn't hard pressed when seventh of 13 on seasonal return at Dundalk last month and one to watch

Form: 66-7

(2)

Faerie Laws¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: W J Lee| T: W McCreery| OR: 61

13/2

Lawman filly out of a Bachelor Duke mare. Well held when never nearer on disappointing debut over 1m here on debut in October. Well held since but could be of interest in the market on handicap debut.

Form: 00-8

Dandy Belle²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Chris Hayes| T: R O'Brien| OR: 60

9/2

Dandy Man filly purchased for €11,000 at the sales as a yearling. Sending out mixed messages in August and September last year in five inconsistent starts on turf. But a couple of C&D runs do catch the eye.

Form: 52269-6

Treasure Vale^b²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Ben Coen⁽⁵⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 59

10/1

€10,000 foal, Vale of York gelding. Dam was a two-year-o old 6f/7f winner. Six race maiden who will need to improve on below-par run on seasonal debut at Cork on Sunday, well beaten 11th of 18.

Form: 79658-0

Knockgraffon Lass¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: M Dos Santos| T: M J Byrne| OR: 54

50/1

Kodiac filly out of a Ad Valorem mare and is a half-sister to juvenile 7f winner Leeshaan. Well held on three career starts to date including on seasonal debut last month in a Naas 6f maiden. Needs to improve significantly on handicap debut.

Form: 50-0

Magi Gal^t¹³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Siobhan Rutledge⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 48

25/1

Magician filly. Dam unraced half-sister to useful winner up to 1m4f Bucintoro. Yet to start at odds of less than 33/1 and has run accordingly in three career runs to date. Hard to make a case for her on handicap debut.

Form: 080-

(8)

Gin Bramble¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: L F Roche| T: A Oliver| OR: 46

28/1

Filly by Fast Company out of a Dance Brightly mare. Well beaten when finishing down the field in three career starts to date including a 19th of 20 at Naas last month. Looks a tall order.

Form: 00-0

Ice Bullet⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: N G McCullagh| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 46

3/1

Well backed in to 7/4f when landing a Dundalk 6f handicap on the AW when last seen in February following a number of dismal efforts last year. Likely more to come and not to be taken lightly.

Form: 090-1

(5)

Irregardless¹³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Rory Cleary| T: D Kinsella| OR: 45

50/1

Five-race maiden by Requito out of an Efisio mare who is yet to start a race at odds of less than 25/1 running accordingly on each occasion. May find this a tough assignment.

Form: 08009-

Meryems Way¹⁶⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: K J Leonard⁽³⁾| T: P Martin| OR: 45

25/1

Established as a poor performer, but has found her level, and stayed on late when 4½L third of 11 to So Familiar in a 6f nursery at Cork before more encouragement at Navan when last seen in October. Step back up in trip a negative.

Forecasts

Ice Bullet (3/1), Dandy Belle (9/2), Paris Duvet (11/2), Faerie Laws (13/2), Paistiul (8/1), Asanda (8/1), Treasure Vale (10/1), Belle Cora (10/1), Aneczka (16/1), Insane Bolt (20/1), Chagall (20/1), Meryems Way (25/1), Magi Gal (25/1), Gin Bramble (28/1), Irregardless (50/1), Knockgraffon Lass (50/1)

A wide open competitive contest here which could easily produce a big price winner. DANDY BELLE ran well over C&D on a couple of occasions last summer and a repeat of that form should see the filly in the hunt to land the spoils here. Paris Duvet, Aneczka, Belle Cora, Paistiul, Asanda and Faerie Laws run within 3lbs of each other and all have credible claims.
