5/2

Dragon Pulse gelding, cost €35,000 as a yearling and €10,000 as a Breeze-up purchase. Off the mark at the third time of asking over C&D for connections earlier this month off a 3lb lower mark. Another bold bid expected.

Han Solo⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Colin Keane| T: A Leahy| OR: 63

7/2

Five-race maiden and without a win in two visits here since February running well in defeat on both occasions. May need a couple of these to falter but deserves a change of luck.

Form: 747-63

(4)

Treasure Vale^b¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Declan McDonogh| T: A Slattery| OR: 59

8/1

€10,000 foal, Vale of York gelding. Dam was a two-year-o old 6f/7f winner. Seven-race maiden but showed plenty of promise earlier this month finishing third of 13 beaten 3¼L at Gowran Park over 7f. Steps up in trip for polytrack debut.

Form: 9658-03

Gatsby Cap^p¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: A J Slattery⁽⁷⁾| T: J A Stack| OR: 54

6/1

Gale Force Ten colt out of a Shamardal mare. Just moderate form in five career starts four of which came here. Needs to step up on a 3¼L defeat when seventh of 13 over C&D in February.

Form: 87856

Ideal Pal²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Gary Carroll| T: M Mulvany| OR: 54

9/2

By Tough As Nails out of a dam placed at 7f-1m and over hurdles. Weakened inside final furlong on return to action following a break of five months eventually finishing sixth of 17 beaten over 7L in a Navan handicap last month.

Form: 02508-6

Indiana Grey⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: K J Leonard⁽³⁾| T: P Martin| OR: 51

14/1

Zebedee filly cost 6,000gns as a yearling. Without a win in five starts here and was well held on latest start over C&D last month finishing eighth of 10 beaten 6L. Looks opposable in current form.

Form: 7-0058

(3)

Magi Gal^t¹⁵

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

33/1

Magician filly. Dam unraced half-sister to useful winner up to 1m4f Bucintoro. Well held on sole start here over 6f in November and finished half way down the field on most recent start at Gowran Park earlier this month. Others preferred.

Form: 080-7

(9)

Guiding¹⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Chris Hayes| T: S Nolan| OR: 46

25/1

Filly by Most Improved out of a Xaar mare. Half-sister to French winner Tremont. Generally well held in six career starts to date including three visits to this venue. Will need to raise overall profile to get competitive.

Form: 000909-

(2)

Me Well^b1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: L F Roche| T: R Sweeney| OR: 46

8/1

Improved performances running here over 7f in January and March but was a never nearer 10th of 18 beaten 8½L in a Cork handicap earlier this month. Others make more appeal.

Form: 087-360

Forecasts

Duhallow Noelie (5/2), Han Solo (7/2), Ideal Pal (9/2), Gatsby Cap (6/1), Me Well (8/1), Treasure Vale (8/1), Indiana Grey (14/1), Guiding (25/1), Magi Gal (33/1)

The Adrian Keatley-trained DUHALLOW NOELIE wouldn't have to improve too much on his fine win over C&D earlier this month off a 3lb lower mark. The three-year-old beat much stronger opposition three weeks ago and should be able to handle the potential challenge coming from Han Solo, beaten 3¾L over C&D in February and polytrack debutante, Treasured Vale.
