Chiavari²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: S M Crosse⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Ellmarie Holden| OR: 76

20/1

Filly has a question to answer over this trip, drops in class after Cork Listed run and booking of Shane Crosse to take off 5lb is a help.

Form: 63404-9

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: W J Lee| T: C O'Dwyer| OR: 75| CD

Scored over C&D last time out and thrives around this track, will have to defy career-high handicap mark to go in again in this tough finale.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: J A Heffernan| T: D Hogan| OR: 72

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Declan McDonogh| T: E J O'Grady| OR: 70| CD

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger| OR: 69

6/1

Runner-up over C&D behind Trump Card last month on first start of 2019, should be sharper now and expected to throw hat in the ring again.

Form: 69100-2

Orgilgo Bay^t⁵⁹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: Siobhan Rutledge⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 68

50/1

Hasn't been sighted since the summer of 2017 and was out of form then. Hard to be expectant of a big run after such a layoff.

Silvretta Schwarz¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: O J Orr⁽³⁾| T: M C Grassick| OR: 68

(10)

All Body And Soul²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Ronan Whelan| T: T Collins| OR: 67

11/1

Best known for exploits on the AW at Dundalk and is previously just 1-27 on turf (win over C&D in 2017). Any rain that falls will go against his chances.

Form: 0-45336

(7)

Bruinneall¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: T P Madden⁽³⁾| T: T Cleary| OR: 63

10/1

Mystique Heights^t²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Rory Cleary| T: L Comer| OR: 62

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: C D Maxwell⁽³⁾| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 60

Union Gap¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Colin Keane| T: N Meade| OR: 59

Age: 8| Weight: 8-9| J: Chris Hayes| T: A A Howard| OR: 56

Age: 8| Weight: 8-9| J: S Foley| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 56| BF

Loudest Whisper¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-5| J: N G McCullagh| T: J M Oxx| OR: 52

Forecasts

Union Gap (5/1), Newcross (6/1), Teologia (6/1), Trump Card (8/1), Stormy Tale (10/1), Bruinneall (10/1), Political Policy (11/1), Strange Notions (12/1), Mystique Heights (12/1), Poitin (12/1), Sbraase (16/1), Loudest Whisper (20/1), Chiavari (20/1), With A Start (20/1), El Tren (22/1), Venezia (25/1), All Body And Soul (25/1), Monaco Rose (33/1), Silvretta Schwarz (33/1), Paula's Prayer (40/1), Orgilgo Bay (50/1)

Trump Card scored over C&D last month and had Teologia and Stormy Tale as his nearest pursuers, all three merit consideration once more but they might give best to POITIN, with the mare seeking to take advantage of her lower turf rating after find only one too good at Dundalk recently. Bruinneall is another one noted coming here off a pleasing AW effort while Strange Notions, Union Gap and Mystique Heights all have the ability to get in the mix.
