Off time: 18:00 | Winning time: 2m 12.13s

(1)

Aussie Valentine^p,t¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: T P Madden⁽³⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 86| D

11/2

Fairly versatile six-time career winner, has twice knocked on the door at Cork of late over 1m2f/1m½f. One pace in the final 2f when stepping up in trip last month at Limerick but more expected back over a more reasonable distance.

Form: 330580

(2)

Charcor^p1²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 86

15/8

Finished half way in the Irish Lincoln before a couple of solid run last over an extended 1m at Cork. Could be a big player in first time cheekpieces and step up in trip likely to trigger more improvement.

Form: 005-027

(3)

Dream Walker^t³⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 9-12| J: Ronan Whelan| T: J P Fahey| OR: 86

14/1

Tough and genuine veteran who has won 11 of his 74 turf starts on the Flat. Not disgraced over a similar trip on seasonal debut at Cork last month but needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 90177-7

(4)

Johnny Drama³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 85| D

10/11

Off the mark at the third time of asking for connections on seasonal debut in a Gowran Park soft ground maiden last month over 1m1½f. Looks a progressive sort and likely to go well once again.

Form: 72-1

Forecasts

Johnny Drama (10/11), Charcor (15/8), Aussie Valentine (11/2), Dream Walker (14/1)

Winner of a 17-runner Gowran Park 1m1½f maiden last month on seasonal debut, JOHNNY DRAMA can continue his development in this contest. The Ger Lyons-trained gelding could possibly lead on the way to victory at the expense of Jessica Harrington's Charcor, in first-time cheekpieces and racing stalwarts Aussie Valentine and Dream Walker.
