Jake Peter¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Ben Coen⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Flynn| OR: 79

6/4

Solid and consistent sort over hurdles and on the Flat. Second of 15 beaten ½L in a Limerick 1m3½f handicap last month off a 3lb lower mark and a repeat of that effort would herald another bold bid.

Form: 11221-2

Venezia^t¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-13| J: Declan McDonogh| T: E J O'Grady| OR: 78

3/1

Two from 23 on turf and winner on seasonal debut when landing a Navan 1m5f handicap by a nose off an 8lb lower mark last month. Could be a big player with this trip likely to bring out some improvement.

Form: 384/25-1

Adimelo^t¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-10| J: Colin Keane| T: M M McNiff| OR: 75

33/1

Decent 121-rated handicapper over the larger obstacles but overall Flat form leaves a little to be desired. Well held on first start on the level for nearing on two years. Will appreciate step up in trip but looks up against it.

Form: 72/0

Rocky Shores⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Wayne Lordan| T: D H Kelly| OR: 71

8/1

11-race maiden on Flat at up to 1m6f but showed some ability at times. Has hit the frame on his most recent starts over hurdles at 2m but has plenty to prove on return to the Flat looking at exposed form.

Upgraded^t²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Robbie Colgan| T: A J Martin| OR: 68

12/1

Modest 97-rated handicap hurdler who is one from nine on the Flat with her sole victory coming over 1m1½f almost 18 months ago. Hard to fancy on overall evidence and others hold stronger claims.

Form: 50/6006-

Shakespear'sgalley^t¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: A C Persse⁽⁷⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 62

8/1

Will have disappointed connections in a number of below par maiden efforts between August and October last year. Worth a market check for respected yard on handicap debut.

Form: 0/840-9

Sbraase⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 8-4| J: A J Slattery⁽⁷⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 53| D

7/2

Five-time winner on the AW but remains a 27-race maiden on turf. Doesn't appear to be any light at the end of the tunnel following two dismal efforts this term including a 17L defeat at Gowran Park earlier this month.

Form: 5212-78

Forecasts

Jake Peter (6/4), Conron (2/1), Venezia (3/1), Sbraase (7/2), Shakespear'sgalley (8/1), Rocky Shores (8/1), Upgraded (12/1), Adimelo (33/1)

Appears to be four against the field here with the versatile gelding, CONRON looking capable of landing the spoils following up on his win at Clonmel last month off a 14lb lower mark. The five-year-old can defy the penalty to out-point his closest rivals in the shape of Jake Peter, solid second of 15 at Limerick last month, Navan winner, Venezia and the potential improver, Shakespeare's Gallery.
