12/1

First start since being gelded when finishing 5L fourth in a 1m2f handicap at Navan (good-to-yielding) a week ago. Interesting racing off a 3lb lower mark in this contest.

Carbon Dating⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Alan Persse⁽⁴⁾| T: Andrew Hughes| OR: 75| D

25/1

Well beaten in three starts this season and handicap mark is falling as a result. Market support would be notable off a mark 16lb lower than for his most recent victory.

Form: 689-669

Cj Cregg^h,t⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Amy O'Hanlon⁽⁷⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 69| D

6/1

Returning from a break when winning over this trip on soft ground at Roscommon earlier this week. Tongue tie worn for the first time that day is retained and she is one for the shortlist following a 5lb rise in the weights.

Form: 64-3361

Charlie Stout^t⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: S M Crosse| T: S Nolan| OR: 68

7/2

Ran well to finish third in a 2m handicap at Navan (good-to-yielding) on Flat return recently. Drop in trip unlikely to inconvenience too much on just his sixth Flat start.

Form: 883/7-3

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: G C O'Neill⁽²⁾| T: P J F Hassett| OR: 66| D

7/1

Placed on each of his last three starts including when third over 1m2f at Navan (good-to-yielding) a week ago. Step up in trip no issue and holds strong claims once more.

Form: 2-54223

Papal Count¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Gavin Ryan⁽⁴⁾| T: R O'Brien| OR: 62

16/1

Promising third in a soft ground 1m maiden at this venue in April. Struggled on handicap debut last time out however and market support would be notable upped in trip.

3/1

Improved on debut for this yard when finishing third over an extended 1m1f at Gowran Park (good-to-firm) last time out. Shapes as if this step up in distance will suit.

HAPPY COMPANY has shown up well when placed on his last three outings and he can register a deserved victory by taking this middle-distance handicap contest. The selection can see off recent Roscommon winner Cj Cregg who can take second spot ahead of top weight Jewel Maker who returned to form with a fourth last time out.
