Iron Blue^h1⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Ross Coakley| T: M Fahey| OR: 65| C

25/1

Sole win came over 7f here this time last year for Kevin Prendergast but her form went backwards subsequently. Has shown nothing in two starts this year for new yard and best watched in first-time hood.

Form: 6560-60

(16)

Reverberation⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Gavin Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Lambe| OR: 65| D

7/1

Sole win from 19 starts came on the AW at Dundalk off a 4lb lower mark than this. Around that level the last twice over 7f and better suited by this step back up in trip. Should be competitive.

Form: 193-066

(9)

Fair Game^p⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: K J Manning| T: E J O'Grady| OR: 57

7/1

Just two wins from 36 starts and both came on very testing ground back in 2017. Off a much reduced mark nowadays. Has proved inconsistent since and although a solid third latest, would prefer plenty of rain.

Form: 8090-83

Whatharm¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: C P Hoban| T: P J Flynn| OR: 56

6/1

Remains a six-race maiden and has failed to build on his promising debut over 7f here, which remains his career best. Bit better last start following a poor reappearance but plenty more required to be involved.

Form: 5600-06

(7)

Miracles In May¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Ben Coen⁽⁵⁾| T: M A Cahill| OR: 55| D

7/1

Displayed improved form this year with a second followed by a first success over this trip at Naas in April. Raised 5lb but simply failed to stay over 1m4.5f at Tipperary last time. Has more to offer back in trip and down 1lb and could bounce back.

Form: 008-210

(11)

Fascinating Spirit^p1,t³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A J Martin| OR: 52

16/1

Daughter of Fastnet Rock has been generally unfancied and while not disgraced in midfield at Leopardstown latest, needs plenty more to get into the money. Likely best watched unless significant support for this stable.

Form: 050-00

(3)

Stellaire Enfant²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Shane Foley| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 52

5/1

Six-race maiden showed improved form when second on reappearance at the Curragh over 7f in May. Below that at the same course when upped to this trip last time and didn't seem to see it out. Chances but may be better when dropped back in trip.

Form: 7/670-20

Lady Savanah^v¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Colin Keane| T: T G McCourt| OR: 51

14/1

Without a win in seven starts but ran a career best fourth over this C&D back in May. A reproduction of that would see her go close off 2lb lower but very poor the last twice and questions to answer now.

Form: 40-0400

(13)

Doogan's Warren^h1,t³³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M Butler| OR: 49| BF

11/2

Has looked close to a breakthrough on his last three when finishing runner-up each time, including behind Reverberation and Miracles In May. Highly likely to go close again off this mark although concern he displayed a high head carriage last time.

Form: 8002-22

(8)

Nailed On Nina^p,t1¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: M A Gallagher| T: P Martin| OR: 49

14/1

Sole win came on stable debut last August and now 9lb lower. Form has been regressive since and three starts this year have been very poor. Remains one to watch.

Form: 660-008

(17)

Madame Delavanti⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Rory Cleary| T: A McGuinness| OR: 45

20/1

11-race maiden showed signs of promise last year in six starts for previous stable but has been really struggling in five runs this time around for her new stable. Hard to fancy at present.

Form: 4-00080

(2)

Marylebone¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: Alan Persse⁽⁷⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 45

14/1

Sole win came for 18 starts Ed Walker back in 2015 but has largely struggled since. Joined a strong yard but no signs of a revival in three starts as of yet. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 0090-06

(15)

Sarah Ash Calum³⁶³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: Killian Leonard⁽³⁾| T: P Meany| OR: 45

33/1

Finished 2017 with a solid fourth over 5f but poor in both runs around this time last year. Absent since and has shown no signs of staying this trip in her previous efforts. Remains best watched.

Form: 0004/00-

(12)

Straffan¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Andrew Slattery⁽⁷⁾| T: Francis Casey| OR: 45

16/1

11-race maiden needs to step on two eighth placed finishes over sprint distances this year and now takes a leap into the dark over this distance. Others readily preferred. Declared Limerick on Saturday.

Form: 0000-88

Tomwontlisten⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Nathan Crosse⁽⁷⁾| T: C Cannon| OR: 45

50/1

Won over 7f on the AW at Dundalk in November last year but has been woefully out of form in three runs this time around. Has switched stables since but plenty of questions to answer now.

Form: 014-000

Raise The Tempo^b1⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Leigh Roche| T: C O'Dwyer| OR: 45

40/1

Remains a 13-race maiden and just a couple of decent efforts to date. On a very poor run of form since last September and little signs of encouragement. First Reserve.

Forecasts

Stellaire Enfant (5/1), Doogan's Warren (11/2), Major Power (11/2), Whatharm (6/1), Fair Game (7/1), Miracles In May (7/1), Reverberation (7/1), Marylebone (14/1), Lady Savanah (14/1), Nailed On Nina (14/1), Fascinating Spirit (16/1), Straffan (16/1), Madame Delavanti (20/1), Iron Blue (25/1), Sarah Ash Calum (33/1), Raise The Tempo (40/1), Tomwontlisten (50/1)

Reverberation comes here in form and is well suited by this step back up to his optimum trip. MIRACLES IN MAY took a sharp step up in distance last time and while it didn't work out, he could easily kick on again back at this trip. Doogan's Warren continues to go close and is likely to be involved again but his head carriage remains a worry for win purposes.
