For Everyone²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Colin Keane| T: M M McNiff| OR: 58

20/1

Well held in a couple of two-year-old start and much the same story on return to action at Naas in April. Still looking no nearer to breakthrough success.

Form: 79-0

(4)

But I Like It^b,t³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S M Crosse⁽⁵⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 50

3/1

Experienced seven-race maiden who has struggled to find any hints of ability in four starts on turf. Possibly best watched unless the market suggests otherwise.

Form: 9-00607

Lady Greta⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ronan Whelan| T: A McGuinness| OR: 51

16/1

Earlier progress this season, in a number of runs on the AW at Dundalk and on a trip across the sea at Wolverhampton in January, appeared to level out on a dismal return to the track at Gowran Park earlier this month. Others preferred.

Form: 708-590

Cliara¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Chris Hayes| T: K Prendergast| OR: 64

2/1

Genuine sort who appears to be progressing with every run this season. Kept on for pressure in the closing stages at Roscommon earlier in the month, the filly looks capable of grabbing a place here.

Form: 85-084

(7)

Scotts Honor⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: N G McCullagh| T: J M Oxx| OR: 64

9/4

Seven race maiden who has come up against a number of smart types in skirmishes this term, I Am Superman and Syrena to name a couple. No such talent in this contest and one to follow.

Form: 96-7073

(3)

Shamalov^p¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: J M Sheridan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 59

11/2

Yet to hit the frame in seven career starts including six runs on turf. May have to settle for minor prize money in this company.

Form: 4-00790

Forecasts

Cliara (2/1), Scotts Honor (9/4), Bar Room Bore (5/2), But I Like It (3/1), Shamalov (11/2), Lady Greta (16/1), For Everyone (20/1)

The John Oxx-trained, SCOTTS HONOUR can get off the mark for connections at the eighth time of asking following a number of gallant efforts against superior opposition. The Excelebration gelding has come up against future winners, I Am Superman and Syrena in contests this year and can show enough to hold off the likes of Bar Room Bore, clearly better than last run and Cliara for the Kevin Prendergast yard.
