The Feathered Nest^h1,t1²⁹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Amy O'Hanlon⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 87| BF

9/1

Finished third of 12 beaten 2¼L on her only start over this trip at Chester in May when based at the yard of trainer Richard Fahey. Market likely to be the best guide on stable debut following a long break.

Form: 97/1387-

Yuften²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Andrew Slattery⁽⁵⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 87| D

11/8

Won his third Flat race on turf when landing a Limerick 6½f on his penultimate start last month. Well held on stable debut at this venue on Wednesday but hard to rule out second highest rated in the contest.

Form: 495316

Khwarizmi¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D W O'Connor⁽³⁾| T: D Marnane| OR: 57

25/1

Four-race maiden in his turf career with the geldings better performances coming on the AW at Dundalk. Out of sorts recently and this looks a tough ask.

Form: 13/060-7

(15)

Poetic Light²⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Shane Foley| T: A McGuinness| OR: 69| CD

33/1

C&D winner of a maiden contest last year but has struggled from his handicap mark subsequently. Up against it here but worth a market check representing last years winning yard.

Form: 854570-

Tennesse Waltz^b¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: O J Orr| T: D Marnane| OR: 65| D

15/2

Distance winner of a Tipperary claimer on yielding to soft ground last month. Beaten since, behind Yuften, but not out of it in this company.

Form: 5-27013

(17)

Iseebreeze¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Nathan Crosse⁽⁷⁾| T: A Mulholland| OR: 46

50/1

One from 10 in his career but the Frozen Power filly has yet to hit the frame in three career starts on turf. Not in the form required to play a part.

Form: 214800

(16)

Measured^t¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Hugh Horgan⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J P O'Brien

33/1

Hints of encouragement in a number of bumpers starts to date but finished well down the field on Flat debut at Sligo last month over 1m4½f. Drop in trip not guaranteed to suit.

Form: 7

(6)

Stamp Of Authority^t²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: C G O'Dwyer⁽¹⁰⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 50| CD

20/1

C&D winner at this meeting 12 months ago. Short of room and eased when beaten inside the final furlong here on Wednesday. Capable of a bold bid on quick return.

Form: 60-0478

Rehoboth Beach^t¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: D O'Brien| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 71

5/1

Failed to build on a career best effort at Navan when finishing down the field at Gowran Park last month. Still holds a major chance in this group.

Form: 97038

(11)

Pass The Cristal³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: C D Maxwell⁽³⁾| T: N McKnight| OR: 42| D

100/1

Has two Flat wins on turf from 10 starts but the Ravens Pass gelding has been badly out of sorts since the turn of the year including on stable debut at Tipperary last month. Makes little appeal based on form in the last 12 months.

Form: 000-808

(9)

Gormanston²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Robbie Colgan| T: N Slevin

100/1

Haatef gelding has failed to beat any of his 28 rivals home in two career starts to date since making his debut at Navan last month.

Form: 00

Basrah Breeze¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 70| BF

4/1

Decent efforts when not disgraced in a number of starts since April in maiden company. Recent efforts suggest plenty of improvement is not out of the question.

Form: 3445

(12)

Gotohawkeye²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Leigh Roche| T: A Keatley| OR: 62

33/1

Yet to hit the frame in four career starts to date showing little signs of ability on each occasion. Hard to place any faith in.

Forecasts

Yuften (11/8), Basrah Breeze (4/1), Rehoboth Beach (5/1), Tennesse Waltz (15/2), The Feathered Nest (9/1), Stamp Of Authority (20/1), Khwarizmi (25/1), Gotohawkeye (33/1), Poetic Light (33/1), Measured (33/1), Iseebreeze (50/1), Parabellum (66/1), Dash To Celebrate (66/1), Clarendon (66/1), Rise Again (66/1), Pass The Cristal (100/1), Gormanston (100/1)

The once-rated 116, YUFTEN appears to have been found an ideal opening to get back to winning ways in a contest where the majority of the field can be dismissed. The Invincible Spirit gelding was not beaten far on stable debut here on Wednesday and should be able to see off the attentions of Parabellum, highest rated in the line up, The Feathered Nest on debut for trainer, John O'Connell and three-year-olds, Rehoboth Beach and Basrah Breeze.
