Battledore^t1⁷¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Luke McAteer⁽⁷⁾| T: A McCann

100/1

Gelding by Lonhro out of a Zieten mare. Relatively inexpensive purchase at 2,000 gns at Newmarket sales 14 months ago and failed to make the track for trainer Michael Bell. Easy to look elsewhere.

Rubys Jazz^t1¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: P B Beggy| T: G B Caldwell

50/1

Son of Red Jazz and a half-brother to dual winner Baby Power. Beaten a long way in Bellewstown maiden (1m, good; 10-1) on debut this month and needs to step up markedly.

Form: 0

Darknessintlight³⁵⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: Mrs M Whelehan

100/1

Big Bad Bob mare, produced nothing of note in four runs over 11-month spell from summer of 2017 onwards. Returns from a layoff with everything to prove.

Form: 00/00-

Does Mammy Know^t⁷⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: J M Sheridan⁽⁷⁾| T: D P Dunne

100/1

Struggled in two starts so far most recently on yielding ground over an extended 1m1f at Gowran Park two months ago. Has plenty to work on here to get competitive.

Form: 90

Keep Dreaming³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Shane Foley| T: L Fowler

20/1

Daughter of Choisir out of an Excellent Art mare, sixth of 15 here last month on debut (beaten 10L) and will need to step up considerably on that effort to hold valid claims now.

Form: 6

Fairy Fort^b,t⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D O'Brien| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 70

9/4

By War Front and nicely related, improving in each of four starts so far and can be in the mix if taking another step up on recent Limerick fourth in first-time blinkers (retained).

Form: 0-574

(11)

Morph^t1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: O J Orr| T: A J Martin

66/1

Failed to trouble the judge in pair of AW starts in France last year, starts out for new connections here and likely best watched unless betting suggests otherwise.

Form: 0-0

Royal Aide³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Hugh Horgan⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J P O'Brien

11/2

By Galileo, not beaten far in bunched finish to 1m2f Roscommon maiden on second start last month. Drops right back in distance for this contest.

Form: 57

Super Treat⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Lee| T: T Doyle| OR: 73

3/1

Five-race maiden, more exposed than plenty of his rivals here and will seemingly have to improve to get off the mark.

Form: 0-3355

Dedillon²⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrew Slattery⁽⁵⁾| T: A Slattery

8/1

Dylan Thomas filly was a 33-1 chance on debut in 7f AW maiden at Dundalk in October and didn't run badly, finishing just over 3L sixth of 14. Off since and worth a betting check now making turf debut.

Form: 6-

Helen Of Albany^t⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| BF

6/1

Exceed and Excel filly who was a €220,000 yearling. Her dam was a winner at 1m as a two-year-old. Held on debut at Bellewstown (5f, good; 6-4f) recently, should have learned from the experience.

Form: 4

(16)

Is Fantastic

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Declan McDonogh| T: G Elliott

22/1

Arcano filly. Dam 7f winner. One of two debutantes in this line-up for trainer Gordon Elliott, worth a second look in the market.

Form:

Lovely Buvinda^t1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Robbie Colgan| T: D Kinsella

66/1

Born To Sea filly is a half-sister to three winners, including 6f/7f winner Five Claw and 6f-7f winner Ducky Mallon. Not crossed off the list.

Pour Sioux

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Chris Hayes| T: G Elliott

14/1

Pour Moi filly. Closely related to useful middle distance winner Running Deer and half-sister to 7½f-1m4f winner Heska, amongst others. One of two runners for Gordon Elliott in this field.

Form:

Rapid Pulse¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Paddy Harnett⁽¹⁰⁾| T: A Slattery

66/1

Dragon Pulse filly purchased for €7,000 at the sales as a yearling; beaten 30+L on debut in Bellewstown maiden this month, needs a big step up to have a say here.

Form: 0

Restless Gale¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Coen⁽⁵⁾| T: A Slattery

20/1

Unfancied 25-1 shot on debut at Bellewstown (1m, good) this month, shaped with some degree of purpose in finishing 8L down on the winner. May improve on that now.

Form: 5

Russian Vine¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: M A Gallagher| T: R Brabazon

25/1

Fast Company filly, hasn't built on decent showing in Navan maiden (5f, good; 16-1) in May during two further outings over longer trip. Needs more.

Forecasts

Fairy Fort (9/4), Super Treat (3/1), Royal Aide (11/2), Helen Of Albany (6/1), Dedillon (8/1), Pour Sioux (14/1), Morph Speed (14/1), Restless Gale (20/1), Keep Dreaming (20/1), Is Fantastic (22/1), Russian Vine (25/1), Rubys Jazz (50/1), Morph (66/1), Lovely Buvinda (66/1), Rapid Pulse (66/1), Darknessintlight (100/1), Battledore (100/1), Does Mammy Know (100/1)

HELEN OF ALBANY was sent off favourite on debut at Navan over 5f last time and ran well enough (fourth) to suggest she'll get off the mark soon enough. There should be improvement in the filly and she looks destined for a leading role now. Super Treat goes well in this sort of company while Fairy Fort is building towards a win, seemingly. Dedillon and Is Fantastic – one of two representing Gordon Elliott – merit inspection in the betting.
