Dime A Dozen¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr T Hamilton⁽³⁾| T: J J Hanlon

5/2

Daughter of Jeremy who deserves a change of fortune following a couple of solid bumper efforts at Tipperary and more notably at the Galway festival earlier this month. Big chance to get off the mark.

Form: 2113-22

Docking²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr R Foley⁽⁷⁾| T: P A Fahy

25/1

By Vinnie Roe out of a Darazari mare. Brother to bumper/2m hurdle winner Pateen. Dam placed bumpers. Not disgraced in either bumper start so far but plenty more needed in this group.

Form: 55

La Baie^t1⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr J C Barry⁽⁵⁾| T: P Meany

25/1

Daughter of Fame And Glory out of a Daylami mare. Half-sister to winners The Welsh Paddies and 2m1f hurdle victor Clondaw Anchior. Never nearer on debut at Roscommon last month but plenty room for improvement.

Form: 6

Le River Noir^h1⁶⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr R W Barron⁽⁷⁾| T: Eamon Courtney

50/1

Daughter of Oscar out of a Flemensfirth mare. Dam bumper winner, successful over hurdles running between 2m2f and 2m4f. Makes little appeal hooded for the first time on debut.

Form: P/

Well Polly¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr W T Cronin⁽⁷⁾| T: A J McNamara

28/1

Daughter by Gold Well out of a Kahyasi mare. Closely related to point-to-point winner, Buck Dancing and half-sister to bumper winner Our Pollyanna. Well down the field on both starts to date. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 98

Lady Moon

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr D L Queally⁽³⁾| T: D Queally

11/2

Filly by Arcadio out of a Flemensfirth mare. Worth a market check for a yard who have a good stock of bumpers. Could run into a place.

Form:

Skyace¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins| BF

6/5

Daughter of Westerner out of a Milan mare. Kept on well to finish second on debut at Ballinrobe before running a big race at the Galway festival earlier this month. Leading player.

Form: 23

Veda's Star¹¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr J J Codd| T: G Elliott

6/1

Filly by Getaway out of a Milan mare. Dam unraced sister to useful hurdler/chaser Ixora. Likely to be plenty of market interest on debut for leading yard.

Form: 3

Forecasts

Skyace (6/5), Dime A Dozen (5/2), Lady Moon (11/2), Veda's Star (6/1), La Baie (25/1), Docking (25/1), Well Polly (28/1), Le River Noir (50/1)

The J J Hanlon-trained Dime A Dozen does deserve a change in fortunes but the daughter of Jeremy has yet to take her chance, which leaves the Willie Mullins-trained SKYACE in pole position to win the closing race of the meeting. The four-year-old ran a big race in defeat at the Galway festival earlier this month and can confirm her well-being with Dime A Dozen, Veda's Star and Lady Moon her biggest dangers.
