Monumental Man³²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: D C Costello| T: J A Osborne| OR: 65| CD

9/1

Won over this C&D at last year's meeting and only 1lb above that winning handicap mark. Not getting any younger but he was entitled to need the run at Lingfield last time out and sure to be primed for this.

Form: 333476

Caesar's Comet¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: D G Hogan| T: D Hogan| OR: 64| D

4/1

Just two wins from 29 starts and yet to place in seven AW outings. Has run okay in two of his last three starts but looks vulnerable back down to this trip now.

Form: 846493

My Good Brother¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 10-8| J: Colin Keane| T: T G McCourt| OR: 59| D

5/1

Has a record of a win and two places at this meeting including a second in this race last year. Prolific on AW, winning eight times in his career and returned to form at Bellewstown last time; feasibly handicapped on his return to this venue.

Form: 870001

Tyrconnell⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: S M Crosse⁽⁵⁾| T: S Lynam| OR: 58| CD

9/4

Landed this race in good style last year (My Good Brother second) and has won twice on AW since. Handicapper might just have him on return (13lb higher than last year) but holds each-way claims nonetheless.

Form: 630043

Carpet Time⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: C D Maxwell⁽³⁾| T: L Breen| OR: 54

25/1

Sole win in 13 runs came in a maiden at Wolverhampton and he showed very little on debut for this yard at Navan last time. Feasibly handicapped if he can find the form that saw him finish a close runner-up on Tapeta from a mark of 60 in January.

Form: 0-20740

Bellick²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: R Coakley| T: J C McConnell| OR: 52| D

9/2

Gained an AW success at Dundalk in March and has fallen below that winning handicap mark having disappointed subsequently. However, returned to form at Cork last time out with a staying on second and each-way claims if in the same form here.

Pillar¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Declan McDonogh| T: A McGuinness| OR: 47| D

10/1

Stuck to the task well to finish third in this race last year from a 10lb higher handicap mark. 3L behind My good Brother at Bellewstown last time out but respected if he can build on that from basement mark.

Form: 660003

Mimic's Memory¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: T P Madden⁽³⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 46

10/1

Sole win in 33 starts came on Fibresand at Southwell in 2017. While her strike-rate is poor, she could be well treated if she takes to this surface, having run many of her better races on AW.

Form: 600450

Baile An Roba¹⁰²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: M A Gallagher| T: K P Cotter| OR: 45

33/1

Still a maiden after 18 Flat starts. In poor form of late and while his career best effort came on AW, he's hard to fancy on return from and absence for a new yard.

Form: 873000

(10)

Texas Radio¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: D M Simmonson⁽⁷⁾| T: J Feane| OR: 45

16/1

Losing run is starting to mount up and he only has one win from 14 starts on AW, a success at Dundalk in February 2018. Yet to win over a trip this short though and others make more appeal.

Form: 0-50000

Forecasts

Tyrconnell (9/4), Caesar's Comet (4/1), Bellick (9/2), My Good Brother (5/1), Captain Power (8/1), Ingelara (8/1), Monumental Man (9/1), Pillar (10/1), Mimic's Memory (10/1), Rag Tatter (14/1), Texas Radio (16/1), Carpet Time (25/1), Baile An Roba (33/1)

MY GOOD BROTHER may be able to reverse form with last year's winner of this race given that Tyrconnell is markedly worse off at the weights for this year's renewal. Monumental Man was another winner on last year's card and the 10-year-old is well worthy of respect from a workable handicap mark. Mimic's Memory has some fair all-weather form and has an each-way squeak if she handles these conditions.
