Schoolboy Error^t²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Robbie Colgan| T: S Nolan| OR: 58| C

5/1

Boast a record of three wins from 13 starts at this venue. Has a number of conditions to suit and could be dangerous racing 6lb lower than last winning mark.

Form: 704065

Munfallet¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: R Coakley| T: D P Coakley| OR: 57

6/1

Formerly trained by Richard Hannon, David Brown and Adrian Nicholls in Britain, rated 90 two years ago. Ran well on sole start here finishing a head behind Lunastar 11 months ago. Bold bid would not surprise.

Eyeoweyou^t⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: A J Slattery⁽⁵⁾| T: K Thornton| OR: 57

10/1

13-race maiden yet to hit the frame in five starts at this venue. Not disgraced seven days ago over 1m. Worth a market check stepping up in trip.

Form: 335500

Ringo Kid^t³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: J A Heffernan| T: Mrs O Byrne| OR: 51

6/1

23-race maiden struggling in a number of starts over the summer on the Flat and over hurdles. Has gone well on the AW at this track previously and no surprise to see an improved effort.

Form: 532580

Bellepower⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: D N Curran⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J Feane| OR: 53

5/1

Without success in 12 starts including when finishing sixth of 14 beaten over 5L on sole visit to this track over 1m in November last year. Running well in defeat recently and capable of a bold bid.

Form: 200245

Cliara^h,t²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Gary Carroll| T: J C McConnell| OR: 53

11/1

Age: 9| Weight: 9-3| J: T P Madden⁽³⁾| T: S Byrne| OR: 49| C

16/1

Winner at this venue and has hit the frame over C&D but hard to fancy racing 25lb lower than last winning mark.

Form: 8/9-4408

Rule The Sea¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Ronan Whelan| T: T Collins| OR: 53

7/1

Off the mark for connections at the fifth time of asking when landing a Tipperary 1m apprentice handicap off a 7lb lower mark in August before finishing down the field from his revised mark at Gowran Park last month. Tough ask.

Form: 0-80919

Paistiul^p⁸⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger| OR: 51

8/1

Out of luck in seven career starts so far including on sole visit here in March. Not out of it but faces a tough ask in this company.

Form: 6-79076

Dreams Of Winter³⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: A C Persse⁽⁷⁾| T: N Dooly| OR: 45

50/1

Nine-race maiden makes stable debut here. Well beaten at this track on a couple of occasions when last seen 12 months ago. Still looking no nearer to breakthrough success.

Form: 850860-

Make A Story³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: J M Sheridan⁽⁷⁾| T: P Cluskey| OR: 45

20/1

Nine-race maiden. Tailed off finishing last of eight on debut run over 1m in February. Has shown little or no aptitude since to be considered in this company.

Form: 087500

Rockview Roman¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Wayne Lordan| T: J C McConnell| OR: 48

16/1

Glimmers of improvement on second handicap start in a Gowran Park 1m contest last month, keeping on one pace to finish seventh of 16. Not one to place a great deal of faith in.

Form: 90-097

(3)

Come Back And Stay³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Siobhan Rutledge⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 45

14/1

Six-race maiden well held on only start at this track finishing ninth of 14 beaten over 14L over 7f in November last year. Not disgraced in a number of starts over the summer but more needed here.

Forecasts

Bellepower (5/1), Schoolboy Error (5/1), Munfallet (6/1), Ringo Kid (6/1), Rule The Sea (7/1), Paistiul (8/1), Eyeoweyou (10/1), Lady Rosebud (10/1), Easy Boy (10/1), Coolbawn Magic (10/1), Sharjah (10/1), Cliara (11/1), Come Back And Stay (14/1), Rockview Roman (16/1), Lean And Keen (16/1), Make A Story (20/1), Dreams Of Winter (50/1)

Course winner, SCHOOLBOY ERROR can land the closing race of the evening to win for the fourth time on the surface. The Roderic O'Connor gelding can improve on his fifth of 14 beaten 5½L behind Cache Queen over C&D last month. The Denis Coakley-trained Munfallet, Ringo Kid and Bellepower, fifth of 24 at the Curragh in August can prove the biggest threats in another wide open handicap. Reserves, Sharjah and Easy Boy a worthy of consideration if making the line-up.
