Previous C&D winner, may have needed turf run at the Curragh eight days ago after a layoff and possibilities back around here with fitness boosted.

12/1

Twice a winner here in the past over 7f/1m, though not since spring 2018, attempted to make most over a mile early this month and eventually finished fifth; his best effort in some time.

Back from a 120-day break and took advantage of reduced mark to score over C&D 12 days ago, is now 5lb higher but capable of running well from this mark.

12/1

Shed maiden tag on stable debut on the beach at Laytown last month but well held two runs since over 6f, so needs return to 7f to bring a change in fortune. Others better equipped.

C&D winner in March, 5lb higher still but has run well last twice around here and 7lb claiming rider ensures he's got to be of interest.

8/1

Won a 6f claimer last November on final start for Edward Lynam, has been with two trainers since and few positives shown; yet to win beyond 6f and opposable here.

25/1

Tends to do his racing on turf (not spotted here since 2015) and 0-6 on AW previously. Pick of his 2019 form would see him competitive should he find it.

25/1

Four-time course winner, including over this trip in January from 1lb higher mark under this valuable claim. Has decent record fresh so worth close inspection now.

Maggie Thunder¹¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Ross Coakley| T: A Fleming| OR: 49

Four-race maiden and well held in three starts this season since June. Hasn't looked like a winner in waiting.

33/1

Sole win in 33 starts came on Fibresand at Southwell in 2017 for trainer Ann Duffield. Well down the field in a number of starts since August and hard to make a case for here.

Unimpressive eight-race maiden, returning from a year on the sidelines for stable debut. Plenty to be worked on.

66/1

Showed a bit on middle of three Flat starts back in 2017, but well beaten otherwise and is now returning from a year off to make handicap bow. Would need strong market move to warrant support.

Forecasts

Masalai (5/2), Mulzamm (11/4), Eacharn (6/1), Dance Alone (7/1), Captain Power (8/1), Loaded (10/1), Fashaar (12/1), Confident Kid (12/1), Fair Game (16/1), Just Waterville (20/1), Count Of Carabass (25/1), Northern Surprise (25/1), Lapilli (25/1), Mimic's Memory (33/1), Mr Andros (33/1), Maggie Thunder (40/1), Musk Mallow (66/1)

Masalai returned from a break with a win over C&D 12 days ago and Oisin Orr's mount should go well again despite going up 5lb. MULZAMM is still high in the ratings compared to his spring victory over track and trip but he's become consistent around here since and his last-time-out second in first-time cheekpieces suggested his turn is coming again. His rider takes off a valuable 7lb now and that can make all the difference in what may be a bunched finish. Northern Surprise tends to go well fresh while Eacharn is fitter after a recent turf run an UK import Mr Andros has Polytrack form.
