Double Jemmy^t¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Vanessa Maye⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J Geoghegan| OR: 70

40/1

Has featured four times on the track. He produced his best effort yet on his latest appearance when he was fourth of 11 at Navan after going off at 100/1. More will be needed to be in the mix at the finish here.

Form: 70U4

Capablanca¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Chris Hayes| T: P J Flynn

66/1

Has been well held in his two appearances on the track. He could only finish ninth of 14 on his most recent effort at the Curragh (1m). Stepping up in distance here. Will need to take a huge stride forward on his third run.

Form: 79

Loingseoir⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: G M Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: M C Grassick

80/1

Never really got into the race on his debut at Dundalk (1m2½f) on the AW where he eventually finished with just one horse behind him in a 14 runner contest. Has to be improve to be a factor in this field.

Weather Alert²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: N G McCullagh| T: T Mullins

8/1

Produced his best performance to date last time when he was fifth of 16 at Gowran Park (1m4f) as a 100/1 shot. Will need to take another big step in the right direction to improve on that here so others appeal more.

Form: 005

Wexford Dawn^p1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger

12/1

Dawn Approach colt who is a half-brother to a number of winners, including Turret Rocks who scored over 1m2f and 1m3f winner Beyond Thankful. Will wear cheekpieces on debut. Worth consideration.

Famous Girl

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Robbie Colgan| T: P Maher

66/1

Famous Name filly. Her dam was unraced. Unlikely to prevail on her opening start so best to watch for now, unless there is strong market confidence before the race which would suggest otherwise.

Lakemilan^h¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: J M Sheridan⁽⁷⁾| T: T O'Brien| BF

7/4

Experienced national hunt mare. She appeared for the first time on turf on the Flat at Cork (1m4f) two runs back where she was fourth of 16. Prevailed last time out in a 2m1½f handicap chase at Cork. Worth respecting.

Form: 0/4

Ollies Wish¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Rory Cleary| T: P Croke

25/1

Could only finish 13th of 14 on his debut at Thurles (1m). Improved on his second start to come home fourth of 20 last time at Leopardstown (1m2f) after going of at 66/1. Will need to produce more here.

Form: 04

Angel Fish^p⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: M P Sheehy⁽⁷⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 72

9/1

Went close to her opening success when she was second of 16 at Cork (1m4f) on her penultimate start where she was beaten by just ¾L. Was disappointing last time at Galway (1m4f) when he was seventh of 12. Can't discount.

Form: 84327

Maria Christina¹⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: O J Orr| T: D K Weld| OR: 73| BF

9/2

Has not been far away on all three of her appearances so far. She was fifth of 13 on her latest outing at Roscommon (1m2f), just 1L away from the winner after going off as the 11/4 favourite. Remains open to improvement. One to consider.

Form: 4-25

(11)

Miss Clash^t²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ronan Whelan| T: E Mullins

14/1

Made a promising start to his career when she was second of 11 at Gowran Park (1m1½f). She has been well held on her two runs since, including last time at Thurles (1m) as she was sixth of 14 runners. May improve for this step up in trip.

Form: 206

Nan Yehi¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Gary Halpin| T: K Prendergast| OR: 72

7/2

Produced her best effort in four appearances last time at Leopardstown (1m2f) when she was second of 20. Shaped like she will appreciate even further in the closing stages last time. One for the shortlist here.

Form: 4452

Weaving Silk¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington

20/1

Finished 11th of 20 on her opening outing at Leopardstown 1m2f last month after going off at 25/1. She was at the rear end of the field for the majority of the contest and never really threatened. Needs to improve.

Forecasts

Lakemilan (7/4), Nan Yehi (7/2), Maria Christina (9/2), Macquarie (6/1), Go West Young Lad (15/2), Weather Alert (8/1), Angel Fish (9/1), Wexford Dawn (12/1), Miss Clash (14/1), Chief Of Police (16/1), Weaving Silk (20/1), Van Meegeren (20/1), Ollies Wish (25/1), Will She Pass (33/1), Double Jemmy (40/1), Capablanca (66/1), Famous Girl (66/1), Nanning City (66/1), Loingseoir (80/1)

This looks a great chance of MACQUARIE to finally break his maiden. Although he is exposed compared to a lot of these runners, his experience will help and he has shown enough in his career so far to suggest he is good enough to win in a field like this. Maria Christina is worth strong consideration as she has been in the mix in all three of her races so far so expect that trend to continue here, while Wexford Dawn is the most interesting newcomer who can hit the frame on his opening start from his leading yard.
