Plum Perfect²³

3/1

Career best effort at Gowran Park in October was bettered by the filly finishing second of 14 beaten a short-head behind Whatharm over C&D last month. 4lb rise may not be enough to halt another bold bid.

4/1

Off the mark for connections at the seventh time of asking when landing a handicap over C&D last month off a 4lb lower mark. Has to be considered from useful draw and current form.

14/1

Off the mark at the 11th attempt for connections when landing a 1m2½f at this track last month beaten Turf Ranger a nose off a 3lb lower mark. Life more difficult from revised mark but can still give a good account.

14/1

Off the mark for connections at the six time of asking in a Hamilton 1m½f handicap in July. Ran well to finish third of 14 beaten 2L over C&D last month behind Bodak. No surprise to see a big run once again in first time hood.

All The Mollies²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Killian Leonard| T: Mrs D A Love| OR: 45

20/1

Recently seen finishing well down the field in three starts over hurdles, the daughter of Intense Focus is yet to hit the frame in five starts over C&D. May need a few to falter.

Form: 90-4428

Cosmic Symbol^t,v⁶⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 8-8| J: Rory Cleary| T: T Cleary| OR: 45| D

66/1

Gelding has not won for over two years. Well beaten on latest starts on turf at Killarney and Gowran Park when last seen in October. Has hit the frame on three occasions from eight starts over C&D and worth a check in the market.

The Tracey Collins-trained PLUM PERFECT can build on a career best effort over C&D recently when second of 14 beaten a short-head behind Whatharm. The daughter of Tamayuz can get off the mark for connections at the seventh attempt with C&D winners Mulzamm and Everyhouronthehour likely to give another good account of themselves. The Denis Hogan-trained Sayesse, winner over 7f at this venue earlier in the month can go well on stable debut while Blackstone Cliff could go well at a price if settling a little better in the early stages of the race.
