Miss Snossyboots¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M Halford| OR: 80| CD

5/1

Tough and genuine mare winner of two of her four starts over C&D. Running well in defeat in a couple of starts this month. Leading player once again.

Form: 8009-23

Bal De Rio¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: James J Doyle| T: D Hogan| OR: 78| D

16/1

Showed ability both on the Flat and over hurdles when trained by Brian Ellison. Pleasing run on first run at this track earlier this month but best watched taking a drop in trip.

Form: 1134/3-6

Muzbid³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: K J Leonard| T: R Sweeney| OR: 77

5/1

Running well in defeat and certainly catching the eye in a couple of initial starts at the venue since November. Worth a market check stepping up in trip.

Park Row⁷⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 9-11| J: R Coakley| T: D P Coakley| OR: 76| CD

11/1

Veteran of 29 starts here and winner of four of his 16 runs over C&D. Third of 14 beaten 1½L over the combination when last seen in November. Liable to find a couple of better handicapped sorts lurking.

Lusis Naturea⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-10| J: Darragh O'Keeffe⁽⁵⁾| T: Paul Traynor| OR: 75| C

25/1

Recently seen over hurdles at Naas before finishing down the field in a 14 runner contest earlier this month. Ran well in defeat over C&D in September and not one to be putting a line through just yet.

Form: 52620-9

Guinevere^p²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: C P Hoban| T: R P Cody| OR: 77| CD

11/2

Off the mark for connections on this surface when landing an eight runner handicap over C&D earlier this month beating Miss Snossyboots 1L. Another bold bid likely.

Form: 34525-1

(12)

Itsalonglongroad^h,t²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: W J Lee| T: J C McConnell| OR: 69

20/1

Genuine sort who has hit the frame in four of his 11 starts over C&D but without a win here in 13 starts now and likely to find a number with stronger claims in the line-up.

Form: 645P5-8

(13)

Lets Get Started^t¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Colin Keane| T: O McKiernan| OR: 67

5/1

Posted a decent effort at this venue last month finishing third of 14 beaten 3¼L behind Bashful Boy over C&D before another bold effort over 10f earlier this month. Capable of a bold show.

Form: 863-3

(9)

Mandarin Monarch^p²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Chris Hayes| T: A McNamara| OR: 67| CD

10/1

Lightly raced on the Flat and spent most of last year over hurdles. Winner of two of his nine starts at the track both over C&D. Any market support could be significant in this company.

Form: 21681/0-

(5)

Pak Army^b⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Rory Cleary| T: J R Barry| OR: 66| CD

7/2

Won for the first time in his career when landing a 14 runner September handicap over C&D. Continues to run well and another big run would not surprise.

Form: 8/1168-4

(6)

Jazzy J^h,t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁵⁾| T: A McCann| OR: 47

66/1

Well held in five starts last year including a number of heavy defeats at this venue. Needs sizable chunk of improvement to get competitive.

Form: 8/9659-0

(8)

Malvolio^p³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: N G McCullagh| T: M Halford

25/1

Farhh gelding out of a USA bred mare. Will have disappointed leading connections so far in a couple of disappointing efforts in October and December last year. Makes limited appeal in this event but any market move would be worth noting.

Form: 07-

Rockview Roman³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Wayne Lordan| T: J C McConnell| OR: 60| BF| C

12/1

Failed to land the hat-trick over 1m2½f at this venue last month well beaten when sent off at odds of 4/5f. Could be of interest stepping up in trip.

Pak Army (7/2), Muzbid (5/1), Miss Snossyboots (5/1), Lets Get Started (5/1), Guinevere (11/2), Mandarin Monarch (10/1), Park Row (11/1), Rockview Roman (12/1), Bal De Rio (16/1), Itsalonglongroad (20/1), Lusis Naturea (25/1), Malvolio (25/1), Jazzy J (66/1)

C&D winner MISS SNOSSYBOOTS can get back to winning ways here following a solid effort over the combination before finishing third of 10 over 2m earlier this month. The six-year-old can reverse the places under jockey Ronan Whelan with early January conqueror Guinevere who, in-turn, can get the better of the likes of potential improver Pak Army, C&D winner Park Row and the Denis Hogan-trained Bal De Rio who can go well at a price.
