Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: K J Manning| T: J C McConnell| OR: 60

25/1

15-race maiden has hit the frame on one occasion from six starts at this venue. Well held and no impression in a couple of starts here since December. Unlikely to make a significant impact trying this C&D for the first time.

Iron Blue^p¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: G M Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: M Fahey| OR: 59| C

11/2

Won for the second time in her career when landing a 1m2½f contest last month off a 5lb lower mark. Very interesting challenger in this contest.

12/1

C&D winner. Struggled last summer both on the Flat and over hurdles. Fifth of 14 beaten 12L over C&D when last seen in December. May find life difficult still racing 11lb higher than last winning mark.

Ragtime Red^t³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: W J Lee| T: A McCann| OR: 58| C

8/1

Landed a second career win when winning a 14 runner 1m2½f contest off a 4lb lower mark in December. Beaten over a similar trip since but hold strong place claims in a race of this nature.

Form: 76021-8

All For Nothing^t¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: C D Maxwell⁽³⁾| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 56| D

66/1

Winner of two of his 13 starts on the Flat. Nothing to note in a couple of starts here over differing trips since December and hard to fancy on current evidence.

Form: 1120/0-0

All Body And Soul⁶⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Ronan Whelan| T: T Collins| OR: 55| CD

6/1

Three-time C&D winner previously. Not disgraced in a couple of starts since October but a grave concern the gelding now races 19lb lower than last winning mark.

Form: 545088-

Getgo^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: G P Brouder⁽⁷⁾| T: K H Clarke| OR: 53| C

20/1

Winner of one of his 10 starts at this venue with the gelding running to an adequate standard in a couple of recent starts last month. Place claims but racing 9lb lower than last winning mark should be noted.

Form: 6/707-49

(15)

Drummer¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: James J Doyle| T: D Hogan| OR: 52

10/1

Seven-race maiden posted a career best effort on his latest start at this venue over 1m2f last month off a similar mark finishing third of 14 beaten 4L. Will look to progress once more.

Form: 057-03

No Trouble^p²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: R Coakley| T: N C Kelly| OR: 53| C

5/2

One from 13 in his career with sole win coming at this track in November. Good form here in the last 12 months and a lively contender on stable debut.

Form: 09319-2

Shes Gold²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Paddy Harnett⁽⁷⁾| T: T Mullins| OR: 49

20/1

Long standing maiden in both codes. Without success in 11 starts on the Flat and unlikely to be troubling the judge in this contest.

Form: 908000-

Spanish Dawn^h,t⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Wayne Lordan| T: J C McConnell| OR: 47| C

8/1

Winner of one of her 14 starts at this venue but has hit the frame over C&D from three starts over the combination. Can be considered a leading contender giving solid form here in the last 12 months and now nearing last winning mark.

Appian Way⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: N G McCullagh| T: C O'Brien| OR: 47

25/1

Eight-race maiden, faded after disputing lead on first visit to this track before fading to finish 10th of 13 over 1m2½f last month. Beaten over 16L when last seen in December and looks opposable once again.

Form: 050000-

Caronda³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Chris Hayes| T: T Doyle| OR: 45

5/1

17-race maiden running well in defeat in a number of starts at this track between October/November last year. Possibly needed the spin on return to action last month and a little early to be writing off just yet.

Form: 05237-7

Crystal Pool¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: K J Leonard| T: P Martin| OR: 45

50/1

Five-race maiden who is yet to hit the frame in four starts at this venue. Possibly best watched on first start over C&D unless market vibes suggest otherwise.

NO TROUBLE can win for the second time in his career following a solid effort over C&D on his latest start last month off a similar mark. The No Nay Never gelding ran Wild Shot to 2½L and can improve on that effort at the expense of Iron Blue who won for the second time in her career when landing a 1m2½f contest last month off a 5lb lower mark. Course winner Ragtime Red is sure to appreciate the return to this trip and can compete for remaining prize money with Spanish Dawn for trainer John McConnell.
