Parkers Hill^v²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Ben Coen⁽³⁾| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 74| C

2/1

Off the mark for connections at the sixth time of asking on this surface landing a 1m handicap last month with change in headgear and racing tactics the reason for marked improvement.

Form: 4803-01

Tony The Gent^b⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: James J Doyle| T: D Hogan| OR: 78| D

14/1

Stable stalwart for the Ger Lyons yard before moving to current connections in August. Running well in defeat in a number of starts since but always appears susceptible to one or two better placed sorts.

Form: 75557-9

Billyfairplay^p⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Gavin Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: J Feane| OR: 67| C

3/1

Course winner who has hit the frame over C&D. Seventh of 12 beaten 4½L in a 5f handicap at the end of last month. Claims in this company.

Form: 230-827

Captainofthebounty^p1,t⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: S M Crosse⁽³⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 66

14/1

Hints of a possible first career win when fourth of 14 beaten 2¼L on return to action here following a six month absence. Well held since at the end of last month over a similar trip last month. Could be of interest in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 2/707-48

Highly Approved¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A McGuinness| OR: 69| CD

9/1

Winner of three of her 14 starts at this track including a couple of victories over C&D from seven starts over the combination. Major player at this level.

Form: 820-008

Master Speaker^t⁶⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 9-4| J: Paddy Harnett⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 69| C

14/1

Winner of three of his 19 starts at the track and has been once again running with credit in a number of starts here since October. Sixth of 14 beaten 4L when last seen over 7f in December, may have to settle for a minor role once again.

Dubai Rainbow^v³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Declan McDonogh| T: E Lynam| OR: 67| CD

5/1

Running well with plenty of credit in six starts at the venue including a win and a place over C&D. Needs to improve on below-par effort here last month but capable of having her say.

Form: 31235-7

(7)

Frosty Beach³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: T E Whelan| T: N C Kelly| OR: 67

50/1

Led and disputed lead early before being pushed along into the straight, weakening to finish last but one on first start on this surface last month over C&D. Plenty more needed.

Form: 16960-0

(17)

Eastern Star⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: T P Madden| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 57

25/1

Eight-race maiden who has hit the frame on a couple of starts here, both over 6f. Has struggled over C&D in three starts previously and possibly worth opposing once again.

Form: 03385-8

(12)

My Good Brother^p⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 8-12| J: C D Maxwell⁽³⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 53| C

33/1

Veteran winner of six of his 43 starts at this venue but yet to hit the frame in three starts over C&D. Now racing 13lb lower than last winning mark in handicaps and hard to tell where improvement is coming from.

Form: 4505-08

Curly Girl⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: Nathan Crosse⁽⁵⁾| T: W Durkan| OR: 61| D

20/1

Without success in 12 starts at this venue including six appearances over C&D. Nothing to get excited about in three efforts here last month and other readily preferred.

Form: 1/00-809

(14)

Hypnotic Force^b⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Chris Hayes| T: N Meade| OR: 67

25/1

Slight improvement on second and latest start at this track last month finishing eighth of 14 beaten 8L over 1m2½f in a similar contest. More needed but no surprise to witness continued progress.

Form: 0100/08

(16)

Janets Wish⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Rory Cleary| T: P W Flynn

66/1

Daughter of Camacho out of a Namid mare. Closely related to two-time winner Wirral Girl, successful over 5f/6f. Dismal first couple of efforts over 7f/1m at this venue since October.

Form: 0-0

Tennessee Wildcat^b⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 8-8| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁵⁾| T: D English| OR: 62| C

10/1

Genuine veteran, winner of three of his 23 starts at this track but yet to hit the target in three starts over C&D. Major concern is that he is now racing 28lb lower than last winning mark in handicaps.

DUBAI RAINBOW can get back to winning ways following a couple of disappointments over 1m. The daughter of Tamayuz has a win and a place to her name over C&D and can get the better of the Johnny Murtagh-trained Parkers Hill who got off the mark for connections at the sixth time of asking on this surface landing a 1m handicap last month. The likes of Billyfairplay, Master Speaker and Tony The Gent are all pretty consistent round here and merit plenty of respect.
