Adnap^t²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: C D Maxwell⁽³⁾| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 65| CD

6/4

Off the mark at the eighth time of asking for connections when winning a 5K handicap over C&D last month off a 6lb lower mark. Difficult to dismiss despite big weight.

Form: 8/009-21

Tyrconnell^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: M A Enright| T: S Lynam| OR: 60| C

7/1

Winner of two of his 13 starts at this venue largely racing between 6f/7f. Running with great credit in defeat in a number of starts at the track since November and likely to be on the scene once more.

Form: 1349-67

Roachdale House^p⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: T P Madden| T: P W Flynn| OR: 58

10/1

The Mastercraftsman gelding is still looking for a breakthrough success at this venue in eight starts to date including failing to hit the frame in two starts over C&D.

Form: 705/8-46

Kinch^p²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: D W O'Connor⁽³⁾| T: J F Levins| OR: 56

13/2

Running well in defeat in a number of starts here over both 7f and C&D. Not a forlorn hope but others still more compelling.

Form: 9545-96

Lady Boomerang^p²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Jessica Maye⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J Geoghegan| OR: 54| D

16/1

Generally well held in five starts over C&D including when ninth of 14 last month. Appears to have a bit to prove in a race of this nature.

Form: 05770-9

Roman Warrior²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: R Coakley| T: F Birrane| OR: 53

10/1

Ran well in defeat finishing 1½L down on Tanqeeb in a Wolverhampton 7f handicap last month. More needed but not one to put a line through.

Aishling's Secret²⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: G P Brouder⁽⁷⁾| T: K H Clarke| OR: 47

25/1

15-race maiden still looking for first victory at this track in 11 starts including four over C&D. Well held when last seen at Gowran Park in June and still appears no nearer to breakthrough success.

Clonville⁷⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁵⁾| T: J P Fahey| OR: 45

16/1

Miserly career return of just the one win from 20 starts on the Flat. Beaten in seven starts at this venue and best watched on first start over C&D.

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: C P Hoban| T: T J O'Mara| OR: 45

7/1

11-race maiden, yet to hit the frame in six starts at this venue but ran with plenty of credit on first start over C&D last month. One to note in first-time visor.

Form: 49809-4

Santorini Sun⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: K J Leonard| T: F G Hand| OR: 45

14/1

Miserly return of one win from 24 starts. Not beaten far in a couple of starts here since November and could be a lively outsider taking a big drop in trip.

Form: 08430-7

Survival Mode⁸⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: N G McCullagh| T: S Fahey| OR: 45

33/1

11-race maiden ran well in defeat over C&D earlier this month running Munfallet to 3½L on second start at the track. Disappointed in first-time blinkers on latest start in November and best watched here.

Form: 4/00066-

Dani's Boy^h,t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: James J Doyle| T: P A Fahy| OR: 59| D

12/1

Second Reserve: One from 11 in career, yet to hit the frame in three starts at this venue including a 7½L reversal over further last month. Needs a few to falter.

A rise in the weights may not be enough to stop the five-year-old ADNAP in this contest. The Casamento gelding got the mark at the eighth time of asking for connections when winning a 5K handicap over C&D last month off a 6lb lower mark and can win again at the expense of the solid, Mulzamm and the Sarah Lynam-trained Tyrconnell. The Fergal Birrane-trained Roman Warrior could be a lively outsider.
