9/1

Best effort for sometime when finishing close up over C&D on third start over the combination last month. More needed but not one to put a line through.

16/1

Three-race maiden. Third of 10 on latest start when last seen in April at this venue over 7f. Any market move could be significant on handicap debut.

25/1

Won for the second time in her career when landing the spoils over C&D at the start of November off a 6lb lower mark. Well held in a couple of starts since off her revised mark and may struggle once again.

Endless Summer²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: C D Maxwell⁽³⁾| T: S Lynam| OR: 56

7/1

Six-race maiden who hit the frame over C&D two starts back running Adnap to 2¼L in a 5K handicap last month. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Millford Sound⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: W T Byrne⁽⁷⁾| T: A Mullins| OR: 54

12/1

Winner of one of his 11 starts on the Flat but is yet to hit the frame in three starts at this venue including a couple of attempts over 7f. Out of sorts towards the end of the year and this looks a tough task.

Winner of one of his nine starts over C&D with the gelding hitting the frame on a further six occasions. Not seen since October and appears to have plenty to prove on return to action.

7/1

Posted a career best effort over C&D last month finishing second of 14 beaten ¾L behind Adnap off a 2lb lower mark. Likely to launch a bold bid.

Form: 0/607-92

Crest Of A Wave^h²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: K J Leonard| T: C O'Brien| OR: 45

8/1

Without a win in 14 career starts including 12 defeats at this venue in the past. Liable to find a couple stronger once again.

33/1

Not disgraced in a couple of starts at this venue since returning to action following a 12 month absence in October. Off again since December and others appear to have more scope for improvement.

Form: 800/907-

20/1

Winner of four of his 25 visits to the track including a record of two from 10 over C&D. Could be of interest at a big price now racing 5lb below last winning mark.

Forecasts

Dark Magic (7/2), Munfallet (6/1), Endless Summer (7/1), Theoneyouare (7/1), Crest Of A Wave (8/1), Goodwood Showman (9/1), Fashaar (12/1), Millford Sound (12/1), Sir Danilo (12/1), Voyageofdiscovery (14/1), Reverberation (16/1), Skellig (16/1), Northern Surprise (20/1), Guiding (25/1), Just Waterville (33/1), Emperor Of Fashion (50/1)

The Denis Coakley-trained MUNFALLET has been hinting at a return to the winners enclosure since winning over C&D in November. The gelding is back to 3lb higher than last winning mark and can make the most of a positive draw to land the spoils in the closing race of the evening. The nine-year-old can get the better of a couple who have been running with credit over C&D in recent weeks, namely, Endless Summer for Sarah Lynam, Theoneyouare and the Jarlath Fahey-trained Goodwood Showman. Skellig, on handicap debut and Dark Magic should not be easily discounted.
