Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Hugh Horgan⁽¹⁰⁾| T: K Purcell| OR: 63

16/1

Well beaten in a couple of handicap starts at Cork in April before a heavy defeat on third start at this track at the end of January. Others make more appeal.

Form: 000/34-0

Ekanse²²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: A M Glynn⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan

66/1

Poor hurdler, two-race maiden on the Flat with a 19L defeat over 1m2½f at this venue to put behind him if he is to make any significant impact in this company.

Form: 6/0-

66/1

Filly by Baltic King out of a Phardante mare. Dam never made it to the track. Is a half-sister to winning hurdler Massini Lotto. Well beaten in a couple of bumpers so far and best watched making Flat and AW debut here.

Will Be King^t¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: S M Crosse⁽³⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 69| C

6/4

Continues to run well in defeat following a first career victory over 1m in December off a 6lb lower mark. Better than last effort here suggests when slowly away last month.

Form: 49-2978

Sicario¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: O J Orr| T: M M McNiff| OR: 64

12/1

Not beaten far on first start at this venue over a similar trip in January before disappointing over 1m4f last month. Profile suggests he is worth taking on once again.

Form: 34/64-80

Lady De Vesci⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M Halford| OR: 67| CD

5/2

Won for the fourth time at this course, her third over C&D when landing a claimer beating Alabaster ½L in November. Forth of 14 beaten 5L on latest start at the end of January and one to note in this contest.

Dayereh^t¹¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: C P Hoban| T: M M McNiff| OR: 45

25/1

21-race maiden without a win in 12 starts on this track including six over C&D. Not seen since November and possibly beat watched on return to action.

Tennesse Waltz^b²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-8| J: S Foley| T: S Byrne| OR: 51| C

25/1

Winner of two of his 27 starts at this venue but yet to score in six starts over C&D. Looks opposable and needs others to run below par to have a chance in this.

Form: 480-706

Goodwood Showman^t²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: R Coakley| T: J P Fahey| OR: 63

11/1

Sole win in 17 career starts came on turf with the Showcasing gelding still looking for a breakthrough success in four starts at this venue.

Form: 7900-60

Emperor Of Fashion¹¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Jessica Maye⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J Geoghegan| OR: 37

100/1

Struggling, lightly raced maiden of seven starts. Off for over 12 months, returning to finish last of 13 beaten over 14L when last seen in November. Not in the form required to be considered in this contest.

Form: 70000/0-

Spanish Dawn^h,t³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Wayne Lordan| T: J C McConnell| OR: 46| CD

9/2

Boasts a solid record over C&D with a win and three place efforts to her name from eight starts over the combination. Well held over 1m4f at this venue last month but more expected dropping in trip.

Forecasts

Will Be King (6/4), Narynkol (9/4), Lady De Vesci (5/2), Spanish Dawn (9/2), Goodwood Showman (11/1), Sicario (12/1), Guiding (14/1), Aaron Boy (16/1), Dayereh (25/1), Tennesse Waltz (25/1), Ekanse (66/1), Mashell (66/1), Emperor Of Fashion (100/1)

The Denis Hogan-trained NARYNKOL can get back to winning ways here following a couple of hiccups since landing the spoils over 1m4f in February. The five-year-old wont mind the drop in trip and can win for the second time in his career at the expense of the Joseph O'Brien-trained Will Be King. Guiding for trainer Shane Nolan is heading back down to her last winning mark and could go well at a price while C&D winner Lady De Vesci appears more than capable of hitting the frame.
