5/1

Solid efforts at this venue in a good number of runs since the turn of the year. Winner of two of his 14 starts here previously but is without success in five starts over C&D. May find one or two better handicapped sorts lurking.

8/1

Built on some promising efforts when winning by ¾L over C&D in November off a 5lb lower mark. Generally well held since from revised rating and others hold stronger profiles in this contest.

28/1

Without a win n three starts at this venue but has been running well in defeat in a couple of starts over C&D. Back down to 3lb lower than last winning mark and could go well at a price.

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: James J Doyle| T: D Hogan| OR: 62| CD

8/1

Two-time winner at this track including a win over C&D from 11 starts over the combination. Second of 12 beaten ½L behind Poet's Pride over C&D last month and appears to have every chance of going close in this company.

10/1

Three-time winner at this track previously but yet to hit the target over C&D in four starts over the combination. Worth a check in the market making stable debut in first-time hood.

Casa Romano^h1²⁰⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: K J Manning| T: P J Flynn| OR: 61

25/1

Seven-race maiden not seen since a poor effort at Tramore in August over 1m2f. Third of eight on previous start at this venue last April and is hard to fancy with plenty to prove.

Lapilli⁶³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Vanessa Maye⁽⁷⁾| T: D English| OR: 61| C

16/1

Deservedly won for the second time at this venue when landing a 5K, 14-runner contest beating Red Cymbal a head off a 3lb lower mark. Market likely to be the best guide given this step up in trip.

Fashaar^h¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: C J McGovern⁽⁵⁾| T: A McCann| OR: 59| CD

20/1

Winner of two of his nine starts over C&D but the gelding appears to be regressing in a number of below-par efforts at this venue since the turn of the year running between 7f/1m. Others preferred.

Form: 5-90099

(7)

Tyrconnell^b,t²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: M A Enright| T: S Lynam| OR: 58| CD

8/1

Winner of one of his nine starts over C&D. Gelding continues to run well in defeat in a number of starts here over 6f/7f without getting his head in front. Handicapper may have given him a slight chance here.

Form: 49-6743

Above Us Only Sky⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: A J Farragher⁽⁷⁾| T: S F Magee| OR: 53

13/2

Long standing maiden of 28 career starts including 14 races at this venue. Excellent return to action over 1m here earlier in the month finishing second of 14 beaten a head by Kinch. Drop in trip may be to her advantage.

Form: 02538-2

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Shane Kelly⁽³⁾| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 53

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Declan McDonogh| T: D Marnane| OR: 50| CD

7/1

Not getting the rub of the green in a couple of recent starts at the track including over C&D last month beaten a nose by Pegasus Bridge. Deserving of a change in fortunes.

Forecasts

Billyfairplay (5/1), Above Us Only Sky (13/2), Tynamite (7/1), Beleaguerment (15/2), Mulzamm (8/1), Tyrconnell (8/1), Loaded (8/1), Tennessee Wildcat (10/1), Trueba (14/1), Lapilli (16/1), Caesar's Comet (16/1), Fashaar (20/1), Pegasus Bridge (20/1), Casa Romano (25/1), Amazing One (25/1), Distant Mirage (28/1), La Novia (50/1)

the Denis Hogan-trained MULZAMM can win for the third time at the track and second occasion over C&D. The eight-year-old ran well in defeat when going down by ½L to Poet's Pride over C&D last month off a 1lb lower mark and can hold off the attentions of stablemate Billyfairplay who went down by the shortest of margins at this venue over 6f earlier this month. The solid and consistent Lapilli can once again go well for connections while C&D winners Pegasus Bridge and Tynamite appear more than capable of hitting the frame.
