11/8

Colt by Charm Spirit out of a Elusive Quality mare. Half-brother to three winners including Cabanac a winner up to 1m3f. Won on debut at odds of 20/1 over C&D when last seen in November. Another bold show likely on return.

Flower Garland²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Gavin Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: Donnacha O'Brien| OR: 79| CD

15/8

Off the mark for connections at the seventh time of asking on her second start over C&D in a 12-runner maiden last month. Recent efforts suggest plenty of improvement could be on the cards and worth respecting here.

Form: 562-521

Point Reyes^b¹⁰⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: C D Maxwell⁽³⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 78| CD

20/1

Off the mark for connections at the seventh attempt when landing a 14-runner handicap over C&D in November. Well held over 7f at this venue since but has the form to make a bold bid.

Strip Light²¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M Halford

11/1

Outstrip colt out of a Dark Angel mare. Dam winner of one of her 14 career starts coming over the 5f trip at Down Royal. Well held and never a factor on tough debut in a 29-runner handicap at the Curragh when last seen in August.

Line Judge⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien

4/1

Daughter of Dawn Approach out of a Stret Cry mare. Caught the eye on debut at this track over 7f on sole start in January finishing third of the 13 runners in an 8K maiden. Open to plenty of improvement.

Linda's Grace

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Gearoid Brouder⁽⁷⁾| T: K H Clarke

80/1

Daughter of Morpheus out of a Silver Charm mare. Closely related to four-time winner over 6f/7f as a two-year-old, Lexington Grace. Appears to be an uphill task on debut.

The Donnacha O'Brien-trained FLOWER GARLAND can grab a second career win in the hands of 5lb claimer Gavin Ryan. The three-year-old won in facile fashion last month in a maiden over C&D and can win for the second time over C&D at the expense of the Joseph O'Brien-trained/Qatar Racing-owned Line Judge who ran with credit on debut at this track over 7f on sole start in January finishing third of the 13 runners. The Henry De Bromhead-trained Aerclub kept on well in the closing stages to win on debut over C&D when last seen in November and looks a major player in this contest.
