Treble Cone²³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Colin Keane| T: G Keane| OR: 64| CD

3/1

Sole career success in 15 starts came over this C&D in May last year. Completely lost his way towards the end of the 2019 campaign but back on his winning mark for return here.

Form: 360700-

Aisteoir²²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger| OR: 63

8/1

Improved from her first two starts to finish runner-up at the Curragh in October. Very disappointing on handicap debut at Dundalk in the winter and doesn't always look the easiest ride; remains with potential but career best came on soft.

Form: 6020-

Knock Flyer¹³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: N J Ryan⁽¹⁰⁾| T: D J Barry| OR: 62

33/1

Promising enough debut but has finished tailed off in three subsequent efforts including handicap debut last time at Dundalk; has issues from the stalls and probably best watched from wide draw here.

Form: 400-0

(21)

New Vocation³¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Gary Carroll| T: M Mulvany| OR: 62

16/1

Inconsistent but managed to dominate a competitive Navan handicap (1m2f) from the front in July 2019. Executing those tactics won't be easy from the widest draw and was hit with a hefty rise in the weights for her win; best watched on yard debut.

Form: 403919-

Angelorum³⁸⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Ross Coakley| T: J M Oxx| OR: 60

12/1

Bits of promise in a couple of her efforts in maidens but beaten a long way on handicap debut last time out and looks in need of relief from the assessor; starts out for new yard.

Form: 84/00-

(10)

Reddiac²³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 60

7/1

Starts out for a new yard (bought for 7,000 gns) and arrives here a 13-race maiden having been frustrating to follow for Ed Dunlop. Might have a race in him from this mark but this is competitive and might be best watched for now.

Form: 442395-

(8)

Wherewithal^h1,t⁸¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M Halford| OR: 56

18/1

A maiden after five starts and hasn't looked well-handicapped in any way following two handicap efforts at Dundalk. First-time hood applied and has plenty to find on form.

Form: 66-600

(9)

Russian Vine⁸¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Sean Davis| T: Kevin Coleman| OR: 54

33/1

Hit the frame in a maiden for her previous yard but has struggled in four handicap starts for this outfit; showed very little at Dundalk last time and others preferred.

Form: 4200-00

(13)

Lady Scathach^v²³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: N G McCullagh| T: T G McCourt| OR: 52| BF| D

9/1

Won three times over this trip last year and she's back below her last winning handicap mark. Consistent sort but her best efforts have come with a fair amount of cut in the ground.

Form: 105736-

(14)

Tennesse Waltz^b⁸⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-1| J: Shane Foley| T: S Byrne| OR: 49| D

18/1

His two wins since 2017 have both come in claiming company and he's shown very little since joining this yard. Well-handicapped on old form but all his best turf efforts came on slower surface than what is likely here.

Form: 80-7069

(20)

Giorni Felice¹⁹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: C D Maxwell⁽³⁾| T: Francis Casey| OR: 48

12/1

Won a heavy ground maiden at Roscommon but that's his only success since 2017. Showed nothing on debut for yard last time out and others preferred.

(1)

Palabres^b1²⁹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Chris Hayes| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 46

20/1

Eight-race maiden who has failed to hit the frame as of yet. Struggled in three starts for this yard and likely best watched at present.

Form: 00/7660-

(17)

Arcanecho⁸¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Rory Cleary| T: T Cleary| OR: 45

33/1

11-race maiden who showed bits of form at the start of last year but very disappointing when last seen in a claimer; likely best watched.

Form: 5/440-08

(4)

Fair Game^p,t²¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: Declan McDonogh| T: E J O'Grady| OR: 45

8/1

Two wins from 43 starts and hasn't won a race since 2016. Ran okay mid-season last year but lost her way towards the end of the campaign and hard to fancy here.

Form: 309090-

(16)

Irregardless²⁰²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: J P Shinnick⁽⁷⁾| T: D Kinsella| OR: 45

66/1

Well beaten on all 11 starts and has failed to hit the frame to date. Showed no improvement at Dundalk in November and widely drawn here.

Form: 000600-

(19)

Miss Moneybags^t⁹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: James J Doyle| T: L Lennon| OR: 45

50/1

Beaten a long way on all six starts and has shown nothing since the switch to handicaps. Eased down at Dundalk last time and has a wide draw here; hard to fancy.

Form: 0089-90

(12)

Santorini Sun^t¹¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Killian Leonard| T: F G Hand| OR: 45

18/1

Hasn't won since debut in 2017 and failed to build on a third of 14 at Dundalk on debut for this yard in three starts since; out the handicap and seemingly better over further than this.

Form: 8430-70

(7)

Tyriana^h³⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Alan Persse⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Flynn| OR: 45

33/1

Tailed off on all three starts in maidens; drops back in trip on handicap debut but hard to build any sort of case for.

Forecasts

Treble Cone (3/1), Reddiac (7/1), Fair Game (8/1), Aisteoir (8/1), Lady Scathach (9/1), Angelorum (12/1), Giorni Felice (12/1), New Vocation (16/1), Wherewithal (18/1), Santorini Sun (18/1), Tennesse Waltz (18/1), Palabres (20/1), Tyriana (33/1), Russian Vine (33/1), Knock Flyer (33/1), Seenit Doneit Next (33/1), Upwey (33/1), Arcanecho (33/1), Miss Moneybags (50/1), Irregardless (66/1)

Treble Cone is back on his last winning mark that was a course and distance success last year but in a competitive event, a chance is taken on LADY SCATHACH who is back below her last winning mark. Kinch is worthy of consideration if he gets in the race (first reserve).
