8/1

Poor effort when last seen in a Fairyhouse 7f maiden in September following a couple of encouraging runs earlier in the season for trainer John Feane. Worth a check in the market on stable debut.

66/1

Gale Force Ten gelding out of a Celtic Swing mare. Closely related to Kareless, winner between 6f/7f and Essenaitch, successful over 1m2f. Market likely to reveal expectations.

40/1

Society Rock gelding beginning to look like a modest maiden, on Flat and over hurdles. Well held when last seen in March on the AW at Dundalk and easy to oppose once again.

Form: 6/0-5

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Scott McCullagh⁽⁵⁾| T: K Prendergast| OR: 79

11/2

Tamayuz colt. Running well in defeat in a couple of starts in July last year. Looks a progressive sort who gives the impression we may not have seen the best of him yet.

Form: 2/52-

Simon's Gang

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: S P Bird⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J Barcoe

100/1

Equiano gelding out of a Pyramus mare. Half brother to Hannagh's Turn, winner between 5f/6f. Dam won over 6f in Germany. Likely to come on for racing introduction here.

Strongbowe⁴⁰²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Lee| T: P Twomey

5/6

Siyouni gelding. €75,000 as a yearling that finally went for 55,000 guineas as a two-year-old. Third of 13 beaten 1½L on sole career start to date in a Cork 1m2f maiden in May last year. Can give a good account.

Form: 3-

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: M A Enright| T: A A Howard

50/1

Elzaam gelding out of a Echo Of Light mare. Cost €2,000 as a foal before going unsold at €2,400 in November 2017. Best watched on debut for Co Kildare yard not renowned for debut winners.

150/1

Nothing of note in five disappointing career efforts so far including a couple of spins over hurdles at Leopardstown and Clonmel in March this year. Watching brief on Flat debut.

Dedillon²²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Ben Coen⁽³⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 75

4/1

Daughter of Dylan Thomas. Has failed to turn some obvious potential into winning form and beginning to be expensive to follow. Not seen since a 5¼L defeat ion the AW at Dundalk in November.

Howdoyathinkifeel

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Mikey Sheehy⁽⁷⁾| T: B Cawley

125/1

Daughter of Society Rock out of a Docksider mare. Not sold (4,500) at the yearling sales in October 2017. Cost ,200 and then €1,000 as a two-year-old. Makes little appeal on debut.

Kappa Kayleigh

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: C D Maxwell⁽³⁾| T: D Donovan

80/1

Alhebayeb filly out of a High Chaparral mare. Closely related to Narnia Dawn winner over 7f/1m. Yards newcomers often come on for the run.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: D W O'Connor⁽³⁾| T: J F Levins| OR: 68

9/1

Daughter of Acclamation. Not disgraced in a number of creditable runs in her career so far. Not seen since a spin on the AW at Dundalk in October but could be a live contender in this line-up.

Tiffany's Power

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: P B Beggy| T: L Comer

100/1

Frozen Power filly out of a Echo Of Light mare. Dam unraced. Hard to make a case for on debut representing Co Meath yard who last saddled a Flat winner in 2011.

Wiggles²⁶¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Gary Mahon⁽⁵⁾| T: D Howard

200/1

By Rock Of Gibraltar out of a prolific Flat winning mare. Well beaten 87L on debut in a Navan bumper over 2m in September last year and remains easy to oppose in this contest.

First Reserve: Declaration Of War colt out of a Night Shift mare. Cost $35,000 as a yearling before going for £62,000 as a two-year-old. Market likely to reveal expectations on debut.

Forecasts

Strongbowe (5/6), Dedillon (4/1), Mudlahhim (11/2), Blue Wood (8/1), Silk Air (9/1), Red Leader (14/1), El Padre (33/1), Ekanse (40/1), Wish Me (50/1), Celtic Force (66/1), Kappa Kayleigh (80/1), Simon's Gang (100/1), Tiffany's Power (100/1), Howdoyathinkifeel (125/1), All Class (150/1), Wiggles (200/1)

The Kevin Predergast-trained MUDLAHHIM can build on a couple of encouraging efforts 12 months ago to get off the mark for connections at the fourth time of asking. The Tamayuz colt ran with credit in defeat at Leopardstown over 1m1f and Galway over 7f in July last year and can get the better of Strongbowe, beaten 1½L on sole career start to date at Cork in May 2019 and Dedillon for trainer Andrew Slattery. Blue Wood could be worth a market check on first start for trainer Mick Halford, while Red Leader and El Padre look the most interesting newcomers.
