Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: K J Manning| T: T Collins| OR: 61

Four-race maiden who improved for a couple of starts on the AW at Dundalk in December and March. Bit more needed than a couple of career efforts on turf at the Curragh and Leopardstown last year.

Improving sort on the AW at Dundalk in four career starts at the venue between November and March before a dismal effort on turf in a Naas 6f handicap on good/Firm ground last Monday. Others preferred.

13/2

Daughter of Dark Angel. Seven-race maiden, well held on turf debut in a Leopardstown 7f handicap on Good to Firm ground last Tuesday. Profile suggests she is worth taking on again.

Slieve Bearnagh²¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M Halford| OR: 56

8/1

Zoffany gelding out of a Galileo mare. Well beaten and no impression on all career starts so far. Needs to show more sparkle before any faith is shown in him.

Form: 0900-

Dark Design²⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Gary Carroll| T: J G Murphy| OR: 55

17/2

Well down the field when well held on five dismal career starts so far. Needs a chunk of improvement if he is to play a role in the finish in this contest.

Red Beacon^t1¹⁹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Leigh Roche| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 55

11/1

Well beaten, making no impression and looking a little one-paced in four career starts to date, including when last seen on the AW at Dundalk in December. Looks a tall order on form shown.

Form: 0900-

Miss Cunning¹⁸⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Scott McCullagh⁽⁵⁾| T: K Prendergast| OR: 54

14/1

Off the mark for connections at the fifth time of asking when landing a 6f contest on the AW at Dundalk in November off a 4lb lower mark. Well held in a couple of starts at the venue since and unlikely to be troubling the judge in this contest.

Form: 906188-

Stage Power²²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: M A Enright| T: S Lynam| OR: 54

33/1

Colt by Tamayuz out of a Lawman mare. Has been a long way down the field on his three starts so far including when last seen in November beaten 20L at Naas over 6f. Hard to entertain his chances in this company.

Form: 000-

Urban Boom^v²⁷¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D A McCormack⁽⁵⁾| T: D Donovan| OR: 52

28/1

Six-race maiden, yet tio hit the frame on any occasion racing between 6f and 7½f. Showing signs of improvement on a couple of starts late in the season when in the care of trainer Johnny Murtagh. Place claims on stable debut.

Form: 890677-

(13)

Buachaill Or^b⁹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Robbie Colgan| T: P W Flynn| OR: 48

25/1

Maiden, yet to hit the frame in six career starts. Produced a career best effort on the AW at Dundalk when last seen in March finishing fifth of the 13 runners, beaten 2½L. Tough ask.

Form: 037-075

Miss Dancealot²³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Mikey Sheehy⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Fahey| OR: 45

28/1

Well beaten over 14L on each of her three career starts so far since the daughter of Sir Prancealot made her debut in July. Looks a tall order on what she has shown so far.

Kosman (11/4), Tommy The Hat (6/1), Briseuse De Coeur (13/2), Slieve Bearnagh (8/1), Dark Design (17/2), Red Beacon (11/1), Kerry Blue (12/1), Golden Days (14/1), Miss Cunning (14/1), Power Of Lazarus (20/1), Buachaill Or (25/1), Miss Dancealot (28/1), Urban Boom (28/1), Stage Power (33/1)

It looks difficult to ignore the chances of the Johnny Murtagh-trained KOSMAN on his first start back since February. The Tagula gelding had been running well in defeat in a couple of starts on the AW at Dundalk around the turn of the year and can get off the mark in this contest at the expense of Red Beacon for trainer Michael O'Callaghan who appears to be the biggest danger. The Paul Flynn-trained, Buachaill Or, running with credit at Dundalk on the AW in March and Urban Boom on debut for trainer Des Donavan can compete for minor honours.
