Trish's Company²¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Billy Lee| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 67

10/3

Much improved when leading late to land a 1m maiden at Dundalk in November. Bit to find from opening mark, but unexposed, and may well do better still.

Form: 001-

Tashman^b⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Gavin Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 66

3/1

Better known as a hurdler but appreciated the return to the Flat when scoring in a tight finish at Roscommon earlier this month; up in the weights but with confidence up, he could go well.

Form: 3060/0-1

(3)

Kinch^p²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: D W O'Connor⁽³⁾| T: J F Levins| OR: 63

9/2

Showed he was just as useful on turf as he is on the AW with decent placed efforts at Limerick two days ago; encouraging he is turned out so quick and definitely one for the shortlist.

Form: 623143

Dancing Doll²⁵³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Paddy Harnett⁽⁷⁾| T: M Flannery| OR: 61

40/1

Sole win in 21 race career has come on the AW, with the daughter of Invincible Spirit mare still looking for her first win on turf in 16 starts; slightly improved form when last seen at Thurles in October gives her a slight chance.

Form: 3/05085-

Rockview Roman¹⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Killian Leonard| T: J C McConnell| OR: 60

22/1

Was in fine form on the AW over slightly further in the winter; yet to make the frame on any of his appearances on turf but is relatively lightly-raced and open to improvement; one to note.

Form: 97118-6

Rock On Seamie²⁸²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Darragh O'Keeffe⁽⁵⁾| T: R Hackett| OR: 59| CD

18/1

Won over course and distance in April 2019, and has mixed Flat and hurdling since. Well beaten on latest start at Listowel in September; needs a sizeable improvement to mix it here but return to this track may help.

Form: 134500-

Ubume⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: T E Whelan| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 69

13/2

Running well in defeat in a couple of starts at the turn of the year on the AW at Dundalk and on latest start at Gowran Park last week; going in right direction and one to consider.

Form: 664

Overheer³⁸³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Gary Carroll| T: J G Murphy| OR: 56

15/2

Beaten 11L in a 1m maiden at Listowel (yielding) when last seen in June 2019; probably best watched on first attempt in a handicap after such a long absence.

Form: 985-

Cap D'Antibes⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: A Mackay⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Murphy| OR: 65

33/1

Eight-race maiden generally well held and never nearer in a number of starts on the AW at Dundalk in handicap company around the turn of the year as well as last week at Gowran Park; hard to recommend at present.

Form: 5800-07

(6)

Pineapple Express⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁵⁾| T: G J Power| OR: 63

66/1

Vast amount of improvement needed based on a couple of dismal efforts at Thurles and Leopardstown in October last year and on reappearance run at Gowran Park recently.

Form: 80-9

(14)

Out On Friday⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Vanessa Maye⁽⁷⁾| T: P Byrne| OR: 50

20/1

11-race maiden on turf. Running with credit in a couple of starts between July and September last term but appeared to have regressed based on seasonal reappearance run recently at Gowran Park.

Form: 08958-9

Dashing Diamond⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Andrew Slattery⁽⁵⁾| T: M Hassett| OR: 55

14/1

Put all known form behind her when running an encouraging race at Gowran Park recently on her handicap debut; this extra trip should suit and is respected at this level.

Although better on the AW, ROCKVIEW ROMAN is the selection in a tough race to find the winner. His AW form was over slightly further but this trip should suit and he deserves another chance on turf. Kinch is equally adept on either turf or the AW. The gelding was placed at Limerick two days ago and it is encouraging he is sent out again so quickly. Ubume has not torn up any trees but has been improving with each race and her time will come.
