Wilderness^v³^{(ex 6)}

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Ben Coen⁽³⁾| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 59

11/8

Returned from long absence to score well at Gowran Park three days ago over slightly shorter; certainly in good heart and if remaining sound then she has an excellent chance of following up under a penalty.

Form: 07010-1

New Vocation⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Gary Carroll| T: M Mulvany| OR: 64| D

10/3

Registered a first turf success when victorious over 1m2f at Navan last July off an 13lb lower mark; two runs this year having been useful but she is up in the weights again as a consequence; sold places claims, however.

Form: 3919-42

Bar Room Bore¹⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: J M Sheridan⁽⁷⁾| T: F Birrane| OR: 60

33/1

Nine-race maiden the Big Bad Bob gelding finished a well beaten 12th of 14on latest start at Dundalk in January; chance on best of form but plenty to prove at present.

Form: 0298-90

Crackaway^b1³⁶⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Declan McDonogh| T: G Elliott| OR: 60

20/1

Very modest form to date; being gelded failed to improve the then three-year-old on final two starts; makes his first appearance since June 2019 when trained by Harry Dunlop; sports first-time blinkers.

Form: 779/047-

Followme Followyou⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Colin Keane| T: J Davison| OR: 57

13/2

Now a 16-race maiden and showed little signs of that changing when sixth of 13 over course and distance a week ago. More on her plate now. (Declared June 21)

Form: 0-44276

(8)

Clifftop¹⁸⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Chris Hayes| T: H Rogers| OR: 56

12/1

Generally holding his form well in a number of starts since first career win at Bellewstown in August; does need to bounce back from uncharacteristic poor run last time at Dundalk.

Form: 153760-

Roman Warrior⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Shane Kelly⁽³⁾| T: F Birrane| OR: 52

25/1

Not the most consistent but does have a fair degree of talent; repeat of decent run at Dundalk in March would see him go close but he was disappointing recently at Leopardstown.

Form: 99-4920

(10)

Small Town Boy²⁷⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Shane Foley| T: J C McConnell| OR: 52

12/1

Still looking for breakthrough success in eight starts on turf. Well down the field in three starts, including finishing last of 18 at Navan on penultimate run.

Form: 480008-

Bruinneall²¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Rory Cleary| T: T Cleary| OR: 50

28/1

Improving sort, posted another bold effort in a Sligo 1m2f claimer before disappointing back in handicap company at this venue in August before a poor effort at Bellewstown over 1m later the same month.

Form: 050000-

Lady Of Luxury^t¹⁰¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Mikey Sheehy⁽⁷⁾| T: E Doyle| OR: 47

12/1

Still a maiden on turf but finally broke her maiden tag with hard fought win at Dundalk in March; more on her plate here but with confidence up she could go well.

Form: 050-351

(13)

Haunting Vocals³⁷⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: A J Farragher⁽⁷⁾| T: M Flannery| OR: 45

66/1

Victorious on heavy ground at Gowran Park (7f) as a two-year-old but struggled on last four starts before being given a long break; interesting to see what the market makes of her chance especially if rain continues to fall.

Form: 1335/00-

Ifyouhaveaminute²²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: James J Doyle| T: J Barcoe| OR: 45

100/1

Yet to hit the frame in 11 starts on the racecourse; expect her to struggle again from so far out of the handicap.

WILDERNESS returned from a long absence to score well at Gowran Park recently and is turned out again quickly under a penalty. The five-year-old mare could still be ahead of the handicapper and in her current mood may be hard to beat. Clifftop needs to put an uncharacteristic poor run last time out behind him but if able to bounce back then his previous consistency may reward backers. New Vocation has been punished slightly by the handicapper and while he should run his race may find a couple too good.
