Farnese^t¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: J M Sheridan⁽⁷⁾| T: J McAuley| OR: 61| BF

40/1

Off the mark at the fourth time of asking when landing a handicap over 7f on the AW at Dundalk in September. Mixed messages in a number of starts since and needs to improve on stable debut at Leopardstown over 1m earlier this month.

Rudisha^b⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: James J Doyle| T: D Hogan| OR: 55

10/1

11-race maiden without a win in 10 starts on turf. Well held in a couple of starts earlier this month at Gowran Park and in a Naas 1m handicap on Saturday. Others look open to more improvement.

Form: 0200-49

Tribal Path^t¹¹¹

Age: 10| Weight: 9-9| J: Colin Keane| T: D English| OR: 54| D

9/2

Solid and consistent in a number of starts over the winter on the AW at Dundalk. Last success on turf came in a Bellewstown handicap over 1m in July 2016 off a mark of 78. Capable of a big run.

Form: 314-443

Crystal Dawn¹¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Gary Carroll| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 53

11/4

Running well in defeat in a number of starts on the AW at Dundalk around the turn of the year. Worth a market check on stable debut, first run since leaving the yard of John O'Shea.

Form: 570-093

Pulsating⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: T P Madden| T: C O'Dwyer| OR: 51| D

13/2

Winner of eight of her 68 career starts with the mare still looking for a breakthrough success in 18 efforts on turf. Ran well in defeat on seasonal debut behind Amazing One over C&D earlier this month. Leading contender.

Form: 787-868

Lady Sonia¹²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: A J Slattery⁽⁵⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 46| D

5/1

Running well in defeat in a couple of starts on the AW surface at Dundalk in January/February before the break. Worthy of consideration in this company given her second of 18 over C&D two years ago.

Form: 8000-29

Rain Or Shine¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: S Foley| T: C O'Brien| OR: 46

8/1

Finished well adrift of Mulzamm in a 7f handicap at Gowran Park on return to action earlier this month. May take more than the booking of leading jockey to get off the mark for the nine-race maiden who is yet to hit the frame in four starts on turf.

Form: 66880-8

(4)

La Novia^b⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Ronan Whelan| T: L Breen| OR: 45| CD

7/1

Winner of one of her three starts over C&D, the victory coming in a handicap on good to firm ground two years ago off a similar mark. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 080-009

Pedro De Styles^t¹³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Wayne Lordan| T: T J O'Mara| OR: 45

14/1

Looks to have pitiful form on paper with the gelding yet to hit the frame in 12 career starts including five starts on turf. Looks opposable on seasonal return.

Form: 9809-48

Red All Star^b,t⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 9-0| J: K J Leonard| T: G Keane| OR: 45

80/1

Saves most of his best performances nowadays for the AW at Dundalk. Last of 12 beaten over 9L over C&D earlier this month and very little to be positive about going in to this contest.

Forecasts

Crystal Dawn (11/4), Tribal Path (9/2), Lady Sonia (5/1), Pulsating (13/2), La Novia (7/1), Rain Or Shine (8/1), Rudisha (10/1), Pedro De Styles (14/1), Minor Melody (33/1), Farnese (40/1), Red All Star (80/1)

TRIBAL PATH can win for the fourth time on turf on his 84th career start. The 10-year-old has been solid and consistent in a number of starts over the winter on the AW at Dundalk and could get a soft lead in this contest to see off Crystal Dawn on debut for trainer Gavin Cromwell. The six-year-old Conor O'Dwyer-trained Pulsating ran well in defeat on seasonal debut behind Amazing One over C&D earlier this month and can once again produce another bold bid. In a wide-open contest Rain Or Shine and Lady Sonia look capable of hitting the frame.
