One In All In²³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Ronan Whelan| T: G O'Loughlin| OR: 64

6/1

10-race maiden still searching for the winning thread in four starts on turf. Running well in defeat when last seen in November but looks up against it on return.

Form: 348/393-

Cliff House¹⁵⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 10-1| J: Mikey Sheehy⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs D A Love| OR: 63

7/1

Decent form on the level but well beaten when last seen on the Flat at Down Royal in August. Unlikely to make an impact now racing 10lb lower than last winning mark.

Form: 867/024-

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: G P Brouder⁽⁷⁾| T: J Nash| OR: 63

50/1

Lightly raced gelding not seen since finishing last of seven beaten 33L at the Curragh two years ago. Faces an uphill task on return to action.

Mandarin Monarch^p,t¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: James J Doyle| T: A McNamara| OR: 60| C

22/1

One from eight on turf, finished last but one in an 18-runner contest at Leopardstown over 1m4f on return to action earlier this month, beaten 28L. Looks opposable in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 1/0-90V0

Grove Hill^t²⁶⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: J M Sheridan⁽⁷⁾| T: J McAuley| OR: 59

33/1

Another runner that swaps from the yard of Denis Hogan to current connections. Not seen since a decent run on the AW at Dundalk in October. Looks up against it on stable debut, racing 5lb below last winning mark.

Forgetthesurprise^t⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: T P Madden| T: N Madden| OR: 58

20/1

Winner of a Killarney bumper 12 months ago before showing very little in subsequent races over hurdles and on the Flat on the AW at Dundalk and earlier this month at Limerick over 1m4½f. Needs to improve on even her best form.

Form: 0-77

(18)

Lopito^t¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Darragh O'Keeffe⁽⁵⁾| T: C A McBratney| OR: 58

40/1

10-race maiden still looking for breakthrough success in eight starts on turf. 10th of 17 beaten 10L when sent off at odds of 66/1 on seasonal debut at Leopardstown earlier this month tells an informative story.

Form: 248/80-0

(5)

Future Gold⁶

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

22/1

Overwhelmed in six career starts so far including on return at Tipperary earlier this month. Sent off a big prices before running accordingly on each occasion. Yet to look like a winner in waiting.

Form: 80000-0

Ilikehim^b¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: R P Downey| T: W Durkan| OR: 57

7/2

17-race maiden, ran on for pressure to finish second of 14 beaten ½L at this venue over 1m4f on seasonal debut earlier this month. Could well still have more to give.

Form: 02578-2

(17)

Getaway Queen^p,t¹¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: C P Hoban| T: D Budds| OR: 50

6/1

Has been in fine form on the AW winning her last two starts at Dundalk in November/December. Yet to hit the frame in six starts on turf but appears to have every chance of going close in this company.

Form: 08/4311-

(10)

Mr Boss Man^v1¹⁰⁹

Age: 12| Weight: 9-1| J: S M Mooney⁽⁷⁾| T: N Slevin| OR: 49| D

50/1

Winner of one of his 10 starts on turf. Sports first-time visor on comeback run. Unlikely to be troubling the judge racing 16lb lower than last winning mark.

Form: 975803/

(14)

Yamato^t¹³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Rory Cleary| T: J C McConnell| OR: 49

16/1

Racing on the AW at Newcastle, Wolverhampton and a couple of spins at Dundalk without success between December and when last seen in February. Yet to hit the frame in 12 starts on turf which tells it's own story.

Form: 3102-40

(16)

Oromo^t¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: K Thornton| OR: 48| C

3/1

Off the mark at the 22nd attempt for connections when landing a 1m4f contest at this venue earlier this month off a 3lb lower mark at odds of 28/1. No surprise to see another bold bid.

Form: 92537-1

(7)

Katie's Reign²⁹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Chris Hayes| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 46

16/1

Not disgraced when beaten over 7L on her final start for the Dermot Weld yard when last seen in November. Five-race maiden who is yet to hit the frame on any of her starts, best watched on stable debut.

Form: 87900-

Mianna²⁰¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: S M Duffy| OR: 46

40/1

Yet to hit the frame in six career starts so far and has already dropped 6lb from initial handicap mark given in August. Hard to entertain her chances in this contest.

Form: 0/00000-

Natch²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Siobhan Rutledge⁽⁷⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 49

66/1

Third Reserve: Long-standing maiden for various yards. Well beaten on both turf starts including on return to action at Navan over a similar trip earlier this month. Others preferred.

Forecasts

Oromo (3/1), Ilikehim (7/2), Princess Zoe (4/1), Aasleagh Fawn (9/2), One In All In (6/1), Getaway Queen (6/1), Cliff House (7/1), Wojood (12/1), Yamato (16/1), Katie's Reign (16/1), Forgetthesurprise (20/1), Mandarin Monarch (22/1), Future Gold (22/1), Grove Hill (33/1), Lopito (40/1), Mianna (40/1), Yug (50/1), Mr Boss Man (50/1), Natch (66/1)

PRINCESS ZOE is quickly turned out again following a run at Navan on Tuesday. The five-year-old can land the spoils on his second start in Ireland if ridden a little closer to the pace this time round. The mare met trouble in running as she came from the rear on Tuesday and will look for a clear run here under jockey Shane Foley. Winner on comeback in a 1m4f handicap earlier this month, Oromo can produce another bold bid with Ilikehim and Cliff House likely to compete for minor honours.
