Pak Army^b¹⁰⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Gavin Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: J R Barry| OR: 70| D

7/1

Stalwart over the winter on the AW at Dundalk, running many solid and consistent races. Yet to hit the frame in seven starts on turf and looks a tall order off top-weight.

Form: 8-42525

Tirmizi^h¹⁹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M Halford| OR: 70

9/1

Winner of three of his 18 Flat starts on turf. The Sea The Stars gelding needs to raise overall profile on first start since finishing down the field at Dundalk in December.

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Colin Keane| T: G Donnelly| OR: 68

22/1

Seven-maiden, runner-up over 1m2f on debut for Simon Crisford last July but well below that form in his six starts since. Overall record casts doubt on her ability to get competitive in this contest.

Form: 43560-0

New Vocation⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Nathan Crosse⁽⁵⁾| T: M Mulvany| OR: 67

10/1

Registered a first turf success when victorious over 1m2f at Navan last July off an 16lb lower mark and has continued to show a good attitude in three starts since racing resumed. Can give a good account but handicapper looks in charge.

Form: 919-422

Power Drive¹⁸⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Declan McDonogh| T: P W Flynn| OR: 67| D

33/1

Winner of his last couple of starts on the Flat, both coming on the AW at Dundalk in September/November last year off a 10lb lower mark. Life more difficult on return to action in this company.

Wajaaha¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Sean Davis| T: C Byrnes| OR: 67

6/4

120-rated handicap hurdler the New Approach gelding is without a win in nine Flat starts but did hit the frame on one of two starts on turf. Well held and no impression on return to action at Roscommon earlier this month. Worth a check in the market

Form: 246/9-56

Geolai¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger| OR: 66

9/2

New Approach filly. Made €200,000 as a yearling. Full-sister to Listed winner Glamorous Approach. Career best effort on latest start in a Fairyhouse maiden over a similar trip earlier this month. One to note on handicap debut.

Form: 344-2

Marmolata^h1²⁶⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: E J McNamara| T: E Mullins| OR: 66| BF

20/1

Three-race maiden has produced a couple of solid and consistent efforts racing between 7f/1m since making her debut at Naas 12 months ago when in the care of trainer Ger Lyons. Worth a market check in first-time hood.

Form: 533-

War Eagle^b¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: J M Sheridan⁽⁷⁾| T: P F O'Donnell| OR: 66

14/1

Previously an 14-race maiden on turf, out of luck for trainers John Gosden and Ian Williams both on the Flat and over hurdles. Ran well in defeat on stable debut at Fairyhouse earlier this month over a similar trip but more needed here.

Form: 88439-5

For Your Eyes²⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Ross Coakley| T: J C McConnell| OR: 65

40/1

11-race maiden who appeared to improve for the application of cheekpieces on the AW at Dundalk before returning to below-par efforts at the same venue when last seen in October. Losing run looks set to continue on stable debut.

Form: 535520-

Call Me Dolly²⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Chris Hayes| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 64

22/1

Form has tailed off in four starts since a promising debut at Tipperary in July last year. Hard to fancy and plenty to prove on return to action.

Form: 29600-

Pillmakers Hill^t¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Rory Cleary| T: C W J Farrell| OR: 64

11/1

No impression on winner but ran with credit in a Gowran Park handicap on seasonal debut earlier this month. Not ruled out but needs a marked improvement in this contest.

Form: 72100-2

Punters Poet⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Robbie Colgan| T: M J Smith| OR: 54

50/1

Lightly raced gelding, yet to hit the frame in three starts on the Flat including a couple of dismal efforts on turf. Unlikely to be troubling the judge.

The Jim Bolger-trained GEOLAI can get off the mark for connections at the fifth time of asking on her fourth start on turf. The daughter of New Approach can improve on a career best effort on latest start in a Fairyhouse maiden over a similar trip earlier this month. Pillmakers Hill could emerge as the biggest danger following a solid run, showing a good attitude at Gowran Park on seasonal debut earlier this month. The Michael Mulvany-trained New Vocation and Indignation, making handicap debut for trainer John McConnell should not be underestimated.
