(3)

Comfort Line¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Leigh Roche| T: M Mulvany| OR: 79

15/2

Experienced seven-race maiden, yet to hit the frame in six starts on turf. Has been seen following Protagonist around Gowran Park and Fairyhouse recently and needs a few to falter in this contest.

Form: 00-2456

(8)

Silvertown¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: S M Crosse⁽³⁾| T: A Oliver| OR: 79

5/2

Off the mark for connections at the fourth time of asking landing a Tipperary 1m1f contest on good ground on handicap debut last month off a 9lb lower mark. Life more difficult from revised mark.

Form: 955-1

(2)

Charlie Bassett²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: Gavin Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: N Meade| OR: 78

10/3

Five-race maiden who has hit the frame on two occasions from four of his starts on turf. Beaten 8L on return to action at Leopardstown last month. Could be worth a check in the market on handicap debut.

Form: 5333-0

(5)

Springbank²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Gary Halpin| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 77

7/2

Galileo colt out of a Choisir mare. Looks hard to make a case for following a disastrous seasonal debut at Leopardstown last month but yard are in good form and it would come as no surprise to witness a chunk of improvement.

Form: 396-0

(6)

Grey Serge^p1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Ross Coakley| T: J C McConnell| OR: 72

50/1

Unreliable colt, yet to hit the frame in eight starts so far. Nearer last than first on seasonal reappearance at Leopardstown last month. First time cheekpieces unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

Form: 39856-0

(4)

The Truant^p²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Scott McCullagh⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 72

5/1

Seven-race maiden who has failed to land any prize money in five starts on turf. Promising first start back in a Leopardstown 1m2f handicap last month and could develop at this age.

Form: 950-536

(7)

Varna Gold¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Robbie Colgan| T: P J Gilligan| OR: 69

50/1

Life not getting any easier for the eight-race maiden, failing to hit the frame in a couple of starts on turf at Naas and on return to action at Tipperary last month.

Form: 63-8970

(9)

Yulong Moneyreef^b1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: C P Hoban| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 68

25/1

Son of Fastnet Rock. Well held in three career starts to date. Likely to be dangerous at the business end of proceedings, one of two in the field making their handicap debut.

Form: 9-06

(1)

Complete Fantasy^b1¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: K J Manning| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 63

12/1

Make Believe colt, cost €25,000 as a yearling. Half-brother to seven winners including a Group 2 winning sprinter. Going backwards at present and hard to make a case for.

Form: 77-99

Forecasts

Silvertown (5/2), Charlie Bassett (10/3), Springbank (7/2), The Truant (5/1), Comfort Line (15/2), Complete Fantasy (12/1), Yulong Moneyreef (25/1), Varna Gold (50/1), Grey Serge (50/1)

SILVERTOWN gave the impression he may make-up into a nice three-year-old with an assertive victory on seasonal debut in a Tipperary 1m1f handicap on good/yielding ground last month. The gelding can win for the second time at the expense of the Jessica Harrington-trained Yulong Moneyreef, in first-time blinkers, who may prove better than his three starts suggest on handicap debut. Charlie Bassett for trainer Noel Meade and the second of two in the line-up for the yard, The Truant can compete for minor honours.
