Mokhles¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: C J McGovern⁽³⁾| T: A McCann| OR: 69

80/1

Four-race maiden for Saeed Bin Suroor and showed some promise in those 2018 efforts. Last of 15 on comeback run at Navan last month. Not one to place a great deal of faith in.

Form: 5425/0

Miracles In May¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: C P Hoban| T: M A Cahill| OR: 68

7/1

In good form over the winter running, and winning, on the AW at Dundalk. One win from 11 starts on turf and down the field on disappointing seasonal return at Naas over 7f last month. Can give a good account without posing serious threat.

Form: 423-128

4/1

Put a couple of victories together on the AW at Dundalk in January and again in March over 1m2½f, his first wins in seven starts. Dangerous if transferring form to turf.

3/1

Off the mark at the eighth time of asking when landing the spoils in a 17-runner Leopardstown 1m2f handicap last month off a 4lb lower mark, his first run for 12 months. Another bold bid on the cards.

Form: 54/000-1

Whipped Cream⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Andrew Slattery⁽⁵⁾| T: A Oliver| OR: 68

20/1

Daughter of Iffraaj out of a Kheleyf mare. Well held and never nearer in three career starts so far including at the Curragh last month. Needs to show more sparkle before any faith is shown in her.

Form: 90-0

(2)

Cobb And Co¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Gavin Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: M C Grassick| OR: 65

5/1

10-race maiden but produced a career best effort finishing second of 17-runners in a Naas handicap on return to action last month. Will look to progress once again.

Form: 03477-2

Clonard Abbey²⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: C D Maxwell⁽³⁾| T: P Martin| OR: 51

50/1

Without a win in seven career starts including four defeats on turf. Lightly raced in the last two years and this looks an uphill task on reappearance.

Forecasts

Landing Zone (11/4), Lieutenant Silver (3/1), Happaugue (4/1), Cobb And Co (5/1), Alexei Vronsky (5/1), Miracles In May (7/1), Overheer (7/1), Alhajjaj (16/1), Timemakesitfine (20/1), Whipped Cream (20/1), Day Dreamin' (20/1), Mutanaqel (33/1), Clonard Abbey (50/1), Mokhles (80/1)

ALEXEI VRONSKY can confirm his win in a Roscommon handicap last month on handicap debut. The Power gelding had previously been well beaten on a couple of occasions in October at odds of 100/1 on both starts. The three-year-old got off the mark last month only getting into the contest as a reserve before going on to win by a nose as the 3/1f. Cobb And Co can build on a promising effort at Naas over 1m last month to give a good account along with the Sheila Lavery-trained Landing Zone who ran well in defeat at Leopardstown last month. Winner on the AW at Dundalk, Happaugue and the five-year-old gelding, Miracles In May look capable of competing for remaining prize money.
