Magi Gal^t²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Siobhan Rutledge⁽⁷⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 69| CD

22/1

Off the mark on this surface at the seventh time of asking on her fourth start over C&D when landing a 14 runner handicap off a 10lb lower mark in January. Return run at Roscommon last month can be forgiven. Place claims.

Form: 425-160

Secret Wizard¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-1| J: Robbie Colgan| T: C O'Dwyer| OR: 68| C

50/1

Down the field and never nearer in three desolate efforts since racing returned last month. Has hit the frame in four of his nine previous starts over C&D. Not to be totally dismissed.

Form: 026000

(2)

New Vocation¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Ben Coen⁽³⁾| T: M Mulvany| OR: 67| CD

14/1

Winner of one of three starts over C&D. The daughter of Vocalised has been in good form in four starts since racing resumed on turf last month. Drop back to this trip and return to this venue sure to suit.

Form: 19-4220

(6)

Cache Queen²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Leigh Roche| T: A McGuinness| OR: 65| CD

3/1

Winner of one of five starts over C&D with the daughter of Kodiac hitting the frame on a further couple of occasions. Running well on a number of starts on turf since racing resumed and a major player back on this surface.

Form: 225-524

(11)

Lady De Vesci⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Sean Davis| T: M Halford| OR: 64| CD

13/2

Returned to action with a couple of decent efforts at Roscommon and Navan. Winner of three of her 10 starts over C&D, the daughter of Approve is expected to make another bold bid.

Form: 0-04245

(9)

No Trouble⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: O J Orr| T: N C Kelly| OR: 61| CD

20/1

Winner over C&D from three starts over the combination. Possibly needed the run on return to the track at Navan earlier this month and one to note in the betting as post time approaches.

Form: 19-2180

(8)

Sinseir^t²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Gary Halpin| T: J Feane| OR: 61

66/1

Six-race maiden, yet to hit the frame on any occasion. Lightly raced in the last 12 months, the gelding needs to show more sparkle before any faith is placed in him.

Form: 4/000-00

(12)

Tuamhain⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: C J Orr⁽⁵⁾| T: N C Kelly| OR: 60

100/1

Tailed off on first start for new connections at Navan over a similar trip earlier this month. Non-runner at Leopardstown yesterday but needs to take a mighty step forward to get competitive in this contest.

Form: 00178-0

Glory^v²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: C D Maxwell⁽³⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 58

14/1

Still looking for first success in 18 career starts. ran well in defeat when last seen at Leopardstown last month but well held on sole effort over C&D back in January.

Form: 77-7477

(1)

Wojood^p1,t¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: James J Doyle| T: D Hogan| OR: 58

9/1

Yet to hit the frame in eight career starts including a couple of efforts on the AW at Lingfield and at this track in March. First time cheekpieces unlikely to bring about the required amount of progression needed to land a blow here.

Form: 0/60-586

(4)

Wisaka^p1⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Shane Kelly⁽³⁾| T: A Murray| OR: 55

40/1

Beaten in four starts at this venue between November/March over trips of 6f/7f/1m. Appears to have a mountain to climb stepping up in trip.

Form: 60-580

(7)

Calidus Mirabilis²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle⁽⁷⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 64| C

11/4

Failed to land a hat-trick of victories when finishing fourth of six runners in a Lingfield 1m2f handicap as the 15/8 beaten favourite in February. Pleasing effort on return to action at Roscommon last month and likely to improve for that run here.

Form: 40-1145

(13)

Dromod Lad²²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: M A Gallagher| T: E P Harty| OR: 46

6/1

11-race maiden, ran well in defeat at this track over 7f in December finishing second of 14 runners beaten 1L. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 0724-64

Dance Emperor¹

T: Peter Fahey J: D W O'Connor

Forecasts

Calidus Mirabilis (11/4), Cache Queen (3/1), Dromod Lad (6/1), Lady De Vesci (13/2), Wojood (9/1), New Vocation (14/1), Glory (14/1), Dance Emperor (16/1), No Trouble (20/1), Magi Gal (22/1), Wisaka (40/1), Secret Wizard (50/1), Sinseir (66/1), Tuamhain (100/1)

The early pace set by New Vocation should set the race up nicely for the Joseph O'Brien-trained CALIDUS MIRABILIS to win for the second time at this venue. The gelding won here over 1m in January and can get first run for line ahead of the Ado McGuiness-trained Cache Queen, solid and consistent sort over C&D and the main danger in this contest. C&D winners, Lady De Vesci for trainer Mick Halford, the Noel Kelly-trained No Trouble and top-weight Magi Gal can all give good accounts.
