Colonel Lesley¹²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-12| J: Alan O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: E M O'Sullivan

100/1

Struggled on his only two Flat appearances as a two-year-old; similar story over hurdles and difficult to believe he will be good enough over this trip.

Form: 7/0-

Mr Diablo¹³⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 11-12| J: R Deegan⁽⁵⁾| T: J P Dempsey

9/1

Veteran who makes his Flat debut here; has winning form over hurdles and over fences but has lost his way in recent years with last win coming back in 2017.

Muyam Spirit¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr J Hogan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan

22/1

Rated a 105 handicapper over the larger obstacles. Last seen finishing fourth of 18 beaten over 15L in a Cork 2m4f beginners contest in January; disappointing on Flat debut late last month and plenty of improvement needed.

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Ms G O'Donnell⁽⁷⁾| T: K F O'Donnell

40/1

A couple of placed efforts over hurdles but no show in any bumper performances; unlikely to be good enough on Flat debut.

Rocket Lad⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Miss R Dudfield⁽⁷⁾| T: E Mullins

4/1

Rated 137 over hurdles, but form was starting to tail off in that sphere when he was last seen. Smart in bumpers (2-4) prior to going over hurdles; well beaten on recent run on the Flat; quick turnaround encouraging but improvement needed.

Form: 0

Run For Oscar³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr P Byrnes⁽⁷⁾| T: C Byrnes| BF

1/3

Improved for each run in bumpers culminating in a success on the third time of asking at Leopardstown in March; fair effort on Flat debut recently at Fairyhouse; looks form pick.

Form: 7

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Ms L O'Neill| T: S Fahey| BF

15/2

125 rated hurdler when last seen on a racecourse in 2017; hard to assess after long absence but difficult to see her being good enough.

Rojo^h¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr J M Burke⁽⁷⁾| T: J M Burke

100/1

Daughter of Dutch Art out of a USA bred mare. €200,000 as a yearling dropped to a sale costing €1,000 as a four-year-old. Dam, winner in France over 7f; problem leaving stalls on debut earlier this month and subsequently pulled up.

Well Polly²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr W T Cronin⁽⁷⁾| T: A J McNamara

100/1

Has only shown glimpses of ability in bumpers and over hurdles; more needed than shown on recent Flat debut.

Forecasts

Run For Oscar (1/3), Supasundae (1/1), Rocket Lad (4/1), Accompanied (4/1), Is She Diesel (15/2), Mr Diablo (9/1), Blackpoint (12/1), Muyam Spirit (22/1), Rightplacerightime (40/1), Colonel Lesley (100/1), Well Polly (100/1), Rojo (100/1)

Not much in the way of form with which to pick a winner but a very tentative nod is given to RUN FOR OSCAR. The five-year-old made a reasonable debut on the Flat recently at Fairyhouse and while the form was not great a repeat might be good enough to land this contest. Supasundae is a high class staying hurdler on his day and if interested enough over this 1m6f contest might be professional enough to win it. Well Polly and Muyam Spirit both have outside chances if improving on their recent outings on the Flat.
