Angel Fish^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Ben Coen⁽³⁾| T: P F McEnery| OR: 70

50/1

Six-race maiden with Joseph O'Brien and wasn't progressing; back from 242-day absence when beaten nearly 15L at Sligo (1m5f, good; 125-1) in a handicap this month and plenty more needed up in trip.

Form: 43270-8

Guild¹¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: G M Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: L Comer| OR: 70

18/1

Only success came for Roger Charlton in maiden company in 2018; shaped with promise early in the year at Dundalk (including over 2m) and worth a market check back on turf with Gavin Ryan on top claiming 5lb.

Form: 00-220V

Penny Out¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: T E Whelan| T: J E Kiely| OR: 70| C

3/1

Prominent racer has twice shaped well in maidens at this course over shorter in the last month; winning form over hurdles ensures no worries over this longer trip and one to consider on first h'cap start in this code.

Form: 60-54

Charle Brune⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Paddy Harnett⁽⁷⁾| T: T Shanahan| OR: 63

25/1

Outran SP of 66-1 when close fourth at Fairyhouse (1m4f, good to firm) on return to action last month. Not as good since at the Curragh but winning hurdler ought to be suited by this stamina test.

Cabalgata^p1,t1¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Wayne Lordan| T: J Halley| OR: 61

11/1

French import remains a maiden after two starts for this trainer; she wasn't without promise including over 2m1f at Bellewstown this month and could have place claims from reduced rating with array of headgear added.

Form: 233P46

(6)

Mandarin Monarch^p²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: James J Doyle| T: A McNamara| OR: 60

10/1

Poor on reappearance at Leopardstown last month but much more like it at Fairyhouse (1m5½f, good; 22-1) since when beaten under 3L in finishing sixth of 16. Longer trip no concern.

Form: 0-90V06

(8)

Talsara^b,t³²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-1| J: K J Leonard| T: T Foley| OR: 55| D

16/1

Long-standing 26-race maiden on the level, ran better than odds suggested on return from 569-day absence at Fairyhouse (1m4f, good to firm; 40-1) last month and so cannot be ruled out if building on that up in trip. Others more likely, however.

Form: 63544/6

(12)

A Place Apart¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Ronan Whelan| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 54

5/1

Maiden, ran well (third) on return at Leopardstown (1m4f, good; 7-1) last month and may be competitive here after two lacklustre outings over fences (including a fall) since.

Form: 74238/3

Lalipour¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Chris Hayes| T: G Elliott| OR: 53

17/2

Broke his duck when taking 1m5f soft-ground Navan handicap last month on seasonal bow; held since under 7lb penalty and needs a bit more again going up in distance.

Form: 0560-19

(7)

Give Battle¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 8-12| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁵⁾| T: C Byrnes| OR: 52| D

6/1

Unconvincing maiden, ran a decent recent when fourth of 12 (beaten 2¾L) at Bellewstown (1m6f, yielding; 15-2) recently but wouldn't be a certainty to back that up now.

Form: 59806-4

(16)

Red Vermillion¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Sean Davis| T: Kevin Coleman| OR: 51

6/1

Mare produced a much-improved showing when scoring at Fairyhouse (1m5½f, good; 22-1) last month; unable to back that up since at Bellewstown since however and needs to find a bit more.

Form: 90-6610

Recommendation^p,h1²⁹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-9| J: A J Farragher⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss A Mooney| OR: 49

66/1

Six-race maiden on the Flat and hadn't been offering much in terms of encouragement over jumps when last sighted; remains opposable on return to action.

Form: 0707/80-

(2)

Ard Na Carraig^b,t¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 8-8| J: A J Slattery⁽³⁾| T: O McKiernan| OR: 48| D

28/1

1-42 career record with the success coming in a beginners' chase at Downpatrick back in 2018; well held in two starts over hurdles lately and can be overlooked here.

Form: 57/6600-

Morley Gunner^p¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-6| J: Rory Cleary| T: S Donohoe| OR: 45

80/1

Finished last of 18 in 1m2f Navan handicap a fortnight ago and makes no appeal here as a result. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 70097-0

(4)

Ringo Kid^t²⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 8-6| J: Nathan Crosse⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs O Byrne| OR: 45

22/1

22-race maiden on the Flat, returning from a 242-day layoff here going up in trip and others make significantly more appeal.

Forecasts

Penny Out (3/1), A Place Apart (5/1), Red Vermillion (6/1), Give Battle (6/1), Lalipour (17/2), Mandarin Monarch (10/1), Cabalgata (11/1), Talsara (16/1), Guild (18/1), Ringo Kid (22/1), Charle Brune (25/1), Katie's Reign (25/1), Ard Na Carraig (28/1), Angel Fish (50/1), Recommendation (66/1), Morley Gunner (80/1)

Plenty of these are searching for form but not so PENNY OUT who has twice shaped well in maidens over around 1m4f recently. John Kiely's mare is a fair hurdler and should be well suited by this trip on handicap bow in this code, ensuring a mark of 70 looks exploitable. Charle Brune is another entitled to be suited by the test offered while Guild exhibited enough promise on the Polytrack at Dundalk early in the year to warrant a mention with Gavin Ryan taking off a handy 5lb.
