7/1

Broke his maiden at the 13th attempt when taking a 7f handicap at Cork (good) by a head earlier this month. Interesting back up in trip despite a 5lb rise in the weights.

Form: 073-001

Bardo Contiguo²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Wayne Lordan| T: E Doyle| OR: 69

28/1

Failed to figure in three starts since joining this yard. Handicap mark is falling as a result but others hold more obvious claims on this occasion.

Form: 619-069

7/1

12 race maiden finished seventh in a 15 runner 7f handicap at Leopardstown (good) last week. Races of the same mark here and is probably best watched at present.

Form: 543-007

Swiss Army Officer¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Ben Kennedy⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Kevin Coleman| OR: 68

20/1

Ten race maiden came within a short-head of a first victory when runner-up in a 7f handicap at Leopardstown (good) earlier this month. Raised 7lb for that effort and is an interesting runner stepping up in trip.

Form: 472-702

10/1

Well beaten 13th of 14 in a handicap over an extended 1m1f at Ballinrobe (good) on seasonal debut recently. Others hold more obvious claims dropping in trip racing off a mark 6lb higher than for his most recent victory.

Form: 00100-0

New Vocation^t1⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Ben Coen⁽³⁾| T: M Mulvany| OR: 67

10/1

Run well on five of her six starts this campaign including when 1L fourth over an extended 1m1f at Ballinrobe (good) last time out. Races off the same mark here and is interesting down in trip with a tongue tie tried for the first time.

Form: 422034

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Ross Coakley| T: J Larkin| OR: 65

17/2

16 race maiden finished last of 13 in a 7f conditions event at Dundalk in November when last in action. Others make more appeal on seasonal reappearance. Also declared 19:15 Galway Monday.

Form: 99060-7

11/1

Finished fourth on his two most recent starts including when beaten 8¾L over 1m2f at Fairyhouse (good-to-yielding) earlier this month. One to note dropping back in distance.

Form: 460-744

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: O J Orr| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 63

12/1

Fair ninth in a big field 7f handicap at Leopardstown (good) on seasonal reappearance earlier this month. Races off the same mark here and is probably best watched at present.

Form: 09080-9

The Lady's Bid^p⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Lee| T: P M Rogers| OR: 61| D

10/1

Successful twice from 14 starts including over an extended 1m1f at Gowran Park (yielding) on last months seasonal debut. Below that form the last twice however and others hold more obvious claims.

Form: 95-1680

(5)

Blankiedoodie^h,t⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Shane Foley| T: J C McConnell| OR: 58| D

20/1

Beaten 4½L when eighth in a handicap over an extended 1m1f at Ballinrobe (good) recently. Dropped 3lb following that effort and market support would be notable racing off a mark 2lb lower than for his most recent victory.

Form: 560-068

Celtic Force⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: C D Maxwell⁽³⁾| T: P J Gilligan| OR: 57

50/1

Maiden after four starts and showed little when tenth on handicap debut over an extended 1m1f at Ballinrobe (good) last time out. Probably best watched down in trip.

10/3

16 race maiden has finished runner-up on two of his last three starts including when beaten a head at Leopardstown (1m, good) last week. Bold show expected with a top jockey booked to ride.

40/1

Five race maiden showed promise when 7L fifth in a 1m1f handicap at Tipperary (good-to-yielding) last month. Likely more needed if he's to take this race.

Forecasts

Out On Friday (10/3), Darkened (7/1), Starlite Dancer (7/1), Emphatic (17/2), New Vocation (10/1), Acari (10/1), The Lady's Bid (10/1), Clifftop (10/1), Landing Zone (11/1), Dance Emperor (12/1), Blankiedoodie (20/1), Swiss Army Officer (20/1), Mk Drama (22/1), Bardo Contiguo (28/1), Rememberthetitans (40/1), Celtic Force (50/1)

Trainer Sheila Lavery can boast a 17% strike-rate (7/41) at this venue in recent years and her representative here LANDING ZONE can provide her with a victory dropping back in trip following a couple of promising efforts over further. The selection has a decent draw here and he can get the better of maiden Out On Friday who can claim second spot while last time out winner Starlite Dancer who carries top weight here can take third.
