Off time: 18:45 | Winning time: 4m 19.7s

Remarkable Gent

Age: 5| Weight: 12-2| J: Miss S Larkin⁽⁷⁾| T: H Rogers

28/1

Most Improved gelding. Half-brother to 1m winner Bert Leaf. Dam 5f/6f winner. Doesn't appeal as a probable first-time-out winner.

Form:

Sonny John³³

Age: 5| Weight: 12-2| J: Miss P Elvin⁽⁷⁾| T: E Sheehy

5/1

Twice-raced maiden under Rules. Second of 12 on bumper debut at Limerick (16f, soft, 80/1) 33 days ago. Good chance of going one better here if able to build on that.

Form: P-02

Alio Forte

Age: 4| Weight: 11-11| J: Miss M Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: H Rogers

33/1

Mayson gelding. Half-brother to sprint winner Foxy Boy. Dam 8.5f-10.5f winner. Like stablemate Remarkable Gent, he'll probably come on for the run.

Form:

Arena Star

Age: 4| Weight: 11-11| J: Miss S Ahern⁽⁷⁾| T: R J McGrath

13/2

Frozen Power gelding. Half-brother to 5 winners, including bumper winner Arena Seven. Another newcomer who will probably come on for the run.

Form:

Boston Brahmin²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-11| J: Miss M O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: N Lee

22/1

Twice-raced maiden. 50/1, eighth of 17 in bumper at Galway (16.5f, soft) 27 days ago. Minor place money may be the best he can hope for.

Form: 68

Bull Halsey¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-11| J: Alice Stevens⁽⁷⁾| T: G Elliott

17/2

Fifth of 10 in novice hurdle (12/1) at Ballinrobe (22.3f, good) on debut 15 days ago. Improvement needed now switched to a bumper. Yard saddles a stronger candidate in Not What It Seems.

Form: 5

Not Too Bad Jr⁶⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-11| J: Miss A B O'Connor⁽⁵⁾| T: P Roche

25/1

25/1, twelfth of 16 in bumper at Limerick (16.4f, good) on debut 64 days ago. Readily passsed over.

Form: 0

Not What It Seems¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-11| J: Ms L O'Neill| T: G Elliott

4/1

Twice-raced maiden. Second of 12 in bumper at Tramore (16f, good to soft, 3/1) 11 days ago. Major player.

Form: 42

Erins Benefit⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Ms H Mooney⁽⁷⁾| T: J E Kiely

13/8

Twice-raced maiden. 5/2, second of 10 in bumper at Tramore (16f, good) 9 days ago. Should give another good account.

Form: 32

Itsbeenawhile

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Miss N Fahey⁽⁷⁾| T: M Fahey

12/1

Arakan mare. Dam, 2½m hurdle winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdlers Field Commander (stayed 2½m) and Point The Toes (stayed 3m). Yard also saddles Reverse Polarity.

Form:

Non-Runners

Reverse Polarity¹¹

Weight: 11-9| Age: 5

T: M Fahey J: Jodie Townend

Forecasts

Erins Benefit (13/8), Not What It Seems (4/1), Sonny John (5/1), Reverse Polarity (5/1), Arena Star (13/2), Bull Halsey (17/2), Itsbeenawhile (12/1), Boston Brahmin (22/1), Not Too Bad Jr (25/1), Remarkable Gent (28/1), Alio Forte (33/1)

SONNY JOHN performed well above market expectations when second to Dysart Diamond (winner again since) on debut in this sphere at Limerick, with the re-opposing Erins Benefit 2¼ lengths adrift in third. He is taken to go one better here at the chief expense of Not What It Seems, who also chased home a Willie Mullins-trained rival at Tramore recently (Reverse Polarity back in fourth).
