18/5

Thrice-raced winner. 50/1, won 14-runner maiden at Dundalk (7f) 12 days ago. Open to further improvement, so another bold show is likely now handicapping.

7/2

3/1, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Killarney (8.2f, heavy) 6 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Has had plenty of chances from this basement mark, so others make more appeal.

Forecasts

Take My Hand (5/2), Philly's Hope (7/2), Eshtiya (18/5), Sienna Lady (4/1), Sin E Shekells (17/2), Kristall Eye (10/1), Valquinto (12/1), Rockview Empress (18/1), Empire Street (18/1), Settle Me Down (25/1), Kartayaz (28/1), She's In The Game (28/1), Adams Barbour (66/1), Phantasus (125/1)

SIENNA LADY is going the right way and was only collared late when second at Dundalk 12 days ago, so she could open her account at the fifth time of asking, with a wide draw not necessarily a bad thing given the conditions. Recent maiden winner Eshtiya is an obvious danger and Kristall Eye remains with potential stepping up in trip.
