Run of good form ended when only ninth of 18 in handicap at Naas (6f) 25 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

11/2

C&D winner who arrives on back of good second of 16 in handicap here 6 days ago. Goes really well at this track but 4 lb rise demands more.

Form: 025042

Tresorier¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Gavin Ryan⁽³⁾| T: J Feane| OR: 76| D

7/2

Twenty three runs since last win in 2016, but caught eye when third of 14 in handicap (28/1) at Dundalk (6f) on his return, just failing having challenged wide. On good mark so interesting now.

Form: 0532-63

Mandolin Wind^p1⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁵⁾| T: L Breen| OR: 72

Forecasts

Sendmylovetoyou (3/1), Tresorier (7/2), Blairmayne (9/2), Miacomet (11/2), Master Matt (13/2), Hightimeyouwon (8/1), Spanish Tenor (10/1), Celtic Manor (12/1), Kodiqueen (14/1), Mandolin Wind (16/1), Galtee Mist (18/1), Arcanears (18/1), Beckwith Place (20/1), Blyton (33/1)

TRESORIER is on a lengthy losing run but was a real eye-catcher at Dundalk on his return so is worth siding with off a handy mark at the likely forecast odds. In-form C&D winner Sendmylovetoyou is sure to pose a big threat, while last year's victor Blairmayne and Beckwith Place also warrant respect in an open handicap.
