Paris Duvet^p1,t²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Mike O'Connor⁽¹⁰⁾| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 63

18/1

Sole success to date came on AW at Dundalk (1m) back in December. Creditable midfield efforts initially this year and likely best forgiven his hurdles debut effort latest (seemingly failed to stay).

Form: 451-665

Qaabil³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: A J Farragher⁽⁷⁾| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 63

12/1

9/1, bit below form ninth of 16 in handicap at Leopardstown (7f, good to firm) 34 days ago. Chance if rediscovering old form.

Form: 308609

Quick Quick^p1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Colin Keane| T: N Meade| OR: 62

16/1

Eighth of 12 in handicap (22/1) at Killarney (8.1f, soft) 21 days ago. Essentially proved a disappointment so far this year and cheekpieces need to have a positive effect now.

Form: 374-608

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Nathan Crosse⁽⁵⁾| T: W McCreery| OR: 57| D

25/1

Twelfth of 14 in handicap at Gowran (8f, soft, 40/1) 63 days ago. Gone the wrong way from his reappearance effort

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁵⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 59

6/1

9/2, good third of 16 in handicap at Leopardstown (7f, good) 27 days ago. Looks competitive on form.

Tooclosetocall^h²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Alan Persse⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Flynn| OR: 55

80/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Twelfth of 15 in maiden at Leopardstown (8f, good, 300/1) 27 days ago. Entitled to hold more chance now handicapping and the market may prove a useful guide ahead of this.

Form: 000

(15)

Drombeg Duke¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle⁽⁷⁾| T: A Leahy| OR: 50| D

10/3

Bit below form twelfth of 19 in handicap (15/2) at Naas (6f, soft) 17 days ago. Had previously shaped up okay in a C&D event but sole success to date came on AW.

Form: 4160-60

(19)

Fascinating Spirit²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: James J Doyle| T: E McCarthy| OR: 45

11/1

Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. Eleventh of 13 in handicap (7/1) at Dundalk (8f) 25 days ago, dropping away under 2f out. Not the easiest to predict.

Form: 803020

(16)

Havana Breeze^t⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Chris Hayes| T: Miss H McLoughlin| OR: 45

16/1

Respectable seventh of 16 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good to soft, 22/1) 48 days ago. Booking of Hayes a plus.

Form: 00-7667

(18)

Divine Celt²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Shane Foley| T: J J Murphy| OR: 48| BF

7/1

15/8, below form fifth of 12 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, soft) 21 days ago, never nearer. Not taken lightly.

Form: 343825

Rudi's Princess^t¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: C P Hoban| T: S Nolan| OR: 46

66/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, ninth of 13 in handicap (66/1) at Bellewstown (7.8f, heavy) 13 days ago. Plenty to find on form.

Forecasts

Scherzando (5/2), Drombeg Duke (10/3), Agent Zero (9/2), Sweet Justice (6/1), Divine Celt (7/1), Miss Adventurous (7/1), Global Pass (10/1), Fascinating Spirit (11/1), Sebs Star (12/1), Qaabil (12/1), Havana Breeze (16/1), Quick Quick (16/1), Paris Duvet (18/1), Raffaello (25/1), Sagittarius Rising (25/1), Rudi's Princess (66/1), Tooclosetocall (80/1), Tamayuz's Gold (100/1), Pirate's Treasure (150/1)

AGENT ZERO has dropped a long way in the weights and backed up his close-up C&D fifth when runner-up at Roscommon 9 days ago, noted keeping on. He earns the vote to shed the maiden tag, with Sweet Justice and Divine Celt others fancied to play a part.
