20/1

9/4, below form seventh of 15 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy) 14 days ago. Fair on the Flat, bit below form on last Flat outing. Hard to make a solid case for.

Park Row³⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 10-2| J: Ross Coakley| T: D P Coakley| OR: 65| CD

12/1

4-time C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2019. Respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (50/1) 35 days. Has slipped in weights, so dangerous if he can build on that.

Form: 0V900-5

4/1

3-time C&D winner. Career best when winning 14-runner handicap at this C&D (6/1) 30 days ago, cosily. Needs another career-best effort to land the hat-trick, but she's in terrific form.

Form: 805-311

7/1

Respectable third of 13 in handicap at this course (10.7f, 11/2) 7 days ago. Booking of Lordan a plus. Sure to go well.

10/1

18/1

Course winner. Good fourth of 14 in handicap (33/1) at this C&D 30 days ago, having to pick way through. Should give another good account.

FALLEN FOREST benefited from the fitting of cheekpieces and the assistance of Siobhan Rutledge when off the mark over C&D 14 days ago and, while a big price that day, he's worth a chance to follow up. Kalanoura was a place behind the selection then, so warrants respect despite stall 16 and the hat-trick seeking Lady of Luxury is another obvious player.
