Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle⁽⁵⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 80

6/1

Fairly useful 1m winner for Richard Hughes. Interesting to see if there's any strength behind him in the market on this return for a new trainer

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: M P Sheehy⁽⁵⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 79| D

12/1

Struggled in France for Eoghan O'Neill last year but was quite useful in 2019 and has handicapping scope if new yard can revive her. Keep close eye on in betting.

Forecasts

Forbearance (15/8), Hayyel (3/1), So I Told You (6/1), Tooreen Angel (8/1), Ivy Avenue (8/1), Princesse Mathilde (12/1), Camphor (14/1), Newgirlintown (14/1), Hamley (40/1)

HAYYEL didn't shape too badly in a big field on her Curragh reappearance a couple of weeks ago and might be worth siding with off what still looks a workable mark based on her Leopardstown win last summer. Forbearance should continue to head in the right direction and rates an obvious danger ahead of recent Cork winner Ivy Avenue.
