Lightly-raced winner. 7/1, very good fourth of 16 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f, good to firm) on reappearance 12 days ago, not ideally placed. Trainer going well. One to keep on right side.

6/1

Screen Siren¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle⁽⁵⁾| T: S Lynam| OR: 78

9/1

1 win from 3 runs this year. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Cork (5f, good to soft, 17/2) 14 days ago. Ought to remain competitive after an 8 lb rise.

Form: 837-031

(6)

Ferrybank²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Chris Hayes| T: T M Walsh| OR: 76| D

8/1

Form: 32-1634

(8)

No More Porter²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Siobhan Rutledge⁽⁷⁾| T: J Feane| OR: 75| D

9/2

17/2, career best when winning 30-runner handicap at the Curragh (6.3f, soft) 21 days ago, keeping on well. Merits consideration despite a 15 lb hike in the weights.

Form: 09-081

Forecasts

Angel Palm (3/1), No More Porter (9/2), White Lavender (6/1), Mickey The Steel (13/2), Wood Ranger (15/2), Giorgio Vasari (15/2), Ferrybank (8/1), Screen Siren (9/1)

ANGEL PALM gets the nod to build on a promising reappearance run at Fairyhouse and strike under Colin Keane. White Lavender should have more to offer now stepping back up to 6f and give the selection most to think about ahead of last-time-out Curragh scorer No More Porter.
