6/1

Below form eighth of 22 in handicap hurdle (7/1) at Leopardstown (16f, soft) 148 days ago. Off 148 days. Might not have finished improving in this sphere, so worth a market check.

33/1

St Clerans^v¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Lee| T: W McCreery| OR: 71

22/1

Visored for 1st time, first run since leaving Mrs J. Harrington when sixth of 9 in handicap at Naas (8f, good, 12/1) 11 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Unlikely to stay.

Form: 55-5446

Dundory^t¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle⁽⁵⁾| T: A J Martin| OR: 68

16/1

9/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Ballinrobe (9.6f, good) 13 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Others are more persuasive.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Paddy Harnett⁽⁷⁾| T: Donnacha O'Brien| OR: 81| D

16/1

Lightly-raced winner. 10/1, fifteenth of 19 in minor event at the Curragh (12f, good to soft) 9 days ago. May yet get back on the up, so can't be completely dismissed.

Form: 60-010

National Ballet⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 75

11/8

Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 18 in maiden at Navan (10f, good to soft, 7/1) 50 days ago. Up in trip. Bred to be much better than this sort of mark, so big player up in trip for handicap bow.

Form: 05-5

(19)

Moon Daisy^p²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Killian Leonard| T: Donnacha O'Brien| OR: 72

8/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at this course (11.5f, good, 9/2) 22 days ago, nearest finish. Longer trip will suit, so worth considering.

Form: 655-864

(9)

Right Turn¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Chris Hayes| T: G M Lyons| OR: 71

11/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Good second of 11 in handicap (5/1) at Down Royal (10.3f, good) 15 days ago. Up in trip. Stable having good spell. Bold bid expected.

Forecasts

National Ballet (11/8), Advanced Virgo (6/1), Park Row (13/2), Moon Daisy (8/1), Wajaaha (10/1), Right Turn (11/1), Loingseoir (11/1), Greenpanda (11/1), Sequoiaspirit (11/1), Igraine (16/1), Dundory (16/1), Book Of Verse (16/1), Millford Sound (18/1), St Clerans (22/1), Shamad (33/1), Dame Rapide (50/1), Halite (50/1), Insane Bolt (66/1), Getback In Paris (125/1)

NATIONAL BALLET still looked green when fifth in a Navan maiden on return and the form looks solid, so he might prove up to defying an opening mark of 74 now his stamina is about to be tested more fully. The in-form Loingseoir is an obvious danger and Right Turn deserves a mention.
