Fictitious Lady^v²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Nathan Crosse| T: W McCreery| OR: 76

5/1

Fairly useful filly. Remains a maiden after 12 Flat runs. Fifth of 8 in handicap (4/1) at Gowran (8f, good) 22 days ago. No surprise to see her give another good account back on all-weather.

Form: 2-32725

Baldomero³³

9/4

Lightly-raced colt. 10/3, bit below form fifth of 14 in maiden at Killarney (8.1f, good) 33 days ago. Return to 7f rates a plus and he's one to consider.

Form: 9-2525

33/1

Prince of Lir gelding. Half-brother to winner abroad by Red Jazz. Dam, maiden (stayed 10.7f), half-sister to smart/unreliable winner up to 6f Croisultan. Market should guide on debut.

3/1

Fairly useful gelding. Good second of 17 in maiden at Fairyhouse (7f, good, 4/1) 39 days ago. Stable in good form and he's one of the likelier types with a repeat here.

Form: 37-4202

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Luke McAteer| T: J Magnier

12/1

Once-raced gelding. 25/1, second of 14 in maiden at Cork (6f, good to firm) on debut 23 days ago. That was an encouraging first effort and he's open to improvement.

25/1

Twice-raced filly. Fourth of 9 in maiden at Leopardstown (9f, good, 14/1) 31 days ago. Back down in trip. Feasible to think she can do better again.

80/1

Once-raced filly. 66/1, seventh of 12 in maiden at this course (8f) on debut 34 days ago. Is something of a mixed bag on pedigree but that wasn't an effort devoid of promise. Entitled to improve.

Forecasts

Baldomero (9/4), Offiah (3/1), Fictitious Lady (5/1), Shahaada (11/2), Je T'ai Porte (8/1), Plezantlysurprised (12/1), Ginsburg (14/1), Khlass (25/1), Approbare (25/1), Nova Orchid (25/1), Colleen's Prince (33/1), That's Just Dandy (50/1), Stonegarth (50/1), Bright Glory (66/1), Norse Power (80/1), Rockview Conquer (80/1), Jazz Session (250/1)

OFFIAH ran right up to his best allowed his own way in front when runner-up in a Fairyhouse maiden (7f) 39 days ago and a repeat from a handy draw in stall 4 should see him firmly in the mix again. Baldomero, Shahaada and Fictitious Lady head up the dangers.
