9/1

10/1, creditable fourth of 14 in handicap at Punchestown (9f, good) 16 days ago. Likely to give his running once more, but he's vulnerable to less-exposed types.

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 15 in handicap (18/1) at Listowel (7f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Too soon to completely write off.

6/1

Improved second of 16 in handicap (33/1) at Gowran (8f, good to soft) 12 days ago, just failing. Less exposed than most and likely to give another good account.

33/1

Creditable 7 lengths fifth of 12 to Jazz Dreamers in handicap at Tipperary (9f, good, 10/1) 35 days ago. Given a chance by the handicapper, so could make her presence felt.

Form: 480405

33/1

Below form eighth of 15 in handicap at Listowel (7f, good to soft, 28/1) 9 days ago, never nearer. Blinkers on 1st time. Below last winning mark, so can't be completely ruled out.

Form: 708908

11/2

3/1, bit below form 7½ lengths tenth of 16 to Nana Patsy in handicap at Cork (7f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Type to bounce back quickly, so can't be discounted.

40/1

Forecasts

Nana Patsy (16/5), Designer Cailin (11/2), Jazz Dreamers (11/2), Dunum (6/1), Destacado (8/1), Barretstown (9/1), Dixon Line (12/1), Moon Orchid (14/1), Fly Girl (16/1), Breagagh (20/1), Hot Bell (33/1), Catherine Chroi (33/1), Lust For Life (33/1), Molly Grue (40/1), Voler Mon Coeur (40/1), Tribute To Jade (40/1), What Adaay (66/1), Outran (150/1)

NANA PATSY was well on top at the finish when opening her account at Cork earlier in the month and this step up in trip is likely to work in her favour, so she's taken to follow up despite being hit hard by the handicapper. Dunum is also relatively unexposed and ranks as the main threat ahead of the likeable Jazz Dreamers.
