18/1

Latest win at the Curragh (10f) in July. However, not in same form either start since, last of 14 in handicap at Listowel (12f, good, 10/1) 27 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Stellium⁶⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Billy Lee| T: M C Grassick| OR: 88

18/1

Twice-raced winner. 5/1, won 9-runner maiden at Tramore (12f) in August, well on top finish. Has since switched yards and likely he can do better again now handicapping.

Form: 71

Team Of Firsts⁵⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 88| CD

9/4

Confirmed promise of exploits as a 2-y-o when landing a C&D maiden on return in March. Likely his sole start since at Naas in August was needed and expected to be sharper now. Handicap debut.

Form: 42-15

Silaiyli^b¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M Halford| OR: 87| D

Bonte Moi^p¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: C P Hoban| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 85

10/1

Off the mark in a Gowran maiden (9.5f) in September. Last of 11 in handicap (9/1) at Dundalk (12f) 19 days ago, eased off having suffered interference in the straight. Still, mark does demand more.

Form: 045710

Lightning Jock¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Sean Davis| T: P McCreery| OR: 81

28/1

20/1

Lightly-raced winner. 40/1, stepped up on return effort when sixth of 15 in handicap at Listowel (9f, good) 27 days ago. Remains low-mileage and she may yet have a little more to offer.

Form: 071-96

Sassified^p¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 76

Lifetime Legend⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Mikey Sheehy⁽⁵⁾| T: A Oliver| OR: 74

11/4

3/1, good third of 13 in maiden at Leopardstown (10f, good to soft) 4 days ago. Capable pilot takes off valuable 5 lb back in a handicap and he's one to consider.

Form: 357433

Forecasts

Team Of Firsts (9/4), Lifetime Legend (11/4), Sea Appeal (7/2), Zozimus (7/1), Bonte Moi (10/1), Prairie Dancer (10/1), Silaiyli (11/1), Sassified (12/1), Hell Bent (18/1), Stellium (18/1), Pita Pinta (20/1), Lightning Jock (28/1)

LIFETIME LEGEND arrives on the back of a couple of solid efforts and, with the form of his penultimate third at Killarney having been boosted subsequently, he could be worth siding with to get off the mark with his rider taking off a valuable 5 lb. Sea Appeal (engaged to run at Gowran Tuesday) would need strong consideration if lining up, whilst Cambridgeshire fourth Zozimus is also respected.
