Off time: 14:20 | Winning time: 5m 2.72s

Clondaw Hollow^t¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Kieren Buckley⁽⁵⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 118

13/2

Dual winner this season and he ran to form after a 4 month break when second of 9 at Downpatrick (18.8f) 12 days ago, closing all way to line. Impossible to rule out with recent run now under his belt.

Form: 7/44-112

Grey Skies⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 130

3/1

Made it 2-2 for this stable when readily defying a penalty at Kelso (2m, heavy) last month. Likely he'll be hard to beat again.

Form: 7-63111

Thunder Rock²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Adrian Heskin| T: O Murphy| OR: 129| D

2/1

Landed a hat-trick at Huntingon in February but only briefly looked at threat when mid-field in the EBF Final at Sandown last month. This is less competitive and he can go well.

Form: 1-21119

Irish Blaze³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott

85/40

Point winner who looked a useful prospect when taking a 25-runner Navan novice on Rules debut. Likely has more to come and he should be suited by this step up in trip.

Form: P-11

Peaceful Sunday³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: D A Jacob| T: S R B Crawford| OR: 124

22/1

Got off the mark in a Fairyhouse novice (16.5f) 34 days ago but probably needs to find more in this company.

Form: 39241

Forecasts

Thunder Rock (2/1), Irish Blaze (85/40), Grey Skies (3/1), Clondaw Hollow (13/2), Grey Market (20/1), Peaceful Sunday (22/1)

GREY SKIES impressed with his strength at the finish when scoring at Kelso last time and further improvement is likely from Donald McCain's gelding back in trip. The strong-travelling Thunder Rock should find this an easier task than the EBF Final, whilst Irish Blaze created a fine impression on debut and isn't ruled out in a strong race of its type.
