Almendares^v¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: A J Slattery| T: A Slattery| OR: 81| CD

3/1

Lightly-raced gelding. 5/2, career best when winning 14-runner maiden at this C&D 13 days ago, driven out. Steadily going the right way but work to do with Vanguard Star on these terms from their meeting here last month.

Form: 35-21

Vanguard Star^t²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Crosse| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 86| CD

6/4

Lightly-raced winner. Tongue strap on for 1st time, career best when winning 14-runner maiden at this C&D (5/2) 27 days ago by 3½ lengths from Almendares, driven out. Looks a big player once more.

Form: 5433-1

Catherine Of Siena³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: J A Heffernan| T: Kevin Coleman| OR: 86| CD

9/4

Fairly useful filly. C&D winner. Latest win here in December. 6/1, good third of 8 in handicap at this C&D 34 days ago. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 33211-3

Dynamite Katie⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Wayne Lordan| T: N Lupini| OR: 79| C

6/1

Kessaar filly who left debut effort in her wake when landing a 7f maiden here in December. Further progress when runner-up in a C&D minor event the following month and she may yet have more to offer.

Form: 71-2

(4)

Lashes^t¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: J A Powell⁽⁵⁾| T: M Kelly| OR: 54

150/1

Modest filly. 33/1, first run since leaving Shane Kieran Ryder when creditable eighth of 14 in handicap at this course (7f) 13 days ago. Hard to fancy on these terms.

Form: 50096-8

(2)

So Majestic¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Chris Hayes| T: Miss K McGivern

33/1

Once-raced maiden. 4/1, showed ability when 8¾ lengths fifth of 14 to Almendares in maiden at this C&D on debut 13 days ago, fading final 1f. Feasible to think she will be sharper with that under her belt but best watched in any case.

Form: 5

Forecasts

Vanguard Star (6/4), Catherine Of Siena (9/4), Almendares (3/1), Dynamite Katie (6/1), So Majestic (33/1), Lashes (150/1)

CATHERINE OF SIENA ran right up to her best on the back of a 2-month break when third in a C&D handicap 5 weeks ago and a repeat should see her firmly in the mix once more. Vanguard Star improved on his exploits as a 2-y-o when opening his account himself here latest and he rates the lead threat.
