Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: C J MacRedmond⁽⁵⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 91| D

8/1

Fourteen wins from 45 Flat runs. Latest win at Dundalk in February. Fifth of 6 in handicap (10/1) at Chester (5.1f, heavy) 36 days ago, possibly amiss. Hard to fancy on the back of that.

Form: 44-1355

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: S T McCullagh⁽³⁾| T: M Halford & T Collins| OR: 88| D

10/3

Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 9/1, good second of 8 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 7 days ago, clear of rest. Big player.

Ice Cold In Alex^t²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: J A Powell⁽⁵⁾| T: K J Condon| OR: 84| D

16/5

Creditable 2½ lengths second of 17 to Verhoyen in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good to soft, 25/1) 21 days ago. Might well go one better in this less-competitive affair.

Form: 7551-02

Daamberdiplomat²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Shane Kelly| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 89| D

16/5

Very good fifth of 15 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good, 25/1) 20 days ago. Yard in good form. Merits respect.

Form: 16790-5

Ampeson^p⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: K J Leonard| T: P J McKenna| OR: 78| CD

12/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Dundalk in December. Seventh of 8 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 16/1) 7 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 16-5607

(2)

Tai Sing Yeh^b,t¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 8-10| J: M P Sheehy| T: J McAuley| OR: 73| D

12/1

Latest win at Dundalk in March. Creditable third of 12 in claimer at Tipperary (7.5f, good, 9/1) 17 days ago. Must improve but should give his running.

Form: 166603

Forecasts

Ice Cold In Alex (16/5), Daamberdiplomat (16/5), Master Matt (10/3), Verhoyen (9/2), Harry's Bar (8/1), Tai Sing Yeh (12/1), Ampeson (12/1)

ICE COLD IN ALEX produced a big effort when second to Verhoyen and he's worth a chance to reverse form with that rival in this lesser contest. Master Matt is also worthy of interest.
