Karlsberg⁶⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: J A Heffernan| T: S Crawley| OR: 71| CD

13/2

C&D winner. Respectable seventh of 24 in handicap (6/1) at the Curragh (6f, soft) 65 days ago, keeping on again final 1f. Step back up in trip a plus here and fancied to give another good account in bid to follow up last year's victory.

6/1

6/1, fifth of 10 in handicap at Leopardstown (7.2f, good) 20 days ago, finishing well. Certainly looks capable of going close if cutting out the tardy starts.

Form: 110-035

Chestnutter¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Chris Hayes| T: N Meade| OR: 66| D

17/2

Speckled Meadow²⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Adam Caffrey⁽⁵⁾| T: Don Browne| OR: 66| D

25/1

Career best when winning 16-runner handicap at Galway (7f, heavy, 3/1), suited by emphasis on stamina. Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving Terence O'Brien and worth noting where she figures in the betting.

Form: 9/26131-

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: James Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: A Leahy| OR: 64

15/2

Form: 57-3022

Maid To Shine¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Jack Kearney⁽⁷⁾| T: G Hassett| OR: 63| D

22/1

Roman Palace²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Declan McDonogh| T: L Comer| OR: 63

22/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, produced best effort to date when fourth of 14 in maiden at Fairyhouse (7f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Makes handicap debut now and interesting what the market makes of her.

Form: 704

12/1

Creditable sixth of 16 in handicap at Gowran (7f, good to soft, 15/8) 43 days ago, badly hampered/stumbling over 1f out. Not one to write off.

Form: 9503-26

Soi Dao^b¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Shane Kelly| T: M Fenton| OR: 60

33/1

Lady Arwen¹¹

Weight: 10-0| Age: 4

T: C O'Dwyer J: Jake Coen

Forecasts

Lady Arwen (4/1), Dazzling Spirit (6/1), Cnodian (6/1), Sibyl Charm (6/1), Karlsberg (13/2), Fools Glory (13/2), Linger For Longer (15/2), Chestnutter (17/2), Mere Accountant (9/1), Finsceal Go Deo (12/1), Maid To Shine (22/1), Roman Palace (22/1), Speckled Meadow (25/1), Soi Dao (33/1)

Any number of chances in a competitive fillies' handicap and with that in mind a chance is taken on DAZZLING SPIRIT. She needs to cut out the tardy starts but is certainly capable of going close from this sort of mark on the evidence of her last 2 starts and a good pace to aim at here will aid her cause. Linger For Longer, Lady Arwen and Cnodian head the dangers, ahead of last year's winner Karlsberg.
