Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: J M Sheridan| T: D Hogan| OR: 64

10/1

14/1, creditable third of 16 in handicap at Limerick (11.3f, good) 13 days ago, staying on. Remains fairly low-mileage and this longer trip may unlock a little more progress.

Form: 8/6950-3

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Billy Lee| T: T M Walsh| OR: 62

11/1

Creditable fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Punchestown (15.8f, good to soft) 44 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Fair on the Flat, creditable on last Flat outing.

Dubai Clover¹⁶⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Robert Whearty⁽⁷⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 60

18/1

Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. Sixth of 13 in maiden at Dundalk (12f, 16/1) in January, never better than midfield. Switch to handicaps rates a plus on return but yard look to hold stronger claims with Dinamine.

Form: 99-6

Showman¹⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Ben Coen| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 59

18/1

Maiden who ended time with Hughie Morrison in good form last year. Some promise on second hurdles start for new yard at Punchestown (2m) in January but proved disappointing back on the level at Dundalk a month later. Absent since and market likely best guide here.

Form: 34243-0

Oranmore²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Chris Hayes| T: L Comer| OR: 56

8/1

33/1, good third of 14 in handicap at Leopardstown (15f, good) 21 days ago, nearest finish. Remains a maiden but a repeat gives him each-way claims again.

Form: 457503

Dinamine¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Mr C McConnell⁽⁷⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 54

11/2

16/1, first run since leaving David Peter Dunne when good second of 16 in handicap at Limerick (11.3f, good) 13 days ago, finding only a similarly well-treated sort too strong. Worth a second look on the back of that here.

Form: 29506-2

Jazzy Rock³³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: James Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: Francis Casey| OR: 54

28/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 16 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, good). Off 11 months. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut and the betting may prove a useful guide.

Form: 809-

Portarlington^t³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Jamie Powell⁽⁵⁾| T: D Budds| OR: 54

25/1

8/1, running respectably when fell in handicap hurdle at Wexford (17.4f, good to soft) 36 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Modest on the Flat, poor on last Flat outing.

Bolero^t,v⁵⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Siobhan Rutledge⁽⁵⁾| T: H Rogers| OR: 52

11/2

Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. Visored for 1st time, good third of 19 in handicap (11/4) at Navan (13f, soft) 54 days ago, progress from 2f out and staying on. Each-way possibilities again.

Form: 924-423

Theresathought^b²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: J Cleary⁽⁷⁾| T: Michael G Cleary| OR: 49

40/1

100/1, good fourth of 10 in claimer at Limerick (11.5f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Back up in trip returned to handicaps but he needs to prove he can build on that here.

Form: 000-884

Sceptred Isle^h²³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Robbie Colgan| T: John J Maguire| OR: 48

17/2

Ballybaun Star⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Gavin Ryan| T: T Gibney| OR: 47

5/1

Hurdles winner who ran respectably on back of 8 months off/returned to Flat when fourth in big-field Navan handicap (13f) in May but refused to race at Gowran (13.7f) subsequently. Clearly comes with risks attached now.

Form: 8700/4R

Edge Of My Seat^h²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Declan McDonogh| T: A A Howard| OR: 47

10/1

Hooded for 1st time, bit below form sixth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (16.2f, good to soft, 5/1) 24 days ago. Up in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 900/44-9

(5)

Must B Art^p1,t³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Ronan Whelan| T: P Martin| OR: 47

16/1

Eleventh of 17 in handicap at Tipperary (12.5f, good, 12/1) 37 days ago, hampered approaching straight and never a threat. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

Form: 0/80-900

Allesnick^t⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Leigh Roche| T: E & P Harty| OR: 57

50/1

Fifteenth of 16 in handicap (40/1) at Roscommon (12f, good to soft) 45 days ago, weakening from home turn. Needs to leave that in his wake if he's to figure here.

DINAMINE shaped well and was beaten only by a fellow well-treated sort when third on return/yard debut at Limerick 2 weeks ago. Nicely on top of the remainder then, he can confirm the promise of that effort and come out on top back up in trip. Bolero and Riyami are others to consider, while the returning Showman also demands a second look.
