11/4

Showed improved form back sprinting when winning 11-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 10 days ago, keeping on well. Hit with 9 lb rise but the runner-up has franked the form.

Form: 7-99451

17/2

C&D winner who is yet to fire this season, including down in grade in first-time cheekpieces at the Curragh last time. Others appeal more.

Form: 401-960

Bells On Her Toes³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Andrew Slattery| T: A Slattery| OR: 72

7/2

Attracted support and turned in best effort of the season when second of 9 in 7.2f handicap at Roscommon (good) 37 days ago. Good chance with a repeat.

Form: 8-65002

Little Queenie¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Robert Whearty⁽⁷⁾| T: P W Flynn| OR: 69| D

9/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 10/3, fourth of 7 in minor event at Limerick (6.7f, good) 15 days ago. Drop back in trip looks a good move and has a good chance on the pick of her form.

15/8

Produced a career best on first run since leaving Peter McCreery when winning 22-runner handicap at Cork (7f, soft, 10/1) last month, leading 2f out and soon clear. Drop to 6f shouldn't be an issue given the way she travelled that day, so remains of interest despite a 12 lb hike in the weights.

Forecasts

Talia (15/8), Sioux Spirit (11/4), Coumshingaun (3/1), Bells On Her Toes (7/2), Little Queenie (9/2), Wave Machine (17/2), Karaoke (12/1), Arthur's Victory (20/1)

LITTLE QUEENIE has fallen to an attractive mark on the pick of her form and a return to 6f could just be the answer having again found the trip too far at Limerick (6.7f) 15 days ago. Talia impressed with the way she went through the race at Cork so shouldn't be inconvenienced by this drop in trip either, with recent C&D winner Sioux Spirit also feared.
