Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: S T McCullagh⁽³⁾| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 90

10/3

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, went backwards from reappearance when ninth of 10 in handicap at the Curragh (14f, good, 9/1) 5 weeks ago. Bounce back required.

Form: 901-439

Dalton Highway²⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 9-12| J: L F Roche| T: D K Weld| OR: 86

33/1

66/1, failed to come on for recent run when last of 13 in handicap at Cork (12f, soft) 26 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 110/900

(5)

Last Ammo²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: R O'Brien| OR: 78

6/1

16/1, below form when tenth of 13 in handicap at Cork (12f, soft) 26 days ago, slowly away. More needed, but that's possible.

En Or^t¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Ben Coen| T: A J Martin| OR: 76

11/10

9/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, continued his fine start for current connections with another solid effort when second of 8 in handicap at Limerick (12.3f, good) 18 days ago. In the shake-up.

Form: 0400-42

(4)

Born By The Sea⁸⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-1| J: Colin Keane| T: P J Gilligan| OR: 62

18/1

50/1, seemed to excel himself as he did easily best of the octet out of the weights when sixth of 39 in Grand National at Aintree (34.3f, good) 3 months ago. Back on the level and this probably just a pipe opener.

Form: 26350/5-

Takarengo^p²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Jack Kearney⁽⁷⁾| T: T Mullins| OR: 75

4/1

Ran creditably to be placed for the third time in 4 starts over fences when third of 14 at Wexford (19.8f, good to soft, 17/2) 22 days ago. Fairly useful on the Flat, bit below form on last run.

Form: 74004-5

Forecasts

En Or (11/10), Hell Bent (10/3), Takarengo (4/1), White Caviar (9/2), Last Ammo (6/1), Born By The Sea (18/1), Dalton Highway (33/1)

Cases can be made for a few of these but EN OR continued his fine start for current connections with another solid effort when runner-up at Limerick last month. Tony Martin's charge can go one better at the expense of White Caviar, who clearly wasn't 100% at the Curragh 5 weeks ago but is fancied to build on her encouraging reappearance at Gowran at the second attempt. Takarengo rounds off the shortlist.
