Boskill Carmel¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Ronan Whelan| T: J P Fahey

50/1

Once-raced filly. Seventh of 12 in maiden (25/1) at this C&D (heavy) on debut 16 days ago, never better than midfield. Passed over here.

Form: 7

Gangster Granny²⁰⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington

20/1

Holy Roman Emperor filly who improved on debut form when sixth of 12 in maiden at Dundalk (7f, 28/1) in October. In good hands and likely to do better again but she's probably one for handicaps.

Form: 76-

Miss Tapley¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| BF

5/2

Promising type. 8/15, third of 8 in maiden at this course (7f, heavy) 16 days ago, outpaced 2f out and keeping on. Step up to 1m promises to be in her favour on that evidence and she's one to be interested in.

Form: 2-3

(7)

Punta Coco²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Wayne Lordan| T: N Lupini

18/1

Thrice-raced filly. Last of 10 in maiden (18/1) at Dundalk (7f) 26 days ago, weakening before final 1f and eased off. Not one to write off given she had shaped with promise on her previous run in January.

Form: 9-30

Forecasts

Ata Rangi (6/5), Miss Tapley (5/2), Vestigia (4/1), Aratayvo (5/1), Sobriety Blue (7/1), Punta Coco (18/1), Gangster Granny (20/1), Narragansett (28/1), Judge Me Not (50/1), Mark's One (50/1), Boskill Carmel (50/1), You Played Well (80/1), Gallopy Gallopy (125/1)

MISS TAPLEY found the test inadequate when third on her return over 7f here 16 days ago and with this step up to 1m very much in her favour on that evidence, she looks to hold sound claims with the prospect of more to come. Aratayvo and Ata Rangi are others to consider.
