33/1

20/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Gowran (8f, heavy) 8 days ago. Back up in trip and she's opposable in current form.

Form: 91-0705

A Shin Undine²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Shane Foley| T: G Ahern| OR: 71

(11)

Speckled Meadow⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Adam Caffrey⁽⁵⁾| T: Don Browne| OR: 69| C

10/1

11/2, career best when winning 20-runner handicap at this course (8f, heavy) 40 days ago, keeping on well. Back up in trip and couldn't rule out another bold show from this 7-y-o.

Form: 97840-1

(6)

Encosta¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Colin Keane| T: N Meade| OR: 68

6/1

Below form twelfth of 20 in handicap (33/1) at the Curragh (7f, soft) 11 days ago. Significantly up in trip and she's probably worth taking on.

Form: 3308-00

(3)

Enthralling⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Gavin Ryan| T: Donnacha O'Brien| OR: 79

2/1

Good third of 10 in handicap (10/1) at this C&D (heavy) 40 days ago. Stable in good form and she's a big player off the same mark.

Form: 03937-3

(10)

Mo Ghille Mar^p⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Keithen Kennedy⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 78

5/1

Below form sixth of 10 in handicap (10/1) at this C&D (heavy) 40 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and she has to enter calculations.

Form: 7202-36

(8)

Lavender Haze⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Rory Cleary| T: J S Bolger| OR: 77

14/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 6/1, fourth of 10 in maiden at Cork (7f, heavy) 48 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. This stiffer test will be very much in her favour now handicapping and she's one for the shortlist.

Form: 8-44

(1)

Cleopatra's Needle^b¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: Chris Hayes| T: H Rogers| OR: 59| D

10/1

Blinkered for 1st time, won 17-runner handicap at Navan (10f, good to soft, 12/1) 10 days ago, well positioned. She clealry did the job very well that day but a 12 lb demands something extra.

Form: 38900-1

Forecasts

Enthralling (2/1), Nostringsattached (7/2), You Owe Me Money (5/1), Mo Ghille Mar (5/1), Encosta (6/1), Cleopatra's Needle (10/1), Speckled Meadow (10/1), A Shin Undine (12/1), Lavender Haze (14/1), Solar Breeze (16/1), Queenie St Clair (33/1), Letiza (33/1)

Having stepped up on his low-key reappearance when third at Gowran last time, A SHIN UNDINE could be the answer. Enthralling is feared most ahead of Speckled Meadow and You Owe Me Money.
