Alonzo²³

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 80

9/4

9/4

Thrice-raced winner. 11/2, won 9-runner maiden at Navan (10.1f, good) 20 days ago, digging deep. Major player now handicapping off what looks a fair opening mark.

Form: 4-21

(3)

Natural Ruler²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 75

11/4

Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Leopardstown (12f, good to firm, 7/1) 26 days ago, nearest finish. Yard in good form and he should make his presence felt.

(7)

Cornahilt Soldier^t⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: W Joyce⁽⁵⁾| T: K Smith| OR: 74

20/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Down Royal (7f, good, 11/2) 7 days ago, easily. Up 12 lb and stepping into the unknown trip-wise but has to be respected all the same.

Form: 590-001

(6)

Benvoy²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: W J Lee| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 71

11/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 8 in handicap (40/1) at Leopardstown (12f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 48-97

(4)

10/1

18/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (10f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Minor place money is the most likely outcome.

Lady Doris (9/4), Alonzo (9/4), Natural Ruler (11/4), Presence (8/1), Ringside Timing (10/1), Benvoy (11/1), Cornahilt Soldier (20/1)

LADY DORIS has improved with each of her three starts in maidens, winning one on her turf debut at Navan last month, and she should have more to offer now upped to this trip for her handicap bow. She gets the nod ahead of Natural Ruler, who has been knocking on the door of late. Cornahilt Soldier was a stylish winner over 7f at Down Royal last week and it'll be interesting to see how she fares upped in trip here.
