66/1

Offered little on first outing since leaving J. J. Feane after 8 months off when last of 10 in handicap (33/1) at this course (10f, good) 27 days ago. Has a bit to prove now.

8/1

C&D winner. 17/2, stepped up markedly on reappearance when second of 19 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good) just under 3 weeks ago. Merits consideration.

11/2

7/2, stepped up on reappearance to win 16-runner handicap at this course (8f, good) 27 days ago, staying on to lead final 100 yds. Of interest again despite an 8 lb rise.

25/1

Winner at Dundalk in February. 9/2, failed to improve after 12 weeks off when tenth of 12 in handicap at Cork (8f, good) 34 days ago. Remains capable of better.

Sweetest¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 76

10/1

Wasn't disgraced making handicap debut when sixth of 10 at Tipperary (5f, heavy) 16 days ago, not ideally placed. Looks to be on a lenient opening mark on balance and is now significantly upped in trip.

Form: 21-0576

5/1

Concluding Call (7/2), Neo Smart (5/1), Toriangel (11/2), Everylittlestep (8/1), Arch Enemy (17/2), Sweetest (10/1), Sumptuary Law (11/1), Alabama Calling (11/1), Cleopatra's Needle (12/1), Calamint (12/1), Feature This (16/1), God Knows (16/1), Andalusian Star (25/1), Letiza (66/1), Sub Rosa (80/1)

Loads in with chances but the vote goes to top-weight CONCLUDING CALL, who got off the mark at Navan just over 5 weeks ago and now heads into handicaps with some untapped potential. Toriangel scored at this track last month, so she looks sure to go well again despite an 8 lb rise, with Cleopatra's Needle, Sumptuary Law and Everylittlestep a handful of others worth considering, too.
