Concluding Call³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: W J Lee| T: W McCreery| OR: 78

7/2

11/4, showed much improved form when winning 7-runner maiden at Navan (8f, good to soft) just over 5 weeks ago. Heads into handicaps with some untapped potential so holds leading claims.

Form: 43-41

Letiza²⁷

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.

Form: 83170-0

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.

Toriangel²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Siobhan Rutledge⁽³⁾| T: S Lavery| OR: 70| C

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.

Form: 0705-41

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Robbie Colgan| T: P Magee| OR: 69

17/2

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

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Rory Cleary| T: J S Bolger| OR: 75

5/1

7/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, shaped better than result when ninth of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good) 19 days ago, keeping on when not clear run final 100 yds. Up in trip.

Form: 71-9369

Forecasts

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.
