Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1 and blinkered for 1st time, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Ballinrobe (13f, good) 10 days ago, slowly away. Can't be dismissed.
|
Tenth of 11 in handicap (40/1) at Gowran (14f, good) 17 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others preferred.
|
Thirteenth of 14 in handicap (11/2) at Navan (13f, good) 47 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others more persuasive.
|
Good second of 11 in handicap hurdle (9/4) at Tramore (16f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Back up in trip. Potentially well treated returning to the Flat and deserves some consideration.
|
5/1, ninth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (16f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Modest on the Flat, poor on last Flat outing.
|
Good third of 16 in handicap at Limerick (17f, good to firm, 9/2) 22 days ago, nearest finish. Excellent claims in a race where most have questions to answer.
|
Below form sixth of 15 in handicap at Fairyhouse (12f, good, 10/1) 20 days ago. Back up in trip. Blinkers back on. Enters calculations.
|
Remains a maiden after 22 Flat runs. 11/1, bit below form fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (23.3f, good to soft). Off 14 months. Modest on the Flat, below form on last Flat outing.
|
Lightly-raced maiden. Seventeenth of 22 in handicap (66/1) at Leopardstown (9f, good to soft) 21 days ago, slowly away. Significantly back up in trip.
|
14/1, sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (24.2f, good) 48 days ago. Blinkers back on. Claims if he can build on that back on the Flat.
|
Tenth of 13 in handicap at Down Royal (12.8f, good, 33/1) 12 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time.
|
66/1, eighth of 15 in handicap at Fairyhouse (12f, good) 20 days ago. Up in trip. Blinkers on for 1st time in this code. Hard to fancy.
|
Pulled up in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Tramore (21.7f, good to soft) 34 days ago, unsuited by step up in trip. Up in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time, cheekpieces on 1st time. Ran well on latest Flat outing and shouldn't be ruled out.

Forecasts
Macinamillion (5/6), Say It So (11/2), Tom The Plasterer (10/1), Fire Coral (11/1), Hungry Rock (12/1), Futurum Regem (14/1), Special Protector (14/1), Dubai Clover (16/1), Hollywood Star (33/1), Rebel Ruler (40/1), Yenillik (40/1), Mythical Times (66/1), Churchmouse (66/1)
SAY IT SO is handicapped to win and shaped well having been left with plenty to do at Limerick last time, so he's the obvious choice in a thin race. Macinamillion is well treated returning to the Flat and deserves plenty of respect, while Hungry Rock isn't without hope dropped in grade.
- Say It So11/2
- Hungry Rock12/1
