12/1

Twice-raced maiden. 40/1, eighth of 13 in bumper at Roscommon (15.4f, soft) 22 days ago. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 68

Jazzwing³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Anna McGuinness⁽⁷⁾| T: Peter Fahey

11/1

Twice-raced maiden. 25/1, eighth of 15 in bumper at Ballinrobe (15.5f, good) 36 days ago. Might strip fitter for that and can get involved if back to the sort of form she showed on debut.

Form: 3-8

Alaskan View^t¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Miss P Elvin⁽⁷⁾| T: W J Martin

15/2

Once-raced maiden. 50/1 and tongue strap on, second of 15 in bumper at Tramore (16.4f, good to soft) on NH debut 12 days ago. More to come and is worth a chance to go one better.

Form: 2

Diamond Tipp^t¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Miss A B O'Connor| T: J C McConnell

2/1

Twice-raced maiden. 11/1, second of 13 in bumper at Tramore (16.6f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Should be on the premises again.

Form: 52

Jeni Kala

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Miss E Cody⁽⁷⁾| T: M Butler

28/1

Kalanisi filly. Dam placed on Flat (stayed 1¼m). Doesn't make much appeal on paper.

Form:

Forecasts

Diamond Tipp (2/1), Locked Box (9/2), Monroes Hollow (9/2), Alaskan View (15/2), Barton Snow (17/2), Jazzwing (11/1), Albert Hirsch (12/1), Victor Sweet (16/1), Jeni Kala (28/1), King Mal (33/1), Inch Salvador (33/1), Arctic Craft (66/1)

ALASKAN VIEW outran big odds when a promising second at Tramore on debut and she's capable of better, so she's preferred to Monroes Hollow, who also arrives on the back of a positive start. Diamond Tipp is another one to consider.
