5/1

One win from 26 Flat runs. Improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner maiden claimer at this course (6f, 11/2) 7 days ago, leading dying strides. Possibilities if replicating that back in handicap company from his basement mark.

10/1

20/1, bit below form ninth of 15 in handicap at Navan (5f, good) 27 days ago, racing off the pace and never a threat. Not one to write off judged on promise of her previous run at Naas and booking of Keane an obvious plus.

80/1

Forecasts

Hero Of The Hour (11/4), Hezahunk (5/1), Senado Square (11/2), Realtin Fantasy (11/2), Eruption (13/2), Phil's Dream (8/1), Stopitnowjulia (10/1), No Speed Limit (10/1), My Girl Sioux (10/1), Tai Sing Yeh (18/1), Jackie Brown (25/1), Only A Star (25/1), Charming Lady (25/1), Speedwood (28/1), Rhasidat (40/1), Veracidad (80/1)

A run-of-the-mill sprint handicap with the narrow vote in favour of PHIL'S DREAM. Back on his last winning mark, he's entitled to be sharper for his recent return at Laytown and, with the visor back on, it would come as no surprise to see him firmly in the mix. No Speed Limit, Hero of The Hour and Hezahunk are others to consider.
