Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: S Aherne| OR: 95| BF

14/1

Much better signs when placed in pair of handicaps during the spring. Absent since finishing a disappointing twelfth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Cork (16.9f, good to soft, 4/1) 95 days ago but no surprise to see him get back on the up.

Form: 9P53-30

Ragmans Corner⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: Jack Kearney⁽⁵⁾| T: G Keane| OR: 94| BF

11/4

Seventh of 9 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (17.8f, good, 15/8) 43 days ago, weakening between last 2. Ease back in trip looks in his favour and he's not discounted.

Form: 0685-27

Lar's Lass¹⁵⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Keith Donoghue| T: Tom Dreaper| OR: 93

14/1

Latest win in chase at Punchestown (22.1f) in February. Good fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle (4/1) at Ballinrobe (21.4f, good) in May, leading on bridle between last 2 and no extra run-in. Potentially well treated in this sphere back from a break. Down in trip.

11/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, stepped up a little on exploits in maidens when eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, soft) 34 days ago. Needs to take another step forward here.

Fourteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (15.6f, soft, 33/1) 8 days ago. Hard to recommend judged on recent efforts.

10/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (19.9f, good) 93 days ago. Improvement required if he's to feature.

Forecasts

Ragmans Corner (11/4), Destivelle (5/1), Anysignofhim (11/2), Bowgate Street (7/1), Realtin Lonrach (7/1), Tullyhogue Fort (10/1), County Champs (10/1), Bella Be Good (12/1), Get It Right (14/1), Lar's Lass (14/1), Mandarin Monarch (20/1), Grivei (22/1), Hurricane Honey (28/1), Road To The Weir (28/1)

DESTIVELLE stepped forward from her reappearance effort when runner-up at Kilbeggan 5 weeks ago and, despite her maiden status, she's worth chancing to confirm her present mark a workable one. Ragmans Corner and Lar's Lass are others holding solid claims along with Bowgate Street. Get It Right is another not to be giving up on either.
