Albion Power⁸³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Luke McAteer| T: K H Clarke| OR: 57

50/1

Lightly-raced gelding. Offered little after 4 months off when tenth of 12 in handicap at this course (1m) 83 days ago. Needs to leave that well behind returned to maiden company.

Modern Talking⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Donagh O'Connor| T: R O'Brien

12/1

Sold cheaply earlier this year and he could only run to a poor level when ninth of 13 in maiden at Galway (7f, heavy, 16/1) on debut 9 days ago. Much more required.

Form: 9

Yaxchilan^p1,t²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Leigh Roche| T: D K Weld| OR: 65

14/1

Lightly-raced gelding. 8/1, ninth of 14 in maiden at Navan (5.8f, good to soft) 28 days ago, merely plugging on. Return to this longer trip looks in his favour with cheekpieces now the headgear of choice.

Form: 44079

Relaxed Zone³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: J M Sheridan| T: P F O'Donnell

200/1

€3,500 yearling, Elzaam filly. Went with little promise when tenth of 12 in maiden at Killarney (8.1f, heavy, 150/1) on debut 30 days ago, racing off the pace and never involved.

Form: 0

Authenticate⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Mikey Sheehy| T: J P O'Brien

9/2

Siyouni filly who showed more than on debut following 7 months off when sixth of 14 in maiden (13/2) at this course (1m) 5 days ago, fading only late on. Open to further progress and claims provided this doesn't come too soon.

Form: 96

Bahama Bear¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Robbie Colgan| T: N Slevin

28/1

Kodi Bear filly. Showed a bit when fifth of 8 in maiden at this course (6f) on debut 19 days ago, keeping on without threatening. Claims of being in the mix if building on that effort.

Form: 5

(3)

Declaree^b,t²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: D E Sheehy| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 77

4/7

Fairly useful filly who went close to breaking her duck when second in a Fairyhouse maiden (7f) in September. Found listed level beyond her at Naas (1m) last month but solid claims returned to calmer waters with a tongue strap refitted.

Form: 333320

Our Lucky Lady

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Rory Cleary| T: P G Fahey

25/1

The Irish Rover filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 2-y-o 8.3f winner Lisheen Castle and 2-y-o 7f winner Laughter Lounge.

Winsome³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Nathan Crosse| T: J P O'Brien| BF

13/2

485,000 gns yearling, Wootton Bassett filly. 4/6, fifth of 7 in maiden at Down Royal (7.1f, soft) on debut 37 days ago, fading final 1f. Clearly thought capable of better then and no surprise were she to take a big step forward.

Form: 5

Forecasts

Declaree (4/7), Authenticate (9/2), Winsome (13/2), Modern Talking (12/1), Yaxchilan (14/1), Our Lucky Lady (25/1), Bahama Bear (28/1), Albion Power (50/1), Relaxed Zone (200/1)

DECLAREE found listed company a bridge too far on her latest outing, yet she'd previously gone close to breaking her duck in a Fairyhouse maiden over this trip in September. She's given the vote to come out on top back in calmer waters. Joseph O'Brien pair Winsome and Authenticate both appeal as the types who can do better and head up the dangers.
