May Night¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Keithen Kennedy⁽⁷⁾| T: S M Duffy| OR: 75

100/1

First run since leaving Denis Hogan when eleventh of 14 in handicap at this C&D (25/1) 14 days ago, always behind. That was his first start for 5 months and he's entitled to be sharper now.

Form: 611350

Verified¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Shane Foley| T: C Weld| OR: 73

14/1

Maiden who shaped better than the bare result when sixth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. However, he was again very slowly away then which has to be a concern moving forward.

Form: 857906

Elegant Madame¹⁰⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: Billy Lee| T: A Murray| OR: 72

6/1

3-y-o filly who was proving consistent when last seen, second of 9 in handicap at Cork (1m, good to firm, 13/2) in August. Totally unexposed as a sprinter and no great surprise to see a bold showing off the front again.

Form: 505222

Army Of India¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Gary Carroll| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 71| D

33/1

Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. 20/1, first run since leaving H. D. McGuigan when tenth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. That came on the back of 9 months off and this should reveal more.

Form: 70-3390

James Henry^p²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Rory Cleary| T: L Breen| OR: 69| CD

11/2

C&D winner who refused to race on penultimate start but back on track when fourth of 8 in handicap at this C&D 2 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and each-way possibilities with a repeat turned out quickly.

Form: 1235P4

(13)

Never Shout Never^t²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Jamie Powell⁽³⁾| T: Stephen Thorne| OR: 69

4/1

One win from 21 Flat runs. Tongue strap on for 1st time, good second of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (5f, good to soft, 9/1) 26 days ago, having run of race. Makes polytrack debut.

Form: 463072

Revenite^h1¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Nathan Crosse| T: P F McEnery| OR: 69| D

25/1

50/1, ninth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, never better than midfield. Hood on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 076309

Sporting Hero^b¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Nicola Burns⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 68| CD

9/2

C&D winner. Latest win here in November. 5/1, creditable third of 12 in handicap at this course (5f) 16 days ago, staying on. Fancied to be in the mix again returned to this longer trip.

Form: 840013

Volatile Analyst^p³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Donagh O'Connor| T: Stephen Thorne| OR: 68| D

17/2

Twenty four runs since last win in 2022. 10/1, first run since leaving Jack W. Davison when respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at this course (7f) 35 days ago. Worth noting if the market speaks in his favour.

Form: 530084

Camachero³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Chris Hayes| T: N C Kelly| OR: 67

50/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form sixth of 13 in maiden at Galway (7f, heavy, 33/1) 32 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Edward Lynam and switch to handicaps rates a plus.

Form: 47456

(15)

Dandys Derriere^t²⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Sorcha Woods⁽⁷⁾| T: John O'Toole| OR: 67| D

33/1

11/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f). Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero.

Form: 91-2439

(3)

Irish Rumour^t¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: J M Sheridan| T: Miss Jennifer Anne Lynch| OR: 67

9/1

Winner at Navan in September. 9/2, below form seventh of 12 in handicap at this course (5f) 16 days ago, barely adequate test. Return to 6f looks in her favour on that evidence.

Form: 621367

(7)

Winemaker¹¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: D E Sheehy| T: D Dias| OR: 66| C| D

10/1

Dual course winner. 28/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good to firm) in August, losing place over 2f out. Return to this surface can likely see him in a better light back from a break and he's now 4 lb below his last winning mark.

Form: 602700

Devil's Angel⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Robbie Colgan| T: Kevin Coleman| OR: 64| BF| D

Forecasts

Never Shout Never (4/1), Sporting Hero (9/2), James Henry (11/2), Elegant Madame (6/1), Volatile Analyst (17/2), Irish Rumour (9/1), Winemaker (10/1), Devil's Angel (12/1), Verified (14/1), Revenite (25/1), Army Of India (33/1), Dandys Derriere (33/1), Camachero (50/1), May Night (100/1)

Unsurprisingly plenty in with a shout and it could be worth siding with ELEGANT MADAME. Knocking firmly on the door over longer trips this summer, she's completely unexposed as a sprinter and her mark looks an exploitable one. Sporting Hero back up at 6f, Winemaker back on this surface and Never Shout Never are others to consider. Market confidence behind Volatile Analyst would also look significant.
