Dance Night Andday²¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 98| D

6/1

5¾ lengths eighth of 9 to Oujda in listed race at the Curragh (6f, good to soft, 9/2) when last seen in October. Won 3 times in 2024, including on her seasonal reappearance, and she will have a chance if ready to roll this time round, too.

Chicago Fireball^p1⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 91

9/1

Eleventh of 15 in handicap at Naas (7f, heavy, 16/1) 44 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and he will be a danger to all if reproducing something akin to his peak 2024 form.

Form: 13272-0

Tokenomics²⁰⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Luke McAteer| T: D Marnane| OR: 90| BF| D

4/1

Creditable third of 9 in handicap (11/4) at Dundalk (8f). Off 6 months but he will be in with a fighting chance if fully tuned-up for this seasonal reappearance.

Kings Time^t²⁶⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 89| CD

22/1

C&D winner. 16/5, last of 7 in handicap at Gowran (7f, good), reportedly bled. Off 8 months and he's 8 lb higher in the weights compared to when winning this race 12 months ago.

Form: 410/107-

Cheers Again⁵¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Billy Lee| T: P W Flynn| OR: 85

5/2

18/1, twenty-third of 27 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, soft) 51 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 1/330-40

Serialise²³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Nathan Crosse| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 85| CD

14/1

C&D winner. Creditable third of 19 in handicap (22/1) at Leopardstown (8f, good). Off 7 months and jockey bookings suggest that Kings Time is the stable first-string.

Usuario Amigo¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Gary Carroll| T: R O'Brien| OR: 85| D

16/1

First run since leaving James Owen when eleventh of 16 in handicap (28/1) at Limerick (8.2f, heavy) 11 days ago. Readily passed over.

Form: 25201-0

Mallavelly^h,t³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 82

9/2

First run since leaving Jane Chapple-Hyam and hooded for 1st time (also worse a first-time tongue strap) when winning 9-runner maiden at Dundalk (8f) 39 days ago. 0-9 on turf but conditions won't be a problem and she's a must for the shortlist.

Form: 48430-1

Ohailbhic²⁶⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Jamie Powell⁽³⁾| T: J Feane| OR: 80

10/1

Last of 6 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good to firm, 4/1). Off 8 months (gelded in the interim) and he's not without hope judged on what he showed in a couple of 6f Naas handicaps last season. This will be his first try at 7f and it could prove to be ideal.

Form: 144306-

Forecasts

Cheers Again (5/2), Tokenomics (4/1), Mallavelly (9/2), Dance Night Andday (6/1), Chicago Fireball (9/1), Ohailbhic (10/1), Serialise (14/1), Usuario Amigo (16/1), Kings Time (22/1)

This looks pretty open and it's worth siding with OHAILBHIC, who ended last season's truncated campaign on something of a low-key note but he caught the eye on a couple of occasions off higher marks than this in 2024 (including on his seasonal reappearance) and shapes as though this intermediate trip could be ideal.
