Angelo Pio^t²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 68| BF

2/1

Lightly-raced colt who backed up the improvement showed on penultimate start when creditable third of 12 in handicap at Sligo (10.6f, good, 5/2) 26 days ago, seeming to finish with more to give having been short of room. Considered back in maiden company.

Beat The Devil^t¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Robbie Colgan| T: P Magee

66/1

Twice-raced gelding. Fifth of 12 in maiden claimer (25/1) at Roscommon (7.4f, good) 11 days ago, fading when headed final 1f. Significantly up in trip and more needed.

Form: 05

Broadstone^p1³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 68

5/2

Thrice-raced gelding. Fourth of 12 in maiden at Limerick (7f, soft, 7/2) 35 days ago, not convincing with his head carriage under pressure. Respected on pick of form with cheekpieces now reached for.

Form: 6-54

(3)

Cooley's Mist³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: N Lupini

16/1

Churchill colt. Dam 7f/1m winner. Showed ability amidst inexperience when sixth of 10 in maiden at Leopardstown (10f) in April but failed to stay under change of tactics when thirteenth of 20 in maiden at Navan (10.1f, soft) 34 days ago. Not one to write off.

Form: 60

Georg Zhukov^h1,t1⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Chris Hayes| T: N Meade| OR: 70

16/1

Fair gelding. Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Cork (12.1f, soft, 12/1) 41 days ago, weakening having pulled his way into a prominent position entering back straight. Hood/tongue tie reached for now.

Form: 9288-00

Minella Boss³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: J M Sheridan| T: J Nallen| OR: 69

4/1

Thrice-raced gelding. Shaped as if better for the run following 6 months off when ninth of 20 in maiden at Navan (10.1f, soft, 33/1) 34 days ago, not knocked about. Sort his yard do well with in handicaps.

Form: 23-9

Nakatomi²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: D Egan| T: A Murray| OR: 69

10/1

Fair gelding. 16/1, creditable sixth of 12 in handicap at Sligo (10.6f, good) 26 days ago, plugging on. Not out of things in an ordinary maiden.

Form: 8280-66

Rubadub Dubh¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 67

22/1

Son of Dark Angel who hasn't progressed in 2 starts since his debut, eighth of 12 in maiden claimer at Roscommon (7.4f, good) 11 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

Form: 758

Summer Island¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Donagh O'Connor| T: J C McConnell

16/1

Showed more than first time up when sixth of 17 in maiden (200/1) at Leopardstown (8f, good) 14 days ago, never nearer. Longer trip ought to hold no fears on that evidence and unlikely we've seen the best of him yet.

Form: 06

Alba Chiara³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Wayne Lordan| T: N Lupini

28/1

Twice-raced filly. Shaped better than distance beaten suggests after 6 months off when last of 7 in maiden at Limerick (11.9f, heavy, 9/1) 35 days ago. Feasible to think she can do better with that run under her belt and handicaps could see her in an even better light on the back of this.

Form: 5-7

(2)

Electric Beauty^p1⁹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Billy Lee| T: K J Condon| OR: 66

18/1

Promising sort. 12/1, seventh of 11 in maiden at Dundalk (8f), met some trouble. Off 98 days. Significantly up in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Enters calculations.

Form: 4-37

(6)

Lady Plimsoll³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Nathan Crosse| T: John O'Donoghue| OR: 70

50/1

Lightly-raced filly. Bit below form sixth of 14 in maiden (9/1) at Ayr (8f, good to firm) 32 days ago. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 6-206

(8)

Tirhakah³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh

18/1

Calyx filly who showed a bit more than on debut when fifth of 7 in maiden at Limerick (11.9f, heavy, 17/2) 35 days ago. Still, she appeals as the type to do better in handicaps on the back of this.

Form: 95

Forecasts

Angelo Pio (2/1), Broadstone (5/2), Minella Boss (4/1), Nakatomi (10/1), Cooley's Mist (16/1), Summer Island (16/1), Georg Zhukov (16/1), Electric Beauty (18/1), Tirhakah (18/1), Rubadub Dubh (22/1), Alba Chiara (28/1), Diva Time (33/1), Lady Plimsoll (50/1), Beat The Devil (66/1)

ANGELO PIO has improved for the switch to turf, matching his previous best despite having little go right when third of 12 in handicap at Sligo 26 days ago. He has an even bigger effort in his locker on that evidence and earns the vote to open his account. Electric Beauty is an interesting runner on turf debut with Broadstone and Cooley's Mist others in the mix. Alba Chiara is another to keep an eye on.
