15/2

2 wins from 4 runs this year. Thirteenth of 18 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good, 40/1) 18 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

85/40

Course winner who was returning from 6 months off when good third of 9 in handicap at Gowran (7f, soft, 10/1) 49 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Should be spot on now and holds strong claims.

Form: 34184-3

5/1

Course winner who bounced back to form when good second of 20 in handicap (28/1) at the Curragh (8f, good) 19 days ago. Raised 3 lb since but is not taken lightly.

Form: 54-2662

9/2

Returned to winning ways at Ballinrobe (9.6f) last month and followed up over hurdles at Clonmel 27 days ago. Remains feasibly treated back on level and must enter calculations.

Form: 412-301

Facethepuckout¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: Colin Keane| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 78| D

11/2

Stepped up on reappearance run when respectable third of 13 in handicap (11/1) at Listowel (6.3f, good) 10 days ago, left with too much to do. Back up in trip. Not out of things.

Form: 3050-83

Sylkie^p³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Rory Cleary| T: D Howard| OR: 73| D

33/1

33/1, 19¾ lengths seventh of 8 to Expound in handicap at Ballinrobe (9.6f, good) 33 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Yet to fire this term.

Form: 4191-07

Forecasts

Bellaphina (85/40), Expound (9/2), Anvika (5/1), Nocturnal (5/1), Facethepuckout (11/2), Perfect Judgement (15/2), Sylkie (33/1)

BELLAPHINA made an encouraging return at Gowran in April and can race off the same mark here. She makes fair appeal. Anvika and Expound rate the principal dangers.
