Cleopatra's Needle^h,t⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Chris Hayes| T: H Rogers| OR: 52

11/2

One win from 26 Flat runs. Respectable sixth of 18 in handicap at Fairyhouse (10f, good, 13/2) 6 days ago, left with too much to do.

Form: 5060-66

Higher Kingdom^t¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: Adam Caffrey| T: A McGuinness| OR: 52

7/1

Did quite well to finish 6½ lengths third of 12 to Deuteronomy in handicap at Gowran (8f, good to firm, 4/1) 10 days ago, left with too much to do having reverted to slow-starting ways. Can make presence felt.

Man Is King¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Wesley Joyce⁽³⁾| T: Thomas Dowling| OR: 51

10/1

Below form 10¾ lengths eleventh of 18 to Dolce Far Niente in handicap at Fairyhouse (10f, good, 10/1) 6 days ago. Consistency isn't his forte.

Deuteronomy^v¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Nicola Burns⁽⁷⁾| T: R P Burns| OR: 47

6/1

Visored for 1st time and finally off the mark in 12-runner handicap at Gowran (8f, good to firm, 12/1) 10 days ago, well positioned. Much depends on whether the headgear works again.

Forecasts

Dolce Far Niente (4/1), Famous Enough (4/1), Cleopatra's Needle (11/2), Deuteronomy (6/1), Higher Kingdom (7/1), Academe (7/1), Master Garvey (10/1), Man Is King (10/1), Celtic Druid (12/1), Still She Blooms (14/1), Sayfa Fad (14/1), Pegula (18/1), Knockmore Prince (25/1), Tartaraghan (25/1), Amavasya (25/1), Wonderwalk (50/1)

Having been heavily backed at Listowel 11 days ago, STILL SHE BLOOMS was denied a clear run on more than one occasion. She needs treating as though still in form so gets the nod in favour of Higher Kingdom and Cleopatra's Needle.
