Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Scott McCullagh| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 75

6/1

Wooded gelding who ran below the pick of his early season form when tenth of 17 in maiden at Leopardstown (8f, good) 38 days ago. Still, no great surprise to see him bounce back and this longer trip is worth exploring.

Form: 6-540

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 80| BF

8/13

Fairly useful gelding. Second of 4 in minor event at Listowel (8f, good, 6/4) 22 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time now stepping back up in trip and he ought to be in the thick of things again.

Form: 322-342

Sigliosa²¹

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

18/1

Ulysses gelding. Dam, French 1½m winner. 28/1, fifth of 11 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, good to firm) on debut 21 days ago, very slowly away. Looks one for the longer-term on that evidence.

Form: 5

Silence Is Wisdom^t¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Wesley Joyce⁽³⁾| T: P Magee

125/1

James Garfield gelding. Tongue strap on, ran to just a poor level when tenth of 15 in maiden at Fairyhouse (11.9f, good to soft, 125/1) on debut 10 days ago.

Form: 0

Some Good Men Gone¹⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Ben Coen| T: A Slattery

28/1

€12,000 half-brother to useful French 9.5f-15f winner Waldora. Showed a bit when eighth of 10 in maiden at Dundalk (8f, 7/1) on debut in January. Absent/gelded since and this should reveal more.

Form: 8

Ballyshannon Lilly⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Shane Foley| T: M Fahey

8/1

Shaman filly who showed ability when sixth of 16 in maiden at Cork (10.4f, good, 66/1) on debut 48 days ago. Rates the type to do better but she's probably one for handicaps further down the line.

Form: 6

Ulysses Rose

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Gary Carroll| T: G P Cromwell

5/1

€18,000 foal, €20,000 yearling, Ulysses filly. Sister to 2-y-o 1m winner Rose of Ithaca and 6f-1m winner Telemachus. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner, half-sister to useful 1½m winner Twitch. Market can guide on debut.

Forecasts

Nobler (8/13), Made U Blush (4/1), Ulysses Rose (5/1), Dahoma (6/1), Ballyshannon Lilly (8/1), Sigliosa (18/1), Wonderfulwonderful (22/1), Some Good Men Gone (28/1), Silence Is Wisdom (125/1)

Having showed more than enough to think a race of this nature is within reach already, NOBLER has also marked himself out as a candidate for headgear, so with the application of first-time blinkers potentially a good move, he can make it seventh time lucky back at this longer trip. Made U Blush and Dahoma rate next best.
