6/1

Won handicap over 8f at Leopardstown (7/2) 13 days ago, scoring cosily with more in hand than the margin suggests. Should handle this step up in trip.

Great Mover^v1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Nathan Crosse| T: W McCreery| OR: 67| BF

12/1

Placed third twice in handicaps but still seeking first win after 10 starts, most recently finishing 4th of 17 at Cork (9/2) 19 days ago when staying on late. First-time visor today might help improve concentration.

Form: 230-634

You Are Mine¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: J A Stack| OR: 67

13/2

Performed well in handicaps, finishing second of 17 in handicap at Cork (7/1) 19 days ago, making the running and staying on well when headed. Still seeking first win but shapes as though this step up to 9f will suit. Good shout.

10/3

Course and distance winner in April who finished second of 6 in handicap at Gowran Park (9/4) 17 days ago, taking strong hold and challenging from 2f out. Likely to be competitive returning to Tipperary.

Form: 88-8142

Can I Kiss You⁹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Gavin Ryan| T: J M Barrett| OR: 65

33/1

Has shown limited ability in three maiden starts, most recently finishing 5th of 7 in a 9.6f maiden at Gowran Park (80/1) 91 days ago when slowly into stride and merely plugging on. Making handicap debut today and will need significant improvement to make an impact.

Form: 585

Vlhova¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Jack Kearney⁽³⁾| T: Kevin Coleman| OR: 65

11/2

Ran well when 3rd of 17 in a handicap at Cork (12/1) 19 days ago, just lacking a late change of gears after being prominent throughout. The step up to 9f could bring further improvement.

Form: 9673-73

Cala Bonita^t¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Chris Hayes| T: M J Smith| OR: 63

16/1

Won a handicap at Gowran Park in May with tongue strap but finished 10th of 13 in handicap at Down Royal (4/1) 11 days ago, running below previous form. Returns to a course where previously ran well and drop back in trip may help.

Form: 000-210

Glenroyal⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 63

9/2

Failed to show much ability in maiden/median auction starts before gelding operation. Finished second of 8 in 9.7f handicap at Ballinrobe (10/1) 9 days ago, staying on well in the closing stages after being outpaced 3f out. Likely to build on that much improved performance.

Form: 09702

(3)

Tofino^p1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Gary Carroll| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 62

20/1

Modest performer in handicaps. Sixth of 13 in handicap at Limerick (7/1) 21 days ago, racing off the pace and never threatening. First-time cheekpieces tried today.

Form: 0004-36

(5)

Magnolia Drive⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D E Sheehy| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 60| BF

10/1

Has shown improved form since stepping up in trip for handicaps. Ran best race when runner-up of 8 in 9.7f handicap at Ballinrobe (7/4) 9 days ago, gambled on and only edged out late. Likely to remain competitive.

Form: 000082

(7)

Ballymagreehan²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Luke McAteer| T: D Marnane| OR: 54

18/1

Finished 11th of 18 in handicap debut over 8f at Leopardstown (25/1) 27 days ago, racing off the pace and never threatening. Stepping up in trip and difficult to fancy on current evidence.

Form: 00-60

(6)

Boutella¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Leigh Roche| T: D Marnane| OR: 53

40/1

Best effort was 4th in first-time cheekpieces 10 months ago but finished 11th of 17 in handicap at Cork (33/1) 19 days ago, racing wide after absence. Likely to struggle again.

Onemoredance (10/3), Glenroyal (9/2), Vlhova (11/2), Faoladh (6/1), You Are Mine (13/2), Magnolia Drive (10/1), Great Mover (12/1), Cala Bonita (16/1), Ballymagreehan (18/1), Tofino (20/1), Wonderfulwonderful (25/1), Can I Kiss You (33/1), Boutella (40/1), Real Petite (100/1)

YOU ARE MINE is fancied to go one better after a strong second at Cork where she made the running and stuck to her task well. The return to 9f should suit this progressive filly. Vlhova caught the eye when third in the same Cork race and will appreciate this extra furlong. Glenroyal showed much improved form at Ballinrobe and remains open to further progress.
