7/2

Back to form after low-key start to season when third of 15 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good) 12 days ago. Player if able to build on that

Exquisite Acclaim^p¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Adam Caffrey| T: A McGuinness| OR: 82| D

6/1

Latest win at Dundalk in February. Creditable second of 15 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good, 22/1) 12 days ago. Still well treated on the pick of his form and merits plenty of respect from unchanged mark.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Donagh O'Connor| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 82| CD

11/4

C&D winner. Second at Gowran on penultimate outing and shaped as if still in good form when seventh of 15 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good, 11/2) 12 days ago, left poorly placed. Player

Facethepuckout²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: L F Roche| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 81| D

10/1

Didn't need to improve to win 7-runner handicap (11/2) at Limerick (8f, good) 28 days ago, suited by emphasis on speed. Trainer going well but 3 lb higher mark demands more.

Form: 050-831

I Bid You Ajou²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: S Foley| T: M Fahey| OR: 80| C

2/1

Career best when completing hat-trick in 10-runner handicap at this course (6f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Strong-travelling sort likely hasn't finished improving yet and should go well again up in trip.

11/1

Won at the Curragh last season. Shaped as if better for run when seventh of 13 in handicap (14/1) at same course (7f, good) 88 days ago. Others preferred.

Forecasts

I Bid You Ajou (2/1), Four Blondes (11/4), Blues Emperor (7/2), Exquisite Acclaim (6/1), Facethepuckout (10/1), Imperial Dream (11/1)

I BID YOU AJOU is still unexposed and can record a fourth consecutive success at the track, the previous 3 all coming at 6f. Exquisite Acclaim ran well in a big field at the Curragh last month and is respected from the same mark, with Four Blondes worth another chance to confirm her promising Gowran effort having not been seen to best effect in that same contest.
