7/2

Back to somewhere near best form when third of 9 in handicap (14/1) at Fairyhouse (6f, good to soft) 30 days ago, suited by way race developed. Not out of things.

(4)

El Fontenaro²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ronan Whelan| T: J P Fahey| OR: 61

7/2

Acquitted herself well in both starts this term, latest when fourth of 7 in handicap at Down Royal (5f, good, 10/3) 23 days ago. Can race off same mark here and is one for shortlist.

Form: 6720-34

(5)

Forecasts

Send Harry (7/2), El Fontenaro (7/2), Skillman Ave (4/1), This Ain't Texas (4/1), Bundle Of Interest (15/2), McIntosh (9/1), Raising The Flag (14/1), Bluebelardo (22/1), Carmina Burana (66/1)

EL FONTENARO hasn't done a lot wrong in either start this season and is taken to open her account here. Skillman Ave and Send Harry may provide the chief threat.
