2/1

Improved from debut after 7 months off when third of 9 in bumper (13/2) at Fairyhouse (16.5f, soft) on New Year's Day, finishing well. Clearly not the easiest to get to the track having been absent for another 7 months but respected nonetheless.

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr F R Buckley⁽⁷⁾| T: J C McConnell

5/2

2/1 and hooded for 1st time, stepped up on her debut form under another positive ride when second of 8 in bumper at Downpatrick (18.8f, good to firm) 20 days ago, clear of rest. Fancied to go one better.

Non-Runners

Kashchei⁴

Weight: 12-0| Age: 5

T: D Queally J: Mr D L Queally

Forecasts

Passenger (2/1), St Lawrence's Well (9/4), Walks The Talk (5/2), Kashchei (6/1), Court Canyon (7/1), Crossroads (14/1), Butch Coolidge (33/1), Silly Mongoose (40/1), Shannonvale (50/1), How's The Head (66/1), Subpoena (150/1)

Preference is for WALKS THE TALK, who stepped up on her debut effort when runner-up at Downpatrick last month and John McConnell's 6-y-o can make it third time lucky at the expense of Passenger, who is clearly not the easiest to get to the track but finished well when third at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day. Declan Queally's pair St Lawrence's Well and Kashchei can fight out third.
