25/1

12/1, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Bellewstown (12.2f, good). Off 13 months ahead of this yard debut and it's probably best to look elsewhere on this occasion.

Randall Poets Lass³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Nicola Burns⁽⁷⁾| T: S Fahey| OR: 46

8/1

Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Seventh of 10 in handicap (8/1) at Killarney (14.4f, soft) 31 days ago. Looks vulnerable.

6/1

Third of 13 in handicap hurdle (13/2) at Kilbeggan (18.9f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Poor on last Flat run, but if able to translate recent hurdles form back in this sphere he will be a danger to all.

Form: 0700/0-8

14/1

16/1, respectable seventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (16.8f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Up in trip and others make more appeal.

Forecasts

Spinning Web (7/4), Dumb Love (2/1), Swelltime (6/1), Randall Poets Lass (8/1), Highland Bells (10/1), Ballycommon Chapel (14/1), Duke Otto (14/1), Share The Treasure (20/1), Takarengo (22/1), Rauzan (25/1), Navajo River (25/1)

A chance is taken on SWELLTIME, who didn't show much on his sole start on the Flat in 2024, but he was successful over hurdles at Killarney last month and resumes in this sphere on a basement mark. Dumb Love looks pretty solid in the context of this race and she is feared most ahead of Highland Bells and Spinning Web.
