At the top of his game with 2 wins in his fruitful winter campaign at this venue, first of 14 in handicap at this C&D (5/2) 17 days ago. Up 6lbs but should remain competitive.

7/2

Has three consecutive placed finishes, including twice at this C&D. Second of 14 in handicap at this C&D (3/1) 17 days ago, going down narrowly by a head having been the only one to get involved from off the pace. Now up 4lbs but arrives in fine heart.

Form: 90732-2

Mulgrave^t¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: James Ryan| T: Daniel Murphy| OR: 70| CD

15/2

Well established at this C&D with 6 wins (won this race in 2023 and 2024) but hasn't won in 13 runs, eighth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (8/1) 14 days ago where refused to settle and was one paced. Down 3lbs and is becoming well treated.

Hosanna Power¹⁰⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: J M Sheridan| T: D Broad| OR: 67

50/1

Struggling for form at the end of his time with Tim Easterby, ninth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (28/1) 105 days ago, led briefly before weakening. Betting can guide down in trip on first run for new trainer.

Ferrybank^b,t⁵⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Chris Hayes| T: T M Walsh| OR: 63| CD

6/1

Second of 14 in handicap at this C&D (3/1) 56 days ago, deserving extra credit having raced closer to pace than ideal. Up 3lbs with blinkers back on and should be in the mix.

Form: 465802-

(3)

Johnny's Oasis^v¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Adam Caffrey| T: A McGuinness| OR: 62| CD

11/1

Won here 84 days ago but ninth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (10/1) 17 days ago on latest start, wasn't at his best and merely passed beaten horses. Both career wins at this track but needs to bounce back.

Form: 15185-9

Lady Arwen⁸⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Rory Cleary| T: C O'Dwyer| OR: 62| D

33/1

0-3 on all-weather but ran well off this mark when second at Galway last September but has disappointed since, 12th of 20 in handicap at Curragh (33/1) 89 days ago. Back up in trip but winless in last 17 races.

Form: 7/04200-

Salah Belle¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Robbie Colgan| T: S Lavery| OR: 62| C

7/1

Third of 14 in handicap at course over 7f (11/2) 14 days ago. Will need to settle better upped to 1m but no surprise to see her capitalise on reduced mark at some point.

Form: 9755-33

(10)

Ferrari Desert^t³¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Joseph Harnett⁽⁷⁾| T: M Fahey| OR: 61| C

14/1

Second of 13 in handicap at this C&D (7/1) in March, bouncing back to best form ahead of a subsequent improver back in third. Has gone well fresh previously and she's one to be interested in if firing on all cylinders on reappearance.

Form: 33/6252-

(12)

Rockbury Lad^p,t¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Leigh Roche| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 61| CD

28/1

Better on AW but ninth of 14 in handicap over 7f at Dundalk (11/1) 14 days ago, slowly away and never better than mid-field. Cheekpieces back on but unreliable type overall.

Form: 08805-9

Forecasts

Moyassr (4/1), Daonethatgotaway (9/2), Ferrybank (5/1), Velvet Skies (6/1), Ferrari Desert (7/1), Unterberg (8/1), Salah Belle (8/1), Johnny's Oasis (16/1), Mulgrave (20/1), Amemri (20/1), Hosanna Power (25/1), Rockbury Lad (25/1), Dahab (25/1), Lady Arwen (33/1)

FERRARI DESERT bounced back to her best when second here last March (third franked the form) and having gone well fresh previously, she may be able to make a winning return. Mulgrave won this race in 2023 and 2024 and has fallen to a tempting mark, while Ferrybank deserves respect following a creditable second over C&D last time.
