Minaun View^p,t⁶³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Luke McAteer| T: N C Kelly| OR: 70

12/1

Ran well when 2nd at this C&D in claimer last October, then split a pair of next-time-out winners when 4th of 13 in maiden (40/1) 63 days ago bouncing back to form. Returns to claimer grade where ran her best race and should be in the mix.

Una Matata¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Sam Coen⁽⁷⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 67| C| D

13/8

Won at Dundalk 56 days ago and has run well in defeat on both subsequent starts. Third of 14 in handicap at Dundalk over 8f (4/1) 17 days ago, running well again. Proving consistent around Dundalk and has first start in claimer for current yard.

Ethelwulf⁹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: D S O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 65

80/1

Lightly-raced son of Cracksman who was runner-up on handicap debut for Gosden stable but finished sixth of 7 in 14f handicap at Nottingham (4/1) 99 days ago and failed to cope with heavy ground. Drops (markedly) in trip/class on first run for new trainer and he's one to note if supported.

Mehmar^p,t1¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Jack Kearney⁽³⁾| T: N Slevin| OR: 68

9/2

Has won twice over 6f on turf but merely ticking over when finishing sixth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (11/1) 14 days ago. May fare better dropped into a claimer with first-time tongue strap applied.

Form: 57760-6

Notforalongtime^p⁵⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-11| J: M W Hassett⁽³⁾| T: Laura Hourigan| OR: 66| CD

15/2

Won here 72 days ago, one of several course victories. Third of 14 in handicap at this C&D (9/1) 58 days ago, plugged on after being not ideally placed. More reliable at Dundalk than elsewhere and should give another good account.

Porsche Lad^b1⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Reese Holohan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 63| BF| C

7/2

Better on AW, ran up to best when second of 11 in claimer here over 10.7f (11/4) 7 days ago, led 2f out before headed in final furlong. Drops in trip with more severe headgear fitted and merits plenty of respect given his record around here.

Form: 4134-72

Never Shout Never^t²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Gavin Ryan| T: A McNamara| OR: 59| C

14/1

Finished 2nd in claimer at this C&D last August and not seen to best effect of late, not for the first time slowly away/not fully settling when never landing a blow over 6f here on Wednesday. Back up in trip and will need things to fall right to break 16 race losing sequence.

Form: 277-608

Tortola¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Jimmy Dalton⁽⁷⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 58

11/1

Ran well when third of 10 in claimer at this C&D om stable debut before shaping as if still in good form when fifth of 14 in handicap here (12/1) 14 days ago. One to consider back in claiming company.

Form: 80/083-5

Bucky Larson⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 9-6| J: J A Heffernan| T: P Sweeney| OR: 51| C| D

12/1

Veteran who broke long losing run here 56 days ago but eighth of 13 in handicap (14/1) 7 days ago, merely passing beaten horses. Hard to be confident as consistency isn't a strong suit.

Form: 20271-8

Surf On Jamie^p1,t¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Rory Mulligan⁽⁷⁾| T: Paul Mulligan| OR: 46

150/1

Eleventh of 14 in 10f handicap at this course (33/1) 17 days ago, failed to improve on handicap debut. Back down in trip with questions to answer but drops into a claimer for first time.

Form: 6008-0

Forecasts

Una Matata (13/8), Porsche Lad (7/2), Mehmar (9/2), Notforalongtime (15/2), Tortola (11/1), Bucky Larson (12/1), Minaun View (12/1), Never Shout Never (14/1), Ethelwulf (80/1), Hezahunk (80/1), Spirit Of Eagles (125/1), Surf On Jamie (150/1)

MINAUN VIEW ran her best race to finish runner-up in a C&D claimer and did well to split a pair of subsequent winners when fourth in a 1m maiden here last time. She makes appeal, especially if supported, while Notforalongtime is a more reliable proposition at Dundalk than elsewhere and looks a danger along with in-form Una Matata who has her first start in a claimer for current connections. Tortola is one of the least exposed and she's another to note in an open-looking race.
