Beauty Queen⁹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Siobhan Rutledge⁽³⁾| T: Gerard O'Leary| OR: 84| D

18/1

Two-time winner for Kevin Ryan who confirmed return to form for present yard when fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (6f, 12/1) in October. Return to 5f won't inconvenience her on that evidence and she's eased a little in the weights ahead of this.

Form: 760955-

Inishfallen^p⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Jack Kearney⁽³⁾| T: Stephen Thorne| OR: 82| BF

5/2

Eighteen runs since last win in 2023. 7/4, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at this course (7f) 9 days ago, challenged from 2f out and no extra final 1f. Not ruled out dropping to the minimum trip for the first time.

Form: 2595-44

Venetian^b1⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: J M Sheridan| T: D Hogan| OR: 80| C

25/1

Course winner. Latest win here in January. 16/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at this course (7f) 9 days ago. Down in trip. Blinkers on 1st time but present mark demands that little bit more.

Form: 247-175

(8)

Clonmacash^v²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Sam Coen⁽⁷⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 79| C| D

9/2

Three wins from 24 runs last year. Career best when winning 14-runner handicap (10/3) at this course (7f) 21 days ago, pushed out. Back down in trip now and firmly expected to go well again.

Form: 2094-41

(5)

Dontspoilasale^b²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: Reese Holohan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 79| C| D

17/2

Improved on recent efforts to win 7-runner handicap at this course (6f, 15/8) 21 days ago, well ridden. This looks more demanding from a 3 lb higher mark but respected nevertheless if arriving in similar form.

Form: 1566-41

(7)

Cuban Grey^p,t¹⁷⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Rory Mulligan⁽⁷⁾| T: P J McKenna| OR: 78| CD

14/1

C&D winner. Three wins from 12 runs last year. Seventeenth of 20 in handicap at York (5.4f, good, 25/1) when last seen in August, losing place around halfway. This ease back down in class rates an obvious plus back on home soil and worth noting he's gone well fresh previously.

Form: 561340-

Prairie Girl^p²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: Daniel Murphy| OR: 77| CD

7/4

Improving filly who took another step forward to make amends for her demotion here in December when winning 9-runner handicap at this C&D (9/4) 28 days ago, driven clear. Raised 8 lb on the back of that but no surprise to see her make another bold bid.

Form: 6341D-1

(2)

I'm Spartacus⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Rory Cleary| T: A McGuinness| OR: 64| BF| C

10/1

Course winner. Latest win here in December. Creditable fifth of 13 in handicap (5/2) at this course (6f) 9 days ago, fading close home. Should go well again.

Form: 56414-5

Forecasts

Prairie Girl (7/4), Inishfallen (5/2), Clonmacash (9/2), Dontspoilasale (17/2), I'm Spartacus (10/1), Cuban Grey (14/1), Beauty Queen (18/1), Venetian (25/1)

PRAIRIE GIRL has thrived upon joining her present yard, making amends for her demotion here in December when running out a ready winner of a 9-runner C&D handicap 4 weeks ago. She looks sure to take some stopping again despite a career-high mark and earns the vote. Clonmacash and Inishfallen are others to consider in what rates an interesting opener.
