Benavente^p¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Reese Holohan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 72| CD

4/1

Fairly useful gelding. 5-time course winner, the latest gained in December. Good second of 14 in handicap back here (12f, 8/1) 14 days ago, running on. Stablemates Persian Bliss and Tyson Fury have brighter prospects on these terms, though.

Form: 1-87642

Persian Bliss^t¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Colin Keane| T: D Hogan| OR: 90| CD

9/2

C&D winner. Two wins from 4 runs last year. 80/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving Adrian Murray when last of 7 in minor event at this C&D 14 days ago, very slowly away. Has to be taken seriously on these terms.

Form: 3/1128-7

Tyson Fury^p¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: J M Sheridan| T: D Hogan| OR: 96| C

8/11

Useful gelding. Course winner. Sixth of 7 in minor event (18/1) at this C&D 14 days ago. Clear pick at the weights and he's hard to oppose.

Form: 520/3-46

Saith Seren^h²⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Abbie Murphy⁽¹⁰⁾| T: A Lee| OR: 47

66/1

Modest mare. 6/1, bit below form fourth of 12 in handicap at Killarney (8.2f, soft), faring best of those held up. Off 8 months and she faces an uphill task on these terms.

Form: 620/894-

Perfect Judgement^b⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Jamie Powell| T: Stephen Thorne| OR: 73| C

13/2

Fairly useful gelding. 4-time course winner. Twelfth of 14 in handicap at this course (7f, 18/1) 7 days ago. Significantly up in trip and blinkers back on.

Form: 3758-00

(2)

Albion Princess^b,t⁹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Patrick McGettigan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Kinsella| OR: 36| CD

125/1

Poor mare. C&D winner. Last of 14 in handicap at this C&D (80/1) last time and likely to struggle once more.

Form: 001000-

Forecasts

Tyson Fury (8/11), Benavente (4/1), Persian Bliss (9/2), Perfect Judgement (13/2), Saith Seren (66/1), Albion Princess (125/1)

This is likely to be dominated by the Denis Hogan-trained trio, with TYSON FURY the clear pick ahead of Persian Bliss and Benavente. The 9-y-o usually keeps better company than this and it'll be disappointing should he fail to deliver.
