Johnny's Oasis^v⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Ronan Whelan| T: A McGuinness| OR: 60| C

11/2

Dual course winner was below form when ninth of 14 in handicap here last time but this should be run to suit and he looks worth another chance dropped in grade.

Form: 5185-99

Wellwhatshappenin^p1¹⁰⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Jamie Powell| T: E & P Harty| OR: 60| BF| CD

9/2

Off the mark here (following 3 months off) in October and backed that up with pair of placed efforts. Looks the type to benefit from cheekpieces and could make bold bid returning from a break.

Comfort Line^v³⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-1| J: Cillian Rowan⁽¹⁰⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 59| CD

16/1

Six-time course winner took a step back in right direction on first start since rejoining yard, finishing fifth of 13 in C&D handicap under this inexperienced claimer. Needs considering at this level.

Form: 277-605

Alex Belardo^b¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Siobhan Rutledge⁽³⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 58| D

15/2

Wandered under pressure when making it a hat-trick of third place finishes at this track last time and remains with just a sole win to his name.

Form: 847-333

(6)

Amemri^v¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: Luke McAteer| T: D Marnane| OR: 57| CD

10/1

Five-time C&D winner held every chance over 1f out when tenth of 13 (in first-time visor) over 1m here last time and could be interesting now dropped back in trip.

Form: 585-970

(15)

Distillate^t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: Adam Caffrey| T: A McGuinness| OR: 57| CD

17/2

Went close over C&D last month but couldn't sustain her effort when seventh of 13 over 1m here last time and she'll need luck in running from stall 15.

Form: 8649-27

Georg Zhukov^h,t⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Billy Lee| T: E O'Connell| OR: 57| C

12/1

Off the mark over 1m here on stable debut in January but tongue strap back on (first time for new yard) having finished well beaten over same C&D last time.

Form: 3482-10

Bucky Larson⁴⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 9-9| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: P Sweeney| OR: 53| C| D

16/1

Broke long losing run in a well-run handicap here in December and did all he could when fourth of 12 in C&D claimer the following month.

Form: 0271-84

Punk Poet^t¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-8| J: Ben Coen| T: E Lynam| OR: 52| C| D

16/1

6-time course winner (all over 1m) was again below form when eighth of 13 latest but is well drawn for one who likes to race handy.

Form: 4900-08

(12)

Sakakawea^p⁹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Colin Keane| T: T M Walsh| OR: 48

8/1

Ended last year in form, attracting support when fifth of 12 in 6f handicap at this course in December. One to consider with Colin Keane back aboard.

Form: 000445-

(10)

River Derwent^v⁴²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: James Ryan| T: Thomas Coyle| OR: 46| CD

12/1

Three-time C&D winner who made it consecutive fourth place finishes here last time, though his tendency to start slowly remains a concern.

Form: 6003-44

(16)

Kitty Bear⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Orla Tynan⁽⁷⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 45| C

14/1

Belatedly off the mark over C&D in January before doing too much too soon last time. Stall 16 not the ideal berth for one who pulls hard.

Form: 770-415

(17)

Desert Of The Sea^v1¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Sadhbh Tormey⁽⁷⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 42| BF

8/1

Maiden who is running consistently well without winning, runner-up here last time. Now tried in more severe headgear but may not get the cover he needs from widest stall.

Form: 084-232

Kayamite^t⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Nathan Crosse| T: C Timmons| OR: 42

Forecasts

Wellwhatshappenin (9/2), Johnny's Oasis (11/2), Alex Belardo (15/2), Sakakawea (8/1), Desert Of The Sea (8/1), Distillate (17/2), Amemri (10/1), Georg Zhukov (12/1), River Derwent (12/1), Kitty Bear (14/1), Comfort Line (16/1), Punk Poet (16/1), Bucky Larson (16/1), Cosmic Force (16/1), Sixpence Stella (25/1), Kayamite (40/1), Hot To Foxtrot (50/1)

Having landed his breakthrough C&D success on the back of a break, low-mileage WELLWHATSHAPPENIN is fancied to repeat the feat. A strongly-run 7f should suit class-dropper Johnny's Oasis and Bucky Larson, the latter not ideally drawn, though.
