Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Paddy Harnett| T: N Lupini| OR: 67| CD

40/1

Off the mark in a C&D handicap in January but well beaten back here next time and she looks up against it on these terms.

Form: 699-10

The Liffey^b,t²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Reese Holohan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 86| C

10/11

Failed to make a significant impact in handicaps here on first 3 runs for this yard but has won claimers over 6f/1m the last twice. Return to this trip may prove ideal and should complete the hat-trick.

Form: 47-6611

Ruff Justice²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Conor Cusack⁽⁷⁾| T: E O'Connell| OR: 70

22/1

Largely disappointing last year and finished down the field in a 1m handicap on return/debut for new yard last month.

Form: 06895-9

Una Matata⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Nicola Burns⁽²⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 73| CD

2/1

Enhanced fine strike rate for current connections with career-best success over C&D on penultimate start. Didn't perform at all badly back here last week and she's not without each-way hope.

Crest Of Light^p⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Jack Kearney| T: C Collins| OR: 67

50/1

Well held all 3 starts for Ross Burdon in the second half of last year and now show in a couple of runs over hurdles for new yard during the winter. Readily passed over.

Dontspoilasale^b⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: J Cleary| T: D Hogan| OR: 74| C

17/2

Regained the winning thread when recording third success here in January, benefiting from a well-judged ride from the front. However, he's not the most consistent overall and has come up short all 4 subsequent starts.

Benavente^p⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Julian Pietropaolo⁽⁴⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 71| CD

10/1

Five-time course winner but trailed in last of 8 in a handicap over 1½m here last week and he's opposable on these terms.

Forecasts

The Liffey (10/11), Una Matata (2/1), Dontspoilasale (17/2), Benavente (10/1), Suerte (20/1), Ruff Justice (22/1), Thaloria (40/1), Crest Of Light (50/1)

It's hard to look beyond THE LIFFEY, who is bidding for the hat-trick following back-to-back victories in claimers here last month and he would meet all these rivals on significantly worse terms if this were a handicap. Dontspoilasale and Una Matata can fill the places.
