Derry Lad²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: Kevin Coleman| OR: 75| D

20/1

It's been 15 runs since his last win in 2023 and he could finish only ninth of 11 in a handicap at this course (2m) 26 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Back down in trip.

Form: 80460-9

Liberate¹⁷¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: Alan Casey⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 75

80/1

Ninth of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (1¼m, good to firm) when last seen in October. Opposable now upped in trip on debut for new yard.

Sir Callisto^t¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Robbie Colgan| T: A J Martin| OR: 72| CD

4/1

C&D winner last February and latest third of 9 in handicap back from a break here 19 days ago was a creditable effort. Shortlist material.

Form: 04956-3

Yosemite Gold^h¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Wesley Joyce⁽³⁾| T: E Doyle| OR: 72

33/1

Winning hurdler who is a lightly-raced maiden in this sphere. Only seventh of 9 in a C&D handicap 19 days ago and now tried in a hood.

Form: 3453/7

Billie Frechette^t¹⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Emily Grifferty⁽¹⁰⁾| T: N Meade| OR: 71| C

12/1

Successful here last spring and finished a respectable sixth of 11 in a C&D handicap returned to this venue when last seen in October. Wouldn't be without each-way hope if raring to go.

Expound^p,t¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: J M Sheridan| T: D Hogan| OR: 67

14/1

Creditable fifth of 14 in handicap over 1m here 19 days ago. Moving back up in trip looks a good move and he's one to consider.

Form: 33626-5

(13)

Echinacea^p²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Luke McAteer| T: N C Kelly| OR: 65

7/1

Creditable second of 11 in handicap at this course (2m) 26 days ago but a 3 lb rise for that could mean that this 13-race maiden will have to wait a little longer before finally getting her head in front.

Form: 222-692

(9)

Baila Conmigo¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Ben Coen| T: Ciaran Murphy| OR: 64| CD

3/1

Produced his best effort yet when winning a 13-runner handicap at this course (10.7f) 12 days ago, proving 1¼ lengths too good for the re-opposing Beat The Devil. 3 lb rise fair enough and he has to enter calculations.

Form: 0-43151

(10)

Beat The Devil^t¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Colin Keane| T: P Magee| OR: 63| C

4/1

Sole career success to date was gained over 1m here in January. Good 1¼ lengths second of 13 to Baila Conmigo in a 10.7f handicap, again here, 12 days ago, and he's shortlisted.

Form: 522472

Brandon Creek³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Shane Foley| T: Gerard O'Leary| OR: 62| C

15/2

Successful here in November and finished a respectable eighth of 14 in a C&D handicap 33 days ago. Some of the others table more pressing claims,

Form: 99081-8

Breathe Again¹⁶⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Siobhan Rutledge⁽³⁾| T: S Lavery| OR: 56

12/1

Remains winless following 15 career starts and she ended last season on a downer.

Sarmiento Power^b⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Chris Hayes| T: M J Smith| OR: 56| CD

16/1

C&D winner in September and didn't perform at all badly when fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (2m) back from a break 5 days ago. Dropping back in trip shouldn't be an issue and likely to make his presence felt.

Form: 01255-5

(3)

Edge Of Darkness^p,t²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Julian Pietropaolo⁽⁷⁾| T: D Howard| OR: 53| D

50/1

Sported a first-time tongue strap when coming home eighth of 11 in handicap at this course (2m) 26 days ago. Hard to warm to.

Forecasts

Baila Conmigo (3/1), Sir Callisto (4/1), Beat The Devil (4/1), Echinacea (7/1), Brandon Creek (15/2), Breathe Again (12/1), Billie Frechette (12/1), Expound (14/1), Timeless Charm (14/1), Sarmiento Power (16/1), Derry Lad (20/1), Yosemite Gold (33/1), Edge Of Darkness (50/1), Liberate (80/1)

The vote goes to SIR CALLISTO, who was given a considerate return from a 5-month break when third over C&D recently and he is appealing off the same mark with that run under his belt. There wasn't much between Baila Conmigo and Beat The Devil here 12 days ago and they can both be expected to be on the premises once again, while Expound is also worthy of consideration.
