Invincible Will^h,t¹⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Gary Carroll| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 82

9/1

Produced a career best when winning 11-runner nursery at the Curragh (7f, soft) in September. Beat only one home at Leopardstown the following month but possibly found it coming a little too soon.

Felix Somary^p¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Ronan Whelan| T: John O'Donoghue| OR: 80

16/1

Hasn't progressed since 6f debut success at Sligo last season, though probably needed the run in first-time cheekpieces when down the field at Naas on his recent reappearance.

Form: 140-9

Perisher¹⁹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 80

9/2

Australia gelding who shaped well when runner-up at Galway on debut in August but has looked less than straightforward on both his starts since, including in first-time cheekpieces on latest start. Needs to get back on track on handicap/seasonal debut.

Form: 253-

Empty Wallet¹⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 79| D

9/2

Maiden winner at Ballinrobe in July who wasn't seen to best effect when seventh of 12 in nursery at Leopardstown (8f, good to soft) in October, left poorly placed. Colin Keane takes over in the saddle for the first time and it's dangerous to assume he's shown all he can.

Form: 4157-

(3)

Nod Of Approval¹⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 72

6/1

Promise on 2 of his 3 starts in maidens and posted a respectable fifth of 12 in 1m nursery at Leopardstown on final start in October, despite being unsuited by the emphasis on speed. Should have more to offer at 3 yrs, including over longer trips.

Form: 6055-

(7)

Adel¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jamie Powell| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 71

11/1

Lightly-raced maiden who possibly needed the run when eighth of 13 on handicap debut (20/1) at Naas (7f, heavy) 13 days ago. Not written off just yet.

Form: 667-8

(2)

Love Orchid²³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Adam Caffrey| T: N Meade| OR: 71

33/1

Steadily progressive in a trio of maidens last year and strikes as the type to raise her game further now handicapping up in trip, though her opening mark could have been kinder.

Form: 864-

(6)

Hambelton¹²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Luke McAteer| T: D Marnane| OR: 68

11/2

Fair form at best in a trio of maidens at up to 1m last year but subsequently gelded and remains with potential now entering handicaps.

Form: 588-

(5)

Sunrise Angel¹⁶⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Andrew Slattery| T: A Slattery| OR: 66

3/1

Fair maiden who ran well on both his handicap starts in the autumn and expected to be thereabouts again if ready to roll on this return to action.

Form: 80324-

Chapel Lane¹⁷⁷

Forecasts

Sunrise Angel (3/1), Chapel Lane (7/2), Empty Wallet (9/2), Perisher (9/2), Hambelton (11/2), Nod Of Approval (6/1), Invincible Will (9/1), Adel (11/1), Felix Somary (16/1), Love Orchid (33/1)

SUNRISE ANGEL wasn't beaten far on both his handicap starts in the autumn and may not need to find any improvement to come out on top on this return to action. Hambelton has been gelded since last seen and remains with potential now switching to handicap company, with Nod of Approval completing the shortlist.
