Lady Arwen³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Sam Coen⁽⁵⁾| T: C O'Dwyer| OR: 60| CD

7/1

Again failed to prove her effectiveness on the all-weather (0-5) at Dundalk last time, though she's recorded 2 of her 3 wins at this track and looks interesting in this grade.

Form: 4200-00

(10)

The Blue Panther^p¹⁷²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Nicola Burns⁽⁵⁾| T: R P Burns| OR: 60| CD

14/1

Has made a winning reappearance at Listowel previous 2 seasons and this could be the time to catch him, returning from a 5-month break.

Form: 064/145-

Not Simple^h¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Killian Leonard| T: J M Barrett| OR: 57

14/1

Probably needed the run when eleventh of 23 at Curragh last time and should do better returning to the grade of her sole previous success, with a handy draw to boot.

Form: 21980-0

(13)

Zephron^p¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-12| J: Mikey Sheehy| T: A McCann| OR: 56| D

33/1

Having joined an in-form stable, failed badly to justify support on reappearance at Navan last time. Clearly thought capable of better, though.

Form: 00000-0

(7)

She's Ideal¹⁶²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Colin Keane| T: P W Flynn| OR: 55

17/2

Lightly-raced maiden stepped forward from her reappearance/stable debut when fourth of 14 in claimer at Dundalk in October. Off further 15 months but does have Colin Keane aboard first time.

Form: 5409/94-

Famous Enough^t¹⁹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Luke McAteer| T: P T Foley| OR: 53| BF| D

7/1

Never looked like following up his Dundalk success when sixth of 13 (under a penalty) in handicap at Cork in late-September, though ought to find the pace set-up more in his favour this time.

Form: 104016-

(11)

Rock Basher¹¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Reese Holohan⁽⁷⁾| T: Aidan Melia| OR: 51

9/2

Long-standing maiden who was struggling for form on the all-weather for Denis Hogan over the winter, though promising claimer takes off valuable 7 lb on first start for new yard.

Form: 025569-

(15)

Roderick^p,t⁸⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 9-6| J: J M Sheridan| T: P Sweeney| OR: 50| D

20/1

Below form both all-weather starts over the winter but has plenty of form in this grade on turf, for all his draw is less than ideal.

Form: 50407-7

(14)

Red Veil^p⁸⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Ronan Whelan| T: A Sexton| OR: 49

33/1

Maiden has shaped like a non-stayer over hurdles this season. Cheekpieces back on but hard to be confident with her Flat form more miss than hit.

Form: 963000-

(8)

Galactic Grey^t¹¹⁶⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: Donagh O'Connor| T: C P Donoghue| OR: 48

50/1

Naturally a concern that this inconsistent sort has been off over 3 years off.

Form: 652800/

(5)

Rock Etoile⁵⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: P J McKenna| OR: 48| CD

12/1

Won this race in 2023 but yet to fire in three starts for new yard, latest on the all-weather in February.

Form: 040-000

(12)

Hell Left Loose^b¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 9-3| J: Mel Sheridan⁽¹⁰⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 47| CD

10/1

Veteran went a long way to confirming his return to form when sixth of 23 in handicap at the Curragh last time, now only 1 lb above his latest winning mark.

Form: 060956

(9)

Kilgharrahs Love^p1¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Rory Cleary| T: T Cleary| OR: 45

40/1

Maiden has hit the frame in this grade but cheekpieces go on for first time (previously worn a visor without success), following an underwhelming comeback run at the Curragh.

Form: 04867-0

(16)

Master Garvey^t⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Rory Mulligan⁽⁵⁾| T: Joseph Murray| OR: 41| D

7/1

Placed twice in this grade off higher marks last summer and has been running creditably on the all-weather, latest when third of 11 at Dundalk. Needs considering despite a tricky draw.

Form: 990-453

(17)

Miss Americana¹⁷¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Shane Foley| T: C O'Brien| OR: 41

8/1

Maiden had run of in-frame efforts ended when 8¾ lengths sixth of 14 to Hell Left Loose in handicap at this course last October, though she's less exposed than most in this field.

Form: 492446-

Carrickfinn^b,t⁶²

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: Siobhan Rutledge⁽³⁾| T: Shane Gallagher| OR: 40

15/2

Hit-and-miss performer went close to breaking her duck at this track last June but was out of sorts when last seen on the all-weather in February.

Form: 0400-78

Forecasts

Rock Basher (9/2), Lady Arwen (7/1), Master Garvey (7/1), Famous Enough (7/1), Carrickfinn (15/2), Miss Americana (8/1), She's Ideal (17/2), Hell Left Loose (10/1), Rock Etoile (12/1), Not Simple (14/1), The Blue Panther (14/1), Roderick (20/1), Zephron (33/1), Red Veil (33/1), Kilgharrahs Love (40/1), Galactic Grey (50/1), Bang Po (100/1)

Two-time course winner LADY ARWEN returns to turf on a tempting mark and could be worth chancing in a wide-open handicap. Master Garvey has a wider than ideal draw but is well treated on best form, while The Blue Panther bids to win on reappearance for the third consecutive season.
