Deuteronomy¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Nicola Burns⁽⁵⁾| T: R P Burns| OR: 60| C

28/1

Resurgent in refitted headgear last summer, rattling off a quick-fire hat-trick in June at up to 9f on turf. Well held on reappearance in handicap at the Curragh and probably needs help from the assessor from current mark.

12/1

Ran below form when down the field in handicap at Dundalk (1m) in January but returns to turf from career-low mark and worth a market check dropped in grade.

Skib Gold¹⁸¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Paddy Harnett⁽⁵⁾| T: M J Byrne| OR: 59| CD

17/2

C&D winner last summer. 13/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f) when last seen in October. The headgear is discarded and has a 6-month absence to overcome but is of interest nevertheless at this level.

Khormor Syd^t⁹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Billy Lee| T: G Scott| OR: 55

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Patrick McGettigan⁽⁵⁾| T: A Kinirons| OR: 46| D

9/2

On long losing run but ran well when an unlucky fifth in handicap at Dundalk in January. Failed to repeat that when last seen following month but any market confidence has to be noted.

Forecasts

Patrick Street (9/2), Sarangpur (5/1), Khormor Syd (7/1), I Do Believe (7/1), Masego (17/2), Skib Gold (17/2), Prom Queen (10/1), I've Been Dreaming (10/1), Magna Gee Gee (12/1), Broadchurch (14/1), Starting Monday (16/1), Ethelwulf (18/1), Deuteronomy (28/1), Fantasy Fara (33/1)

An open-looking handicap and preference is for SKIB GOLD who has few miles on the clock at this level. Magna Gee Gee looks well treated and can make his presence felt, while Patrick Street can also make the placings.
