Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 68

17/2

Finished in the frame 4 times during a largely consistent juvenile campaign but was below form tackling polytrack for the first time when last seen in October. Will need to hit the ground running returning from 6-month break.

Gold Find^b1¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Ben Coen| T: Daniel McLoughlin| OR: 68

6/1

Showed ability in Dundalk maidens at the end of last year (gelded since). Made no impact upped in trip on handicap debut/return, but entitled to strip fitter for that outing and return around 1m should suit.

Form: 756-8

(4)

Personified²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 68

5/1

Lightly raced and progressive 3-y-o, who took a significant step forward when 2¼ lengths third of 9 in handicap at Dundalk. Open to further improvement and no reason to think he won't prove at least as effective on turf.

Form: 7853

Spirit Honour⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Gary Carroll| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 68

22/1

Showed fair form in Dundalk maidens, finding only a single rival too good on second start. Makes turf/handicap debut and no surprise were he to take a step forward.

Form: 729

The Love Machine²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Luke McAteer| T: Sean Davis| OR: 67

40/1

Won nursery at Navan in October during busy juvenile campaign for Michael Mulvany. Has yet to fire for new yard this year but may do better for step back up to 7f.

Form: 1456-00

Smart Sioux^t¹⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Rory Cleary| T: C O'Connell| OR: 59

Nephin Mountain³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Jamie Powell| T: M Mulvany| OR: 55

5/1

Off 9 months and gelded, made positive start in handicaps when 2½ lengths fourth of 10 at Gowran 3 days ago. Step up in trip should suit if coping with quick turnaround.

Form: 600-4

(3)

Dervo Annie¹²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Chris Hayes| T: C O'Connell| OR: 52

25/1

10/3

Form: 8747-04

PERSONIFIED improved for the switch to handicaps at Dundalk last month and, with further progress likely, is taken to open her account. Nephin Mountain and Gold Find head the dangers.
