Tony Harmon Services Handicap

Off time: 17:27 | Winning time: 2m 14.95s

(1)

Cape Cod¹⁸³

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 92

3/1

€200,000 foal, 350,000 gns yearling. Wootton Bassett colt was value for a good bit more than the winning margin when getting off the mark at Naas in October. Holds an entry in the Irish Derby and is expected to improve stepping up to 1¼m on handicap debut.

Form: 9321-

Extravagant²⁰¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 85

9/1

Half-brother to top-class Cloth Of Stars (winner up to 10.5f) who comfortably opened his account in a Killarney nursery before disappointing on softer ground than previously faced at Listowel in September. Returns to a handicap over longer trip and would be foolish to dismiss.

Form: 23814-

Marjorie Daw¹⁷⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Gary Carroll| T: J G Murphy| OR: 85

14/1

Sottsass filly confirmed the promise of her debut when fairly useful winner of Gowran maiden (1m, heavy) and this Irish Oaks entrant should have more to offer over a longer trip on handicap bow.

Form: 41-

Cherry Hill Girl²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Andrew Slattery| T: A Slattery| OR: 83

9/1

Fairly useful filly wasn't disgraced when seventh in the Madrid Handicap at Naas (7f) on comeback, and while step up to 1¼m something of a question mark on pedigree, it's hard to discount one from a yard who've made an excellent start to the Flat season.

Form: 3613-7

Madbadanddangerous¹⁸²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Oisin Murphy| T: N Meade| OR: 81

15/8

Coulsty filly. Dam (unraced) closely related to very smart 1½m-2½m winner Courage Mon Ami. Off the mark at second time of asking at Naas (7f) and ran a cracker when third in valuable sales race there in October. Looks sure to improve for the longer trip on handicap bow and could be the one to beat.

Form: 213-

(7)

Pierre Grosse¹⁸²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Keithen Kennedy⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 80

9/1

52,000 gns Palace Pier gelding was unsuited by the drop back to 7f when sixth (behind Madbadanddangerous) in a sales race at Naas in October, and while a reversal of that form looks unlikely, he will at least benefit from the switch to longer trips/handicaps.

Form: 436-

(4)

So Must I⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J M Sheridan| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 80

13/2

Sottsass filly proved a different proposition for the step up to 1¼m when successful at Dundalk in February, and she's open to further improvement now sent handicapping by excellent yard (also saddles Another Day Done).

Form: 9-861

(3)

Another Day Done^p1⁷⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 75| BF

10/1

Sottsass colt was a decisive winner of 1m Dundalk handicap in first-time visor but wasn't in same form when fourth there in late January. Shapes as though he's crying out for this trip, though, and he isn't one to take lightly in change of headgear on turf debut.

Form: 7607-14

Forecasts

Madbadanddangerous (15/8), Cape Cod (3/1), So Must I (13/2), Pierre Grosse (9/1), Extravagant (9/1), Cherry Hill Girl (9/1), Another Day Done (10/1), Marjorie Daw (14/1)

MADBADANDDANGEROUS finished his juvenile season with a fairly useful third in a valuable sales race and is likely to be even better over this sort of distance. He's narrowly preferred to Ballydoyle's Cape Cod, who holds an Irish Derby entry and looks the type to keep on improving.
