Zabriskie Point^p¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Adam Caffrey| T: A McGuinness| OR: 60| D

11/2

Struggling for form since the turn of the year but he did at least stop the slide to some extent when eighth in a big field Curragh handicap over this trip 18 days ago. Mark has eased further if he can build on that.

Form: 898P98

Cannonball Queen¹⁸¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Killian Leonard| T: S M Duffy| OR: 59

50/1

Some promise on first of 3 starts in maiden company last summer but at long odds and never figured on handicap debut at the Curragh (7f) in October. Passed over on return.

Form: 8000-

Methgal^b,t⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Ben Coen| T: P J F Murphy| OR: 59| D

4/1

Showed improved form in a switch of headgear when opening his account at Dundalk (7f) in March and lost out only to an improver back there 5 days ago. Player turned out quickly back on turf.

Form: 80-4812

Roman Harry^p¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: N G McCullagh| T: S M Duffy| OR: 59| D

8/1

Ended lengthy losing run in claiming company at Dundalk (7f) in December and bright start for new yard, finishing close-up fourth over same C&D 19 days ago. Cheekpieces go back on and he's a definite each-way player.

Form: 0501-44

Chipsrdown³²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Adam Browne-Souza⁽⁷⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 58

20/1

Kodi Bear filly who showed improved form on qualifying run albeit without threatening when third in a Tipperary maiden (7f) last spring. Returns with yard in good form but assessor looks to have no chances with her opening mark.

Form: 003-

Mogwli^v¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Megan Telford-Kelly⁽⁷⁾| T: W McCreery| OR: 58

25/1

Cashed in off reduced in refitted visor at Bellewstown (1m) in October. However, yet to fire in pair of outings at the Curragh last month and passed over until displaying more positive signs.

Form: 5150-00

Brains^b,t⁹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 9-12| J: Shane Foley| T: R Donohoe| OR: 56| C

25/1

Veteran course winner this time last year who ran one of his lesser races (reportedly made a noise) when well held at Dundalk in January. However, finds himself 4 lb below last winning mark if a break has had positive effect.

Form: 45085-0

Twotolose^h³¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Nathan Crosse| T: Daniel McLoughlin| OR: 56

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden who has been absent since finishing well beaten in handicap at the Curragh (6.3f) 10 months ago. Likely best watched.

Form: 734/040-

(11)

Sea Fort^t³¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Robbie Colgan| T: S Lavery| OR: 55

33/1

Lightly-raced colt who was never involved when tenth of 13 in handicap at the Curragh in June (sole start of 2025). Betting likely to prove a good guide ahead of this.

Form: 96665/0-

(9)

She's Ideal^p1⁶

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

4/1

Winless following 7 attempts but she posted another solid effort after 5 months off when fourth at Gowran (7.8f) 6 days ago. Cheekpieces go on for 1st time and she's not discounted again partnered by Colin Keane.

Form: 409/94-4

(5)

Jazzy Dancer^p¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Wesley Joyce⁽³⁾| T: W J Martin| OR: 52| D

18/1

Ended long losing run under positive ride at Dundalk (7f) in February. Good second followed and best not judged too harshly on most recent outing there having been unable to adopt his usual prominent position. However, long time since he got his head in front on turf.

Form: 360-120

Kitty Bear¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Orla Tynan⁽⁷⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 51| BF

4/1

Belatedly off the mark at Dundalk (1m) in January and run with credit all 3 starts since, edged out final strides when runner up there 2 weeks ago. One to consider in this vein back on turf.

Form: 0-41542

Rock Basher⁶

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

5/1

Long-standing maiden but well backed starting out for new yard and shaped better than bare result when sixth in handicap at Gowran (7.8f) 6 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Could be worth chancing to build on that.

Form: 25569-6

(10)

Exceeding¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Andrew Slattery| T: A Slattery| OR: 49| BF

14/1

Just 1-28 overall and following a good reappearance second at Naas, he ran disappointingly when down the field at Navan (5.8f) 16 days ago. Steps back up in trip today.

Form: 0766-20

Romantic War^b1⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Rory Cleary| T: J G Murray| OR: 40

Sedro Woolley^v³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Reserve 1| T: W McCreery| OR: 58

10/1

Fitted with a first-time visor and produced just about his best effort to date when seventh in 20-runner Leopardstown handicap (1m) 3 days ago. Reserve.

Form: 5-567

Forecasts

Kitty Bear (4/1), She's Ideal (5/1), Methgal (11/2), Rock Basher (6/1), Roman Harry (7/1), Exceeding (10/1), Sedro Woolley (10/1), Jazzy Dancer (10/1), Chipsrdown (14/1), Sea Fort (14/1), Brains (16/1), Mullacash Buzz (16/1), Mogwli (20/1), Zabriskie Point (25/1), Cannonball Queen (33/1), Twotolose (33/1), Romantic War (50/1)

ROCK BASHER's maiden status is off putting but he shaped better than the bare result starting out for his new yard at Gowran recently, making his effort earlier than ideal, and looks worthy of another chance to build on the promise of that run. Kitty Bear, Roman Harry and Methgal arrive on the back of good efforts on all-weather and may emerge as the lead threats. She's Ideal is also worth a second look.
