Zabriskie Point^p⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Reese Holohan⁽⁷⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 61| D

3/1

Eighteen runs since last win back in 2023 but looks ready to strike judged on recent third of 12 in handicap at Leopardstown (7f, soft) 7 days ago. Big player.

Form: 98P983

(14)

Secret Magician^p¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Paddy Harnett⁽⁵⁾| T: M Hassett| OR: 58| D

50/1

Losing run mounting up and safely held when eighth of 13 in handicap here (9.4f, soft) 14 days ago. Back down in trip.

Form: 700-008

(6)

Majestic King²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: J M Sheridan| T: D Hogan| OR: 57

11/1

Failed to trouble the judge in maidens but likely to be better off now handicapping and he's one to note in the betting.

Form: 8-80

(8)

Rodeeve^p1¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Wesley Joyce⁽³⁾| T: M J Browne| OR: 54

25/1

First run since leaving Timothy Doyle when coming home eighth of 12 in handicap at Dundalk (7f) 12 days ago. Now tried in cheekpieces.

Form: 08/070-8

(7)

Zephron^b¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-10| J: Luke McAteer| T: A McCann| OR: 54| D

14/1

Sent off at 33/1 when finishing midfield in a 1m handicap here (soft) 13 days ago. Blinkers back on.

Form: 0000-07

(3)

Uncle Albert^b¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Nicola Burns⁽⁵⁾| T: K P Cotter| OR: 52| D

12/1

Again below par when sixth of 14 in handicap at Bellewstown (1m, soft) 11 days ago and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 0500-86

Kitty Bear⁷

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

9/2

Dundalk success in January is her sole win from 21 starts. Still, she was a creditable sixth of 12 in handicap at Leopardstown (7f, soft) last week and has each-way claims on that evidence.

Form: 415426

(5)

Hell Left Loose^b¹³

Age: 10| Weight: 9-4| J: Mel Sheridan⁽¹⁰⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 48| C| D

10/1

Very good third in a 16-runner handicap at this course (1m, soft) 13 days ago. Enters calculations.

Form: 609563

(13)

Gobi Star¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J Barcoe| OR: 47| D

100/1

Struggling of late and this 8-y-o is readily passed over.

Form: 0/0-0700

(11)

Rock Etoile^v¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: Patrick McGettigan⁽⁵⁾| T: P J McKenna| OR: 44| C

40/1

Would have a chance if able to bounce back but there were no signs of an imminent revival here recently.

Form: 40-0000

(12)

Miss Americana¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Shane Foley| T: C O'Brien| OR: 43| BF

5/1

Shade below par when ninth of 20 in handicap at Leopardstown (1m, soft) 10 days ago but she wasn't knocked about and could have a say here.

Form: 2446-29

(9)

Half Nutz¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 8-12| J: E E Ryan⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J Barcoe| OR: 42| D

33/1

Unreliable sort who arrives here on a long losing run. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 4607-70

(10)

Kayamite^p,t³³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Nathan Crosse| T: C Timmons| OR: 40

50/1

Again well held at Dundalk last time and she is hard to recommend at present.

Form: 0987-08

(4)

Manhattan Dandy²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 8-10| J: Jimmy Dalton⁽⁷⁾| T: Thomas Coyle| OR: 40| D

10/3

It's been 2 years since he last got his head in front and this 9-y-o will probably find a few too good once again.

Form: 92-7468

Forecasts

Zabriskie Point (3/1), Manhattan Dandy (10/3), Kitty Bear (9/2), Miss Americana (5/1), Hell Left Loose (10/1), Majestic King (11/1), Uncle Albert (12/1), Zephron (14/1), Rodeeve (25/1), Half Nutz (33/1), Rock Etoile (40/1), Secret Magician (50/1), Kayamite (50/1), Gobi Star (100/1)

ZABRISKIE POINT was well-backed ahead of finishing a highly encouraging third at Leopardstown last week and he looks the way to go. The one who may emerge as the main danger is Miss Americana, though Hell Left Loose, Kitty Bear and handicap debutant Majestic King are noteworthy candidates, too.
