Mont St Michel^p1,t⁷⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Jared Huggan⁽¹⁰⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 93

40/1

Well held in a maiden hurdle at Thurles (2m, heavy) 77 days ago. Cheekpieces and tongue strap enlisted for this handicap/all-weather debut back on the Flat and he's probably worth taking on.

Hollys Graces¹⁹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Billy Lee| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 88| C

14/1

Beaten 20 lengths when last of 17 to Onemoredance in listed race at Naas (1m, good to soft) on final run of 2025. Won a maiden here on sole 2-y-o start and she's interesting now moving back up in trip for this handicap debut.

Form: 1/6970-

San Andreas²⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 9-9| J: Shay Wallace⁽⁷⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 85| CD

11/2

Eight-time course winner. Last of 14 in handicap at Lingfield (1¼m, AW) 20 days ago but shouldn't be judged too harshly on that (never in the hunt from a hopeless position) and he was runner-up here twice prior to that.

Form: 606-220

Beauparc^t³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Colin Keane| T: G Keane| OR: 82| BF| CD

10/3

Likeable type who struck over C&D last month. Creditable third of 8 in handicap back here 34 days ago and likely to give another good account.

Form: 89-3313

(8)

Drucker³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Declan McDonogh| T: A Slattery| OR: 79| BF| CD

4/1

C&D winner in February. Good fourth of 8 in handicap back here 34 days ago and should make his presence felt once more.

Form: 226-134

(7)

Sir Callisto^t²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Robbie Colgan| T: A J Martin| OR: 77| CD

3/1

Produced a career-best when winning a 13-runner C&D handicap 22 days ago, keeping on well. 5 lb rise fair enough and another bold show could be on the way.

Form: 4956-31

(4)

Wandering Rocks^b1,t⁶²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Jamie Orr⁽⁷⁾| T: W Durkan| OR: 76

16/1

Losing run stretches back to 2022 but he's slipped to an attractive mark and finished a respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 62 days ago. Now tried in blinkers and he's not without each-way hope.

Form: 625/475

(2)

Liberate²²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Jamie Powell| T: D Hogan| OR: 74

66/1

First run since leaving James Horton when 10¾ lengths tenth of 13 to Sir Callisto in handicap at this C&D 22 days ago. Opposable.

Form: 14589-0

(10)

Rock Of Ireland¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Luke McAteer| T: Rory Devine| OR: 74| BF| D

5/1

Successful at the Curragh in March. Good second of 9 in handicap at Gowran (1½m, soft) 14 days ago and he's high on the shortlist.

Form: 6678-12

(5)

La Dame Blanche^h¹⁷⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 8-8| J: Rory Mulligan⁽⁵⁾| T: Dermot Kilmartin| OR: 70| D

50/1

Ninth of 16 in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse (2m, soft) when last seen in November. Opposable back in this sphere.

Forecasts

Sir Callisto (3/1), Beauparc (10/3), Drucker (4/1), Rock Of Ireland (5/1), San Andreas (11/2), Voice Of Reason (8/1), Hollys Graces (14/1), Wandering Rocks (16/1), Mont St Michel (40/1), La Dame Blanche (50/1), Liberate (66/1)

ROCK OF IRELAND has returned to form for his new yard the last twice and is appealing on the back of a solid second at Gowran a fortnight ago. There are dangers aplenty, though, with last-time-out C&D winner Sir Callisto greatly respected and the veteran of the party, San Andreas, likely to be on the premises. Hollys Graces is interesting returned to this course for her handicap bow and don't rule out Wandering Rocks either.
