Mr Binman Handicap (Div 2)

3YO plus | 1m 50y | 16 Runners | Turf

(5)

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Jamie Powell| T: Ciaran Murphy| OR: 70| D

Twice a winner for James Ferguson last year and run best excused when twelfth of 14 in handicap at Bellewstown on stable debut (1m, soft,) 14 days ago, badly hampered. This run may reveal more.

Form: 23122-0

Red Hugh O'Donnell^b,t²¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: G Scott| OR: 70| D

Winner at Killarney in July and wasn't disgraced when fifth of 14 in handicap at Listowel (7.1f, soft) on final 4-y-o outing. Returns from 7 months off down at a level that gives him a chance.

Form: 400105-

(15)

Faoladh^t¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Andrew Slattery| T: A Slattery| OR: 68| D

Only 2 lb above winning mark and turned in a creditable fourth of 17 in handicap at Leopardstown (1m, soft) 13 days ago. Expected to be bang there down in grade

Form: 2150-94

(11)

Minaun View^p,t¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: J Cleary⁽⁵⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 68

First run since leaving Noel C. Kelly when below form seventh of 16 in handicap at Gowran (1m, soft) 17 days ago. Lesser contest to contend with here but is a maiden so looks best opposed.

Form: 5274-07

(13)

Smithfield¹⁸⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Jack Kearney⁽³⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 68

Lightly-raced maiden who went with promise when second on debut. Not much to be taken when fifteenth of 22 in handicap at the Curragh (1m, heavy) last time, however, and off 6 months since. May still do better at some stage.

Form: 24870-

(3)

Green Icon²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Mel Sheridan⁽¹⁰⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 66

Winless since 2-y-o days and has made little impact either start this year. Plenty to prove.

Form: 0058-00

(6)

Green Kite¹⁸⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Scott McCullagh| T: Kevin Coleman| OR: 66

One of the least exposed but was well held when thirteenth of 16 on handicap debut at Gowran (7f, heavy) last time. Plenty of progress required on return from 6 months off.

Form: 0920-

(9)

Lady Odette^v1¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Declan McDonogh| T: W McCreery| OR: 65

Showed fair form for Ollie Sangster last year but little promise to be taken from thirteenth of 16 in handicap at Gowran (1m, soft) 17 days ago. Needs the first-time visor to work the oracle.

Form: 53255-0

(10)

Amemri^v²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Luke McAteer| T: D Marnane| OR: 63| CD

C&D winner who is fit from all-weather having won at Dundalk in March and this step back up in trip looks sure to suit. Well treated on old form and merits plenty of respect

Form: 5-97015

(14)

Selective Power^p¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Chris Hayes| T: Thomas Coyle| OR: 62| D

Stepped up on reappearance run when creditable fourth of 14 in handicap at Bellewstown (1m, soft) 14 days ago, nearest finish. Cheekpieces back on now and he should prove competitive from easing mark.

Form: 0780-04

(16)

Fits Perfect¹⁸⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Gary Halpin| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 75

Well-bred gelding who looks the type to do better in handicaps at some point, possibly over further than this, but he has to be taken seriously on return from 6 months off given connections. Market will guide.

Form: 509-

(8)

Sayidah New Bay²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Nathan Crosse| T: John O'Donoghue| OR: 61

Showed promise in handicaps last year and probably needed run when down field on recent reappearance. Drops in trip here but can be expected to show more.

Form: 88533-0

(4)

Mythical Rock⁸⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Paddy Harnett⁽⁵⁾| T: C Byrnes| OR: 60

Broke duck when won 13-runner handicap at Dundalk (10.7f) 85 days ago on final outing for P. J. F. Murphy in January. Back down in trip and returned to turf in a deeper contest for stable debut so doesn't look an obvious one to follow up.

Form: 3498-21

(7)

Bear Right²¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Keithen Kennedy⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 67

Fair form at best to date but last year's nursery debut didn't show her to best effect. Less exposed than most so may show more at some stage this year. Returns from 219 days off.

Form: 5066-

(12)

Only One Scobie¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Rory Mulligan⁽⁵⁾| T: P W Flynn| OR: 64

First form when sixth of 10 in maiden at Gowran (1m, soft) 16 days ago. Makes handicap debut with an awful lot more required.

Form: 0-0006

(2)

Monvoe¹⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Leigh Roche| T: R P Cody| OR: 61

Good efforts when runner-up at Dundalk last 2 starts. Off 157 days since but looks likely to be suited by step up in trip so not without hope.

Form: 979922-

Forecasts

Mythical Rock (4/1), Faoladh (11/2), Monvoe (13/2), Selective Power (8/1), Amemri (8/1), Fits Perfect (10/1), Smithfield (12/1), Minaun View (12/1), Red Hugh O'Donnell (14/1), Bear Right (14/1), Green Kite (14/1), Sayidah New Bay (16/1), Bay Of Dreams (16/1), Lady Odette (25/1), Only One Scobie (25/1), Green Icon (33/1)

AMEMRI has a win to her name at this track and still looks to be on a good mark after recent Dundalk success so she can prove too good for Faoladh and Selective Power.
