Yulia^t1¹⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: J M Sheridan| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 87

3/1

Progressed into a useful performer at up to 15f in France last year. Very interesting new recruit for a leading yard with a strong record in this. Tongue tied first time. Market confidence would look significant.

Form: 432113-

Lady Mairen²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Billy Lee| T: P Twomey| OR: 86

9/2

Fairly useful form when reaching the frame on all 3 outings in 2024. Shaped as if needing first outing for 19 months when sixth of 15 in maiden at Bellewstown (11.5f, soft) 22 days ago. Should strip fitter now. Handicap debut.

Form: 243/6

Narlita^p³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Siobhan Rutledge⁽³⁾| T: H Rogers| OR: 83

4/1

Latest win at Gowran in October. Two promising efforts at the Curragh this spring, latterly third of 18 in 1¼m handicap. Should go well again.

Form: 4314-53

(9)

Beauparc^t¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: James Ryan| T: G Keane| OR: 81

9/1

Likeable type. Latest win at Dundalk in March. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Dundalk (1½m) 10 days ago. Just as effective on turf. Should be on the premises again.

Form: 9-33134

Chica Guerrera³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Reese Holohan⁽⁷⁾| T: M Fahey| OR: 78

9/1

Fifteenth of 18 in handicap (12/1) at the Curragh (1¼m, heavy) on reappearance 30 days ago. Entitled to be sharper now but will need to take a big step forward to go close.

Form: 1B233-0

Electric Beauty¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Wesley Joyce⁽³⁾| T: M Mulvany| OR: 77

9/1

Latest win at the Curragh (1m, heavy) in March. Good second there next time and back from a lesser run at Gowran when respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f) 10 days ago.

18/1

All 3 outings on Dundalk's all-weather at the end of 2024, culminating with a 1½m maiden win. Absent since ahead of this turf and handicap debut. Got to be a chance the outing will be needed.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Darragh O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 73

12/1

Fourteenth of 16 in handicap at Gowran (1m, soft) on reappearance 25 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Yard in form but she'll need to take a big step forward from the reappearance.

Forecasts

Yulia (10/3), Lady Mairen (4/1), Narlita (11/2), Beauparc (6/1), Electric Beauty (7/1), Inthesmallhours (10/1), God Knows (12/1), So Must I (12/1), Chica Guerrera (12/1), Thrifty Of Digby (14/1)

Joseph O'Brien has won 3 of the last 5 runnings so the eye is drawn to his French recruit YULIA, with confidence in her chance increased should the betting vibes prove strong. Narlita has shaped well in 2 warm handicaps at the Curragh this spring and is feared most ahead of Electric Beauty.
