Giselles Defence^p²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Jimmy Dalton⁽⁷⁾| T: Sean Davis| OR: 60

12/1

Small step in the right direction when fifth at Bellewstown last time. He's slipped a long way in the weights and is worth noting if the market speaks in his favour.

Form: 70-0005

(14)

Keilah^t1²¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Gary Noonan⁽⁵⁾| T: M M McNiff| OR: 60

8/1

Has been off since unseating on final start for W. McCreery in late-September. Tongue strap goes on for new connections, and she ought to be competitive if back on song for her return.

Form: 5/7632U-

Think About It²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Wesley Joyce⁽³⁾| T: T P McGettigan| OR: 59

50/1

Maiden has made no impact in 2 starts for new yard and hopes rest on a significant step up in trip.

Form: 5049-80

(3)

She's Ideal²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: J M Sheridan| T: P W Flynn| OR: 55

5/2

Maiden posted her best run in a handicap when fourth of 16 at Gowran (1m) on reappearance, though does have stamina to prove upped in distance.

Form: 409/94-4

(6)

Sarangpur²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Rory Mulligan⁽⁵⁾| T: Paul Mulligan| OR: 53

9/4

Much improved on just second start for current connections, finishing third of 14 in a handicap at Gowran, and makes plenty of appeal, with that form working out well.

Form: 000-83

(13)

Cuckaloo Hill^t1¹⁷⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: James Ryan| T: M Flannery| OR: 51

12/1

Showed little in 3 starts for current yard last year. Returns with a tongue strap replacing cheekpieces.

Form: 230908-

Metamorpheus³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Jamie Orr⁽⁷⁾| T: A McNamara| OR: 51

5/1

Remains with just a sole win over jumps but shaped well when third in a Downpatrick handicap hurdle last time, and he makes some appeal on first Flat start for current yard.

Form: 467835

(12)

Spirit Of Indalo¹⁷²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Hugh Horgan⁽⁵⁾| T: R Brabazon| OR: 48

25/1

Looked limited in 7f/1m maidens at the end of last year, though does at least switch to a handicap/longer trip on her return.

Form: 055-

Angel Harry^t²⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Robbie Colgan| T: P J F Murphy| OR: 45

40/1

Showed nothing on handicap debut at Roscommon last September and has plenty to prove.

Form: 000800-

Creative Dancer^p¹¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 8-10| J: Sadhbh Tormey⁽⁷⁾| T: Ian Donoghue| OR: 40

14/1

Remains with one standout effort on the Flat and he was below form when mid-field in a Naas handicap hurdle on latest start in January.

Form: 0898/87-

(7)

Haeret In Pectore^p,t⁹³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Declan McDonogh| T: A J Martin| OR: 40

16/1

Has hinted there could be better to come for current connections, and while arriving on the back of a poor run at Dundalk in January, he's worth a second look in the betting.

Form: 0005-50

(1)

Serengeti Sunrise⁷⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: J Cleary⁽⁵⁾| T: R K Watson| OR: 40

40/1

Well held in a classified stakes at Newcastle in February and looks opposable back in a handicap.

Form: 0090-46

Forecasts

Sarangpur (9/4), She's Ideal (5/2), Cleopatra's Needle (3/1), Copper Craft (4/1), Metamorpheus (5/1), Keilah (8/1), Giselles Defence (12/1), Cuckaloo Hill (12/1), Creative Dancer (14/1), Haeret In Pectore (16/1), Spirit Of Indalo (25/1), Serengeti Sunrise (40/1), Angel Harry (40/1), Think About It (50/1)

CLEOPATRA'S NEEDLE shaped as though she could be ready to strike on her latest Flat start and is narrowly preferred to Sarangpur, who finished a solid third at Gowran last time. Copper Craft is likely to be in the mix, too, providing he can translate his recent all-weather form to turf.
