Cracking Cloud²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Shane Foley| T: R O'Sullivan

3/1

11/1 and very green, promising third of 17 in maiden at Gowran on debut 29 days ago. This son of Cracksman gelding seems sure to improve.

Form: 3

Glendower^t³⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Wesley Joyce⁽³⁾| T: E Doyle| OR: 67

80/1

Tongue strap on for 1st time when last of 11 in handicap hurdle at Tramore 11 months ago. More is required back in this sphere.

Mano Chicago^b1¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 85

11/10

Fairly useful gelding who posted a very good fifth of 16 in handicap at Cork 14 days ago. Blinkers added. The form pick.

Form: 3355/25

Navinsky^p1⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: James Ryan| T: J Davison| OR: 84

9/2

Runner-up in Navan maiden in September. Tongue tied when eighteenth of 23 in maiden at the Curragh (1m) on his return in March, fading 2f out. Should strip sharper now with cheekpieces added.

Form: 92-0

North Ocean⁵⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: J M Sheridan| T: J P O'Brien

4/1

9/4, encouraging fourth of 12 in maiden at Dundalk (1m) on his debut 18 months ago. Absent since though so this son of Wootton Bassett has his fitness to prove.

Form: 4/

Ryans Hope⁴⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Siobhan Rutledge⁽³⁾| T: G A Kingston

40/1

Blinkered, running-on third of 7 in maiden at Newcastle (1m) on his belated debut 14 months ago for Iain Jardine. Not easy to assess for his new yard on his comeback outing.

Form: 3-

Zammawar²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Rory Cleary| T: J P Fahey

300/1

Lightly-raced gelding, fourteenth of 17 in maiden at Gowran 29 days ago. Lots to prove.

12/1

Lightly-raced mare. 40/1, below-form eighth of 16 in maiden at Naas (7f) 6 months ago. Significantly back up in trip.

Forecasts

Mano Chicago (11/10), Cracking Cloud (3/1), North Ocean (4/1), Navinsky (9/2), Wild Sapphire (9/2), Marmeladova (12/1), Ryans Hope (40/1), Glendower (80/1), Zammawar (300/1), Nelliestar (300/1)

MANO CHICAGO holds the clear edge on form so is fancied to gain a breakthrough victory at the chief expense of Navinsky who should take a step forward with his reappearance effort at the Curragh under his belt. Cracking Cloud looks to have better days ahead of him judged on his promising debut Gowran third and also needs considering.
