Connecteo¹⁸⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Chris Hayes| T: A Oliver

22/1

Well beaten both starts in maidens to date, including in tongue strap for latter (left off here). Returns from 6 months off likely with handicaps in mind and he's easy to oppose on turf debut.

Form: 00-

Cosmic Funk⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Gary Carroll| T: G M Lyons

15/2

Glimmers of promise when down field on debut but well beaten next outing and returns just 5 days later with qualifying for a handicap mark likely in mind.

Form: 80

Halon Bay²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Ben Coen| T: Ciaran Murphy

10/1

Modest from at best in 2 starts to date, still looking green on latter. Drops further in trip and tough to make too strong a case for.

Form: 84

Threebiggulps²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Joseph Harnett⁽⁷⁾| T: J G Coogan

200/1

Well beaten at huge odds both starts and can't be fancied here.

Form: 00

Valentino Eclipse^h1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: J A Stack

9/4

Gleneagles colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 2-y-o 6f winner Thunder Eclipse and 6f winner Eclipse Emerald. Wears hood for debut and is starting out in a weak affair so perfectly reasonable to think he'll go close if possessing enough know-how.

Caislean Ni Cuan

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: N G McCullagh| T: T Mullins

17/2

€16,000 yearling, Mehmas filly. Dam ran once out of winning sister to high-class 7f winner Teofilo. Not an obvious sort on paper but plenty of these that have experience to their names haven't shown much.

Carmel Valley¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Nathan Crosse| T: Daniel McLoughlin

17/2

Looked one for later on when mid-field on recent return from 7 months off. Progress required to make the placings.

Form: 7-7

(6)

Gilts²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Siobhan Rutledge⁽³⁾| T: R Brabazon

40/1

Hinted at ability when down field in recent debut at the Curragh (100/1) but unlikely to make any great impact this side of handicaps.

Form: 0

(4)

Goomah²²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Wayne Lordan| T: N Lupini

13/8

Showed fair form when mid-field both 2-y-o outings and is bred to do better at some stage. Returns from 226 days off in a race that looks within her capabilities granted a small step forward.

Form: 76-

Non-Runners

Khafar²¹⁶

Weight: 9-3| Age: 3

T: P Twomey J: Billy Lee

Forecasts

Goomah (13/8), Valentino Eclipse (9/4), Khafar (9/4), Cosmic Funk (15/2), Caislean Ni Cuan (17/2), Carmel Valley (17/2), Halon Bay (10/1), Connecteo (22/1), Gilts (40/1), Threebiggulps (200/1)

KHAFAR went the wrong way after a promising start last year but now starts out for a thriving yard and has been found a weak race that gives her strong claims to get off the mark. Goomah and Valentino Eclipse are the only others to make any significant appeal.
