Tero D'rosa⁴^{(ex 7)}

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Shane Foley| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 55| BF

3/1

Ended 2025 with pair of good placed efforts and built on those exploits after 6 months off when scoring at Ballinrobe (9.6f) 4 days ago, comfortably. No surprise to see him turned out under a penalty and he's very much of interest.

Form: 07032-1

Friars Gate¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Adam Browne-Souza⁽⁷⁾| T: A Leahy| OR: 59

125/1

Well held in 2 turf maidens last summer but will hold more chance now handicapping having finished midfield on qualifying run at Limerick (1m) 17 days ago. Market can guide as to expectations.

Form: 00-9

Jasmine Affanalis¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Luke McAteer| T: D Marnane| OR: 59

11/2

Won over 9f at Tipperary last summer and stepped up on first 2 starts this season when fifth of 18 at Cork 18 days ago, yet to be asked for maximum effort when not clear run over 1f out. One to bear in mind. Engaged 5.23 Roscommon Monday.

Form: 521-075

Chipsrdown²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Andrew Slattery| T: A Slattery| OR: 58

13/2

Kodi Bear filly who is easily one of the least exposed and shaped as if the return to this trip may well suit when fifth at Leopardstown (7f, soft) 4 weeks ago. Not ruled out in a trappy contest.

Form: 003-5

Peig Sayers¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Billy Lee| T: Miss H McLoughlin| OR: 57

33/1

Offered something to work with on second of 3 starts in maidens but out with the washing on handicap debut at the Curragh (1m, heavy) in October. Similar story on last month's reappearance at Cork.

Form: 4000-0

Toy Soldier^b⁵⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: Maurice Ahern| OR: 53

4/1

Ended last season badly out of sorts and no signs of a revival in refitted blinkers either outing so far this campaign.

Form: 0000-00

(8)

Can I Kiss You⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: J M Barrett| OR: 52

11/2

Modest maiden who took a step back in right direction and was unlucky to bump into a handicap blot at Gowran (1m) 7 days ago. Definite claims if replicating that here.

Form: 70408-2

Mogwli^b²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-8| J: Megan Telford-Kelly⁽⁷⁾| T: W McCreery| OR: 52| D

50/1

Cashed in off reduced mark in refitted visor at Bellewstown (1m) in October. However, safely held all 3 starts so far this spring. Finds himself in a very ordinary affair at least if switch of headgear sparks a revival.

Form: 150-000

Secret Magician^p²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Paddy Harnett⁽⁵⁾| T: M Hassett| OR: 52

16/1

Losing run mounting up and yet to fire in 4 starts this season.

Form: 00-0080

Saith Seren³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Gavin Ryan| T: A Lee| OR: 48

7/1

Still looking for first success but her very best efforts have come over this C&D and possible she found stamina stretched when fifth at Gowran (9.5f) 5 weeks ago. This test can see her in a better light.

Form: 0/894-55

Nibras Rainbow^b¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Leigh Roche| T: P W Flynn| OR: 46| CD

33/1

C&D winner who ended lengthy losing sequence at Dundalk (10.7f) in November. Didn't scale same heights thereafter, albeit possibly needing run after 3 months off having rejoined former yard at Cork 18 days ago.

Form: 19-9360

(16)

Lorr's Girl¹⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: J M Sheridan| T: R Sweeney| OR: 44

18/1

Unreliable type who ran best race of 2025 when second in a big field at Cork in July. Proved more miss than hit thereafter, no upturn for fitting of blinkers (discarded) when down the field in handicap at Dundalk 5 months ago. On a career-low mark at least for return.

Swiss Army Officer¹⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 8-10| J: Julian Pietropaolo⁽⁷⁾| T: Kevin Coleman| OR: 40| CD

40/1

Veteran C&D winner who returned to form from out of the blue when second over C&D on final outing last season. Entitled to sharpen up for last month's Cork reappearance but he's far from the easiest to predict.

Form: 00002-0

(18)

Tynamite²²⁴

Age: 12| Weight: 8-10| J: Rebecca Parsons⁽¹⁰⁾| T: D Marnane| OR: 40| D

66/1

Veteran performer who is an infrequent winner but went close on a couple of occasions on turf last summer. Absent since finishing seventh of 13 in handicap at Cork (1m) in September though, and percentage call to look elsewhere.

Hale Bopp⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 8-10| J: Patrick McGettigan⁽⁵⁾| T: R Donohoe| OR: 40| D

18/1

Arrives on a lengthy losing run and seemingly going through the motions in recent months, only sixth in 15-runner handicap at Gowran (1m) 7 days ago. RESERVE.

Tero D'rosa (3/1), Hot To Foxtrot (7/2), Toy Soldier (4/1), Jasmine Affanalis (11/2), Can I Kiss You (11/2), Chipsrdown (13/2), Saith Seren (7/1), Secret Magician (16/1), Hale Bopp (18/1), Lorr's Girl (18/1), Nibras Rainbow (33/1), Peig Sayers (33/1), Swiss Army Officer (40/1), Mogwli (50/1), Ethelwulf (50/1), Tynamite (66/1), Morning Approach (66/1), Friars Gate (125/1)

TERO D'ROSA ended last year in good form and picked up where he left off when gaining a breakthrough success at Ballinrobe 4 days ago. He hails from a yard firmly amongst the winners and earns the vote to defy a penalty. Jasmine Affanalis, Can I Kiss You and Hot To Foxtrot are a trio of others to consider.
