Bay Of Dreams³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Patrick McGettigan| T: Ciaran Murphy| OR: 70| D

28/1

Twice a winner for James Ferguson last year and run best excused in handicap at Bellewstown on stable debut 34 days ago, badly hampered. This may reveal more.

Form: 23122-0

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Conor Cusack⁽⁷⁾| T: P J F Murphy| OR: 70| C| D

18/1

Out of sorts, fourth of 6 in a claimer over 11f at Dundalk in March (his first try beyond 1m). On a good mark if he can bounce back for new trainer and won on his only other start here.

Form: 758-004

Faoladh^t²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Adam Browne-Souza⁽⁷⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 68| CD

7/2

C&D winner last summer and has run respectably all 3 starts this term. Should pop up again before long.

God Knows^h1¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Rory Mulligan| T: P Sweeney| OR: 67| D

7/1

Second twice in handicaps to end last season but well held in 2 runs back this year. Tries new headgear dropping back to 1m.

Form: 0522-09

Bucaneer's Spirit^p¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Hugh Horgan| T: Ian Donoghue| OR: 66| D

20/1

Retried in headgear and took advantage of a much-reduced mark to land a gamble on return from 6 months off in 1m Cork handicap from Land of The Giants. Value for more than the winning margin and remains well treated after 6 lb rise.

Form: 8000-10

Java Wood^h¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Jared Huggan⁽⁷⁾| T: K Smith| OR: 65| D

14/1

Sprang a surprise when winning 14-runner 1m handicap (40/1) at Dundalk in November and shaped well on his recent return at the Curragh. Can build on that back up in trip.

Form: 70801-5

Land Of The Giants^h¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Sam Coen| T: A McGuinness| OR: 65

5/1

Just failed behind Bucaneer's Spirit at Cork and built on that to finally open his account in 9f Ayr handicap last week (a first outing on turf with firm in the description a possible catalyst). Nudged up 2 lb and can go well again.

Form: 600621

Proleek Prince³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Aleesha McArdle⁽⁷⁾| T: M Rice| OR: 65| D

12/1

Without a win since 2024 but has dropped a long way in the weights and shaped as if better for the run after 5 months off here 4 weeks ago.

Form: 90600-9

(8)

Rappell¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: J Cleary| T: P W Flynn| OR: 65

20/1

Capitalised on falling mark at Dundalk in September. Hasn't returned in much form, looking to be going through the motions at the Curragh last week.

Form: 146-900

(12)

Ohmali³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Paddy Harnett| T: N Lupini| OR: 64| D

7/1

Won at Gowran in September. Should have come on for his first run for 6 months there in April and may show more back at 1m here.

Form: 44418-0

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Sadhbh Tormey⁽⁷⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 62| D

16/1

Failed to win last year although placed twice in turf handicaps in May. Might need this back from 8 months off.

Rockbury Lad^p,t⁷⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Keithen Kennedy| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 62| D

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Adam Grant⁽⁷⁾| T: P W Flynn| OR: 61| D

Won 3 times over 1m at Dundalk in autumn/winter but has found things tougher back on turf the last twice. Dropped another 5 lb and has cheekpieces back on (gone well in them in the past).

Form: 3-11500

Monvoe²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Reese Holohan⁽⁴⁾| T: R P Cody| OR: 71| D

8/1

Resumed the progress he had been making on the all-weather in the autumn when opening his account in 1m Limerick handicap on return 3 weeks ago. The sole 3-y-o in the field and can go well again despite a 10 lb rise.

BUCANEER'S SPIRIT landed a gamble from a much-reduced mark on his return at Cork and can go well again after a 6 lb rise. The runner-up there, Land of the Giants, finally got off the mark at Ayr last week and looks set for another good run. Sole 3-y-o Monvoe opened his account at Limerick on his return and must be respected.
