Follow Me²³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Scott McCullagh| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 83

16/1

Has gone the wrong way since two wins in 2024, ninth of 16 in a handicap at Limerick (40/1) 23 days ago in first-time hood after 6 months off. Hood removed for this step up in trip.

Form: 00/604-9

Syzygy³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Ben Coen| T: Daniel McLoughlin| OR: 83| D

7/2

Completed a hat-trick last autumn and ran a cracker when third in Irish Lincolnshire on return from 5 months off. Progressed once more when third at Leopardstown 36 days ago. Steps back up to 1¼m with cheekpieces removed, and likely type to improve again.

Form: 7111-33

Queen Lioness²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Reese Holohan⁽⁷⁾| T: M Fahey| OR: 82

10/1

Had been off the best part of 3 years when winning a 1m maiden at Limerick (50/1) 23 days ago. That goes down as a surprise victory, but no fluke about it, and looks set to make up for lost time. Makes handicap debut stepping back up in trip and is open to further improvement.

Form: 4/1

Kilcrea Rock^t⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 81

10/3

Bettered last year's efforts on belated switch to handicaps when second of 11 at Leopardstown (5/1) 8 days ago, no match for the winner. Up 4 lb for that but should remain competitive and feature in the finish.

Form: 77643-2

Electric Beauty¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Wesley Joyce⁽³⁾| T: M Mulvany| OR: 77

13/2

Followed a win at the Curragh in March with a battling second over the same C&D, but form mixed since. Proved effectiveness for this trip when third of 10 at Sligo over 11f (12/1) 15 days ago. Remains of interest.

Lahore Da King^p,t²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Yudish Geerdharry⁽⁷⁾| T: A Mullins| OR: 75

22/1

Been in good form this season and ran best race to open his account on the turf at Bellewstown (14/1) in April. Wasn't in the same form when 12th of 17 at Curragh over 7f (10/1) 29 days ago. Faces a significant step up in trip here.

Little Miss P³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Billy Lee| T: W McCreery| OR: 72

20/1

Ran poorly after 8 months off on handicap debut, when fourteenth of 17 at Leopardstown (12/1) 36 days ago. Should be fitter for that reappearance, but steps up significantly in trip here and was too free when tried over 11f last July.

Form: 63555-0

Sir Jeremy⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Colin Keane| T: N Meade| OR: 68

7/2

Largely disappointed last season, and shaped as if better for the run on first outing for new yard when seventh of 14 in a handicap at Curragh (11/1) in March after 7 months off. Faces a significant step up in trip.

Form: 88460-7

(12)

Gotta Catch'em All^p²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Adam Caffrey| T: H Rogers| OR: 66

17/2

Remains a maiden after 23 runs but wasn't disgraced on form when sixth of 23 in handicap at Navan 23 days ago, showing why he remains a maiden, lugging left throughout the straight. Faces a tough task here.

Form: 2284-76

Robot Rock^t⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Robbie Colgan| T: A J Martin| OR: 65

80/1

Ran poorly on handicap debut finishing twelfth of 14 at Roscommon (40/1) 7 days ago having left Xavier Blanchet after 9 months off. Hard to be confident about what to expect.

Form: 082-0

Oust¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Rory Cleary| T: J Halley| OR: 73

14/1

A €40,000 buy yet to score in three starts, fared no better last time when fifth of 10 in a maiden at Ballinrobe (33/1) 10 days ago. Makes handicap debut but one to watch.

Forecasts

Kilcrea Rock (10/3), Sir Jeremy (7/2), Syzygy (7/2), Electric Beauty (13/2), Gotta Catch'em All (17/2), Queen Lioness (10/1), Oust (14/1), Follow Me (16/1), Rising Sky (16/1), Little Miss P (20/1), Lahore Da King (22/1), Robot Rock (80/1)

SYZYGY completed a hat-trick last autumn and has returned in fine form, so can resume winning ways stepped back up in trip. Kilcrea Rock bettered last year's efforts switched to handicaps, only up 4 lb for finishing behind one ahead of its mark and should remain competitive. Electric Beauty proved her effectiveness for this trip last time and remains of interest, while Queen Lioness is open to improvement on handicap debut.
