Burlington House^p¹⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Reese Holohan⁽⁷⁾| T: O McKiernan| OR: 60

25/1

Looked to be getting his act together when last seen, despite a slightly ungainly way of racing, finishing a very good second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (2m, heavy) 142 days ago. Tempting Flat mark on that showing.

14/1

Not won for a while (2 victories in a fortnight at Chester in July 2024) but he's on a good mark as a result. Last of 4 in handicap at Ayr (15f, good to firm, well-backed 5/4) 13 days ago, very slowly away. Booking of Coen a plus.

Modest maiden on Flat (best effort at 1¼m), too free on her hurdling debut at Killarney 9 days ago. Passed over back on the level.

18/1 and tongue strap on first time, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Dundalk 25 days ago. Still low mileage in handicaps but more needed again up in trip here.

7/2

Improved a touch in getting off the mark at the eighth attempt in 13-runner handicap at Gowran (13.5f, soft) 26 days ago. Up 8 lb and this is another winnable contest.

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: Patrick McGettigan⁽⁵⁾| T: S M Duffy| OR: 40

6/1

Boasts just one win from 26 Flat runs but placed at Dundalk last 4 starts. Comes here in better heart than most of these so is respected back down in trip.

Forecasts

Prom Queen (7/2), Miss Australie (6/1), Deluca Chop (6/1), Edge Of Darkness (6/1), Sayidah New Bay (8/1), Cuckaloo Hill (10/1), Whosethebestboy (10/1), Tassarolo (11/1), If Dora Could (14/1), Idomything (14/1), Grey Fable (14/1), Church Mountain (16/1), Mapa (22/1), Burlington House (25/1), Kartayaz (28/1), Al What (33/1), Piatra Neamt (50/1), Jack Major (80/1)

A low-grade handicap that can go to DELUCA CHOP who has been placed at Dundalk on his last 4 starts and could gain another deserved success. Tassarolo would be a big player if getting a run after his fine effort at Leopardstown on Friday, while Gowran winner Prom Queen can go well again.
